selves lucky" said Henry Wallace
after he had returned from a tour
OF nearly every county in the state,
and the northern part of Missouri
We may have that much, but II
won't surprise me if the crop yield
falls 100000 bushels short of that
figure.
IN making my tour found some OF
the fields in very bad condition, while
others We're very good. The best corn
Is IN the northern part OF the state.
! believe the crop there will be above
Inc average yield, but in some of the
central and southern sections 1t will
De almost nothing. There are two
reasons for this. One is that most of
the corn was planted so late that II
cannot possibly mature before kill.
ing frosts occurs, and another is that
the corn did not receive q drop OF
rain just at the critical period when
moisture was absolutely necessary.
"As result of this the ears of
corn have not filed out to the tips,
che cans are smaller in size and the
kernels loose and have grown far
apart.
Some crop experts may think that
the total yield will be up to the aver
age but doubt 1t. This is an of
year. II there ever was one, FOR be.
ieve the total yield will not exceed
e35, 100000 bushels"
George A. Wells. secretary of the
Western Grain Dealers association,
estimated the yield at 257,OOO,O00
bushels and John Cownie, government
crop statistician estimated it at 1885,
100000 at about the same time. No
one seems to agree with the latter's
figures owing to the many reverses
corn has received during the season.
However, the exact condition will
not be known until December 1, when
figures are compiled showing the
exact Weld.

Shoes are an ever-present problem
with many OF US. and perhaps more so
TO the woman who goes daily 20 her
office. In no other part of the whole
wardrobe does there lie such possibility
for extreme neatness and such great
danger Of slOvenIincss. The expense OF
keeping shoes In order Is great TO the
girl Of modest income, yet # is not the
least bit more expensive to keep the
shoes In perfect repair by small doses
paid for in correspOndingly small sums
OF money than TO let them go entirely.
Shoes with rundown heels are des-
picable. They not only look ugly, but
are very injurious to the health. If
you wear high heels and have weak
ankles, your heels are sure to run
down. Better have several lifts Of
the leather removed so that the heel
