MISSOURI CROPS, NOVEMBER

jefferson City, Mo.-Missouri corn
yields q bushels per acre on $685.
900 acres, or 155,312,0O0 bushels, ac-
cording to Z. A. Logan and Jewell
Mayes of the U. S. Bureau of Crop
Estimates and State Board of Agricul-
ture.
In st. Francois county the yield Of
corn is 10 bushels; quality So per cent;
acreage harvested for grain, 80 per
cent; hogged off or gathered by ami
mails, 2 per cent; cut for silos, 10
per cent. Average weights of meas
ured bushel of winter wheat, So
pounds, and oats, 81 pounds. Aver
age yield of sorghum cane for syr-
up, 10 gallons. Quality of apples, 70
per cent, and opening price of new
corn $1.50.
Corn on Missouri farms will aver
age 81 bushels per acre, against 20
in 1918 and a long time average Of
q, with total 21,512,000 bushels
greater than last year. Quality is
So per cent against 70 last year, and
rs for ten-year average. Amount Of
last years crop on hand is small, only
3 per cent against in 1918, and cribs
are we'll cleaned out. The acreage to
be gathered for grain is S3 per cent
of that planted; hOgged off by ami
mails 7 per cent, and silage 10 per
cent, with farmers estimating the
yield at 6 tons of silage per acre.
Where corn was good much silage
was cut, where poor but little, as
farmers needed the grain. The acre
age cut for fodder was 28 per cent Of
that planted. The average price of
new corn is opening around SIPS,
with the price as low as 81 in the
northern counties and up to $1.75 in
some southern counties. Recent
heavy rains have delayed husking and
damaged the crop where blown down.
Overtiows along the Usage, Gascon-
AIDE, Meramec and smaller streams
caused heavy losses by carrying away
corn in shock and the unusual sight
of salvaging corn like driftwood has
been seen in several places. Quality
is extra good in most counties north
Of the river. Some faremrs are in

clined to sell their hogs and hold
corn. Fodder in the southwest is very
poor--spoiled by too much rain.
The weight of measured bushel of
grain is considerably less than for
several years, with spring wheat
light and poor in quality. Oats good
in the southern counties and light in
the northern.
Wheat seeding is practically fin
ished although many farmers desired
to seed more but heavy rains pre-
vented Southeast Missouri will seed
more if rains stop. New crop dam
aged in Dent and other counties. Hes
sian fly in Lafayette and st. Clair.
Some wheat not yet up. General
opinion very decided as to greatly re-
duced acreage.
Production of hay short and much
interest in forage crops. Greater area
of forage cane has been sown than
usual Crop well matured and har-
vested in good condition except por-
tion of the northeast where fields
were too wet and are still standing.
The average yield per acre of grain
sorghums is AS tons forage. Field
peas for grain are three-fourths usual
acreage, with 70 per cent production
and forage rs per cent of normal on
somewhat reduced acreage.
Clover seed produced on only 65
per cent of the usual acreage, yield
ing IT bushels per acre, or 72 per
cent of normal. More orchard grass
seed grown than usual. Soy bean yield
IA bushels per acre.
The apple crop indicated 4S per cent
production of full crop and 70 per
cent quality. Number of apple trees
in the State only half that of 1918.
Farmers continue to cut them down
and farm orchards are more dilapi-
dated each year. Pear crop better than
last year, 70 per cent production, 2S
per cent last year and 81 per cent av-
erage, 81 per cent quality. Grapes
rs per cent production and quality
SO per cent
Potatoes, rs bushels per acre, SO
last year and 50 average, totaling s.
AGO. 900 bushels, or million less than
1917. Sweet potatoes, 104 bushels per
acre, against 81 last year and SO for
average, producing $4,000 Bushels, or
$4,000 less than 1917. Sorghum, 80
gallons per acre, State total, 100000.
Farm work at standstill-roads
bad and fields a sea of mud. Very lit
tie fall blowing. Pastures better than
usual at this time. Most live stock
healthy, hog feeding general with but
little interest in cattle. Farmers
much dissatisfied with Indifferent help.
Labor shortage more apparent than
real.

THE HOT SCHOOL LUNCH

Cold days are coming. How is your
child going to like his cold, some
times frozen, and usually unappetiz-
ing, school lunches this winter. and is
he going to thrive on them? Wouldn't
you feel more content and less sell
fish as you sit down to your good hot
dinner ut noon if you knew your boy
or girl was getting something hot to
eat? Not only would you BE- happier,
but your child will do better school
work, will grow sturdier and have
fewer colds and spells of sickness this
winter if you make the little effort
necessary to get a hot school lunch
started. The children will like it not
only because their noon lunch will
taste better because of the hot dish,
hut. also because they can form
school lunch club and take turns
cooking the hot dish. Not much money
is necessary, ard where there is 4 will
there is always way to get the lit
tie equipment that is needed. The
Agricultural Extension Service, Uni
verGity Of Missouri, will tell you just
how to 20 about getting hot school
lunch club started; what equipment
will be needed, how TO get the food
supplies, what to serve how to cook it
and how to manage the cooking so
that it will rot interfere with the
children's school work. Thi-ty-eight
hot school lunches were installed last
year and twenty-six have already
been started this year under their d.
rection. Write today for information
and then call a meeting of all the
mothers in your school district and
see if you can't make plans to have Il
hot dish served in your school this
winter.

GULL DOUBTFUL HENS

When culling a flock of hens ut the
end of the laying season there are al
ways few individuals that may be
classed as doubtful Very often the
owner of the birds allows sympathy
to interfere with good business. Ac-
cording to G. w. Hervev of the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture, it is better to Gull bird that
may lay five or six more eggs this
fall than to keep her all winter as an
absolute expense.
A hen may show the characteristic
body depth Of three or more fingers
and yet may have but one-fnger
spread between the pelvic bones, This
means that the bird has stopped lay
ing but her period of ncn-production
hasn't been long enough for the body
depth to close up also. She has just
reached the point where she will be
kept at loss.
Sometimes a bird may exhibit the
desired characteristics of both good
body depth and Widespread pelvic
bones yet her skin under the fluff
may feel tough end leathery. Such n
hen will invariably have coarse pelvic
bones and coarse breast bone. She
may have had a period of production
during the summer but her total for
the year would not justify retaining
her another season.
In culling the American breeds, the
Wyandotte, Plymouth Rock and
Rhode Island Red, one is apt to be
confused by the shank color test. The
test is not so reliable with these heav-
Ter breeds as it is with Leghorns for
the reason that when they become
broody certain amount of pigment is
likely to return to the shank. One
must make due allowance for this
and if the bird is favorable in ap-
pearance otherwise it may be profit
able to keep her over as breeder
for the spring season.
In general, then, the poultry keeper
when culling must not be influenced
by any single factor, but must con-
slider all Of them. The more rigid the
culling the more capable is the flock
1t is usually safe to
market at least half of the total num-
Der of hens at the end of the laying
season, replacing them with pullets.

COLD TO BOLSHEYISM
"RedS" Unable to Gain Converts
in Denmark.
Anarchist Acknowledgement
Not Helpless

Observation-Disclosures has not OBJ
tanned SO strong hold In Denmark as
it has in Norway, writes Copenhagen
correspondent of the widely-read Brit
ish weekly, Common Sense. In Den
mark the syndicalists strive to play
much the same role as do the left
socialists in Norway, who are reported
to be supporters Of the Russian brand
of socialism.
1.-THE syndicalists, however, make no
show in the Danish parliament" says
the correspondent. "Since the riots In
Copenhagen last November, when the
Grontory district In the center OF the
city was wrecked and many scores of
civilians and policemen were injured,
there has been a tendency to regard
them as mere anarchist rabble. But,
as everywhere In Scandinavia, their
power over the wage earners is greater
than their voting strength and they
have succeeded, usually against the
Association of Trades Unions, which
has large majority behind it, in bring
ing about prolonged strikes.
''The Danish syndicalists by violent
attacks on the majority socialist party
and denunciation of its leaders, Staun-
ing and Borgbjerg, have gained GER
tain pull among the wage earners.
3'The syndicalists' connection with
the Russian bolsheviki has been re-
peatedly indicated. This gave the
cabinet good excuse for repression
so that arrests, press prosecutions and
expansions take place on a scale incon-
in Sweden or Norway, where
The left-socialists have the rank Of rec
0gnized parties.
Further, the Danish employers are
lot helpless. They threaten q great
ockout, declaring if the wages de-
handed go beyond a certain point,
hey will cease manufacturing and will |
IMPORT and sell cheaper foreign goods"
