Missouri Crop Report.

Estimates on the Missouri corn
Weld for 1916 call for TAG, 900, 900
bushels, according to the crop re-
port issued. today by w. l.. Nelson,
assistant secretary Of the State
Board of Agriculture. The report
is as follows:
CORN-Official crop reporters
of the State Board of Agriculture
place the condition Of Missouri
corn at $40 and estimate that SO
per cent of the crop is now safe
from killing frost. This is more
optimistic report than was made
on September l when the condi-
ton of corn was given as 53.4,
with grave fears of heavy damage
from frost. At that time the i'll
dicated yield of corn was for but
135, 900, 900 bushels, but it also
stated that with seasonable Sep
tember and late frost, later fig
urcs would show a material in
crease over the preliminary esti-
matc--an increase now placed at
11.OOO,OO0 bushels. These figures,
though, are, not final, as no~corn
of consequence has yet been
cribbed. Condition of corn, by
crop division sections, show:
Northeast, 81; Southwest, IS;
Southeast, SO. The low condition
in the Southwest section is due
to the severity Of the long-rontin-
ucd drouth, which, with varying
degrees of intensity, still contin-
ucS throughout much of the state.
The preliminary estimate as to
yield per acre for the present crop
calls for POP bushels, as compared
win a preliminary estimate utf 81
bushels for last years crop, the
final figures for which We're ;}03
bushels. In Bates. Barton, Ncrn-
on and few other Southwest
counties the yield of corn is very
low and may not exceed one barrel
j bushels-per acre. On the
other hand, Holt, Atchison, Buch-
;Jlan and other counties in the
section will harvest
from 30 to 40 bushels per acre.
Quality Of corn, for the state is
GS, but varies greatly in different
sections. \ number of corre-
spondents report the quality bet
ter than is general with a light
yield. About one-lalf of the crop
is now in shock or silo and more
would have been but for the great
farmers have expert |
rnrrd in securing help. The labor
problem has been IL serious one
and in some ncighborhoods it has
been almost impossible to get /
corn cut and silos filled. Corn in
shock has cured in excellent |.
shape. Frost the last week in
caused only slight loss.
The opening price on new corn
varies from 60 cents to 81 90, with
IS cents as the average price.
Taking the state as a whole, there
will be no surplus for sale.

ATTEMPT ID KILL PRESIDENT OF
 CHINA

PEKING, Jan. 19. Explosives were today found under the palace, which investigation shows was a plot to assassinate President Yuan Shi Kai (emperor-elect. The discovery caused considerable excitement, and scores of people have been arrested as being parties to the conspiracy. AL though the president is nearly sixty years old. he is very sturdy and en- joys excellent health.
 Chinese papers are loud in their de nunciation of what they regard as Japan's indifference to the importa- tions of arms, ammunition and explo- sives into China. The recent seizure at Shanghai of a large quantity of dynamite found in the baggage of a Japanese passenger, who arrived on the Japanese ship Sakaki, from the Japanese controlled port of Dalny, is attracting much attention. The Chi nese press is charging that the Japan csc are indifferent to the activities of Chinese assassins and trouble makers located in the foreign concessions, and would be glad to see internal trouble in China, which would afford an ex- cuse for intervention And today's at tempt has aroused a cloud of suspic- ion that some sinister motive may have been behind the attempt to kill the new emperor.
