CROP ESTIMATE (Lain Reports Show Corn and Wheat Reserve on Indiana Farms has GREATLY INCREASED Oats and Barley Take a a Slump—Farm Lands Show an Increase Indlitnnpollr, hid. Mar. II The reserves uh corn on Indiana farms on Marell 1. wire more than 10.000,0dd bushels greater than last year, and wheat reserve.-, were more than 1,000 • ,000 bushels yi eater, according to (he report of the co-operative crop reporting service for Indiana, issued toduv. The tolal for oats, however, shows a decrease of approximately 12,000.000 bushels as compared with last year and barley shows a decrease of about HlO.OilO bushels, although the percentage of nil grain shipped out of the counties where grown is considerably less than the ten-year average. The average value of improved farm land sliows an increase of $25 per acre over last year and $4 7 per acre over the value in 1910. The report follows: Corn reserves -on Indiana farms March I were 38 per cent of last year's crop and amount to 60,785.000 bushels compared with 56.100,000 bushels in 191!) and 82 646,000 bushels compared with 56.100'<)0<) bushels in 1911) ’and 82,646,000 bushels in 1918. The quantity to be or that has been shipped out of the counties whore grown amounts to only 17 per cent of the total production, which is 12 per cent below the ten-year average. Principal among the reasons for this low percent of shipments is car shortage and local sales to farmers. The crop was one of the best ever produced, and

notwithstanding the severe damage done by floods in the early fall, in the bottom lands of the south part of the state, the quality, is considerably above the average and 88 per cent of the total is merchantable. Reserves for the United States at this time amounts to 1.092,095,000 bushels compared with 855,269 000 bushels in 1919 and 1,253,290,000 bushels in 1918. The reserves of wheat March 1, were 13 per cent of last year’s crop and amount to 5,983.000 bushels compared with 4,943,000 bushels in 1919 and 4:680,000 ’ bushels in 1918. The condition of the growing crop, which at this time is not very encouraging, is causing many farmers to hold their old wheat. Shipments out of the counties where grown amount to 60 per cent this year compared with 54 per cent (or the ten-year average. Reserves for the United States amount to 165 539,000 bushels compared with 128,703,000 bushels last year and 107,745,000 bushels in 1918. The reserves of oats March 1. were 29 per cent of last year’s crop and amount to 17.465.000 bushels compared with 29.768,000 bushels in 1919 and 29.723.000 bushels in 1918. The total production last year was somewhat less than usual and considerably more was fed on the farms than is usully the case because of the wide discrepancy between the price of oats and corn, consquently shipments out of the counties where grown are only 29 per cent of the total production this year compared with 43 per cent for the ten-year averages. Reserves for the United States amount to 422,815 000 bushels compared with 590,251.000 bushels last year and 599.208,000 bushels in 1918. The barley reserves on March 1, were 18 per cent of last year’s crop and amount to 257,000 bushels compared with 370,000 bushels in 1919 and 267,000 bushels in 1918. Barley- is raised almost entirely as a feed crop in Indiana, and is confined principally to a few counties of the northeastern part. Although the acreage and production was greater la t year than is usually the case the quantity shipped out of the counties where grown amounted to only 9 per cent compared with 24 per cent for the tenyear average Reserves for the United States amount to 38.010.000 bush-

els compared with 81,746 000 bushels in 1919 and 44.419,000 bushels in 1918. laand values in nil sections of the state show a decided Increase ove r last year and nearly a . r >o per cent incresc over the values in 1916. For the state as a whole, the average value per acres for farm land, with improvements. is $145; without improvements, $113; poor plow lands, $80: good plow lands. $150: and average plow lands, sll9. The average value per acre March 1, 1929. for the United States is as follows: laind with improvements, $99.24; land without improvements $74 41: por plow lands, $60.76; good plow lands. $113.35; average plow lands, $90.01. —_ - Mrs. Lloyd George is now a Justice of the Peace.
