Missouri Crop Report.

VVVyVVV OuollClcy w
the crop report issued today by
w. L. Nelson, assistant secre-
tary of the State Board Of Ag-
'riculture. The report is as fol
lows:
CORN-OAicial crop reporters
of the State Board of Agricul-
ture place the condition of Mis-
souri, corn at 64.8 and estimate
that 88 per cent of the crop is
now safe from killing frost.
This is a more optimistic report
than was made on September /
when the condition of corn was
given at 53.4, with grave fears
of heavy damage from frost. At
that time the indicated yield Of
corn was for but 1856, 900, 900
bushels, but it was also stated
that with a seaonable September
and a late frost, later figures
should show a material increase
over the preliminary estimate
an increase now placed at H.
000,00O bushels. These figures
though, are not final, as no corn
Eof consequence has not been
cribbed. Condition of corn, by
crop division sections, show:
Northeast, 81; Northwest, rs;
Central, Ga; Southwest, AZ;
Southeast, SO. The low condi-
tion in the Southwest section is
due to the severity of the long
continued drouth which, with
varying degrees of intensity,
still continues throughout much
of the state. The preliminary
estimate as to yield per acre for
the present crop calls for 20.2
bushels, as compared with a
preliminary estimate of 80 bush
els for last years crop, the final
figures for which were 30.5
bushels. BY sections, present in
Dictated yields per acre are:
Northeast, 23.2 bushels North
west, 27.9; Central, 1876; South
west, 1914; Southeast, 81. In
BATES, Barton, Vernon and a few
other Southwest counties the
yield of corn is very low and may
not exceed one barrels bushels
-per acre. On the other hand,
, Holt, Atchison, Buchanan and
other counties in the Northwest
: section will harvest from 30 to
40 bushels per acre. Quality Of
corn, for the state, is SO, but
/. varies greatly in different sec
! tions. A number of correspond
ents report the quality better
than is general with a light
yield. About one half of the
: crop is now in shock or silo and
more would have been put for the
! great difficulty farmers have ex-
, perienced in securing help. The
labor problem has been a Sc
rious one and in some neighbor-
hoods it has been almost impos-
sible to get corn cut and silos
= filled. Corn in shock has cured
in excellent shape. Frost the
last week in September caused
only slight loss. The opening
price on new corn varies from
60 cents to $1.OO, with rs cent;
! as the average price. Taking
the state as a whole, there vii
g be no surplus for sale.
