STATE BOOK STILL IN DEMAND
Mfssouri's autobiography" Published
in 1904, Wanted by Many.

MlSSOurPS AUTOBIOGRAPHY" Published
in 1904, Wanted by Many.
A book that is given free to those
who ask for it is seldom in demand
long after its first appearance. This,
however, has not been true in the
case of the book called "The State of
Missouri. There has been a steady
demand for copies Of it ever since it
was published in 1904 The last two
years 1t has been going out to all
parts of the country at the rate of
about forty copies a month. During
conventions such as Editors Week
and other meetings the demand
reaches as high as fifty a week.
"The State of Missouri" is an auto
biography" Of Missouri, written by va
rious authorities on the history, pro-
ducts and accomplishments of the
State. 1t was edited by Walter Will
liams. One hundred thousand copies
were published at cost to the State
of about $4,000, for distribution dur
ing the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton at st. Louis In 1904. After the
exposition the remaining copies were
brought here to the University and
placed in the State Historical Library
to be given out to anyone upon de-
mand.
The cuts are still being used by
newspapers and magazines. They are
stored here and may be had to use
by any publisher upon payment of
transportation charges. The State
has been able to save money by this
arrangement in getting out its reports
of the Bureau of Labor. state and
county histories and the like.

SEED CORN GATHERING WEEK.
Governor Issues Proclamation to Mis-
souri, Farmers,

L
souri, Farmers.
T. C. Wilson, secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture. has just re-
ceived a copy of the Corn Proclama-
ton, issued by Governor Herbert S.
Hadley.
The first part of the proclamation
is taken up by statement that the
corn crop of Missouri for 1912 was one
of the largest, if not the largest. ever
harvested in the State. and that his
result had been contributed to effec-
lively by greater care in the selection
of seed corn, the more scientific cult
walton of the soil and the rotation of
crops. The rest of the proclamation
reads:
II have decided, at the request of a
number of those interested in agricul-
tural development of the state. to
designate the week beginning Monday,
October 81, and ending Saturday, Oc-
tober 26, as Seed Corn Gathering
Week, and | ask that those engaged
in farming and all those who have an
interest in the agricultural greatness
and development of the state observe
this week by selecting the best ears
of corn from the best stalks. in order
that they may be carefully dried be-
fore freezing weather and preserved
the winter for use as seed
corn next year."
