Missouri Crop Report.

4, was issued today from the OF
flee of Y. c. Wilson, secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture:
Despite an unusual range Of
temperature and, over much of
the state, a deficiency in rain
fall, the reports from 600 Mis-
souri, farmers representing every
county in the state, are generally
more optimistic than a month
ago. At Columbia, the highest
temperature for the month of
June was 90 degrees ON the 18th;
tn lowest 43 on the 18th; mean
for month, 76. The total rain
fall for June, as recorded at Co
lumbia was 2.40 inches as com
pared with $50 in June, 1912.
This is a deficiency Of 1.9S inches
for the month. From June q
to % most all of Missouri receiv-
I'd showers which were remark
ably well distributed. Practically
all that part Of the state north
Of the Missouri river has had
sufficient rainfall, but south Of
the river, except in a few coun-
ties, the reverse is true. A big
general rain is needed through
out two-thirds of the state. Parts
Of Southeast Missouri are suf-
fering for rain. The same is
! true of a group of Ozark coun-
ties and parts of Bates, Cass
aid Vernon.
CORN-With the best job Of
cultivation that the Missouri far
mer has ever done, the condition
Of corn on July l was Sc. One
month ago it was ST; one year
ago, S5.6; ten-year average, 81.7.
by sections, corn condition is,
. Northeast, SO; Northwest, 90;
Central, IS; Southwest, 82;
Southeast, 80. Revised estimate
as to acreage shows 90 per cent
as compared with 10000 acres
last year. The stand is probably
the best in the history Of the
state. Soil condition is 80. The
estimated damage from dry
We ather is Is. With sufficient
r, infall from now this will be
fully offset by the superior stand
nd cultivation.
WHEAT-The wheat crop
never went into shock in better
shape. There was practically no
abandoned acreage, and no loss
from wind or storm, On July l,
ST per cent Of the crop had been
harvested. The condition of
standing wheat on July l is givel
at SO. The preliminary estimate
as to yield is 16.1 bushels per
acre, as compared with 12.4 bush.
els as preliminary estimate one
year ago. By sections, the es-
innate shows: Northeast, 1875
bushels; Northwest, 81; Central
152; Southwest, 14,3; Southeast.
1876. The 1912 crop was har-
vested from 2,170,000 acres. For
| the 1918 crop 2,O23,OOO acres wer
seeded and practically all this
harvested. Only 4.69 per cent
of the new crop is reported
= threshed, but both yield and
quality are better than antici-
. pated. The quality is placed
! at SO. The average local price
offered or now being paid fol
new wheat is 81 cents per buShel
OATS-In many parts of Mort
i. Missouri the Oat crop is good
, but taking the state as a whole
the condition of the crop is only
: 56.4. By sections it is: North.

It is estimated that 65 per cen
Of the state oat crop will be tai

ADVERTISE TO HOLD BUSINESS

A year o o ago National Biscuit Company spent $4,000 In one
year In advertising In New York City where they already had 90 per
cent OF the business. When asked the reason for expanding this big
sum in one place where they already had the business they said Il was
to hold their business.
The object Of advertising is not only to get business but to hold
business.

people the information they crave. Advertising is constantly creating

It is likewise folly for a merchant to be peeved over competition.
A mechant should get ahead and stay ahead Of competition by carrying
such a stock of goods adopting such advertising methods, etc, that will
place his store in the lead. Then competition will not bother him,
trade will com to him and old customers will stay by him.
