A committee from the Chamber Of
Commerce will call on local business
men this week and see il they favor
a street carnival company around the
square the first week in October. The

The Chamber will pay for the letter

Warm weather is badly needed by
the farmers in this section as well as
in other parts of the state. What
corn has already been planted in Aud
rain will rot in the ground if the cool
weather continues and the rain does
not stop. A number of well known
farmers have made this statement.
The oats are also reported to need
warmer weather. Conditions in some
parts of the state differ materially it
seems. Along the river bottoms the
ground has been so wet that no corn
has been planted and in fact no
ground has been broken because of
the dampness. If the weather does
not get warm and the rain stop it is
feared corn cannot be planted this
year.
However the general crop outlook
in Audrain is most encouraging, &C.
cording to all reports. A few days
of warm weather will see the bulk of
the county corn crop planted. The
acreage will be large this year.

farmer and feeder of Audrain county.
Mo-, was on the st. Louis market
Wednesday, May 5 with a shipment
of two cars of cattle, as head, that
averaged 1896 lbs. which sold at
1926. Mr.. Brown was highly pleased
with the price as it was more than he
had hoped toget a short time ago.
Mr.. Brown purchased these cattle
about a year ago, grazed them during
the summer and then put them on a
feed of corn and silage. They have
been on full feed for the past four
months. He reports the oats crop as
looking good; wheat also good with a
larger acreage than usual. No corn
planted but most of the ground broke.
Cattle and hogs on feed rather scarce.
