OATS-The oat crop is fine.
Condition, for the state, is 88,
as compared with a 5-year aver
age of rs. By sections, condi-
ton figures show: Northeast, Sc;
Northwest, "a; Central, 80;
Southwest, 88; Southeast, so.
Taking the state as a whole,
only about 10 per cent of the oat
crop has been harvested, but
south of the Missouri river, one
fourth of the crop is in shock. A
preliminary estimate is later
realized it will represent a
state yield of more than 9O,OOO,-
900 bushels.
OTHER CROPS-An abundant
crop of hay is being saved in
good shape. Condition of timo-
thy is 90.4. Clover condition is
GIG, with yield per acre of first
cutting estimated at 1.6 tons, and
acreage of 81 per cent as COM
pared with last years crop.

Alfalfa condition is 1872; yield
of first cutting, 1.3 tons per
acre, and acreage of 94.2 per
cent. Pastures continue excel
lent, the condition being 110.8.
Cotton acreage is 1O8, and condi-
ton 81.2; flax acreage, 76.5, and
condition 1919; tobacco acreage,

for a decreased acreage of cow

july Hints for Poultry Raisers.

July Hints for Poultry Raisers.
AS the chicks grow they need
more room. 1t does not pay to
let them crowd.
Beware of musty, mouldy, sour
or decayed food. It is sure to
cause trouble.
Tough grass is of no value as
a green food.
Feed hoppers greatly reduce
the work. If they are kept filled,
the chicks will never grow hun
CRY.
If your chicks are not doing
well something is wrong. Look
out for lice and for worms in
the intestines.
Two-year-old hens had better
be sent to the market. They
seldom pay for their feed if
kept over a third season.
Grit and oyster shell should be
included in the ration for both
young and old. To neglect this
would be poor economy.
Young stock will do better if
not compelled to pick their living
with the old. There will also be
less trouble from lice.
Shade is one of the most i'm.
portant essentials during the hot
months. Get the chicks into the
orchard and cornfeld. 1t is not
too late to plant suniowers.
A growing chick will not thrive
on short rations. If the right
kind of food is fed, there is lit.
tie danger of overlooking, espec.
tally if they are given plenty Of
range.
Supplement the regular feed;
with a wet mash-fed crumbly
Feed all the chicks will clear
up before going to roost, but
none should be left in the trough
for it will sour.
Mark the pullets this fall Sc
that you will know just how ole
your hens are. A leg band OF
the right leg one year and OF
the left leg the next will assist
in culling the feck. A hog ring
will serve the purpose.

Missouri Crop Report.

Itically all crops made marked
improvement during the latter
part Of June, according to the
monthly crop report issued to-
day from the office of the Mis-
souri, State Board of Agricul-
ture. The report follows:
The end of the month Of June
found everybody busy and every
body hopeful on Missouri farms,
where there's no talk of turn
ing the clocks up in order to get
another hour of daylight. Right
now, with late corn planting
scarcely completed, with early
corn to LAY by" and with
wheat, oats and hay harvests all
on hand, the length Of the farm
er's day is limited only by human
endurance. Yet there is heard
no complaint. This Missouri
farmer is happy as he hustles.
No devastating drouth has de-
manded its discount. The big
Muddy" and smaller streams
have kept within their banks.
There is no complaint of chinch
bugs, the army worm or other
insect pests of field crops.
CORN-The Missouri corn
crop is one of the contrasts.
While many fields have been
given the last blowing, there are
Others in which planting is just
now being completed. This is due
to excessive rains earlier in the
season. While some corn is in
urgent need of cultivation, most
fields are comparatively clean.
The latter part of June was ex-
ceedingly favorable for field ac-
Invites. 1t is important, though,
that the ground be stirred right
now as the soil in many fields,
plowed too wet, showing a tend
ency to bake" Corn is generally
OF good color and is making a
: fine growth since the coming of
: warmer weather. In some sec
4 lions showers would be bene-
fetal. For the state as a whole
correspondents report corn con-
ditions at 1914, as compared with
rs, one year ago, and with a
: 1O-year average of 800. By Sec
/ lions, condition shows: North
east, Is; Northwest, "a; Cen
trail, 81; Southwest, 80; South
east, 80. Present estimate as to
acreage shows a loss of 2.8 per
cent as compared with 1918 500
acres last year. The principal
decrease is in the Northeast sec
ton, the next heaviest in the
SOUTHEAST.
WHEAT-Harvest conditions
are all that could be desired and
the wheat crop is going into
shock in good shape. The yield,
though, will be the lowest for
many years. Final figures on
condition of part not harvested
show 57.8, or practically the
same as one month ago when
the report showed 57.2. Present
figures would be lower but for
the abandoned acreage, not now
counted in condition, and rep
resenting a clear loss of 17.6 per
cent. A little more than one
third-94.4-of the wheat is
now in shock, as compared with
the 5-year July l harvest prog
: ress of 1876 Der cent. Two years
ago less than one per cent of the
crop remained to be cut after
July l. Present harvesting, by
sections, shows: Northeast, II
per cent; Northwest, 4; Central.
43; Southwest, 43; Southeast.
90. Threshing is just starting in
the most southern counties. 50
that it is too early to forecast
the yield with any degree of
certainty. A preliminary es-
innate by correspondents gives

CENSE ISSUE

Application of Albert Butler TO
County Clerk, Juan j. Duran for
license to conduct retail liquor
business in Clayton was rejected
Thursday by MIR. Duran. As grounds
for not granting the license MIR. Du-
ran has the opinion, or rather the
absence of opinion of the District
attorney who would not advise, ac-
cOrding to MIR. Duran's statement,
whether TO issue the license or not
TO issue IL. Inasmuch as the Board
of County Commissioners had issued
prior licenses and rs MIR. Duran was
not legally advised as TO whether
his act would have legal sanction or
nOt-he played safe.
Through his attorneys, TOOmbs &
Harris, MIR. Butler has made applica-
tiOn for writ of mandamuS which il
granted will bring the matter before
the district court and according to
our information this being the first
case of its kind i'm the state, may
settle a series of controversies over
the entire state which are said to
have come from the same cause
that county clerks can legally issue
liquor dealers licenses.
The mandamuS application had
not been granted Saturday at noon.
District Judge Lieb is in Mineral
Wells, Texas, and il is necessary To
90 before Judge David Leahy, of
Las Vegas, for sanction of the appli-
cAIiOn.
