Late Spring Decreases Dat Crop

That the oat acreage has been
seriously diminished because Of
the late spring weather is evil
dent from reports reaching the
University of Missouri College
of Agriculture from the county
agricultural agents. The snow
storm, which came about the
time half the oats were planted
and the continuing bad weather,
cut the acreage materially
Some of this acreage will be
planted to forage crops, such as
soybeans, Canadian field peas
etc, but it is likely that the res
will be put in corn. The wheat
conditions turnout the state is
reported generally good.
