HALE WHEAT cR0P
Much Not to be Haryestested.
Freeze Did the Damage
Flr Aided.

Many who had fine prospects
a few weeks ago will not cut
cut their wheat crop and a NUM-
ber who expected to have as
much as 20 bushels to the acre
are now certain that they will
thresh less than ten. 1t would
astonish any one to see the acre
age of wheat which is down
and net worth cutting for any
purpose. The theory is that the
freeze some weeks ago weakened
the straw and as soon as the
grain was formed the weight
broke the stalk and some think
the fly aided in weakening the
stalk. At any rate. except in
some places, the yield will not
be half what was looked for in
that which is and will he har-
vested. Oats are a fairly good
crop and many meadows are fine
and if any one ever saw finer
prospects for a bumper crop Of
corn, it was in 1902.

Warning to Wheat Growers
We wish to ask all wheat
growers to be very careful about
purchasing seed wheat to be
shipped in from any firm outside
of Missouri. Mr.. Kirkpatrick
was ID Charlton County Friday
Of last week inspecting several
fields of wheat for seed purposes
which may be recommended by
the Missouri Grain Growers AS
sociation. He states that a car
load or more Of seed wheat was
shipped in to the eastern part Of
Missouri last year from as far
east as New York or Penn. and
that this year these fields which
were sown with this seed was
represented to be real Fultz = it
was nothing but very badly mix
| ed Fultz inferior to a great
part of Missouri wheat.
Information has come to the
Farm Bureau office that some
lone is travelling through Charlton
County taking orders for seed
wheat to be shipped from some
state in the east and as this
may be similar to what was sold
in east Missouri last year we
would suggest that you leave it
alone.

POROSCOPY WILL BE
 USED TO MAKE WAY
 OF TRANGRESSOR HARD

PARIS, Aug. 31.-Poroscopy and Intended to make the way of the transgressor harder than it is. Poros. copy is the science of measuring the pores of the body. Graphometry is the science of form and relative pro portion of letters in handwriting.
 Dr. Edmond Locard, head of the Lyons police laboratory of identifi- cation. has elaborated these new methods of crime detection to a ponr where the results have been accept ed in the Lyons courts and are said to have been proved effective
 In poroscopy. Dr. Locard holds the number, form and position of body pores remain the same throughout life. The impression of the pores. in Dr. Locard's. system. is colored by chemical vapors or very fine powders so they may be photo graphed under microscope
 Dr. Locard tells of several success ful prosecutions supported by his new sciences. In one case burglar wore gloves but left an impression of 1mall surface of forearm. That. trace convicted him. Another burg. lar. perspiring freely. left the i'm pression of pore surfaces through his gloves and went to jail
 Graphometry. as termed by Dr. Locsrd. consists primarily in the theory that handwriting shows al- ways a certain relation in size be- tween letters and unmistakable char.
