CORN IN INDIANA INDICATES SMALL YIELDjNCREASE Other Crops Are Much Better Than Last Year, Report Shows, Acreage of corn in Indiana is 1 per cent greater this year than last, according to the crop report of the United States Department of Agriculture cooperating with the Indiana Legislative Reference Bureau, at the Statehouse today. The potato crop is 2 per cent greater and tobacco 22 per cent greater, the report shows. Soy beans and cow peas also show a material increase in acreage. Corn acreage in Indiana totals approximately 4,813,000 acres. Flood conditions in the southwestern part of the State kept farmers from working their fields, which caused a decrease in acreage, the report shows. Late spring prevented oats seeding and part of this acreage went into com. Increase Is Slight The condition of com July 1 was S5 per cent of normal, indicating a total production of 178,779,000 bushels, compared with 176,305,000 for last year. The stand in the northern part of the State is fairly good, while chinch bugs and cutworms are destroying some southern crops, the report says. The winter wheat crop in Indiana, July 1, was 85 per cent of normal, indicating a yield of 34,201,000 bushels, compared with 29,754,000 for last year. Few reports of insect damage have been received, but the severe hot spell during the week of June 18 caused many fields to ripen prematurely, thereby destroying the head of the grain. The spring wheat crop 6howed 80 per cent of normal, indicating a yield of 6,4000 bushels. Oats Gain Big. Oats July 1 showed 80 per cent of normal, forecasting a yield of 63,923,000, compared with 28,770,000 for last year. Chinch bugs are reported in a few localities and the hot weather did considerable damage in the northern section. Tabulations on other crops follow: Barley 77 per cent normal; 946,000 bushels; last year, 714,000. Rye, 89 per cent normal; 4,149,000 bushels; last year, 3,816,000. Potatoes, 91 per cent normal; 6,416,000 bushels; last, year. 6,624,000. Tobacco increase, 22 per cent normal; 21,340,000 pounds; last year, 16,200,000. The sweet potato yield is somewhat less than last year, while a slight increase is noted in small fruits and truck crops. Reports indicate a larger yield in apples, while the peach crop has decreased considerably.
KIDS GAMBLE FOR CANDY Police Clean Up Slot Machines in Brooklyn. NEvv YORK, July 11.—Brooklyn police are carrying on a campaign against grocery, drug and confectionery stores in the borough which are attracting the patronage of Brooklyn children by candy lottery machines. According to an official at Brooklyn police headquarters, many complaints have been forthcoming from parents that the candy machines are developing “a gambling spirit among the children.” More than 500 of these machines have been confiscated by the police during the last two weeks. No arrests have been made, but the drive against the machines will be carried on and any found in Brooklyn will be seized. In the device, if a penny falls into a certain slot it is returned together with a supply of candy. CARS TO BE REROUTED Riverside Line Will Be Changed Beginning Thursday Morning. Temporary rerouting of the Riverside car line will be effective Thursday morning. Cars will be inbound on Washington St. to Illinois St., south on Illinois St. to Maryland St., west on Maryland St. to Capitol Ave., north on Capitol Ave. to Washington St., west on Washington St. The change is due to congestion caused by repairing Illinois St. tracks between Washington St. and Ohio St. AUTO ACCESSORIES TAKEN Tiree and license Plate Stolen From Parked Cars.
