Missouri Crop Report for Sept.

missouri Crop Report Tor sept.
COLUMBIA, No. Sept. 5, 1908
Tie Secretary Of the Slate
Board Of Agriculture, Geo B.
ellis, today made the following
announcement Of crop conditions
in this state.
Corn The weather during
August was somewhat more iav.
orable taking the state as a
whole than during the previous
month. However, the rams
have been local and there has
been no general rain during the
month, but in most neighbour.
hood the rain has been sufficient
to keep up normal growth of the
crop. A number Of correspon.
d e n : $, however report
that the corn has been injured
during the month by dry
weather. The condition has fal.
len of about two points during
the month, the general average
for the state now being a. as
compared with "a one month ago
and SO one year ago. The pre-
sent condition, however, is based
upon the prospect for normal
weather until the middle Of Oct.
The average date for a killing
frost is Oct. IA, and that will give
about time for late corn to
mature.
1t is possible, however, that a
small percentage Of the acreage
planted the first week in July
will require a little longer time.
Some Of the late planted corn is
just now in the 1asseling stage.
A factor which should be taken
into consideration in the corr
crop is the greatly reduced acre.
age which, on account Of The
overflow and excessive rains il
the spring, is estimated at abouI
10 per cent below what it wa:
last year. Our correspondents
estimate that II per cent Of tn,
entire crop will be fully matureC
by September goth, the remain
der Of the crop requiring any
where from that time until tn,

wheat crop by counties, but /
take several days to tabulate tina
report and it will probably be th
18th Of this month before II j
complete. The new crop will b
somewhat reduced in acreage o.

have put the ground in geo0

DELEGATES HERE.
Republican Delegation Meets to
Arrange Details.
Will Talk Over Committee As
signments and Other Things.

Members of the Kansas delegation
to the Republican national conven-
ton will meet in Topeka this after
noon, and will probably agree to
recommend David W. Mulvane as Re-
publican national committeeman
from Kansas.
There are twenty members OF the
Kansas delegation, and it is thought
that most of them will attend the
meeting. OF course Senators Curtis
and Long, who head the list, will not
be here.
1t is rather out of the ordinary for
the Kansas delegation to meet before
the time of going to the convention,
but this year it was decided to do this
for the purpose of getting everything
settled about what the Kansas delega-
ton will do when it gets to Chicago.
The Auditorium hotel will probably
be the Kansas headquarters, and not
only will the delegation have a couple
of rooms there for headquarters, but
the Individual members of the delega-
tioo will probably make that their
stopping place in Chicago. At the
last Republican convention, the KAN
sas headquarters were at the Auditor
ium, but the delegates mostly stayed
at Chicago Beach hotel some miles
put on style, and take the best there
is going. At least that seems to be
the sentiment of the delegates who
came in this morning.
The meeting today will also talk
over the question of committee as
signments at the convention. Kan
sas would like a place on some of
the important committees, and the
delegates will today decide what they
will do and who they will support.
Senator Longs candidacy for the
job of temporary chairman of the
convention will be discussed, and If
Long wants the office, Kansas will get
the wheels going in his behalf. When
they were talking about sending Long
as a delegate he said there was moth
ing in the story about his being after
the job of temporary chairman. But
his friends say that he ought to have
1T If he wants it, and they seem to be
of the opinion that he wants it.
The meeting of the delegation will
also take up the question of who
wants to go to the convention as
spectators, and will get in a bid for
enough tickets to accommodate the
whole crowd. Another thing to be
done is to select the route to be used
In travelling to Chicago. The delega-
ton will probably go in a special car.
The names of the delegates are as
follows:
At large-Chester 1. Long. Charles

SPRING SHOWERS IN KANSAS.
Rainfall Here Is Only Fraction of an
Inch,

light shower Of rain fell in To-
peka and vicinity last night and was
followed by numerous showers during
the night and this morning the total
precipitation amounting to 20 of an
inch. The forecast indicates showers
during the next "a hours and a high
temperature for tonight and a muggy
sleepless night as like as not.
1--WE are now having a touch of
genuine April weather." said Mr.. Flora
Of the weather observers office. "The
conditions were such during yesterday
and last night that nearly every por-
ton of the state was visited by show
ers though it can not be said that the
rain was general in it's nature. The
showers fell at different times and
varied in intensity from a trace to an
inch and one-half which fell at Baker.
while the reports this morning do
not indicate rain in the northwestern
part of the state, it is fair to guess
that Kansas has all the moisture that
is needed at this time and too much in
the southeastern part. They need sun
shine down there more than anything
else and the conditions in the remain
ing sections of the state are just about
as fine as they could possibly be-"
The Santa Fe and Rock Island rail-
roads report showers over their entire
systems in Kansas, while the cloudy
conditions which prevail today Indicate
the probabilities of numerous showers
during the day and night. From the
growers standpoint, Kansas is a favor
ed state today with all the moisture
necessary. plenty of sunshine and high
temperatures.

Value of Standard Oil Property in
Kansas.

Atwood -Cady, tax agent for the
Standard Oil company, today brought
to the state tax commission the prop
erty statement of the Prairie Oil g.
Gas company, the Kansas branch of
owns $S,6O4, 431.72 worth of property
in Kansas.
Mr.. Cady says that it cost the Prairie
Oil & Gas company $1,000 to collect
the information for this report.
In 1907 the Prairie Oil & Gas COM
pany was assessed on a valuation of
S3,616,518, but it returned it's property
at about " millions. The other mil
lion was handed to it by the state
board of pipe line assessors. OF course
1t is the privilege of the Kansas state
tax commission to increase the alleged
valuation of $S,6O4,0OO this year if
desired.
The company states that it's gross
receipts in 1907 were $1,146,822
1t places a different value per mile
on each mile of its pipe line, Varying
according to size from Sis for the q
inch pipes to $6.592 per mile for the
16 inch pipes.
Montgomery has nearly $4,000, 900
worth of the Prairie Oil & Gas COM
pany's property within it's borders
Wilson comes second with 2A mil
lions. This exceedingly heavy value in
those counties is due to the immense
tank farms in those counties, in which
millions of barrels of oil are stored
The valuation of the company's
property, as estimated by the COM
pany, for each county in which the
company has property. are estimated

TOTHEFAT BUGABOO

Fat people are usually jolly. They seem
to take 1t for granted that nature has al
lotted to them an extra portion of good
weight They seem to enjoy the extra ap-
portionment of wobbly, strengthless fat.
As a matter of fact they don't do any
thing of the kind. Most of them would I'M
dergo hardship to train down to a COM
Portable size and weight and many of
them have attempted strenuous exercise
and diet, but after a brief experience have
returned to the old way. The humane and
modern method of losing superfluous fat
is to improve the assimilation of the food
and better the condition of the blood
which is responsible for the creation of
fat cells.
One of the most reliable and most effec-
; tive prescriptions is being used with mar
Vicious results by fat people who desire to
attain a comfortable and more attractive
appearance. The formula is as follows
= ounce Marmola, " ounce Fluid Extract
Cascara Aromatic, and S1s ounces Syrup

at trifling cost, but be sure you get the
