GUARDING PRESIDENTS
SPECIAL ON ALTON

When President Wilson, on his spe-
cial train, passed through Mexico
carly Saturday morning, few people
knew what precautions had been
taken to see that no accident befelI
his train or that no one attacked the
chief executive Of these United
States.
There was a man stationed at all
bridges on the Alton and Burlington
lines guarding them until his train
passed. Every main line switch also
had a guard IN duty to keep anyone
from tampering with it. All tele-
graph offices on the road were open
with an operator stationed at the
keys. The Chief Dispatcher was on
duty throughout the night and Mr..
Marquette, superintendent of the AL
ton, was on the pilot train, No. %, and
at each stop received reports stating
Just where the special was.
Extra engines and crews were sta
toned at Old Monroe, Hawk Point
Odessa and there was an extra Wab
ash crew here so that if traffic o,
the Alton should for some reason be
come tied up the special could continue
to Kansas City on that line.
Whenever the train stopped secre
service men took positions on the rea
and front platfrom of the presidents

near. At Glasgow the special passe

AUDRAIN OATS YIELD
BETTER THAN STATE


Missouri corn hardly held it own
during August, according to the joint
report of E. A. Logan and Jewell
Mayes of the U. S. Bureau Of Crop
Estimates and State Board Of Agricul-
ture. The yield Of corn indicated
September LIST, 157, 1873 800 bushels.
In Audrain county the condition of
cor is "a per cent; acreage cut for
silage 5 per cent; acreage cut for fod-
der 9 per cent; yield of oats per acre
81 bushels; condition of apples 70 PEI
cent; yield of hay 1.20 tons; quality,
SO per cent; amount of crop baled SO
per cent; yield per acre of alfalfa 2.25
tons and condition of pasture So per
cent.
The condition of corn is 70 per cent,
indicating 27.3 bushels per acre a.
gainst 20 for last year and slightly
under the 53-year average Of % bush
els. The total yield will be 23,27Sy800
bushels more than last year. During
August the rains through the state
from the southeast to the northwest
helped the crop, but lack of rain in the
southwest and along the northern bor-
der reduced prospects. Best corn in
Saline, Lafayette, Carroll, Charlton,
Howard, Boone, Cooper, Daviess,
Adair, Livingston and Randolph coun-
ties. Northeast Missouri has the best
crop in recent years. Early corr is
well toward maturity but late acreage
will require from 3 to a weeks to ripen.
Chinch bugs bad on the west side and
in Warren and st. Charles. Most corn
is too green 70 cut for fodder or silage
and farmers are uncertain as to the
acreage to be cut. About 10 per cent
or 575, 500 acres will be cut for silage
and 35 per cent or over two million
acres will be cut for fodder. The corn
crop promise is better by 26 points
than at this time last year.
Oats will yield 2s.4 bushels per acre
against % last year totaling 4O,242,-
500 bushels against A, 196, 900 in 1918.
Grain hurt by rain and in many places
not more than one-half has been
threshed at this time. Quality not
the best, grain light. Crop good in the
southern portion, inferior in the north
ern. Yield of the nine sections nearer
state average than usual.
Spring wheat yield 90 bushels or
213.8 800 bushels against 1000 last
year. Results disappointing but IN

for wheat seeding are for a reduction
