For the last three or four years
Missouri Farmers who own siIos have
not noticed the growth Of . peculiar
red mold in the silage. In some years
i has appeared emily in small quanti-
ties. but IN others it has appeared at
a depth Of as much as fifteen Zee. zzs
has infected areas two or three feet
square, often adhering to the sides o.
the silos. eyeral farmers have writ
ten 70 the College Of Agriculture Of
the University Of Missouri asking
what the cause Of this mold is and
what to do to stop its ranges.
Experiments conducted in the lab
oratoFy Of the department Of botany
show that the growth does not occur
without the presence Of free oxygen.
Its occurrence IN the lower depth Of
silos is probably due to the fact that
the silage when packed was not Buf-
Heiently tramped-
Another factor which has some IN
finence on the presence Of molds in
silage is that Of moisture. Very often
silage is put away too dry. Mods
develop in much greater abundance
where the silage issaly slightly moist
The Chinese people use a red fungus
the mold Of which corresponds to
the red mold Of silage-in manufac
turing red rice, a substance used as
a food eoloring and beverage. The
fact that the Chinese do use the pig
ment in preparing a beverage tends
TO show that the fungus is not poison
Gus. Many Missouri farmers thought
that the mold was causing death
among stock. The mold has appeared
in the silage on the farm used BY the
College Of Agriculture, but it is
thought that no deaths have occurred
among stock because Of this growth.
The mold has also appeared in other
states.

According to the report Of the State
Board Of Agriculture crop conditions
in Missouri are as follows:
Wheat-Whest condition, for the
state. is 500. This is a gain Of prac-
tcally two points-i8-since the spe-
eial report of May 20. However,
there is a loss Of slightly more han
20 points for the month Of May. The
slight increase in condition since the
rains will just about be offset by food
loss and decreased acreage from other
causes. Generally speaking. the heav-
lest wheat producing counties in a 10
year average are now among those
reporting low condition. This NAV
reduce somewhat the Indicated Weld
for the state. Recent improvements
are mainly in the late wheat Indica-
tons of rust are causing some an
xiety. Furthermcre, heavy rains dur
ing the following period were not
most desirable for heavy yield. Con-
dition Of wheat one year ago was
|s2y6.
Corn-CorrespOndents report nine
t~enths-sO.6 per cent-of the Mis-
SCUM corn crop planted. This Is 4 E
cent IN advance Of the iO-year average
But for the heavy rains Of the latter
part Of May planting would have
been completed. The stand Is ex-
eelient in oyeraowed or badly washed
fields. Soil condition is So. Condition
