CROP OUTLOOK IN THIS
COUNTRY As GOOD AS
ANY PLACE N STATE

al throughout the county and state.
In Audrain there have been rains in
various sections but no'general down
)ours. The rainfall came as a God
serd in most parts although some
fear was expressed that the oats
might suffer.
The general crop outlook In Au-
drain is as favorable as IN any sec
ion OF the State. This outlook, It
might be added, is much better than
thirty days ago. In some parts of
he county the yield will not be what
Il promised as the recent rains have
nor been general but, as rule, have
falIen in certain sections.
While the wheat crop, in most I'M
stances, in Audrain viii average but
little better than half the oats i'm
he majority of fields, promise unus-
ually well. Corn is showing up
much better and will yield more than
he estimates month ago stated
So far we have heard OF but one In
stance where hail has injured the Au-
drain crops. P. d. Riggs, living four
and a half miles south of this city,
says fields and gardens suffered, re-
,ently, near him in am area not over
quarters Of a mile square.
w. d. Mason says the wheat on
lis place north of this city, will av-
srage as low and that elsewhere in
nis section it viii be but little better
than Is bu. to the acre. Reports from
other sections Of the county place the
average per acre at about 20 bu.
D. f. Clark recently harvested his
rs acres of oats that gave fine
yield.
]. w. Trimble reports but half a
crop of wheat in Santa Fe vicinity be
cause Of the little rain that has visit
ed that section. Levi VIM, of
Cant neighborohood, reports only
naH a crop of wheat will be har-
vested. Joe Mongler, who farms north
of Mexico, expects an average of 20
bu. an acre from his wheat
C. p. Arnold, a prominent farmer
and stockman of Audratn county,
was on the market Saturday
with two loads of sheep and while he
was i'm conversation with represen-
tative Of the st. Louis
Live Stock Reporter, said I'VE
are being worked almost to death
these days as the harvest is ON us
and we are not near through plowmg
yet. The corn Is very spotted and,
aiken as a whole, IS far from peing
even good moderate crop. There
Is lots OF little corn In the country

anything but to feed on the fodder
Flat prairie land is where the corr
