Extracts Fniu State Monthly Crop
Kerlew, August 1st- '
Corn Fur many years corn has
been king of the fnrin crops of t bis
aula and remain o today, 'although
damaged to a great extent by tbe
drouth. The value ul tbe poor crop if
only our loir -?ii.iiaies are realized
will be greater lhao that of any other
crop for this year. Tbe coudition at
this time is only 21 as compared with
69 one month ago and KG one year ago.
The average condition on August first
of tha corn crop for tbe past eight
years as anown by tbe records of this
office is 90.
Oar reports show that 65 per cent
of the entire crop for the state is
entirely beyond recovery and cannot
make any gram at all and that the
condition of tbe 33 per cent includes
generally the corn on bottom land's,
clover and cow pea stubble and in
localities especially favored with rain.
Data. The July crop showed thai
only about 50 per cent of the oats whs
"worth harvesting. The report shows
that 24 per cent of the crop that was
sown will be threshed with an esti
mated yield of 14 bushels per acre for
tbe acreage tbresbed.
Clover The clover hay crop was
fairly good in many places, but the
ground was so dry In most counties
when the first crop was cut that no
seed will be harvested. Tbe seed crop
will be almost aa entire failure, the
condition of the state is only 14.
Apples. Tbe following report of the
fruit, crop i based upon tbe reports of
tbe regular correspondents supple
oiented by special reports received
from a nnmber of tbe leading borticul
torlsta of different parts of tbe state.
In a few ooumiea the apple crop has
been damaged by sun burn but the
opinion of most of our correspondents
is that where rood rains have taller
there will soon be a decided Improve
ment. The condition as shown by
regular correspondents is 34 for the
state; northeast SO; northwest SI;
central 31: southweat 35; southeast
43. Tbe average condition given by
our special correspondents is some.
what higher, being about 40 per cent
for the entire state. Apples are gen
erally small and will need thinning
from 10 to 30 per cent to produce
good sized fruit. la orchards that
have been well cultivated and sprayed
the crop is in fairly good condition,
'but in neglected orchards tbe fruit has
aot developed well and is falling badly.
Tbe fruit is generally free from scab or
insects. In some counties the trees
.are dying from tbe effects of the
drouth and to a great extent is this
trne of the young trees set this year.
Peaches. Conditions are very much
tbe same as for apples except that tbe
dry weather has prevented them from
rolling as badly as usual, the rot
being almost unknown at present.
Tbe condition of tbe crop for tbe
entire state is 41 as compared with 76
one month ago. The rain has fallen
in time to greatly benefit all the late
varieties.
Melons Tbe condition of the melon
crop is very poor, being 23 for the
state. The highest average is 32 in
tbe northwest, the lowest 14 in tbe
central. The southeast, where a great
many melons are grown, shows an
average of 25.
Grapes. Grapes are perhaps least
damaged by the drouth of all the fruits.
. Where the vineyards have been well
cared for there is a prospect for a fair
' crop of fruit and the quality will be
above the average because tbe dry
weather has prevented tbe grape rot.

Si Louis Republic.
While the Globe-Democrat is
srennously indulging in a daily
belittling of Thomas Jefferson, to
whom, as President ot tbe United
l States, tbe credit of .. tbe Louisiana
purchase Is due, it is urging tbe
erection of a World's Fair statue of
the imperial Napoleon, the secondary
and helpless figure in that historic
traced ton. 1 r
The Globe seeks to discredit Jeffer
son because the teachings of Jefferson,
under which this Goverment has grown
from the weakest to the strongest of
the world's powers, forbid tbe present
McKinle; policies of centralization, im
perialism and the goverment of the
people by a privileged caste grown rich
and powerful at the expense of the peo
ple. .,..
The Globe favors Hamiliton instead.
who stood in bis day for exactly the
unamerioan things represented by Mo-
Kinleyism at the present time, and
whose creed was condemned then and
baa been steadily condemned ever since
as unamericao and full of danger to
popular goverment.
But, denouncing Jefferson, the Demo
crat, purchaser ot the Louisiana Terri
tory, tbe Globe worships Napoleon, the
ruthless imperialist, who was compelled
to sell tbe Louisiana Territory because
his imperialism had overreached itselt.
There's a man after Mark Hanna'a
own heart, bold, unscrupulous, con
temptuous of tbe people, climbing to a
throne on their suffrages and so tbe
Globe-Democrat prostrates itself and
worships bim, interrupting the per
formance only to belaud Alexander
Hamiliton or to sneer at Thomas Jeff
erson,
Hans for Missouri University Exhibit
at Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
The plans for tbe State University's
exhibit at the Louisiana Purobase Ex
position, to be teld in St. Louis in
1UU3, are already on foot, in fact,
bave been oa foot tor over a year, a
committee, consisting ot Drs. lsldor
Loeb, H. J. Waters and II. B, Shaw,
was appointed by tbe board oi cura
tors of the University more than a year
ago for tbe purpose of considering and
drawing up plans for the University's
exhibit. This committee recently made
its report to the executive board of
tbe University and the report has been
submitted by tbe executive board to tbe
Missouri World's Fair commission,
and will be passed upon in due time.
As outlined in tbe report the exhibit
will consist of two parts; first, a
general exhibit of the University as a
whole and second, exhibits of tbe
peculiar activity of tbe various depart
ments. Tbe department exhibits will
represent original work by students to
a large extent and will be very practi
cal in character. The monument
originally placed over the grave of
Thomas Jefferson, which is now upon
the campus of tbe State University,
will probably form a central feature of
tbe exhibit.
Tbe exhibits from tbe department
ill include exhibits in agriculture,
horticulture, dairy husbandry, physics,
history and political science, zoology,
entomology, botany, geology, veteri
nary science, anatomy, bacteriology
and pathology, household economics,
civil and electrical engineering and
shop work, agricultural chemistry,
physiology, drawing, library work,
etc.
