4 BIG YIELD OF CORN
Crop Promises to Exceed That
of | .ast Year by Fifty
Million Bushels.

The Missouri corn crop for 191;
promises to surpass that Of 1914 by
fifty million bushels. This cheering
statement is from the October crop re.
port issued yesterday from the Office ol
the secretary of the State Board oil
Agriculture. The report in part fol-
lows:
September conditions were not the
best, the rainfall being much above
normal, but there were no killing
frosts.
Corn has made a substantial ad-
vance in condition since our last re-
port. On September / the condition
was 75.4., It is now given as S4-a
gain of more than points. One year
ago corn condition was 65. Quality of
corn is placed at SO, being lowest in
the northeast and highest in the GEN.
trail section. Correspondents esIi-
mated 81 per cent of the crop safe
from frost on October 1. 1t is prob
able that only the late corn has suf-
fered and that the loss will not be
heavy.
"A preliminary estimate. as to
yields. as reported by correspondents.
shows 80 bushels per acre as a prob
able state average. Estimating a
per cent decrease in the original plant
ing of 7.495.000 acres. a yield OF
about 232.O00,0OO bushels for the state
is indicated It should. however, be
borne in mind that the corn crop Is
spotted, uneven and hard to esti-
mate in advance and that the final fig
ures may show a decided difference.
The 1914 corn crop consisted of 175.-
$4,000 bushels. 1t is estimated that
81 per cent of the farmers are now
feeding new corn. It is believed thai
the opening price will be about co
cents per bushel

WASHINGTON. Oct. $50 long as
good weather continues in the fall
most farmers are so busy with thresh-
ing. corn and potato harvest. fall seed
ing. hauling and the like, that less i'm
portant work is usually postponed un-
til winter. However, the exercise Of
a little thought and the expenditure
of a very few minutes at this season
will often save not only hours, but
days. later on when the weather and
roads get bad and outdoor work is i'm
possible.
Then the odd jobs of overhauling
the farm equipment. repairing. paint
ing, and the like, which have been put
of until slack season. will require
attention. But all too often the me-
cessary materials will not be on hand,
and the work will be delayed until 1t is
possible to make trip to town. Not
infrequently 1t remains undone until
the busy season the following year,
when necessity demands it.
A list should be made Of the things
that will be wanted for this work. It
will only take a few minutes tc lot
them down as they are brought to
mind. and then, on the next trip to
town. they may be bought and set
aside so they will be ready when want
ed. The conditions Of the different
machines which will, or should be.
overhauled should be noted. and the
parts which will need to be replaced.
purchased. Then there are the odd
jobs of repairing buildings. fences.
gates. and the like which will require
lumber and nails; there is no need 20
make an extra trip for them when
wanted-they may be brought home
the next time load IL taken to town.
Likewise the lumber and hardware
for the small jobs Of construction
which should be done before spring:

also the paints, oils, putty and brushes
which will be required in painting the
various farm wagons, implements, in
side woodwork and furniture. And
above all, the necessary materials for
the Improvements you have been plan
ming for the house should be obtained,
so that they can be completed this
winter and not have to wait another
year.
Everyone knows how much more
satisfactory it is to have the necessary
equipment ready to perform a piece Of
work when an opportunity presents
than to get started on it and then find
that it will have to be postponed until
trip can be made to town, which,
even If the roads are good and the trip
can be made at ohce, means loss OF
time and added expense.
1t is astonishing how much can be
accomplished on rainy days or during
slack times, when the tools and ma
terials are at hand. There should be no
difficulty in overhauling practically
every implement on the farm during
the winter season to have them ready
for next seasons work. The value
of these stitches in time" is fire.
frequently out Of all proportion to the
small amount of time they require.
Aside from the satisfaction of having
each implement in first-class shape
when it is needed. there is the actual
saving accomplished by avoiding hav-
ing horses and hired help standing
idle while repairs are being made,
which. In turn. frequently means .
loss Of part Of . crop.
1t is useless to 90 into detail con-
corning the MANY jobs which can .,e
accomplished with profit the winter
months; there are plenty Of them
which viii occur to the farmer who
viii spend few minutes In consider
ing the matter.

A Chance for Reduction.
1t ought to offer wonderful oppor-
tunities for reduction. also; for
rubber chin strap could be worn ef-
facaciously and unseen beneath the
muller, and even the muller on its
own account ought to be able to in
duce a profuse enough perspiration
these torrid days to reduce any known
or unknown quantity of chins without
any gutta-percha aid.
Whether you be chinny or chinless,
you'd better muffle up in a
muffler or you'll muff the hit of the
season.
