ent crop is far enough advanced as to
be out of danger from drouth. There
is also much late corn, some of which
an early frost will surely injure. The
river bottoms have fine crop of corn
and most of it is made. Corn by sec

A revised estimate on the 1908 wheat
yield places it at 1877 bushels per acre,
or practically the same as the prelim-
mary report. Dry weather is interfer-
ing somewhat with blowing for the
new crop, which it is now estimated,
may represent an acreage of only 81
per cent as compared with the ground
seeded last fall. Forty per cent of
the ground for the new crop has been
plowed. In reply to the question as
to whether or not it is hard to get
good seen wheat, 40 per cent of those
replying answer "Yes," and 60 per
cent NO"
Oats.-A revised report on the oat
yield, places it at 34.S bushels per acre,
or practically the same as the nrst fig
ures. The quality of the crop, most of
which has been threshed, is given as
IS.
Other Crops.-The state yield of
rye is estimated at 1873 bushels per
acre; barley. 25.3 bushels, and flax, rs
bushels. The cotton crop, while late
is doing well, the present condition be-
ing SOL. The tobacco condition is
placed at 81. Pastures have been in
jured by lack Of rain in some sections
so that the condition for the state is
only 77.6.

The following crop report was is

Board of Agriculture:

cultivate Missouri soil no general

earlier seasons promise is to attain
full realization. The rainfall, while
generally sufficient and in but few
cases, excessive, has often been poor

widely in districts only few miles
apart. In the northeast section of the
state, for instance, some correspond
entS report an abundance of rain, while
others state that the ground is getting
very dry. The precipitation was very
light during August over almost the
entire northwest section of the state.
Pastures are poor, and some stock is
reported on feed. Reports from the
Central section are somewhat conflict
ing, some counties having had plenty
of rain, while others are suffering
from lack of moisture. S. w. Missouri

counties on the western border, re

section comes encouraging news OF
satisfactory conditions for almost all
growing crops, except over restricted
areas. The temperature record for
the month varied, according to reports
received from correspondents, from
4S to 102 degrees.

GAR LINE TO BE
 DOUBLE TRACKED

At cost of s15.000 the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company is double tracking the line on South Eff teenth street. The new work extends from the corner of Avenue c to a point about six or seven blocks south. When completed the work will permit the oper- ation of more cars on a faster schedule than is now maintained. When the double tracking Is completed the tracks on this line and the Avenue B loop will be doubled from Twentieth street to about Avenue I on the South Fifteenth street line.
 The work is progressing very rapidly and will be completed within a short time.
 George H. Harris, superintendent of the railway department of the company, said the work was in answer to growing traffic on that line, which comes from the rapid building up of the territory served by this line beyond Twelfth avenue, south.
 The territory adjoining Idlewlld and Glen Iris parks has been building at a rapid rate recently, which made car con ditions especially during the Peak load' hours, a very serious and carefully studied proposition.
 With the new work this line at least will be relieved very much of the present crowded condition.

 COMMITTEE TO MEET

The special committee appointed at the mass meeting to devise a perma- nent organization for the L. S. Handley memorial will hold meeting today with John w. Mcqueen, the chairman, presiding. This committee will make a report to the adjourned mass meeting which will be held tomorrow at the Chamber of Commerce. beginning at 8 o'clock.
 The committee will probably outline working organization to have charge of the actual subscriptions to the Hand . ley memorial.
 The shaft or memorial of whatever nature, is % be erected in the honor of Rev. Dr. Luman S. Handley, who died about two weeks ago and who was highly revered by a great follow ing of people here.
 The mass meeting to be held tomor- row afternoon will be largely attended as the interest in the proposed memor- ial has been rapidly increasing since the meeting was held at the Chamber of Commerce last week.
 Tho committee to outline the prelim- mary work is composed of some of the leading men here who were among the warm friends of Dr. Handley.

 "Dr. Handley's great influence for good was by no means confined to this | church. For 36 years he was a blessing 10 the whole community and we, who constitute the church he founded and nurtured for 20 years, feel that we should express our gratitude to other churches and to ministers In the city who manifested their interest in and l proffered their services to this congre- gation to the city authorities for the high mark of respect they showed our deceased pastor; to the City Sunday School association for the carrying out of beautiful memorial programme to the secular and religious press for gen erous treatment both in their editorial columns and in publishing so many tributes and testimonials to the charac. ter of our dead leader and we especi- ally convey our grateful thanks to those citizens who. through the execu- tive officers of the Chamber of Com- merce, have begun a movement to per- petuate the memory of Dr. Handley bs the building of a suitable monument to him.
 'Dr Handley had faithful and con- secrated wife by his side who gave eff. ficient aid to him in all his labors, and whose services to this church were only exceeded by his. She survives in great bereavement, and we offer to her such comfort as she may derive from our sincere love and sympathy. Our prayers are offered for her in this time of trial
 He is survived also by a family of six children. Happily he was spared to see all of these reared to maturity. The death of their godly parent is I great loss to them, but the heritage of his good name and exalted character is an asset of incalculable value.
