Indiana Crop Summary.

The month as a whole has been helpful to v/heat, oats and grass crops, but corn, fruit and vegetables did not fare so well, rain, hail and tornadoes having done considerable damage in some sections. In the south part of the state thewheat shows 'marked improvement, but not so much in other sections. Some fields are quite thin, but the pliant is strong and thrifty, and yields of from four to forty bushels per acre are indicated. Tn the northwest section the oats acreage is not materially changed, hut in the wheat growing sections of the north the increase is very noticeable. Rains during the last two weeks have been very benficilal to the oats crop and fields are now showing up in fine shape. Rye shows about the same as last month. The harvest will start in about three weeks in the south part of the state. The hay crop and pastures have developed considerably during the month; also an abundant supply of veeds in the meadows and clover fields. Present indications do not point to a bumper crop of apples or peaches, Tain, hail and cool weather having injured nearly alLof the fruit crops.
