Missouri Crop Report.

MASSOuIl NIOp NcpOICs
The following report, showing Mis-
souri, crop condition at the close of
September, was issued from the office
of T. C. Wilson, secretary of the Mis-
souri, State Board Of Agriculture:
CORN-The condition of corn now
is at the time Of cutting is "a. One
month ago it was II; one year ago,
1873. Quality is placed at 70, but
with continued rainfall it will be much
less. From every section Of the state
come complaints of corn spelling in
the shock and much wormy, defective
corn. Many ears are chaffy, with
grains loose on cob. Several coun-
ties report some corn for shipment,
but on the other hand a few counties
will be short. The part of the corn
crop safe from frost is placed at 81
per cent, as compared with 70 one
year ago. Fifty-two per cent of the
crop has been cut for fodder or placed
in silos. Taking the state as whole,
the price per shock paid hands who
boarded themselves has been so
cents; where hands were furnished
board, IT cents OF 1888 correspond
ents who answered the question as to
whether or not it has been hard to
get hands to cut corn POI replied in
the affirmative. Reports from Jas
farms, representing more than 100
counties in the state, show 9.4 per
cent of the farmers using corn har-
vesters for the first time this year.
Some of these are binders, others
sleds, etc. Reports from 2,l50 farms,
representing ITO counties of the state,
show Sc per cent of the farmers
using silos for the first time this year.
Should these figures hold true for the
entire state they indicate wonderful
increase.
VIII EAT.-Too much rain has
greatly interfered with wheat sowing,
yet so per cent of the ground has
been seeded. Soil conditions is SO.
Acreage as compared with last year
is placed at 1854 per cent, but these
figures are not final. Complaint comes
from "a few counties of fall army
worms working on wheat and other
vegetation.
OTHER ROPS.-Acreage of tim
othy seed thrashed as compared with
last year is 45.4;3 yield, "a bushels;
clover, Ala; yield, IL bushels. Later
reports may change these figures
somewhat. Condition Of cotton, which
has been injured by wet weather, is
81; tobacco, rs; pastures, which have
greatly improved, 80.
TURKEYS.-The Missouri turkey
crop is reported as only 80 as COM
pared with an average year.

corn and clover convention.
Il cannot recommend or indorse
Professor Holden too highly" says
Supt. Selvig. "lf you people in charge

Professor Holden is a corn enthu-
siast and more than that he is the
best man l have ever seen to make

one man or influence. He knows
corn inside and out. He knows II
from the practical side and from the
theoretical side and he can talk it
Furthermore he is a good talker be-

called to the witness stand. A few
days ago, according to a story given
out by States Attorney Skulason.
Sperry made a confession wherein
all the circumstances connected with
the tragedy are related. The prosecu-
ton expected to have Sperry repeat
his story to the court, but his nara
tive was evidently not given credence
and he was not called upon to testify
The boys father testified as to the
dying words of his son that he had
been assailed by two unknown men.

Of death. This was the only testi-
mony introduced and Summerfeld

ing been introduced connecting him

TO TRY FOR PARDON
Friends of Dan Maloney Working fol
His Release.

Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 1T is
stated on competent authority that
friends Of Dan Maloney, now serving
term in the state penitentiary for
the murder Of Nick Noxheim, will
bring the matter Of q pardon before
the pardon board In the near future.
The Noxheim case aroused an intense
interest through this section of the
state and the gruesome details Of the
finding Of the severed head and trunk
Of Noxheim were the material for
many newspaper stories several years
ago.
Maloney was convicted on circum-
stantial evidence and developments
since that time have made a favorable
impression on many familiar with the
details of the trial. Particulars are
not obtainable at present as to the
steps being taken for pardon but 1t
is probable that something definite
will be done in the near future.

QUERIES many and VARIED
Secretary Bachelor Besieged Will
Questions and Requests of
Peculiar Nature.

OF the different attractions in the
city next week the poultry show
comes in for its share Of attention.
Secretary Bachelor Of the state fair
association is besieged with questions
of various sorts, some Of which he
is inclined to regard as Irrelevant
and immaterial," but he Is neverthe-
less giving all inquiries prompt,
cheerful and careful attention.
A Pembina county woman in let
ter to Mr.. Bachelor expresses de-
sire to exhibit half dozen biddies
that have occupied seat Of honor on
the clothes rack in front of the ktch-
nights. Owing to the luxurious hab-
its Of her flock she wants to know If
the exhibit hall is steam heated, cleo
trio lighted and provided with other
modern conveniences and comforts.
A bachelor from the western part
of the state writes that he has a
three-legged hen that he should like
to present to the gaze Of the multi
tudes and wants to know the condi-
lions Of entry. Bach" explained
that the show was not exactly intend
ed as dime museum, but If he would
Drlng MS tnree-legged monStros1ty
he would see that it received all due
consideration and respect.
A Valley City gentleman, evidently
Of sporting proclivities, wants to
know, strictly on the Q. T.. If ar
rangements would be made for taking
q few Of the "gamey ones'' out for a
little scratching bee somewhere in
the suburbs OF the city. The Times
representative considerably refrain
ed from asking for a carbon copy Of
Mr.. Bachelors reply to this query.
Suface it to say, however. that the
poultry show is receiving attention
about the state and the number of
reservations made with Secretary
Werstlein, who has charge of the
show, would indicate that 1t will be
one Of the most extensive ever held
In the northwest.
