ly and they are going to build a new

make it modern in every respect.
This district has very small assessed
valuation but a large enumeration due
to the mining population.
A few of our district clerks seem
to have gotten a wrong idea about
the enumeration list this year as they
have not sent them in. The county,
township and railroad and telegraph
money is distributed as usual on this
enumeration. am sure that this is
the only reason they have not sent in
yet. Our clerks get some blame too
that might be placed on some one
else. This is the month to make out
the June statement to the County
Clerk and hope every clerk in the
county will be on time.
The district clerks meeting for July
18th promises to be good one and
many clerks are getting ready now
for that meeting. Some are going to
take part on the program and others
will have questions to ask. They are
all interested in having some OF the
things in the blanks explained so they
may understand better how how they
should be filled out.

mer school and the board that has

east, 81. One year ago condition for
state was IS; two years ago, SO; ten

fourth of the crop, "a per cent, has
been plowed up, and more would

it. The peach crop is practically a

Commission Planned to Promote Farm
Cooperative Credit Organizations.
Washington, D. c., June Coon
gress, as we'll as the State Depart
ment, is seeking to aid farmers to
obtain loans at low rate Of interest
with their crops as security.
Senator Gronna drafted joint res
olution, which the Senate has passed,
to appoint commission to investigate
European cooperative credit organ
izations, which have been boon to
continental farmers. 1t is now be-
fore the House Committee on Agri-
culture, and a determined effort is
being made to obtain its passage.
A hearing has just been held before
the committee and representatives
of farmers organizations throughout
the country gave their testimony,
urging that the commission be ap-
pointed so that through their report
to Congress complete information
could be laid before the men engaged
in agriculture in this country.
Under the terms of the resolution,
the president is authorized to appoint
commission of three members, not
more than two Of whom are to be of
one political party, Ito investigate the
operations of cooperative land mort
gage banks and of cooperative rural
credit unions in other countries. F"
Their compensation is fixed at $5,-
600 each. The sum of SIS, 900 is ap-
propriated to provide the necessary
clerical force. The resolution also
provides that the commission "shall
not later than one year after appoint
ment submit a report to Congress,
embodying therein recommendations
as to how the systems OF such land
mortgage banks and rural credit un-
ions may be best adapted to the needs
and the requirements of the people of
the United States
J. The life of the commission expires
with the filling of its report.

Anti.Single Taxer in Town.

VIM. G. Dillon, of Bates county,
spent Monday in Warrensburg. His
daughter accompanied him and has
entered the summer school at the
Normal Mr.. Dillon is owner of
about 400 acres of fine land in the
vicinity of Adrian, and is one of the
most progressive men in Bates coun-
tv. He and the editor of the I'D.
We're college mates years ago and
Dillon's appearance in the I'D. Of
flee Monday was signal for some
old-time talks.
Mr.. Dillon is an organizer of the
Central Protective Association, an Or
ganization of land owners which orig
mated in Bates county to fight the
single tax movement all over the
country which tends toward the land
tax idea. He states that he has no
objection to the single tax scheme in
municipalities, if the city people want
it, but he is violently opposed to SUBJ
hitting his property to the tender
mercies of any single tax propaganda.
He says the single tax theory has
never been tested anywhere on earth
except in a few cities, and nobody
knows exactly how it would work as
applied to whole state. All lines of
human reason, however, clearly indi-
cate that it would throw an unjust
burden on rural real estate, to the
benefit of nobody except the rich
men whose wealth is in something
other than land.
Dillon stated that SO far as he can
learn, it is extremely doubtful if the
propaganda will be able to get five
per cent. of the people of this Sixth
congressional district to sign the I'M
tiative petition. If they fail in one
single congressional district, the pro-
posed amendment can not be submit
ted. 1t therefore behooves the oppo-
nents of the single tax to get busy and
prevent the success of the petition in
the various counties, if they wish to
avoid a fight at the polls in Novem-
ber.-Warrensburg Journal-Demo-

Missouri Crop Report.

Columbia, NO., June 1, 1912.-The
following report showing Missouri
crop conditions was issued today from
the office of T. C. Wilson, secretary
of the State Board of Agriculture:
The Missouri crop report is issued
to acquaint the public with the facts
just as far as it is possible to get
them, rather than to paint rose-hued
pictures for advertising purposes.
The first aim is to tell the truth and
to tell it in such a manner that it may
be understood. This policy has not
and will not be departed from. To do
so would destroy the value of these
reports. Furthermore, the truth
about Missouri is alwaysgood enough.
The end Of the month of May finds
Missouri farmers much more optimis-
tic than month ago. Splendid prog
ress has been made with farm work.
The weather during the month of
May was cool enough to allow men
and teams to 90 the limit, which they
seem to have done judging from the
progress reported. One week of cool
weather checked corn somewhat but
in some sections apparently aided
wheat slightly. Previous to the rains
of the oath to 9th there was a little
complaint of lack of moisture over a
part of the state, especially in few
counties in the Southwest section,
while too much moisture retarded
work in some of the lowland counties
of the Southeast. Taken as a whole,
however, weather conditions for the
month were above the averge. Rain
fall during the month of May, at Col
umbia, was 1925 inches. May, 1911,
showed 1.27 inches.
CORN-The per cent of corn plant.
ed is placed at 81, while one month
ago it was but 3.5. By sections
planting shows: Northeast, 81; North.
west, SO; Central, "a; Southwest, 50;
Southeast, II. Part planted June 1,
1911, was 91.6; 1910, sos; ten-yeal
average, "a. Stand is estimated a,
81, varying but slightly in the several
| cacfions Stand last wear was ~.
1910, 71.5. Necessary replanting this
year is attributed to poor seed and tc
hard rain following planting. With
good seed harder to secure than ever
before, the reasonably good stand ol
corn proves the value Of the ''tes'
your seed corn" campaign. Many
farmers planted 2-year-old seed witt
good results. There is some com

Miss Anna Twombly has been elect

Miss Twombly holds rural certificate
from Warrensburg Normal. This is
the first certificate of this kind ever
used in this county. But two have
been granted to Bates county teach

Miss Florence Page of Mingo town

rural school work and is good any

ten these certificates mixed with

are quitting the work to attend school
during the year and a few are quit

not had any applicants but there need
be no uneasiness on the part of boards
as we will find teachers after matters
settle down a little better. Many
