J. H. Armington, of the U.

Light rains, cooling winds and I overcast skies had relieved Hoos-1 iers during the last 24 hours from j I the searing heat wave which has caused the heath of nearly 300 Hoosiers since July 4.

Six guards in blue shirts rushed I forward to surround the wheel chair as though deliberately to | conceal the unconscious woman. Two guards lifted her into the electric chair. Warden Lewis E.

TORN OUTLOOK IN STATE FAIR ♦ I Fairly Optomistic Outlook For Indiana Corn Crop Igifayette, Ind., July 17—(U.PJAlthough estimates of drought damage to Indiana’s corn crop mounted to $12,000,000, a survey today revealed a comparatively optomistic outlook for thn crop I among Hoosier farmers. I Immediate heavy rains and good | growing weather for the rest of the season will save the bulk of I the crop, it was reported. Indiana farmers seeded approxi-| mately 4.200,000 acres to corn this , spring and an average yield would approximate 35 to 37 bushels an acre. It is estimated the drought will strip four or five bushels from the average yield per acre. The outlook for a successful wheat crop is better than it was a month ago, farmers reported. ; They forecast a yield of 15 bushels an acre and a total crop of 27,600.000 bushels, which is lower than last year. While corn and wheat have stood the drought in good shape, the oats crop has been so badly harmed that it will not produce half the normal yield. Damage to forage crops has also been heavy and the resulting loss , of feed to farm animals is expect- | ed to bring about a reduction in the state’s dairy herds and slaughter stock. The situation has already been reflected in the in- ( creases and proposed increase in . milk prices throughout the state. The potato crop will be very ' short, growers reported. The drought also has cut heavily into garden produce. o TAX COLLECTION .totaling $1,614,922 and $1,221,458 respectively, showed a combined decrease of approximately $300,000 as compared with the total collected in 1935. Other collections includes automobiles and parts, $1,800,430; mechanical refrigeration, $1,677,192; capital stock. $1,128,875; and electrical energy tax, $751,719. All showed increases over the previous year. - Q UNION PROTESTANT ™2. v Tl v J’ F ' r ' PAr;T?: church of Berne, and the Rev. H. F.
