City, Missouri.
Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. l2-That
Missouri has maintained her record
as one of the prolific states OF the
union is clearly proven by an advance
bulletin which was made public to-
day by Austin w. Biggs. Commission
err of the Bureau OF Labor Statistics.
The bulletin reads as follows THE
states which border ON the Atlantic
ocean are Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginss, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
and Florida, and reference 10 the
Federal figures on corn production
will show that Missouri produced
more corn in 1910 than all the states
named, by about 80, OO0,0C bushels.
The total product Of Missouri for 1910
was 273, 800, 600 bushels. Missouri
produced 149 times as much corn as
is produced in all the states border
ing upon the Pacific ocean.
missouri produced 76,5SSN0 bu-
shells more than Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, being all the
Gulf States except Texas.
missouri produced more corn in
1910, than all the states which touch
the Canadian line from Maine to
Washington, with Ohio deducted.
That is to say, more than Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana,
Idaho and Washington.
missouri produces annually more
corn than Kansas, Oklahoma and Col
orado combined.
Missouri is exceeded i'm the pro-
duction of corn by only two states,
Illinois and Iowa, and it is safe to say
that when her swamp lands, which
exceed 100000 acres Of fine corn
land, are properly drained and pro-
ducing, Missouri will take her place
at the head of the column and keep it,
Wheat Production.
missouri produced Is. $50. 600 bu-
shells of wheat in 1910. This is more
than Iowa produced, and more than
twice as much as Kentucky produced
But as Missouri produces such va
riety of farm crops it could hardly be
expected that she would exceed her
sisters all along the line. For in
stance, Missouri produced Is, 1917
bales of cotton in 1910 being 1850
bales more than was produced in
Florida.

Rules for the State Spelling
Contest.

/. The State Spelling Contest will
be a. the time and place of the next
state convention of county Superin-
tendents, subject to the call of the
State Superintendent.
2. Each county shall be entitled to
one representative, and the cities one
representative for each 1900 school
children enrolled in the public schools
or major fraction thereof. In addition
to one representative from each and
every county; this will entitle the
cities to the following representation:
St. Louis 7; Kansas City 3; St. Joseph
1; Springfield /; Joplin /.
3. All pupils regularly enrolled in
the public schools from the first to
the eighth grades inclusive, or all
pupils below the high school, will be
eligible to enter the contest. Rural
graduates who have not entered high
school, but who are reviewing the
eighth grade or who have a majority
of their subjects in the eighth grade,
will also be eligible to enter the con-
test.
4. Representatives of the State
Spelling Contest shall be chosen by
means of an organized county spelling
contest, or city spelling contest. 1t
is recommended that elimination con-
tests be held in each and every school
in the county or city. That the three
best spoilers from each school meet
together and constitute a township
spelling contest. Or if it is preferred
the three best spoilers from each
school 60 direct to the county con-
test. 1t may not be practicable in
every county to have township con-
tests. It is further recommended
that the county contest be partly oral
spelling and partly written spelling.
This is simply recommendation, the
details of the county contest are left
to the individual superintendent to
work out. The committee is of the
opinion that the element of chance
can be eliminated largely by means of
the written spelling.
5. The Contest will be partly oral
and partly written. A list of words
will be pronounced to be spelled
orally, each student spelling the same
number of words. Another list will
pronounced to be written. The con-
testants will be graded so per cent on
oral spelling and so per cent on writ
ten spelling.
6. Each county superintendent,
and each city superintendent inter-
ested in the contest, are requested to
submit list of 100 words from which

A party returning from Fort Totten
to ChautauQua by motor boat Sunday
evening had an experience which they
will remember for some time. 1t was
late in the evening when the start was
made and a terrifically dense fog set
It'd over the lake. It was impossible,
afte short time, for, the seafaring
party to get their bearings. For two
houls the gasoline propelled craft
wandered over the lake, finishing a
hort distance from Fort Totten, from
where the start was made. The moon
later gave assistance in getting back
to Chauatauqua. d s.jl.

One farmer at one Of the fairs had
