Increase in Corn.

From 1899 to 1909 there was an in- crease in corn of 4,S03 acres. or 10 per cent. Starting with 55.796 acres in 1879, it dropped to 40,445 in 1889, in creased to 47.914 in 1899. and again to 2,717 in 1909. Hence the acreage of corn in 1909 was less than that for the 30 years preeiding. The total yield in 1909 was 2,5S6, 542 bushels; the aver age yield per acre, 4s bushels; the average value per acre $3210.
 Crop Comparisons.
 The cereals had an aggregate acre age in 1909 of 74.083 acres, as compar- ed to 72,032 in 1899, an increase of D. 051 acres, or 2.8 per cent. Of the cereals, corn ranked first not only in acreage but also in value. Its acre age comprises more than two-thirds of the total, and its value more than so per cent. of the total value of the cereals. In acreage oats was equal to one-fifth that of corn and in value one-tenth. Rye stood third. Corn showed the highest average value per acr eamong the cereals; oats, the low est. The average value per acre of the cereals was s27.5O, about one and a half times that of hay and forage and one-tenth that of tobacco. Among the hay and forage crops, "other tame Or cultivated grasses ranked first in acreage and second in value, while timothy and clover mixed' stood first in value and second in acreage D Timothy alone was third in acre age and value. Tobacco, though rank ing fourth in acreage among all the crops here reported, stood second in total value, being equal to more than twice the combined value of all the cereals.

stepmother Of Mint JuIep,

Romance and poetry have delighted
to weave garlands with which to cele-
brate and perpetuate the glory of the
blue grass in old Kentucky. famed for
its fine horses, beautiful women and
mint.
Kentucky has been designated as
the home Of the mint julep, and its
colonies have become famous all over
the world for the easy and graceful
way In which they drink whisky with
a little dash Of sugar and sprig or
two of mint In order, chiefly to over
come the necessity for large amount
Of water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned.
It transpires, however, that the real
home of the mint and the mint julep
is right here in Missouri, whose crop
of mint last year amounted to 1858
pounds, or enough to make 1924 1920

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Number Of State Institutions Is
Double During the Past
Two Years.

Sixteen state sanatoria, % county
hospitals and 81 municipal hospitals
for tuberculosis have been erected
and provided for since January l.,
1909, says a recent bulletin of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention OF Tuberculosis.
Within the last two years the num-
Der of state institutions for tubercu-
losis has doubled, and the number Of
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about 80 to 80. The
expenditures of public money for the
treatment of tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less than
100000 of state money was appro-
priated for tuberculosis institutions
In 1909. when 43 legislatures met and
over 100000 in 1910, when only IL
legislatures were In session. The ap-
preparations of counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and sanitoria
in the last two years will aggregate
fully $2,500,000, bringing the total
of official appropriations for tubercu-
losis hospitals up to over 100000
In the past two years.
In spite, however, of this good show
ing, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
states that not one-tenth Of the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis that Is
needed has been made. More than
100000 tuberculosis patients are con-
Stantly without proper institutional
treatment.
