Smaller Wheat Crop Harvested In State Slightly More Thon Half Os 1941 Crop Lafayette. Ind.. July 20. — Indiana's current wheat crop of 1,205,* ' mm acres. yielding an average of H> bushels per acre, produced 19.2*".000 bushels or only 56 percent of last year’s crop. It was reported t< day by the Purdue university agricultural statistics department .md the U. S. bureau of agricul'tir al economics. Citing some of the reasons for the smaller wheat crop in Indiana, the crop r< port explained that prospects declined in June by two htwheis per acre and that an additional 111.000 acres had been aban- | doped since May 1. Hessian fly inif* station caused extensive damage i in the central wpd west central dlsi tricts of the Rule. Wet weather ■ at harves in the southern district flooded ome low tl'Ms with the mud rendering the opeiation of harvest machinery difficult. Tough ■ traw 'owered the efficiency of combine threshing with resultant small yields. Also, there was some damage to the quality of the grain from high moisture and sprouting. The crop report, reflecting conditions in Indiana as of July 1, showed a corn crop of l itltl.ooo acres or four iiercent mote than last year. Despite som Weedy fle’ds and wet spots, the condition was said to be high, foretasting a H-biishel yield per acre or only one bushel below last year's yield The crop was expectttl to produce ixti.tmi.omt bushel r three million bushels more than last year ami 2<> million more than the 1930-31* average. The oattt for harvest were cstlmated Io < <>v-r 1.39H.000 acres or lx percent more than last year, while the high yield of 10.5 bushels l>er acre was expected to make 56,060,000 bushels or five percent more than last year and 38 percent more than average Hye was cxj pet tetl to yield 11.5 bushels on 111 mm acres or 2 ttss.ooo bushels. |Th acre age of rye harvested was II percent larger than last year but the yield was one bushel per acte lower. The a< rcage of all soybeans has now teached the r-cord total of I .71 t'tm acrea in Indiana, which Is 1. percent more than last year anil 2l't js iient of tin IR3O-31* average.
