Missouri Fruit Crop Report.

The State Board of Horticulture is
in receipt Of special reports from
practically every county in the state,
and from these advices the following
summary of conditions regarding the
fruit crop up to May 10, is compiled.
APPLES-On the whole, there
promises to be a good crop Of this
fruit throughout the entire state. In
ii the parts Of the state where orchards
bore heavily last season, there was
not heavy bloom this year. Also,
there is universal complaint of a light
bloom with the Ben Davis type, and
now and then a few other varieties.
Jonathan promises especially well al
most everywhere. Reports seem to
show the best yield in the northeast
counties. In the southwest the crop
is we'll distributed although not par
ticularly heavy. 1t is believed there
is enough bloom everywhere to in
sure as much fruit as the trees should
be permitted to bear. Prospects now
are for the largest crop in years.
PEACHES-The best prospect for

peach, is in the northeast counties,

 It is feared the bag has been caught in the violent storm, which has swept above the lake region dur ing the last two days and has been carried down into one of the large bodies of water.
 All of the other balloons that left have landed All of them encoun- tered the storm and several had mar row escapes from injury.

 Another reason for the belief that the Berlin II is in the lake regions is that the Condor, the French bal loon which landed last night near Mingo Iowa, reported today that they had been carried out over Lake Michigan and then driven back to land Neither of the balloonists can speak more than a few words of English which may add 10 Their diff faculties should they land in remote district.

The stage for the Sixth An nual Arkansas State Fair is set.
 Thousands of multicolored in- candescent lights last night started the heralding of the ad- vent of this big autumnal period of rivalry in the presentation of the products of Arkansas 1; today more thousands of multi coloured flags floating in the first cool breezes of autumn will carry the story and by the an
 nounced hour of opening the gates tomorrow morning the throng that wends it's way out to the beautiful Oaklawn course will have gathered the enthusk astic spirit of the occasion suffi-
 cient to make the season all that it is and should be.
 Last night the details were finished. The work that had been in progress for months was through. The agricultural and horticultural exhibits were in place, and they far surpass like exhibits of other years. The live stock department, though will be the particular pride of this fall display, for there are crowded departments every where of stock of every useful ness sufficient to point to Ark ansas particularly as promising in the stock raising business.
 The racing features, harness horses from all the big scenes of other turf victories; running horses trained to the minute and ready to rattle their hoof beats at the drop of the flag; auto racing where giants of the mechanical speed world will be put to highest test by trained daredevils of the wheel, all offer plenty of the spectacular in these classes.
 The other entertainment fea lures, too, have much to offer. The big Pioneer Days" which l is heralded as one of the big fire works achievements of the age, and others of it's class will | be offered before the grand stand; while the Curve" or Midway of former fairs will be outrivaled by the galaxy of low priced attractions which will have their doors open and their ballyhoos busy Monday morning.

nine o'clock at night, when the gorgeous spectacle of Pioneer Days will begin.
 The scene in Pioneer Days in Arkansas" shows settle ment in pioneer days, protected by a stockade and a military fort. The action of the spec tacle consists of the going away of the soldier garrison for the purpose of settling some Indian uprising. Renegade Indians discover the absence of the soldiers from the fort, and an lattack is made just as an emi- grant train is preparing to set tie down for the night.
 The Indians are at first re pulsed by the settlers who live at the settlement, and the send a courier to notify the command CT of the garrison that an attack has been made and that another is threatened. In the meantime the Indians are reinforced, and after holding a War dance they again attack the fort. They have nearly completed the dis truction of the settlement when the soldiers arrive and after a terrific battle they are killed, captured or scattered.
 There will be two hundred and fifty men and horses taking part in this grand spectacle, and it is perhaps the most stipend ous attempt ever made in this state to produce a gigantic en tertainment of this character on the scale which will be carried out Monday night.
 After the spectacle is finish ed, there will be a grand pyro- technic display of all conceiv- able fire works productions, which will conclude the day. entertainment. "Pioneer Days" will be staged by c. H. Duffield,  of Chicago, who has spent many years in producing these gorge ous fire works spectacles all over the United States. There will be one thousand rounds of ammunition fired every night, together with fifty pounds of dynamite and rapid fire guns, which will give thrilling character te the magnificient production.
 The State Fair will open Monday morning with the grand pageant and DeSoto parade which will take place at the race track at 11:30 o'clock. Several hundred riders and horses will participate. Also there will be two hundred deco rated automobiles in this page ant. The most beautifully deco rated automobile will receive cash prize of $100, while another $100 will be distributed in four separate secondary prizes.
 The amusement program of the Sixth Annual State Fair will be on the grandest scale ever attempted here and the crowd will be entertained every moment of the day all the week from Monday morning to Satur- day night.
 The executive committee ot tthe State Fair have announced that every person who will fur nish a horse to be used in the lDeSoto parade will receive free a ticket entitling them to admis sion to the Fair grounds every day during the week of the State Fair. All riders will re
 port at the skating rink opposite

ling week is lavish with enter .tainment. Perhaps half the ex- Ipense of conducting the big ex- position will go to defraying the cost of amusing the enormous crowds which are expected to attend the Industrial Exhibition.
 In point of costliness Pioneer Days" the great fire works spectacle leads. Five thousand dollars is the maximum amount which this superb pyrotechnic display may cost the Fair Assoc iation. The exact cost will hard ly be less than $4,200 when the complex contract required by the producers is finally figured out. Never before at any state fair held here has there been such an enormous amount of cash appropriated to single feature on the entertainment program.
 The magnitude of the Midway shows is evident from this single bit of information. When the great Workman and Allen United Shows contracted to come to the Arkansas State Fair "a healthy cash guarantee was asked for and given; and had to be paid by the Association be- fore these shows started on their journey to Hot Springs. Only a superior aggregation of performers could demand such q concession from a State Fair. No further representation is needed to ensure to the visitors Iof the State Fair that the amuse- ment program will be unsur
 passed by any previous effort lof the association.
 Another attractive feature of lthe entertainment program will
 be the night horse show. The famous White Cloud" owned
 by Ed Spear of this city has 2 vaudeville experience of three l years, and is said to be a marve lof intelligence in high schoo performances. Hot Springs has
 always loved good horse flesh
 and the accumulated excellence
 of equine perfection will natu
 rally be highly appreciated by lthe visitors at the Fair.
