dition is by no means local.
According to the government esti-
mates the corn crop is going to be
q bumper one. The estimate based
on conditions August 1st is for an
aggregate crop of 2,940, 100000 bushels
with fair prospect that it will reach
more than 100000 600 providing
weather conditions are favorable
throughout the remainder Of the sea
son.
At any rate the estimate as of Au-
gust LIST indicates record yield, 49,
00D,G00 bushels greater than the bump
er crop OF 1906. While it is admitted
that conditions, in certain sections,
are not SO favorable as might be
wished it must be remembered that
an unusually large acreage was plant
ed to corn this year, 50 that the total
yield is likely to go beyond even our
most sanSuine expectations.
1t Is we'll enough to remember. also.
in connection with this prospect for
d bumper crop, that the price of corn
Is likely to remain high. While it is
true that We are increasing our pro-
duction OF corn moderate rate it is
also true that our consumption thereof
IS increasing more rapidly. There will,
Therefore, be strong demand for ev-
cry bushel that can be produced and
the price may be expected to be cor:
respondingly high. This ought to
mean period Of good times and pros
pcrity throughout the corn belt. With
the prosperity of the farmer comes
prosperity of the entire community
IN which he lives, so that the merchant
and artisan in this section are con
ironted with a pleasing prospect at
this particular time.
From a local standpoint the pros
! pect IS one of great announcement
There was never before such an oppor
| tunity for exploiting Boone county as
Is now open to her. She not only
has the product, but the splendid or
portunity for displaying it is brough,
! to her very doors by the Show You
! Congress at Moberly September . Ii

at LAT congress if Nose w.o own her

VIII go to the trouble and make corn

extent.
The wheat used in the mill is all
raised on the farms surrounding Ash
land. Indeed the soil is SO fertile
that there is always surplus left over
after the mill has secured enough to
supply their needs. This gives the
mill owners an opportunity to select
their wheat and only the best of the
crop finds its way into the granary
OF the Ashland Roller Mills.
Besides the X-Ray which Is the Pat
ent and leading brand of flour the
company also makes Royal and Favor
fte -four both well known brands Of
Boone County. Corn meal and other
mill products are also manufactured.
The output OF the mill is sold to
Ashland grocers and to dealers in a
number of the small towns surround
ing Ashland. The quality is so good
that the company has no trouble dis
posing Of all they can make and 1t is
doubtful if their capacity was doubled
if they would be able to supply the
demand.
The North Missouri Central Electric
Railroad has surveyed its line and Sc
cured right of way through Ashland.
Ties for the road are now being de-
lyered at Ashland and prospects are
bright that the road will be built next
summer.
In preparation for this event which
will give him much needed tranSpor-
tation facilities Mr.. Rice is now max
ing arrangements for extensive i'm
provements on his plant this winter
The mill will either be torn down and
a new one built or the present one
will be remOdeled and its capacity
enlarged to seventy-five or one hun
dred barrels per day. An elevator
holding not less than forty thousand
bushels of grain will be built. These
improvements will be made whether
the Electric road is built or not for
there is ready market for the prod
uct Of mill twice the size OF the
present one.
