Crop Conditions Poor.

Despite unfayorable weather condi-
tions, almost one-fifth of the state
corn crop had been planted by the
FIRST Of May, according to the Mis-.
souri, crop report issued from the Of
fee Of the state board of agriculture
The report is as follows:
Farm work in Missouri in April
was retarded by continued cool and
cloudy weather There is need of
warmth and sunshine. The growth
of vegetation is being retarded, and
much seed that has been planted is
terminating slowly. Soil condition
is SO as compared with 81 year ago.
Corn-Nineteen per cent of the Mis-
souri, corn crop has been planted, and
this indicates favorable progress, as
the 10-year average shows but "a per
cent Of the crop usually planted by
May l. Estimates show an increase
of s per cent in acreage over the
1915 area.
Wheat-Early In April wheat gave
promise of improvement, but later
many fields showed loss rather than
gain, and the state shows a loss of 8
points for the month. Present con-
dition is CPS, a year ago it was 80.
and the 1O-year average is $40. 1t
is estimated that is per cent of the
crop sown in the fall Of 1915 will be
replaced by other crops.
Oats-Practically the entire cat
crop has been seeded. Acreage shows
1904 as compared with the area for
1915. Condition for the entire state
stands at 80.
Other Crops-Condition of all clio
yer $3.50. New clover is in good con-
dition. Timothy is 80; alfalfa is
500. Cotton will show an increased
acreage Of 10 per cent. A large per
cent of the crops have been planted,
and the outlook for a general fruit
crop is 70, with the apple prospects
excellent.

May Change the Funds.

Governor Majors recent recon-.
mendation in his statement on state
finances that the surplus of the mon
ey paid in by the taxpayers of Mis-
souri, for interest on the school GER
tificates Of indebtedness, be trasferred
by law to the revenue fund, so that
it may be available for state ex-
penses, offers a solution Of a Vexing
question.
The last legislature, upon the rec
ommendation of Treasurer Deal, re-
duced the tax rate on the school GER
tifcates of indebtedness from 2 to
l cent on the 500.
The governor says there are 1914.
1852 surplus in this fund and that
it is constantly growing and that it
cannot be used for any other purpose
than that for which people pay it in.

Monthly Report Suppressed.


The report of the transactions and
condition of the state treasury for
April was filed by Treasurer Deal
with Governor Major on the LIST, fol-
lowing the requirements of the law,
but contrary TO custom, the figures
were withheld from the newspaper
correspondents.
A facsimile of the treasurer's re-
port, prepared from the books of the
state auditor, covering April, was also
filed with the governor, but this, too,
was not made public.
No explanation was given as to
why the two reports were withheld,
except that instructions had been
given that the figures were not to be
given out.
That the general revenue fund is
"cramped" after the payment Of the
civil list covering salaries for April,
there is no doubt, but what purpose
is served by refusing to make public
the monthly statement is not appa-
rent.
Auditor Gordon was out of town,
and his chief clerk, Willard King,
stated instructions had been received
from Gordon not to give out the fig
ures.
There has been standing order for
several months from Treasurer Deal
that the figures of the monthly re-
port must be kept secret.

state and the public service commits
sion have been holding a series Of
conferences relative to the elimina-
ton of dangerous grade crossings.
The railroads agree that the subway
elimination of the crossings would be
preferable to viaducts. At some Of
the points in dispute viaducts would
ruin large portion of the value of
adjacent property, while the same is
not true Of the subway scheme. City
representatives are agreed that any
method of elimination is desirable.
The conference came to no decision,
but will resume deliberations on the

testimony will be heard from both
sides.
