blowing and as a result wheat
sowing is later than usual. But
40 per cent of the crop has been
seeded, and there is yet some
ground to break. Recent rains
have been a great benefit and
work is now progressing nicely.
Soil condition is placed at So.
The wheat acreage will be much
below the state average. 1t is
now estimated at but sc per
cent as compared with 2,170,243
acres seeded in the fall of 1911.
OTHER CROPS-The timothy
acreage threshed compared with
last year is given as 155 per
cent, with an average yield Of
about 4 bushels per acre. A
few fields are reported to have
made as much as 10 bushels per
acre. The average farm price
at which seed is now selling is
reported as 1921 per bushel with
some selling at $3.50 to $1.75.
Many are holding for higher
prices. Pastures have been
hurt by lack of rainfall in parts
of the state, but since recent
rains should improve unless held
back by continued cold. Present
condition Of pastures is 70; to-
bacco, 80; cotton, CT. Conditions
have not been favorable for cot
ton. There is also considerable
complaint to the effect that
cowpeas have not done well.
However, summing up the crop
situation as a whole, the harvest
promises a plenty, so that Mis-
sori farmers have great cause
for rejoicing.

MCKINLEY VOTED AGAINST
ANTITRUST LAW.

John G. Mckinley, the Repub-
lican nominee for Governor, was
the only member of the Missouri
State Senate who voted against
the antitrust law passed by that
body in 1903. (See Senate
Journal 1902, page ESQ.,
The bill was a substitute for
Senate Bill 1873, and was entitled
can Act to prevent conspiracies,
or the creation of monopOlies for
the purpose of keeping up the
prices of coal, ice, food products,
lighting or fuel oil, or other ne
cessaries of life, or creating ar
tificial scarcity of such articles
This bill passed the Senate
by the following vote: Ayes %,
Nay l, absent 5. On that bill
Mckinley was the only member
of the Senate who voted Nay.
Every other Republican in the
State Senate, and every Demo
crat, present ON that day, voted
for this bill. Mckinley alone
stood forth against it. And now
he asks the people of Missouri
to elect him Governor Of this
State! In heavens name, Why ?

Who Is Getting The Money
of The Trusts?

So sure has been Wilson's stand, so well known his incoT-
Euptible purpose. that no private interests have dared to
approach either our candidate or his committee.
We have not been offered a penny by the trusts. and
we certainly have not solicited a penny from them. The
money OF the Interests is being spent against Wilson. No
matter for whom-we need not discuss that here-it is now
common gossip that the money power Of the nation Is being
used In an attempt TO defeat Woodrow Wilson.

Missouri Crop Report.

The following report showing
Missouri crop conditions for the
month of September was issued
today from the office Of 7. G.
Wilson, secretary of the Mis-
souri, State Board of Agriculture I;
The weather during the first
half Of the month was warm, a
maximum temperature of SO de-
grees being recorded at Colum-
bia on September s. In con-
trast with this is the cool wealth
er that has prevailed during the
latter part Of the month. A few
correspondents report traces OF
frost on the morning of the 10Th.
On the 26th there was frost
throughout almost the entire
state. On that date a minimum
temperature of SO degrees was
reached at Columbia. In the
northwest part of the state the
temperature at that time was
from % to 81; in the northeast
from 80 to Sc, and in the southern
half of the state from 81 to 40.
Rainfall, to date, has totaled
1854 inches for the month. Farm
conditions, as a whole, have been
favorable.
C0RN-The condition Of
corn, for the state, is practically
the same as one month ago, be-
ing S6.4. One month ago it
was S6.8. The five-year aver
age Cor end of September is
I77.1. This is the highest since
1906. By sections, present corn
condition shows: Northeast, 95.
northwest, 90; central, 81; south
west, 70; southeast, 81. The
quality of the new crop is much

wet blanket which Hadley threw
over the Republican campaign
opening.
Governor Hadley is against
the Democratic State ticket, but
lie has never been able to give
avery good reason.
Taft's recent promise of Tar
'ff revision downward will be
construed in the light of a sim
liar promise made by him four
years ago.
Under the administration of
Cornelius Roach the revenues in
the Secretary of States office
have increased forty per cent.
That's the kind of administra-
tion that means something to
the taxpayer.
Missouri farmers will not for
get that Attorney-Genera Ma
jor's victory for the "full weight
statute" in the United States
Supreme Court, saved Missouri
grain producers $500, 100000 per
year.
Wooden blankets bear a tariff
tax of from 104.55 per cent to
165.42 per cent. Those who
think of this in November may
not be forced to remember it in
January.
The average tariff tax on cot
ton shirts and collars last year
was 61.44 per cent. The American
consumer must do one Of two
things. He will have to go to
wearing silk shirts, or else take
to voting the Democratic ticket.
Under the Payne-Aldrich tar
iff, the cheaper the quality of
clothing you wear, the higher
the tariff tax you must pay. This
of course, upon the theory that
people who can't afford fine
clothes shouldn't wear any at all.
The tariff tax paid by the
consumers of cotton goods in
this country in 1910 amounted to
$210,000,0 900, or an average Of
$3.50 for each of the twenty
two million families in Amefica.
And Senator Lippitt's trust got
the money.
The Underwood cotton bill
so reduced the cotton schedule
as to s9Se the consumer of cot.
ton goods $88, OOO, 100000. But
