Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 160, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 July 1911 — Wheat Crop of Indiana Of Small Average. [ARTICLE]

Wheat Crop of Indiana Of Small Average.

Reports from all counties of the state regarding crop conditions show that the wheat is very near an average in yield and quality, the average per acre being about fifteen bushels and the grain plumb and good. The acreage was smaller than last year, and this will make a difference on the yield. The oats crop is the poorest for years and much of it will not be harvested at all, the stalks being too short to be caught by the mowers. Owing to the dry weather, the corn is not in the best of condition,-but it has not been permanently Injured and with seasonable rains the crop should be large. The pea pack was small owing to dry weather, but sweet corn and tomatoes both promise well.
