July Crop Report for Missouri.
Columbia, Mo-, Jnly 8. bed

day by Geo. b. Ellis, Secretary
State Board of Agriculture, as
follows;
Corn. In spite of excessive
rains in some sections the corn
shows a very satisfactory condi-
ton. The heavy rains in the
Northwestern portion of the
state have caused some corn to
be lost in the bottoms and have
prevented proper cultivation,
lent through the northwest sec
ton but is worst in Caldwell,
Daviess, Grumpy and Gentry
counties. A few counties in the
conditions in the other portions
of the state, however, are very
satisfactory and have improved
somewhat over last month. The
condition in the entire state is
So as compared with 81 for last
month and an average of 50 for
the past ten years. In the
southern part of the state quite
a lot of the corn is laid by and
some of it is tasseling, In gen
eral, the condition of corn is
much above the average, and
prospects are better than any
year since the record crop of
1902. The acreage this year is
very large, being Z per cent
greater than that planted last
year, or approximately 600
acres.
Wheat. The wheat harvest is
somewhat later this year than
usual, and especially is this true
in the northwest section of the
state. In the southern and cen
trail parts of the state the wheat
harvest is practically finished,
and is progressing very well in
the northeast section. Wet
weather interfered somewhat
with harvesting, and a small
amount Of wheat was lost by
overflow, and following very
hard winter an unusually large
acreage of wheat has been either
abandoned or plowed up. Nine
per cent will not be harvested
this year. Most of this loss has
been in the northwest and north.
central sections, where wheat
was very badly winter-kilied
In northwest Missouri only rs
per cent of the crop sown last
fall will be harvested. The
wheat, although thin has filed
exceptionally well, and the quail
ity is of the best. The improve
ment in the past few weeks will
insure a fairly satisfactory yield
for the state. The average es.
timated yield for the state is
1913 bushels as compared with a
ten-year average of 1877 bushels.
The lowest estimated yield is in
the central section where the
average is 1873 bushels per acre,
and the highest is in northeast
Missouri with an average of II
bushels.
Threshing has begun ina few
of the southern counties both in
southeast and southwest Mis-
souri,, and in a few places in the
central portion of the state.
With the estimated yields per
acre the wheat crop of Missouri
should be about 20 2-3 millions OF
bushels as compared with 20 2.9
millions for last year, This office
changes this month from a per-
centage condition of wheat to an
estimate in bushels per acre, as
the crop is now mature and al
most all harvested.
Oats. The prospects for the
cat crop this year are very
iattering. The average condi-
ton in the state is SO as com
pred with a five-year average of
III. The cold, wet spring rather
delayed the growth of the plant,
but favorable weather for the

While no way has yet been found tomake
