department of agriculture from October 1 conditions. Major crops are higher yields per acre, of better quality than last year, the joint report of the federal and state departments declared. The Missouri corn crop of 6,131,000 acres shows October condition of 79 per cent normal, forecasting 28.5 bushels per acre, totaling 734.000 with 6.011.000 acres for 1930 with 44 per cent October condition yielding 12.3 bushels per acre, totaling 73,935,000 bushels. The 1931 wheat crop averaged 20 busels per acre, compared with 14 per acre in 1930. Wheat seeding for the 1932 crop 40 per cent completed on October 1, against 54 per cent last year.

Rye is 57 per cent against 80 per cent in 1930. Rains of late September put soil in condition, and farm work is going at an increased rate. Oats production is 9,833,000 bushels greater than in 1930, as the yield is 30.5 bushels on 1,786,000 acres producing 54,473,000 compared with 1,624,000 acres averaging 27.5 bushels, totaling 44,660,000 in 1930.

Fall harvested hay crops are showing much heavier yields than last year, especially soybeans and cowpeas, katiirs and sw'cet sorghums.

Wheat and rye seeding is much behind this time in 1930, the acreage probably 10 per cent or more below 1930. Recent weather has been favorable. Shipments of livestock from stockyards to the coun try have increased since July as up to October, 24 per cent more sheep shipped to farms than from July to September, 1930, and farmers have taken out eight per cent more cattle than a year ago. The quality of most crops is good this season, having been harvested without damage although crops showing low yields are of lower quality.

GRUMICH, Associated Press Spcrts Writer MEMORIAL STADIUM, COLUMBIA, Oct. husky, fumbling Kansas Aggies overpowered and dominated the Missouri Tigers in their Big Six conference football season opener here today 20 to 7 before an inaugural day crowd of 6500. Without the fumbles on this tropical October afternoon, Kansas State might have rolled up a more decisive margin although the Tigers too yielded one touchdowm on a hobbled pass back over the goal line late in the final period.

The fumble score showed nine by the Aggies and three against Missouri. Fumbling started in the scoreless first period when Missouri recovered on the first tw'o gie plays and made a bid for an early lead. And the fumbling marred the whole game as the perspiring grid- ders wmrked in intense Indian summer heat. The first touchdow'n march started when Big Percy pass was intercepted by Henry Cronkite, Aggie end. Emmett Breen, reserve, Ralph Graham and Coach Ray McMillan, set the Tigers back on successive line plays to their 2 yard stripe Graham charged over for the first score.

Missouri tied the score on the first play of the second half, wTien George Stuber, sophomore, took Elden kickoff 95 yards to the goal line.

Paul Von Hindenburg, supreme commander of the German armies in the World war, and Adolf Hitler, who served most of the war in the ranks, talked as equals for more than an hour today about the foreign and domestic problems of Germany. It was the first meeting the grugg 84-year-old president and the comparatively young leader of the strongest opposition to the National Socialists want to repudiate the treaty of Versailles and establish a rule of similar to the shirt regime in Italy. The details of their conversation were not made public, but it understood the president the Nazi leader against any further disturbances by his followrers, especially in connection with the National Socialist convention to be held tomorrow at Harzbiirg. the political philosophies of the president and the Nazi chief there is a great contrast as in their personal characteristcs and their histories.

Police held the Nazis on the opposite side of the street, and their leader paused on the steps of the palace, turned toward them and raised his arm in salute. A great cry of went up as he entered the palace. For an hour and a quarter Hitler talked with Von Hindenburg, informing him of just wiiat the National Socialists hope to do Germany. A brief communique, issued at the end of the conference, said he had made extensive report on the aims of the Nazi movement. This was followed by an exchange of view's on foreign and domestic political dowm a modification of the ancient flying with ten players knit closely together for a concerted blocking charge on receipt of the kickoff.

The Aggies scored in the third period with an infantry and overhead offensive after Breen raced 37 yards around his left end to the Tiger 37 yard line, Auker got for 21 yards and fumbled but recovered. Graham charged to the Missouri 6 yard line and cracked the line twice for the Expulsion of Carl Johanningmeier, veteran Tiger back, for slugging and a penalty of half the distance to the goal gave the Aggies the ball on the Missouri 26 yard line and another opportunity to score. Graham fumbled, at the 1 yard line and Missouri punted out of danger momentarily. The Aggies again drove back after Bhusby intercepted pass, at the Missouri 9 yard line but Busby fumbled and Missouri recovered. Stuber, who had dragged goalw'ard bound Aggies at numerous times, fumbled the pass back from center set for a punt out of the end zone, and Zeckser fell on the ball for the final touchdow'ii.

The apprehensive tension suddenly let go, with a bang. There were cheers which expressed both relief no craft and joy. Whistles tooted shrilly and automobile horns blared. Racing motors backfired like machine guns and a paper snowstorm swirled lazily down from offices which still held late Saturday afternoon occupants. Things quieted down momentarily as fans went to close their desks for the day or to get back to jobs they had been neglecting shamelessly.

The crowd returning from park touched off the fire again and more paper streamers appeared. Stores did a rushing business in noise making devices, and cowbells came clanking down the streets on the rear ends of automobiles. Two fires occurred when paper streamers and bunting blazed. Patrolmen and traffic officers had a stiff work as the enthusiasms of the afternoon continued into the night, with its accompaniment of jammed streets, traffic snarls and a bedlam of noise.

LINCOLN, Neb. Oct. Henry Sauer, sophomore back, galloped to victory for the University of Nebraska today in its initial Big Six conference tilt -with the ers of the University of Oklahoma. The score Nebraska 13; Oklahoma 0. At the outset of the fourth period, Sauer picked a hole in the Sooner line and loped 47 yards to goal.

He duplicated in the last four minutes of the game and raced 65 yards to score. The last Hunker touchdown was a Sooner donation. Grabbing pass directly from the outstretched hands of a Sooner back, Sauer raced away. Masterson placed kicked the first extra point, but his second try blocked. For three periods the Husker-Sooner battle was a toss up.

Twice did Ad Oklahomans reach within 30 yard line but they could not supply the essential punch. While the Sooners blocked the highly touted aerial attack of the Huskers, they could not consistently penetrate the line when yards meant a score.
