CROP OUTLOOK Is CHEERING

The crop outlook over the state is
more cheering than it has been in the
past six weeks. Bountiful rains over
most Of Missouri have saved the corn
and the truck stuff The wheat crop
is better than il first seemed, and
the harvesting has proceeded speed
lily. The dry weather permitted the
steady blowing Of corn, thus giving
the wheat the right of way later. The
oats crop, like some of the hay crop,
disappoints.
