HEAT RECORD FOR THE YEAR BROKEN FRIDAY.

All heat records for the year 1919 were smashed Friday when the mercury mounted the tube to the 101degree • mark. The previous high mark was 100. There has 'been a steady heat throughout the month and ppacticlailly every day has found the merIcury hovering between 90 and 100 degrees. Very little rain has fallen during this period and farmers are beginning to grow.fearful lest their yields will 'be greatly diminished lowing to the absence of rain. On the other hand, eastern and middle western States are reporting too .much rain. Com ite being the hardest hit in this county and the wheat crop ife also suffering. The ground is so dry that the soil is like powder, and those who have (tramped over (the fields will attest to the dryness because off the fine dust penetrating into their clothing and even to their skin. The weather foreclast for today a|nd Sunday is fair and warmer weather, but it is to ibe hoped that the weatherman is wrong in his predicitions and that an abundant rainflal will be our lot instead.

INDIANA FARMERS TRYING TO RAISE $200,000.

The officers off the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ Associations, who were authorized at a conference of farmers held in Indianapolis last week to start a campaign for $200,000.. with which to finance ganization for the next three years, have completed the task of working out details governing the \uotas to be made up by the various counties of the state. The work of raising this fund ate to be started at once by the county associations. W. H. Hickman, first vice-presi-dent of the federation and chairman of the executive committee, former pastor of the Delphi Methodist church, said three elements have entered into the fixing of an equitable basis. “The first thing we considered,” sfid Mr. Hickman, “was to determine the number of farms in the state whidh are. listed as being of five acres or more. We found that there art approximately 218,000, which means about $1 a farm will be the assessment when all are taken into consideration. In the second place we used this as a working basis and found that one-quarter of one mill on the assessed valuation of the farm land in each county would raise the fund and at the same time run parallel with the $1 a farm estimate. Third, we took the general prosperity of the county into Consideration and from all these faldts arranged the quotas.” Reports have been received from a number of the counties abating that they were ready to taike hold of the work of raising their quotas as soon as the figures were available. Accord&ng to the federation officers the plan off raising the fund, which will insure Indiana one of the strongest farmers’ organizations in the United States, is being met with approval tin all parts of the state. Considerable friendly rivalry Us expected to result among the vairiious county units for the honor off being the first in the state to “go over the top” with its quota.

KANSAS WHEAT CROP IS FALLING SHORT.

Topeka, Kas., July 25. —A decrease of more than 70,000,000 bushels in the Kansas wheat crop is shown in the July crop report of the Kansas state board of agriculture, issued tonight. The June report indicated a yield of 229,719,000 bushels las 'against a total' estimated production, balsed upon the threshing returns, of 158,999,200 bushels forecast today. Although the decline ffls keenly disappointing, the report the year’s crop is the second largest in the state’s-history, the 1914 output of 180,000,000 bushels only exceeding it. The chief reason for White failure was Ithe abrupt change from the wet, cool weather that prevailed Hast spring and summer, to the extremely high temperatures ten days or two weeks before harvest. An excess tof rain is also given as one of the chief causes for the poor showing made. On the state’s 4,358,000 acres of growing grain, the report says, the condition averages 79.9 per cent. This is a gain of 4.3 per cent in the laist mionth. * The indicated yield of oa£s is now 49,776,000 bushels, a decrease of 2,111,000 from the June estimiate. The estimated yield of potatoes is 5,518,000 bushels, or an average, of 98.7 butehdls per acre.

INDIANA ROAD CONSTRUCTION MAY BE DELAYED.

Indianapolis, July 25.—A suit to test the validity of the new county unit law will be filed within the next few days in the MU'dison circuit court iby Mialtson, Kane and Rose, attorneys of this city, representing George C. Forrey, Jr., vficepresident of Breed, EUhott and Harrison, dealers in investment securities. Announcement to that effect was made by Mr. Forrey today. Mir. Forrey, as a taxpayer of Madison county, will seek a restraining order to prevent the sale of am issue of bonds and to prevent the construction of a proposed road. This ds ithe first issue of 'bonds to be advertised under the new law and it is understood that virtually all the bond dealers in Indiana are in sympathy with the suit, as they feed that this class of bonds should be tested in the courts before they are offered flor sale to investors. The suit possibly will result in holding up all construction Work in Indiana proposed under the county unit law until it is decided by the supreme court, as it is the general practice off dealers in bonds not to buy securities that are in litigation. The action will be watched with much interest throughout the state, as a great deal of new work is plarmed under the county unit law.
