are good at 100 bushels per acre, ex-
cepting about st. Louis where they
were poor.

production of apples So per cent of

sive heat late in August and Septem.
Der reduced final yield and quality
The number of apple trees stands the

creaed interest shown in new trees,
which offsets the loss in old orchards.
The number 70 bearing apple trees is

MISSOURI CROPS,
NOVEMBER, 1922

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 11-Corn
gathering in st, Francois county indi-
Gates an average yield of 20 bushels,
with 70 per cent of the crop merchant
able. Of the 1921 crop only 2 per
cent remains on farms. The average
county price of new corn is rs cents.
Farmers are harvesting this year SO
per cent of their corn for grain, per
cent hogged off, and 5 per cent went
into silos, and cut 66 per cent for fod-
der. Sorghum molassesl ocally yield
ed 100 gallons per acre.
Missouri corn gathered to date in
dicates an average yield of go bushels
per acre, or Ill y477,000 bushels, ac-
cording to E. A. Logan and Jewell
Mayes of the Federal-State Crop Re-
porting service. The yield in 1921
was 49,, $4,000 bushels, of which 6
per cent or 11,973,000 bushels remains
on farms.
Missouri farmers report corn husk-
ing out 80 bushels per acre upon g.
$4,000 acres producing III AT, 900
bushels, against 30 bushels totaling
l82,8S0 900 last year. The five-year
average is 176,224,000.
The September rains helped the
corn somewhat, the gathering indi-
eating a slightly higher yield than
was anticipated on October list. Gath
ering has been more or less delayed
by warm weather, and sharper frosts
are needed to dry cut the grain in GER
tain sections.
The yields are satisfactory through
out the northern third, but on the east
side are poor, having been reduced by
ohinch bugs and extreme drouth. The
crop is very short throughout most of
the southern counties. Southeast
Missouri has fairly good corn crop.
Mr.. E. K. Carver, of Guilford. Noda-
way county, says "Corn husking is
progressing, yield fully up to all ex-
pectations, but has been too warm
for husking."
The portion of crop merchantable
is "a per cent or points above last
year, although there is chaffy corn
due to chinch bugs and premature
rlpening with shriveling of grain.
Cflbbing is under way throughout the
state. Less corn is on hands than
last year, and it was fed literally to
hogs in the summer months through
out the surplus counties, and in the
deficient localities last year supply
has been used up on account of the
liberal feed shortage.
The price of new corn is not sta
bilized, but averages 81 cents per
bushel ranging from 55 cents in the
good crop countiest SO cents in
Ozark county. The corn put into 81
los shows no increase above last year,
as labor was high in many sections
and forage plentiful. Corn was cut
for fodder more than usual in the
drouth stricken counties.
Wheat seeding has been completed,
and is coming up to good stands. Re-
cent rains have improved growth so
that the coming 1923 crop now has
good prospects of going into winter
quarters in fine condition. Wheat in
many counties needed rain during the
larger portion of October, but has
been generally relieved. Late sown
wheat is showing we'll above ground
from seedlings which continued up to
November. Wheat has fine growth in ,
the northwest and western portions
where sown early, and is beginning to
green up on fields east and south.
