HOOSIER FARM LANDS $25 ACRE HIGHER IN YEAR U. S. Expert Shows Rate of Increase and Comparisons With Country at Large. WHEAT NOT SO WELL Farm land values in Indiana nave Increased $25 an acre over last year, according to a report Issued today by George C. Bryant of the Xntted States department of agriculture legislative reference bureau In the statehouse. The value of Indiana land today over the 1917 value Is 3*7 an acre. The average value of farm land for the state is $145 an acre for Improved land, sll3 for land without Improvements, SBO for poor plowlands and $l6O for good plow lands. The average value throughout the United States Is $99.2* for Improved land and $74.41 for unimproved land. OBOWIXO WHEAT NOT ENCOURAGING. The condition of the growing wheat crop in Indiana Is not very encouraging the report says, farmers to hold their old wheat. The reserve of corn on Indiana farms on March 1 was more than 10,000,000 bnahels greater than last year, and wheat reserve was more than 1,000,000 bushels greater, according to the report of Mr. Bryant's bureau, Issued today. The total for oats, however, shows a decrease of approximately 12,000,000 oushels, as compared with last year, and barley shows a decrease of about 100,000 bushels, although the percentage of all grains shipped out of the counties where grown in considerably less than the tenyear average. CORN RESERVES SHOW INCREASE. "Corn reserves on Indiana farms March 1 were 88 per cent of last year's crop and amount to 86.733,000 bushels compared with 56,100,000 bushels la 1919 and 82,6*8.000 bushels In 1918,” the report says. ‘‘The quantity to be or that has been shipped out of the counties where grown amounts to only 17 per cent of the total production, which Is 12 per cent below the ten-year average.. Principal among the reasons for this low per cent of shipments Is car shortage and local sales to fanners. The crop was one of the best ever produced, and notwithstanding the severe damage done by floods in the early fall. In the bottom lands of the south part of the state, the quality is considerably above the average and 88 per cent of the total Is merchantable. Reserves for the United States at this time amount to 1,092.095,000 bushels compared with 855.269.000 bushels in 1919 and 1.253,290,000 bushels In 1918. "The reserves of wheat March 1 were 18 per cent of last year’s crop and amount to 5,983.000 bushels compared with 4,943,000 bushels in 1919 and '4,680,000 bushels In ISIS. The condition of the growing crop, which at this time is not very encouraging, is causing many farmers to hold their old wheat.” $1 Haircut Coming; Baldies Get Even NEW YORK. March 10.—The dollar haircut Is In sight. Leon Worthall, general organizer of the Barbers* International union, said so today. He said: “The next Jump may be to 73 cents, then/ to a dollar.

DETROIT, March 10.—Detroit reds Incarcerated at Ft. Wayne have been on a hunger strike for two days, It became known today. More than 200 radicals are Involved, It was said. The action of the reds came Monday after federal officials had tightened the regulations governing visitors to the prisoners. The escape of five men from the stockade In the past few weeks was believed due to work of visitors. The strikers also refused to stoke the boilers which heat their quarters. The strikers will be allowed to meditate in cold hunger if that Is the way they feel about It, P. L. Prentls, chief Immigration officer, said.
