Cast to Coast Crop.

the year lSlU mas Deen one vi pIOS-
perity for Missouri farmers is shown
by the December crop report on
corn, wheat and oats.
This report, issued to-day by T.
&c, Wilson, secretary Of the Missouri
State Board Of Agriculture, shows J
that the States corn yield amounts
to 100000 carloads of 500 bushels
each, 10000 train loads, each train
containing twenty-five loaded cars.
These trains, if placed on a sin
gle track so that each engine would
touch the caboOse in front of it
would extend from the Atlantic to
the Pacific oceans, and in addition
fill side track as long as from St.
Louis to Kansas City.
1t is also a matter of pride for
MissourianS to know that this years
corn yield in only one-half the
counties in the State equals the
total corn crop of one-half the total
number of States and Territories in
the Union.
One Missouri county alone pro-
duCed more corn this year than did
eleven States and Territories COM
bined.
Corn Yield Shows Big Gain.
The report states, in part:
Missouri's total yield of corn for
the present year is placed at 252,-
472,100 bushels, the average yield
for the entire State being 1924 bush
els per acre, or five bushels more
than last year.
The ten-year average is 29.S
bushels per acre.
The 1910 corn acreage is placed
at 7,795,786, an acreage never ex-
Ceeded in the history of the State.
Two causes are largely response
bic for the large acreage Practi-
Cally no corn was lost by overflows
in the river bottoms, and a great
deal of wheat ground was plowed
I'D last spring and planted to corn.
An increase is shown per capita
from SO bushels in 1900 to 72.5
bushels in 1910.
The farm price of corn in Mis-
souri, this year is given as APT
cents, or 15.4 cents less than last
year.
AS a result of this lower price the
total estimated value Of this years
corn crop is only $1O7,919,354.
The quality of this years corn
crop is placed at 80 for the State
The leading county in the State,
in point Of yield per acre is St.
Charles, with 46 bushels. Other
leading counties: Marion, as; La
fayette and Platte, 81 each; Cole,
40; Christian and Greene, SO each;
Franklin AZ.
Saline is the leading corn coun-
ty of the State in total number of
bushels produced, its estimated
yield being 6,838,O92 bushels. 9th
er leading counties are Audrain,
4,645,728; Nodaway, 6,374754; Atch-
ison, 5,669,936; Saline, 6,838,O92
and Franklin, 1,882,530.
A comparison of the corn crops
for the years 1909 and 1910 shows
the following:

Wheat Acreage Shows Decrease
The wheat yield of Missouri for
the year 1910 is placed at 22,0O1,-
800 bushels. or an average of 1872
bushels per acre, as compared with
a total Weld of 27,502,879 bushels
and an average yield of 1853 BUSH
els last year.
At the average farm price Of ST.
cents per bushel, this years crop
represents a value of $19,170,143
compared with $29,608,414, the es-
timated value of last years crop,
the average farm price for wheat
being $1.O7 one year ago.
This years average wheat yield
per acre is one-half below the ten
year average, the decrease resulting
largely from the shortage in acre
age harvested, only 86.6 per cent,
or 1,666,810 acres of the 1,923,887
acres seeded in thefall of 1909
having been harvested
Much wheat was winter killed or
came through in such poor condi-
ton that is was not thought advis-
able to let it stand. The greatest
loss in this respect was in the CEN
trail section of the State.
The wheat yield by section was:
Northeast, IL; Northwest, 16; Cen
trail 10; Southwest, ID; Southeast ID.
The 1910 fall seeding of wheat is
placed at 1,981,016 acres, or 97.8
per cent, as compared with the
seeding one year ago, when the
ground seeded was "a per cent
greater than in 1908.
The present condition of the
wheat crop is only 1852 for the
State, there being considerable COM

LUCYS DEFECT.
BY Mary A. Gillette.

She is not blind,-she is not deaf
She's straight, and strong, and pretty,
We think her so we know her mind
Is clear, and quick, and witty.
And Lucy is a pleasant child;
Her grandmama says of her,
"In warp or wool you'll not trace
OF selhshness discover"
OF gifts and graces Lucy has
A goodly share conceded,
Yet something is amiss; her friends
All see how much It's needed
Grandpa allows she's true and good,
And owns he loves her dearly;
And were it not for this defect
He'd think her perfect,--nearly
With face or form, with head or heart
There isn't much the matter:
Bit Lucy's ever busy tongue
Will chatter, chatter, chatter
Her brother Bert, this very day,
With boys bluntness told her,
"My little sis, the thing you lack
Is just good toHgae-h0lder."

LOOK OUT FOR THE
 TYPHOID MENACE
CITY HEALTH OFFICER ON THE ALERT TO PREVENT SPREAD OF DISEASE

There is at this time a number of typhoid cases in this district, the majority of them are from the out laying parts of the district, but there are several cases that were developed within the city. The city health officer, Dr. Williams is making an investigation of this situation and like nearly all of the other physicians practicing in Bishee, is of the opin- ion that much of the typhoid is caused by infection due to house flies which carry the fever germs into the house and deposit them on food.
 At the last meeting of the coun- cil the health officer was instructed to make a test of the wells that are near cess pools within the city limits. Dr. Williams stated that this test is made to show whether mat ter from the cess pools gets into the wells. The test is made by pouring a certain solution into the cess pools and then testing the water in the nearby wells. If any trace Of the solution is found in the water it proves the connection be- tween we'll and cess pool
 Where it is found that the well water is being contaminated by the cess pool fifth the wells will be ordered closed.
 Dr. Williams will investigate the truck gardens that are alleged to be irrigated by the water discharged from the Bisbee sewer, and if he finds that conditions are as has been reported he will issue
 stopping the sale within the city of the truck from these gardens. It was reported that lettuce, radishes and other garden truck that is eaten without cooking is grown by the aid of the sewer water, which If true makes those vegetables lia- ble to be carriers of infectious dis eases besides being filthy.
