Missouri Fruit Crop
Report,

The State Board OF Horticulture ia in
receipt Of special reports from practi-
cally every county IN the state, and
from these advices the following sum
mary of conditions regarding the irpit
crop up to May 10th, is compiled.
APPLES, On the whole there prom
ises to be a good crop Of this fruit
throughout the entire state. In the
parts OF the state where orchards bore
heavily last season there was not a
heavy bloom this year. Also, there is
universal complaint Of light bloom
with the Ben Davis type, and now and
then a few other varieties. Jonathan
promises especially well almost every
where. Reports seem to show the best
yield in the northeast counties. In the
southwest the crop is we'll distributed
although not particularly heavy, 1t is
believed there is enough bloom every
WASAC w AhbAIC hh mACu AAulb 40 buS
trees should be permitted to bear. Pros
poets now are for the largest crop in
years.
PEACHES. The best prospect for Ell
berta, the leading commercial peach, is
in the northeast counties, but there are
no large orchards there. This variety
was frozen out in the northwest part OF
the state during the winter. In the
eastern counsies peaches will be scarce
except few very hardy varieties which
escaped injury in March and May. In
the central counties the peach crop will
be irregular. In three Of the counties a
fair crop Of Elberta Is reported. but for
most part the yield will be from seed
lings and few other hardy sorts, In
the southwest but few ElbeTtas are left
In .he south central counties, where the
large peach orchards are located, there
will be light crop of Elbertas prob
ably not more than ten per cent. The
damage was done there by the freeze in
March.
STRAwBERRIEs-From every part Of
the state the reports say there will be
from 70 to 100 per cent Of q crop Of
strawberries. The cold Of May list nip
ped some of the earlier sorts but did not
affect the general yield very much, but
the season will be few days later than
usual.
CHERRIEspromis unusually Rell all
over The state.
PEARS seem TO have suffered greatly
from the last cold wave as this fruit Is
reported short from nearly all sections.
However, there are many isolated esti.
mates Of 30 per cent crop.
snALI FRUITS other than strawberries,
including blackberries, raspberriss,
eooseberries, currants and grapes, on
the whole promise well. A good many
correspondents report scarcity Of rasp-
berries and thers was some little damage
done 70 grapes BY the May let freeze
On the average grapes will make one
hall Of taIl crop Al sfsr ne stssa.

The Burke Hobbs evangelistc
meetings will begin in Dexter on
Wednesday evening, May 31st.

verted. From there they went to

Last September little girl five
years old, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry F. Hawkins of Point
Pleasant, fell down ar open ele-
vator shaft at the Maryland hotel
in st. Louie, and now the parents
have filed a suit against the oom.
pany for $4,000 damages.
The oldest man in Missouri is
said to live at Sedalia-110 years
old. This is still seven years short
of the longevity mark set by"Irish
Bill" who died in Stoddard coun-
ty Il few years ago. Strange what
influence this Stoddard county
climate has on the years of man.
Dexter Messenger.
Almost the entire police force
was discharged at Moberly when
W. Cave and Albert Fleming
were sworn in for Mayor and

During his candidacy Fleming

tanned.
Willie Taylor, aged II, Arthur
Hudgins, aged IA, son of James
Hudgins, and two other boys,
were out hunting last Sunday
morning, three miles below Mat
thews, Young Taylor, carrying
