THE CROP REPORT FOR JUNE
Conditions Are Exceptionally Good
Throughout the State With Fine
Prospects for Big Yields.

The July crop report issued by W
l.. Nelson, assistant secretary of the
| Missouri state board of agriculture
/ tells of ideal harvest conditions and
| better yields of wheat and oats than
we're anticipated month ago. The
report based upon July 1 conditions,
SAYS:
Missouri crops, as a whole, are very
promising. There is practically no
| complaint Of damage by insect pests.
Weather conditions have been favor
able, although rather low tempora-
lures prevailed during the early part
OF June. While there has been but a
little damage from drouth, rain is
needed in practically the entire south
ern half of the state as well as in
various counties to the north. In a
few central and southwest counties
conditions are now critical Gardens
generally are in need of rain. There
is some complaint as to scarcity of
help and high wages demanded for
poor services rendered
Corn.-While corn is about ten days
late, it is well cultivated and of a fine
color The growth during the last
few days has resembled that of Jacks
bean stalk Correspondents report
some corn laid by, while the end of
June found planting still in progress
in the bottoms that we're overflowed.
Condition of corn for the state is SS
per cent, as compared with SO.4 per
cen. for the ten-ycar July l average.
This is also the highest July condition
for the decade
Wheat-Owing to the very limited
acreage, the total yield of Missouri
wheat will be small, but the crop Is
making a great finish" With highly
favorable weather conditions. the out
come during June was wonderful.
While wheat is generally thin on the
ground, heads are well filled and ber-
ries plump, so that the quality is ex-
cellent preliminary estimate places
the average yield for the state at
twelve bushels, the range being from
five TO thirty-five bushels.
Oats.-The Missouri uat crop of this
year may break all records for the
state. The condition is 1905 per cent.

STARTLING INDIANA FIGURES
Or. Ravenel Of State University Calls
Upon Mssourans to Wake Up
to Conditions Here.

The last monthly bulletin Of the In.
diana state board of health gives
some striking facts and asks some
pointed questions. The facts are:
The population of Indiana is 2,S3O,OO I:
they spend 10000 900 a year having
consumption; $2,300,OOo on typhoid
fever; $1,5OO,OOO having pneumonia;
S5,OOO,OOO on insanity; 100000 on
feehle-mindedness and idiocy: $780,
900 on epilepsy and S2,5OO.000 on
venereal diseases. Thirteen hundred
babies die every year from stomach
and diarrheal troubles chiefly the re-
sulC of dirty milk. Indiana spends
Si,500,000 year boarding rats.
Are we in Missouri any better off
than the people in Indiana, or are we
more intelligent? Have we better
health conditions? Are we any more
awake to the criminal and foolish
waste of money which is going on in
the state in allowing preventablo dis
eases to take off our ablc-bodied men
and women and our babies? The an.
swcr to this question is NO.
In fact. Missouri does not spend
anything like the amount Of money on
health matters that Indiana spends.
Missouri is not as wide awake as In
diana is to the necessity of prevent
ing diseases. In single year Mis-
souri, lost only 10000 children under
E years of age and of these 6,495 were
under one year There is urgent need
for us to wake up and to spend more
money on the prevention of diseases
