WORTH $75o,ooo, 900.
With a Crop Worth $1o4,517, $50, State
Has Third Place az a Corn
Producer.

Columbia, NO., Dec. 16.-The yaiu,
OF Missouri farm products and live
stock for the present year is esti
mated at more than y billion dollars
Of rhat sum almost 200 million dol
lars is represented in the ordinary
field crops alone, according to w. l.
Nelson, assistant secretary Of the
Missouri State Board of Agriculture.
The annual crop report just issued
shows that the Missouri corn crop for
1912 is approximately n million bush.
els 2243,6f27, 951. This exceeds the corn

average state farm price OF 43 cents
a bushel, is $104,517,35O. The average
yield for the 7,61O,9sS acres is 31.9
bushels an acre.

son.
The winter of 1911-12 was unfavor-
able for wheat in Missouri. In many
counties, especially in the northeast,
much wheat was winter killed, SO that
the acreage harvested was only about
rs per cent OF that seeded. The crop
for the present year, harvested from
1,70S,999 acres, totaled 21,546, 720
bushels, worth, at 80 to 90 cents a
bushel, $19,441,S69.
The state yield was 1876 bushels an
acre.
The present wheat acreage is
2,o23,330. That is only 1872 per cent
Of the original acreage seeded in the
TALL of 1911. but is considerably larger
than the acreage actually harvested
in 1912.

one that has caused considerable

not been the practice to provide

1t was found this year that owing to
the fact that our last state encamp-

the ordinary period and owing to the
fact that an officers school was held
at TT. Lincoln, thus causing additional
expense, 1t was at first felt by the
