loss since April / of three points.
Present condition is 62:8. By sec
tions, condition is: Northeast Do;
northwest, TBS; Central, So; South
west, SO; southeast, 60. Wheat con-
dition one wear ago was 80, while the
ten year average May l condition
shows $40. Lowest for the decade
was 63.4 in 1912 when the average
acre yield was 1876 bushels. Highest
was i01.8 in 1914 when the crop av-
eraged Ill bushels. With favorable
weather for corn planting and with
no further improvement in wheat, 1T
is estimated that 18 per cent of wheat
sown in fall of 1915 will be replaced
by other crops. However, only a
small per cent of this has been plowed
up at the present time. AS acreage
seeded for 1916 crop was 17.3 per cent
short, further reduction will, at best,
mean limited total yield.
OATS-Practical the entire oat
crop has been seeded, the only oat
sowing remaining being in the ev-
IRENE northern counties. Acreage as
estimated by correspondents, shows
1904 per cent as compared with l.
063, 900 acres in 1915. But for unfa-
vorable weather, this would have been
larger. By crop division sections,
acreage percentages show: Northeast,
So; northwest, 1913; Central, 100;
southwest, 1903; Southeast, "a. Re-
ports as to conditions of oats are gen.
orally favorable, showing SO for the
State. Sections differ but little
However, the southwest, with "a, is
slightly the lowest on oats.
OTHER CROPS-Condition of all
clover is 85.6. New clover is in good
shape, while much old clover is dead
Timothy condition is 80; alfalfa, 8O.2
Pastures, especially where not grazeo
too close last year, have made prog
ress, and stock generally has beer
turned to grass. Condition of pas
lures is 90.6. Cotton will show al
increased acreage over last years
crop. This increase may amount tt
ten per cent. A large per cent of thu
crop has been planted and there i!
fear that the cool, wet weather ma!
, injure the stand. The outlook for {
general fruit crop is 70, with the ap
pie prospect excellent. Peach crol
outlook is placed at 80, the southeas
section leading with &c. In the north
ern half of the state the few scatter
+, ed peaches will be confined almost en-
tirely to the seedlings. The berry out
look is excellent. In many localitie
l cherries and plums will be light, ow
ing to late frost.
LIVE ST0CK-Live stock is gene
!, rally thrifty and in good health
T. There is, however, some complaint o
clover bloat, also of cattle dying iron
: eating old clover improperly cured un

last year. There is but little com
plant as to hog cholera.

MISSOURI CROP REPORT
Columbia. Mo, May 6. 1916.


Despite unfavorable weather con-
ditions. almost one-fifth of the state
corn crop had been planted by May /,
according to the Missouri crop report
issued today from the Office of the
State Board of Agriculture. The re-
mort in full is as follows:
Farm work in Missouri during April
was retarded by continued cool and
cloudy weather. At Columbia the
mean temperature for the month was
800 degrees; total precipitation 2:6S,
There is need of warmth and sunshine.
The growth of vegetation is being re-
tarded and much seed that has been
planted is terminating slowly. Soil
condition is 83 as compared with 81
one year ago.
CORN-Ninetee per cent of the
Missouri cori crop has been planted,
according to reports made to the State
Board of Agriculture. Weather con-
sidered, this indicates favorable pro-
gress, as the 10-year average shows
but "a per cent of the crop planted
by May /. One year ago 30 per cent
of the crop had been planted. The
earliest planting for the last decade
was in 1910 when AZ per cent of the
crop was in the ground by this date
latest was in 1912, with May l plant.
ing showing but 3.5 per cent. By sec
lions, present planting progress is
Northeast, 13;Northwest, IL; Contra
Is; Southwest, 20; Southeast, II
I Estimates show 81 per cent of corr
ground plowed, as compared with q
per cent last year. A preliminary es
innate by correspondents shows al
8 per cent increase in corn acreage a!
compared with the 1915 crop of z,
218.500 acres.

OF PROVEN WORTH

The time is near when voters will
decide whom they will choose to con-
duct Missouri's affairs the next four
wears. A man of experience was new
er more needed. A man with an in
innate knowledge of the States af-
fairs is needed. This is no time to
try an experiment just to tickle some
mans ambition.
The present Secretary of State is
one man who has been tried and found
true. The service he has rendered the
State is a model of honesty, efficiency
economy and intelligence. He has
proved his qualifications to MAKE good
as Chief Executive. He is known al
over the State, and his fitness is un'
Questioned. Missouri needs his tech
meal knowledge and his services. He
has not had the experience that woulc
recommend him as president Of {
manufacturing business, but he is no
tably and indisputably equipped BY
training, nature and inclination t
make the kind of public servant Mis-
souri, needs as Governor. Voters vii
be reluctant to reject the employment
of such a man as he has demonstrate
himself to be. His experience anC
training are. what the State needs
rather than elevation Of the wealth!
and inexperienced in public service
The kind of statecraft Cornelius Roaci
possesses should be at the service o
the State. If any other man is bette
fitted. then choose the other man. Tn
| ctoto,s xuelfare should outweigh al
other considerations.
