Weather FavOrs Fruits.

Columbia, NO., March 5.-'The
weather we are having is favorable to
the fruit crop, instead of detrimental,
as many people Think" said j. C.
Written, professor of horticulture in
the University of Missouri, today.
"This late winter is holding the
trees dormant. In March last year
we had exceptionally warm weather,
and the buds of the trees came out,
only to be killed in the April cold.
This weather will keep the buds from
coming out too soon."
The chances for good fruit crops in
Missouri, excepting peaches, are ex-
cellent, he says.
The peach crop already is killed,
according to Mr.. Written. The abb
normally cold weather killed the buds
on the trees. The southwestern cor
ner and possibly few places over
the State may have escaped the cold.

Corn and Milo Maize last year and

fine.
You can raise most anything you
want here, but of course some crops
do better than others. Kaffir and
Milo Maize are the main feed crop,
however oats, wheat and millet do
fine. There is quite a lot of alfalfa
grown on the Draw Lands" and /
some very good fields on uplands.

acres in one field and about 1875 in
another. We have one section fenced
