STATE CORN YIELD IS
LARGER THAN LAST YEAR
State CROP Report Shows it VIII Pass
1914 Result by Fully Fifty Mil
lion Bushels.

The Missouri corn crcp for 1915
promises to surpass that Of 1914 by
fifty million bushels. This cheerful:
statement is from the October crop
report issued recently from the
Office Of the secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture. The report in
full follows:
Corn has made a substantial ad-
vance in condition since our last re-
port. On September l the condition
was 754. It is now given as S4-a
gain of more than 8 points. One year
ago corn condition was 65. Present
condition, by crop division sections, is
reported as follows: Northeast, 70;
Northwest, S4; Central, 80; South
west, SO; Southeast, s5. Quality Of
corn is placed at 80, being lowest in
the Northeast and highest in the Cen
trail section. A preliminary estimate
as to yields, as reported by cores
pondents, shows 80 bushels per acre
as a probable state average. By Sec
tions, this preliminary estimate shows
yields per acre as follows: Northeast
section, 80 bushels; Northwest, s4,2;
Central, 37.5; Southwest, 27.1; South
east, 81. Based upon these agures
and estimating a per cent decrease
in the original planting Of 7,495,000
acres, a yield of about 232.OOO,O00
bushels for the state is indicated.

Wheat.

Wheat sowing is unusually late,
owing to. wet September and to fear
of Hessian fly. Correspondents esti-
mate that but 10 per cent of the crop
had been seeded by October l. 1t is
further figured that 26 per cent Of
the wheat ground is yet to be plowed.
In some Of the northern counties
threshing from the shock is just being
completed Much stack threshing
remains to be done. Quality Of wheat
is Disappointing and there is nothing
to Indicate that the final figures on the
yield will be better than were the pre-
liminary figures. Soil condition is 81.
Under unfavorable circumstances and
with disappointing market the acre
age for the new crop will be reduced.
Correspondents estimate the acreage
at 70 per cent. By sections it is:
Northeast, IS; Northwest, 81; Cen
tral, 81; Southwest, 80; Southeast,

FOUR INSTEAD OF FIVE
 MEXICANS MAY HANG

PHOENIX, July 14.-Four instead of five Mexicans may be hanged at the state prison at Florence Friday July 30
 Ramon Villalobos one of the five Mexicans under sentence to die on the gallows that day, is making a final effort to escape the hangman. Villa lobos' attorneys are trying to get a stay of execution through appealing to the supreme court.
 Of the five to die two weeks from Friday Villalobos is the only one who did not appeal to the supreme court. Despite the fact that the time limit has expired for his appeal, his attor- neys are trying, it is said, to find a way whereby the appeal can yet be taken.
 As far as known, no special ar engagements have been made for the executions which occur in little more than two weeks. No special scaffold, allowing the execution of several men at the same time, has been erected. Unless this is done at once, the entire number will be hang ed one at a time on the regular scaffold at the prison.
 The five graves, dug before the men were to have been hanged May 29, remain thrilled. When former Secretary of State w. J. Bryan's in tervention saved the necks of the five men in May, orders were given to Warden R. B. Sims not to fill up the graves, as the five had simply been reprieved.
 Whether Gov Hunt will be in Ari- zona at the time of the hangings is unknown. July g and 30 are Arizona days at the San Francisco exposition and the governor is scheduled to be there at that time.
