July Crop Report For Indiana Made.

The weather of the month was favorable ty all crops except fruit. The corn crop shows the largest acreage in the history of the state. The early planted looks exceptionally good and the late planted is coming along in fine shape. Wheat continued to show improvement and is headed out in much better shape than was anticipated. Oats are heading out well and the prospect now is for one of the largest crdps ever produced in the state. commercial acreage of potatoes does not appear to be quite as large as last year, but with the great number of small gardens set out the total acreage shows a material increase and the prospect for a large crop is good at this time. The hay crop shows a slight improvement over last month, although many of the fields continue to show plenty of whitetop, mustard and other weeds.
