JOPLIN GLOBE, TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1929. li'ARM DEPARTMENT GBNG MOSES, Editor FARMING INDUSTRY MADE GAIN IN 1928 'invoice Value at. the Farm Shows Increase of $17,754,560 Over Previous Year. Jefferson City, Mc, Dec. Missouri did nearly three-quarter, billion dollars business in 1928.

Year-end tabulations announced today by Logan, of the United States bureau of agricultural economics, and Jewell Mayes, secretary of the state board of agriculture, shows that the 1928 agricultural gift to the New Year is a $650,422,740 valuation of crops and livestock produced on the farms of the state during the year just closing. The grand total invoice value at the farm of all field, truck fruits, pasture crops was announced as $325,422,740, compared to $305,571,530 for 1927. Adding livestock valuation, the comparison shows total agricultural valuation of for 1928 against $632," 567,920 in 1927. The total acreage of all crops in 1928 was 13,919,880 against 13,694,650 acres-in crops during 1927. fn grain crops, corn, oats, rye, barley and spring wheat show in- sreased acreages over 1927, and only winter wheat, due to excessive abandonment, a decreased acreage from last year.

Rice also made heavy increases. Most truck crops show increases, as potatoes, spinach, cucumbers, cabbage and watermelons were grown on a greater acreage, but canning tomatoes and sweet potatoes occupied a smaller area, with fresh tomatoes for table use about the same. All of the major fruits, except show increased production over last year, as strawberries, grapes, apples and peaches had larger yields in 1928 than in 1927. The preliminary estimated value of Missouri livestock, dairy and poultry production is put at $325,000,000, against $327,000,000 last year, and it is estimated that slight increases will be shown by final returns in value of milk production and cattle, but possibly some redyction in value of eggs, chickens and hogs marketed. On this basis, the grand total of farm, crop and livestock valuation is $650,422,470 for 1928 as compared to $632,667,920 in 1927.

The following is the 1928 detailed summary of production and total valuation of Missouri farm crops, fruits and other farm production for the year ending December 31, 1928: acres, 29.0 bushels per acre, 181,540,000 bushels, 73 cents-per bushel, vaule $132,524,200. acres, 28.0 bushels per" acre, "44,968,000 bushels, 42 cents per bushel, value $18,888,560. acres, 12.7 bushels per acre, 18,990,000 bushels, $1.21 per bushel, value $22,988,790.

acres, 1,065 per acre, 28,212,000 quarts, 11 DAIRY STANDARD IS ADOPTED IN STATE Mlssourians Join in Herd Average as a Measwrc of Ability for Test Becords. That Missouri breeders approve of the new association standards of basing the testing records on herd averages rather than just on the performance of one or two superior cows is shown by, their adoption for seven leading herds during the past few months, according to Warren G4fford, superintendent of advanced registry, at the Missouri college of agriculture. Three of the dairy cattle associations, the Ayrshire, Holstein and Jersey, have adopted the new plan. It consists essentially of keeping complete herd records and reporting the annual herd averages in addition to the reports on high individuals. By requiring that complete herd averages be given the owner will be encouraged to dispose of his unprofitable cows in order to build up the herd level, believes Gifford.

As there is a strong demand for breeding stock from tested cows, it is evident that more farmers and dairymen should enroll their herds for the herd Improvement tests, he finds. The tests can be made in connnection with the regular cowtesting work. The advantage of the enrollment in the improvement tests is that an official report of the herd's average production is recorded and published annually by the breed associations. Certificates, showing the number of cows in the herd, average milk production, average per cent of butterfat, and average butterfat production of the herd for the year are issued to the owner of each herd completing one year's record. Monthly production records of milk and butterfat are based on either the one day official test as reported by the supervisor or the owner's milk report and percentage of fat as determined by the supervisor.

Some of the breeders who have adopted the in Missouri, according to Gifford, are: Chapman Farms, Lee's Summit; State hospital No. 4, Farmington; A.

ZINC CARTEL TO CUT OUTPUT 7 PER CENT London, Dec. fair amount of business is being done with consumers In the zinc market here. Interest in the market has been stimulated by the recent meeting of producers in Brussels, where the European zinc cartel was prolonged an additional six months.

Reports here are vague in regard to the precise nature of arrangements made at the cartel meeting for curtailment of production and for what may be termed the pivotal price upon which a decrease or expansion in output will hinge. There is an impression that the intention is to curtail production to the extent of 7 per cent from the beginning of 1929, and to continue this restricted rate of output so long as the average price for any quarter does not exceed £27. In consequence of the indefinite nature of reports, however, interests are left guessing as to the real significance of the agreement and in view of the rise already seen, users are inclined to proceed cautiously, while the market generally seems disposed to wait until a clearer view can be taken before developing any pronounced tendency. Meantime, there has been an establishment of backwardation. This, however, is attributable merely to technical market considerations.

M. D. Hay, Oklahoma state mine inspector, expects to make an inspection of the mines of the Oklahoma section of the district about January 8, according to reports emanating from Oklahoma City. At that time he will survey the progress the mining companies are making towards complying with his recent order in regards to "jump- cribbing" and location indicators for hoistei-s. The extent of the efforts being made by operators to comply with the order will govern the chief inspector in making extension of time for, its fulfillment.

Inspector Hay at a recent meeting with the operators of the field modified his order so that mines c6uld make changes without spending an excessive amount of money. Shafts which contain "jump-cribbing" must be realigned so that no projecting Impediments are in the shaft, which might catch a can in its travels up and down the shaft. John W. Newton and Charles A. Neal, metal-mining members of the mining laws commission, appointed to work.out a new code for the mining industry of the state, probably will hold a meeting with the chief inspector some time this week, at which time an effort will be made to iron out the differences that exist in regard to several sections of the proposed new code.

Inspector Hay is-said to be making a thorough study of the safety can being tried out by the Commerce Mining and Royalty Company at the Grace Walker mine. The can is believed to have advantages which will make it as safe for use in local mines as cages. Its cost naturally would be far less than cages. Local producers undoubtedly would encounter considerable difficulty and much expense in trying to put cages in the shafts of thf district. DAILY MARKET QUOTATIONS SXOCKS SCORE ADVANCE.

'Twas Courtesy Day. Cleveland Courtesy ruled in Judge Charles Seizer's court here recently. The judge asked Walter Gustaves whether he had anything to say in response to his wife's Charge of assault and battery. "Do your duty let your conscience be your guide," was the response. "My conscience says $25 and costs and thirty days in the workhouse," said the judge.

Nearly 50 Issues were rushed up to new peak prices for the year, a long list ot gains running from 3 to 21 points. The Associated Press average of 20 industrials was carried up 2.30 points, equaling Its high record at 258.33 established November 30, contrast to the year low of 178,84. Total sales aggregated shares. The volume ot business delayed the ticker more than half nn hour at the close, and most floor traders were kept too busy during the final hour to participate In the and Christmas party which is an annual event on the flour toward the close of the last session ot the year. Call money held at 12 per cent throughout the day, the highest level of the year and for seven preceding years, but the fact that It has been kept from going higher aurmg the heavy year-end demand for funds eav? the bulls something to celebrate Banks called SSO.OOO.OOO in loans, but the high rate quickly attracted adequate replacement funds.

The unusually gh rates for time money, which, as indicating no real easy money early in 192y, have caused some uneasiness, showed little or no easing temlencics. Funds are expected to flow back to New York on Wednesday and cause some easing ot the situation. Although brokers are looking for a heavy reinvestment demand for stocks resulting from the large January 1 interest and dividend payment several commission hou.ses continued to warn their customtrs that commitments should be extended with caution, as the trend of the new year Is Jiot yet clearly indicated. The day's news Included a advance in the export price of copper and a $9,000,000 order for locomotives placed by the New York central with the American Locomotive one ot the largest railway equipment orders In the past two years.

American Machine and Foundry, Bethlehem Steel, Columbia Carbon, International Telephone. National Supnly, and St. Lead rose 3 to nearly 12 points to record new high prices for the year.

General Electric was heavy until the final transactions, when It was quickly lifted about 6 points from its low level ot the day to a new peak. Radio and Montgomery Ward overcame early heaviness around midday, but Radio again sagged toward the close. National Bellas Hess, which has risen serratlon.ally recently, fell back nearly 16 points on heavy realizing, while Allls Chalmers, also a recent strong point, Elsenlohr, Timken Roller Bearing, Union Tank Car and United Fruit lost 2 to 5 points each.

The most active issues of the day were International Telephone Telegraph conl vertlbles iV2S, which made a net gain of points on buying encouraged by the demand for utility stocks. Public Service of New Jersey ma had a smaller turnover, but to a new high at 183, The issue broke to and then recovered to 181 Vi, closing with a net gain of 4Ti points for the day.

Traders who were short of corn to fill December contracts were obliged to step lively In eloventh-hour purchasing, but managed to avoid forcing the market to any abnormal height, deiipTte settlement of accounts today that Involved as much as. 7,273,000 bushels of corn.

Closing quotations of corn were unsettled, V4c to net higher, wheat finishing Irregular, lV4c down to Wc advance, oats varying from 16c Uccllne to an equal gain, and provisions at 10c setback to a rise of a dime. Corn prices began early today to show an upward trend.

Under such circumstances, little heed for at least- the time being was paid to announcement that today's receipts of com here were of liberal volume, 619 cars.

Predictions of a cold wave likely to Increase the movement of corn away from farms was also given but scant notice. A gain of 972,800 bushels today In the com visible supply total was likewise virtually Ignored. Other bearish news included indications that country offerings of corn to arrive In Chicago were somewhat larger, and that northern Argentina reported showers beneficial to the growing crop there. Nevertheless, highest prices of the day in the corn market were reached during the late dealings, with only a fractional setback at the last. Despite corn market strength which tended at times to check declines in wheat, all deliveries of wheat went down today to a new low price record for the.
