Wheat Backward In Some Areas, Department Finds Winter wheat has deteriorated somewhat since the middle ot the month, except In some sections of the Southwest and on the Pacific Coast, according to the semi.monthly crop notes of the United States Departmen of Agriculture. Wheat backward in most of the areas, has suffered from drought in some localities and from heavy rains and floods in others. Chinch bugs are reported at work in many localities and Hessian flies and green bugs are increasing in numbers. Harvesting lias begun in the southwest where stalks are short but heads are well tilled. The condition of rye is generally good, is heading quite generally and is ready for harvest in the southwest. Spring grains differ greatly in condition. Spring wheat is mostly up to good stands but is making a slow growth, Some seeding still in progress in the Northwest. Oats average no better than fair in condition and need warmer weather and sunshine as a rule. There is considerable lodging in the southern areas. Harvesting is already under way in the south. Stands are poor in many localities though they are excellent over large areas. Barley is generally in excellent condition though injured to some extent by freezing in the Northwest and by drought in in sec-

tions of California. Flax in the northwest has suffered some damage, relatively unimportant. Rice sowing continues. The crop is late and soil conditions unfavorable but the early sown is generally looking well. The planting of corn is still in progress and lias been delayed considerably by rains. Early planted is inclined to be weedy and stands are quite uneven and color poor in many southern areas. The cotton crop is backward and is showing considerable deterioration of late in the South Atlantic States where replanting is being done over a large area. Growth lias been retarded by rains and cool weather ovei large areas of the Gulf' and Southwestern States, The weevil is reported from many areas and there has been considerable damage done by worms and grasshoppers. Transplanting of tobacco Is in full progress, slants are late but are apparently plentiful in most areas. Rain has caused some delay and operations are somewhat backward. An increase of acerage over last year seems certain. Early potatoes are generally doing well in the trucking and commercial areas of the South though growth has been slow in numerous localities due unusually cool weather, They now need rain in many sections. Planting is in progress in many northern areas. The transplanting of sweet potatoes is well advanced in most areas. On the whole the outlook for fruits is good. Preaches suffered severly earlier in the season from freezing but showing improvement of late. Apples tire promising well as a rule although in ochards along th So Atlantic coast there has been rather heavy drop of late and the prospects there are not the best. In the states on the north Pacific coast a heavy drop of plums, pears and cherries is in progress. Due to a cool late spring the growth of the grasses has been slow and meadows and pastures are short over the whole country, in most areas, rain and warm weather are needed. Clover has been badly killed in numerous sections but alfalfa has done well and first cuttings are generally making good yields. Livestock is in good condition with but little disease existing in any area. § JtoUMi ojiccaUX p Here is your opportunity to insure •• against embarrassing errors in spelling, S.

. DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, JUNE 11- 1923.

Cattle are thinner than usual duo to short and late pasturage but are now rapidly fattening. Truck crops are generally doing well though in many cases they have been slow in development due to cool weather. The broomcorn harvest in the Southwest has begun and the acreage of grain sorghums in this section will probably be increased though much replanting must be done due to flood damage. Sugar cane conditions arc now generally good and sugar beets promise a larger acreage than last year. The shortage of farm labor still continues and is seriously affecting field activities in many states. — .

The birthday party started here, and then fourteen young people went on a hay ride to Hindostan Falls, on White River, near Shoals. All members of the party went in

Al Smith in signing the repealer to the New York prohibition law was launched today by F. A. Maynard, executive secretary of the Federated Baptist churches of Indiana. “There have been men whom history linked up with treason, and in this country we associated the name of Benedict Arnold with it,” ho said. “Yet there are men who are acting against the enforcement of our basiclaw, the Eighteenth amendment. “It is unfortunate in an hour like this to hear some desire to fall back.” o ■ — ■ Van Swerigan Railroads To Undergo Improvements Cleaveland, 0., June 11—Initial expenditures Cor new equipment and improvements for tho Van Swerigancontrolled Nickle Plate Road will amount to $11,382,500, it was announced here today.by J.

In addition to the equipment provided tor the 1923 budget the road has already placed in seiWice 500 of the one thousand automobile ears ordered in 1928. The automobile cars

were ordered in expectation of an extroadlnary activity In automobile output which materialized in April when nil records in the automobile field were surpassed, the output In that month being 365,000 cars aud trucks as against 353,000 in March, Mr. Bernet said. The three constituent roads of the consolidated Nickle Plate will share in the 1923 budget. The program calls for extensive betterments on the main Nickle Plate division and the Lake Erie & Western aud Clover Leaf divisions. Thirty-two miles ot the second track will be laid and new and heavier tracks placed at various points iu order to accommodate the Pacific and Mikado locomotives which are included iu the new equipment ordered.

I The budget provides for complete though gradual rejuvenation of the ' Lake Erie & Western and Clover Leaf ' and their development as intensive 1 carriers like the original Nickle Plate ' which has long been celebrated for ’ the density of its traffic movement. ‘ The new locomotives of the Pacific ’ and Mikado types, have necessitated 5 boosters, automatic stokers, heavier rails, enlarged round houses and terminal facilities and reinforced bridge . and culvert work at various points along the western part ot the system. —o ■- 1 Competitive Bidding For 1 Labor Thing Os Past i I (United Press Service) Indianapolis, June 11 —Competitive bidding for skilled labor is a tiling of tlie past in Indiana,. Members of the Associated Build i ing contractors of Indiana have agreed to this, and also to encourage schools to teach the building trades in order that the labor supply may be ' increased. More than the union scale has been ' offered workers of special proficiency in tlie past by some contractors who 1 took workers from other contractors! in tills way. From now on, the mem hers agree, no more than the union 1 ; scale will be paid. The building boom lias resulted in a serious shortage of labor J. H.
