: TALKS Dll WHEAT —e—o! j. Records Show That Wheat ir Planted by Indiana Farm* lt ers This Year is 32% i LESS THAN LAST YEAR tr Early and Late Wheat is Poor, While That Sown ie • in Between is Fine J.. Imlluuapplia, ind. The wheat n planted this full by Indiana fanners is 32 per cent. les3 tlian the amount ' r planted last fall and approximates a reduction of 922,nn0 acres according to the report issued today n by the Co-operative Crop Reporting Service for Indiana. The early sown 1-. wheat is full of Hessian fly and some ie of the late sown is in very poor con's dition, while that sown between the fly-free dates aud November first is j, in very good condition. The rye g. acreage has been reduced 10 per cent., as compared with last year, ,j. and amounts to 38,800 acres. The r condition is about average for this time of the year. Only a few of the larger commercial orchaids had any apples for shipment out of the county this year, and fall plowing' was materially delayed because of :-orn husking operations, the drought rt in the north part of the state in the lt early fall and rains and floods in the r<: south part. Farm wages for labor by the month shows an increaso of ir about 15 per cent, over last year; a wages of harvest hands show an increase of 22 per cent, and for other w farm labor an increase of .5 per cent. An average of 16.2 cords of wood is k' shown to have been consumed by , B each farm, the value of which is esi, irnated at $4.22 per cord. The rep port follows: In no county was there as much Br wheat planted this fall as last, and ’or the state as a whole, the decrease , t imounts to 22 per cent. The preliminary estimate of a'-reage plantid this fall is 1,960,000 acres comr pared with 2,882,00-: acres last year. (r One of the principal factors relating 'o this shortage was the droughty llf condition in all parts of the state 11 during August and September when el the soil was so dry and hard it was almost impossible to prepare it for It seeding. In some of the southern uc counties where it was possible to id prepare the soil rains set in before nr seeding was commenced and stopped o: work along that *ine until too late. Quite a number of the fields that had tr been prepared for wheat were seeded to rye because of the lateness of the t ,. season. The question of price fixV ing also had a bearing on the matter. On the other hand many of the large farmers wlto have not grown ’<?f C any wheat for several years have substantial acreages at this time. The condition of the crop is very I ** spotted. The early sown wheat in ias all parst of the state is badly infest--le ed with Hessian fly and fields that looked very promising early in the os- season aro practically gone now; he some of the very late planted is not yet up and because of the lateness sx- of the season can not make much of •0,- a crop, while that portion of the crop rts planted after the fiy-free dates and before November lirst is in splendid condition with a good color and strong, healthy looking plants. The average for the state is <9 per cent, of normal. The -rye situation generally is much the same as wheat except that rye lias been planted iri quite a number of fields in (lie southern part of l )( , the state that had been prepared for wheat. No insect damage is reported and the condition at this time of the M year is about average, being 92 per cent, of normal. The preliminary csis 346,000 acres, which is 10 per cent, less than was planted last g- a™ When others fail to relieve b Coughs, Colds or Bronchitis, try the old standard Cough Medicine DR.

year. f i’he portion of the apple crop for t the state us a whole, shipped out of t the counties where grown is es- \ timated at 4 per cent., and is the lowest for many years. Not all of the commercial orchards and practically none of the farm orchards 1 produced any apples this year. ' Fall plowing for spring planting < has been materially delayed in some < sections of the state because farmers have been unable U> secure 1 help and felt that husking their 1 corn crop was of more importance. 1 Droughty conditions in August and September also delayed the work in the north part of the state while rains and floods delayed lt in the 1 south part. Only 20 per cent of the work is estimated to be completed at | this time. Wages of farm labor have increased 15 per cent, since last spring 1 for labor hired by the month, the state average now being $38.60 with board and $53.30 without board. For harvest work an average of $3.62 per day with board and $4.42 per day without hoard was paid which is an increase of approximately 22 per cent, over last year. For labor other than for harvest work the average rate for the state at this time is $2.55 per day with board and $3.21 per day without board, an increase of about 25 per cent. The average number of cords of wood consumed on the farms of Indiana is reported at 16.2 during the year and is valued at $4.22 per cord. This low value is due to the fact | that most of the wood was used for cooking purposes and was made from fallen trees and other waste timber! on the farms.
