Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 July 1905 — FROM “OLD MISSOURI.” [ARTICLE]

FROM “OLD MISSOURI.”

Writing The Democrat under date of June 24, in reveiwing his subscription, our former well known citizen, Thomas Randle, now of Sumner, Mo., says; We have lots of good things in Missouri. Our oats were all sown in March and the greater portion of our corn planted in April. I never planted corn before in April. This year I began planting on the 17th and many others planted before that. We had a very early spring. Our corn is being “laid by” now, wheat is all cut and oats will be cut this coming week; a great many of them cut now. We have a fine prospect for oats and the prospect for corn was never better. We have a world of fine corn, as fine as eyes ever saw, and if it will rain some will have a big crop. It is very dry here now and our pastures short and dry and our meadows are very short. It was dry all winter and spring. Wheat here is good. We have in our neighborhood one man who owns 5,000 acres of fine valley land on which he has 800 acres of very fine wheat and 3,000 acres of corn now growing. We have been blessed with fine weather but a little too dry. If we get sufficient rain from now on we will raise a hummer corn crop. Yours Respectfully, Thomas Randle Bring in your eggs, highest prices paid. Fendig’s Fair. New styled oxfords in tan or in black, lace or button, Murray’s Removal Sale,
