INDIANA CORN CROP IS POOR Excessive Heat And Long Drought Cause Drop Os 28 Points Lafayette, Ind., Aug. 15. <U.R> Excessive heat and long drought caused a drop of 28 points in the condition of Indiana's corn crop during July, lite Purdue University agricultural extension reported today In its monthly bulletin as of August I. Production of 111,300,000 bushels for the state was indicated on Aug. 1. as compared to 127,263,000 last year and five-year average of 116,379,000 bushels, the report said.
