BUMPER CROPS IN LAST YEAR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) During the past year the state had 4.555,000 acres of corn, which produced a crop of 168,535,000 | bushels, which was worth only $47,190,000. In 1929, with only 131,473,000 bushels the crop was worth $97,564,000. With more than half a million acres of soybeans this year, the crop in seed and hay is estimated to be worth not much more than half of the estimated value of the crop two years ago. The bumper crop of wheat the

past season, the largest in 65 years, I was worth nine and one-half million dollars less than the crop two years ago. a decrease of about onethird. Similar conditions existed in the fruit situation, with the largest crop of apples and peaches on record. The decline in the hog market | the past few months hit Hoosier farmers hard ' because Indiana is ] one of the leading states in pork ’ production. However, the ratio of corn and hog prices has not been ' a bad one and the man who has . had his own hogs and corn, has i not felt the pinch as badly as the i man who bought either one or both ■ 'of these standard market products. . This has brought out the soundness i of extension workers' efforts during the past few years—for farm- ( Qrs to raise their own hogs and a. , much of their own feed as p ssilde.! I Generally ab' -:t '.!p<- cent cf thcorn grown m Ir diatu :s mar; eteii . through livestock: only' about If, per cent is sold as grain. ■ In contrast with these products. I

[the price of eggs, poultry and dairy products have held comparatively well the past year and, as was pointed out a year ago by Purdue university economists! have offered the best opportunity for the farmer during 1931. Even economists disagree as to 'the immediate outcome of this or [that question related to the agricultural situation, but all have come to the conclusion that conditions in distant countries effect American crops and livestock to no small degree. This is largely due to modern methods of transportation, refrigeration and com- [ munication. In the present situation, Hoosier farmers have come more and more I to realize that the s’olution >.if their | problems is to a large extent de pendent upon their individual ef- ' forts to reduce production costs [per unit >-■ yrodnmng higher qua l - i ty proc. : is, i oetter marketiilg methods, lower taxes, and making only necessary expenditures. These! I points have provoked much thought I

among farm leaders and dirt farmers as they realize that low prices of farm products may continue for several years, or until the entire world readjusts itself and conditions revert to normal. 1931 BOON FOR GOOD WEATHER (I NUED FROM PAGE ONE) winter and prevailed throughout November and December. Football followers and golfers, on the oth|tr hand, enjoyed one of the best autumns in history. Weather was | ideal for gridiron activities on [every Saturday but two, and links were busy right up until Christmas eve. According to statistics compiled by J. 11. Armington, senior meteorilogmt at the U. S. weather bureau hen, 1931 was an unusually hot year. Unseasonably warm temperatures in November and December [brought the year’s average to a I point near the all-time record of

56.4 degrees, established in 1921. Several other barometric features made the year an interesting one from a meteorological standpoint, Armingston said. Throughout the year, and increasing as the months progressed, the mercury remained above average of other years. The first part of 1 1931 was not as warm as the reclord year of 1921, but beginning [with August, ! was considerably hotter. The last effects of the disastrous [1930 drought were swept away as ‘the year closed, Armington disclosed. The subsoil, judging from conditions of streams, has regained its j full content of moisture and the [earth is in a normal state for the I first time in two years as far as [precipitation is concerned. ArmingJton said. Rainfall during the year was [ about 35 inches. The yearly normal is 39.90. During the first eight months the precipitation was under average, but after August it in-[ [ creased.

Snow was recorded twice in November and about the same number of times in December. The usual December snowfall is six inches. Five times in November the mercury dipped to below freezing, but at no time did it remain there long . Another barometric quirk was that February was warmer than March and June was warmer than August, a freak occurrence, Armington said. o Amethyst Once Believed Charm Worn as an amulet or charm, an amethyst for centuries was held, to ward off the evil of witchcraft. “If the name of the sun or moon were’ engraved on it,” says a recent writer, “and the stone hung about the neck from the hair of a baboon or the feather of a swallow, it’s wearer would be safe from hailstorms as well as intemperance.”— Gas I ogic. —o Decatur vs. Portland, Friday night, D.H.S. gym. 2t
