FARMEKS INVITED ■To Attend Decatur Chautauqua — The Program Will Suit Every One GET TICKETS NOW After First Seven Hundred Are Sold the Price Will Go to $2.50 Interest in the Decatur chatuauqua is developing rapidly'and it seems at this time that the attendance will be the largest in years. The farmers of the surrounding community have made many inquiries the last few days as to the program, and the management assures all that this year's program will be especially pleasing to all. ' The musical numbers are highly entertaining, and are of a varied nutur •, hence will suit all. The addresses by • some of the foremost men of the country are alone worth the price o p the season ticket, and in this age of living and thinking the brains of the farmers are needed just as much as those of the manufacturer and professional man, and the farmers of Adams county are invited and urged to attend every session of the Decatur Chautauqua, the opening date being Tuesday, July 27, and the closing number on Saturday, July 31. It is quite likely the 700 tickets local people agreed to sell will be gone before the opening day, but these can be secured now for $2.00, plus the war tax. After these 700 are gone the price will be $2.50. By single admission the cost will be three times the price of the season ticket. And we know if yon once get started you will be on hand to hear every number. So buy the sea son tickets.

CORN PROSPECT In Indiana at This Time is of the Very Best—The Weather is Ideal RAIN IS STILL NEEDED In Some Sections, Especially Western Counties— Oats Harvesting Indianapolis, July 3. A summaiy of weather and crop conditions in Indiana for the week ending Tuesday, by J. H. Armington, of the Indianapolis weather bureau, follows - Some showers occurred during the first two days of the week, but the remainder of the period was dry, with bright sunshine. The cool weather which had been the rule during the previous week continued until Monday, when a warm wave set in. While the low temperatures did not promote the most rapid growth of corn, yet this crop advanced remarkably well and is in excellent condition everywhere. The crop, however, now needs rain generally in the western section of the state, especially in fields which were planted late. Rain is needed also in western counties for potatoes, young clover and most gar den truck, but the condition of the soil with respect to moisture is better in most eastern sections. Wheat will be harvested in the southern, counties and begun through the central part b> July 9. Practically non 1 of that harvested lias yet been thrashed, but it varies from average to very light. In a few northern localities, particularly, the crop is practically a failure. Oats 1 will be ready to cut in the southern districts in about -ten days. Buckwheat seeding has begun Northern cherries and southern peaches are reported a fine crop, but there are some complaints of apples dropping. Some ( daniage from hail wan reported from Randolph. Adams and Carrol counties. The review of the national weath]er and crop conditions by the Department of Agriculture says: I Mostly moderate temperature pre- ( vailed although it was too cool for corn and most, truck in the northwest, j Rainfall was mostly* local in chart acter, and some‘interior areas are j badl» in need of moisture Corn im proved with more favorable weather conditions in the central and western producing states, bit the weather continued too coo! in eastern dis tricts, while more moLtire is needed in the central Mississippi valley. I Winter wheat harvest progressed ur. ’ der very favorable weather conditions. • while the weather favored the (level . opment of the crop in the more uor; item sections, especially in the upper I great lains and upper Mississippi ; valley. | Spring wheat made very good to excellent progress generally and is in very satisfactory condition in most sections of the belt except in some southeastern districts where it is rather unsatisfactory. Oats, barlev and other small grains were favorably , affected by the weather in central and northern sections, although oats ma le , only slow growth in portions of the Ohio valley, and are heading short i.. | much of the upper Mississippi valley. Potatoes and most true’.- crops: generally showed satisfactory devel- | opment while pastures and ranges] i improved, except in some central and southeastern districts where copious i rains are needed.
