Extracts Fniu State Monthly Crop Kerlew, August 1st- Corn Fur many years corn has been king of the fnrin crops of bis aula and remain today, 'although damaged to a great extent by tbe drouth.

The value ul tbe poor crop if only our loir 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 estimated 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 generally 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 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 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 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, imperialism 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 Territory, 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, contemptuous of tbe people, climbing to a throne on their suffrages and so tbe Globe-Democrat prostrates itself and worships bim, interrupting the performance 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. Shaw, was appointed by tbe board oi curators 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 departments.

Tbe department exhibits will represent original work by students to a large extent and will be very practical 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. Our Exchanges Dr. Walter Lowrey ot rutsville has purchased ihe residence of Dr.

Tbe lecture delivered by Anna M. Duwden last Sunday night at tbe Christian church was a grand success. There was a good crowd of young people in attendance, and judging from their attention tbey were all very inter, ested.
