Practically all of the corn in Mis-
souri, that was planted before the re-
cent cold weather has been destroy
ed, is the opinion of w. l.. Nelson,
assistant secretary of the state board
of agriculture. Mr.. Nelson believes
that at least 25 per cent of the
corn acreage of Missouri has been
planted. The success of the new
crop which must be planted depends
upon the ability of the farmers to
get good seed corn The germina-
tion of all seed corn this year is
poor. Since the best seed was plant
ed for the first crop, dit dis a prob
lem now for the farmers to obtain
good seed to replant their fields.
The oats and wheat are not
thought to have been hurt by the

business houses, and damaged sew

house, the clothing store of Rags
dale, Holmes & Co., the grocery
house of D. R. Sans C Son, and the
dry goods store of C. w. Adams
