NEW HIGH MARK SET IN INDIANA CORNJROWING Harry Ayler, Brooksburg, Is Winner of Five-Acre Contest. Bv Timet Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Dec. 16.—A1l records in Indiana were broken again this year in the five-acre corn growing contest, when Harry Ayler, Brooksburg, Jefferson County, grew 152.53 bushels of corn per acre during the past season. This was the official announcement today by representatives of the Indiana Corn Growers Association which conducts the contest annually in cooperation with Purdue University. In winning this honor, in which 727 of Eoosierdom’s best corn growers were enrolled, Ayler returned the corn king title to Jefferson County, which won it in 1925, but lost it last year to Martin County. The previous high mark was made in 1925 by John Barnes, also of Jefferson Courty, with 143.99 bushels an acre. William Neukam, Martin County, the 1926 winner, with a yield of 129.14 bushels per acre, ranked second this year, when his officially measured yield was placed at 138.88 bushels.

Small Dollar Bills Due in City After February Some time after the New Year the dollar will be smaller in Indianapolis. This is one prediction that is sure to come true in a literal manner. Bankers have received word that “some time after February” the new currency, one dollar bills of decreased dimensions, will be put In circulation here. The bills, now being printed by the thousands at Washington, are six and five-sixteenths inches long and two and eleven-six-teenths inches wide. Present dollar bills are seven and one-fourth by three and one-eighth inches. Uncle Sam plans to save thousands by reduction of size, since twelve of the new bills can be printed out of a sheet that now provides only eight. Life of a bill is about eight months.

grower ranked third. He was James A. Demaree, with a yield of 138.21 bushels. # La Grange Man Fourth Northern Indiana placed fourth this year with a yield of 133.18 bushels made by C. I. Witsman, La Grange County. The remaining six of the high ten men in the entire state follow: John Barnes, 1925 champion’ from Brooksburg, fifth, 130.29 bushels; Warren Barnes, Brooksburg, sixth, 127.27 bushels; Elvin Jones, Shoals, seventh, 127.36 bushels; Roy Konkle, Brooksburg. eighth, 125.71 bushels; Lawson Moore, Brooksburg, ninth, 125.68 bushels; Lowell Moffitt, Knightstown, tenth, Rush County, 125.53 bushels. Ayler’s yield is based on No. 2 shelled com, as 79 pounds per bushel was used as representing the excess moisture at the time it

was inspected and weighed in early November by G. L. Korlin, Franklin, judge for the com growers’ association. “This is the largest yield of com it has ever been my privilege to see or check in the ten years I have worked as a five-acre judge in Indiana. A record has been made which it will be difficult to excel,” Kerlin said. Others to Get Medals Tabulation of figures just completed by M. O. Pence of the soils and crops extension division of Purdue University shows that of the 727 who completed the corn growing project, the second largest since the work started in 1914, the 329 will be awarded mtdals by the Com Growers’ Association for growing seventyfive bushels or more per acre. Gold medals for yields of 100 bushels or more per acre will go to sixty-seven men in twenty-three counties of

the State, Jefferson County leading all with twelve medals out of twen-ty-two who finished the project there. Gibson County is second in gold medal winners with eight. Silver medals for yields between eighty-five to 100 bushels will be awarded 145 growers in forty-eight counties, and bronze medals for seventy-five to eighty-five bushel yields will go to 147 growers in forty-four counties. Gibson with a total of twenty-seven medals, leads all counties of the State this year in number of medals won. Grant County Leads Grant County leads all others in Indiana in number completing the contest as started early in the season, sixty-three finishing there. Tippecanoe is second with fifty-four and Gibson third with fifty-three. A total of sixty-four counties carried on the five-acre project this year under auspices of the Com Growers’ Association which is headed by Homer Dice, Crawfordsvllle, president; R. L. Heilman, Hope, vice president, and Dr. G. I. Christie, Purdue University, secretary-treas-urer. The records made by these men are all the more remarkable when it is generally conceded that the past season was one of the most unfavorable to corn growing ever experienced by Indiana farmers.

FLOOD WASHED OUT CLAIM OF TOWNTO FAME Cambridge City Lead in Wayne County Until Disaster of 1874. B,u Vnitcd Press RICHMOND, Ind., Dec. 16.—Cambridge City would have been the greatest city in eastern Indiana today had it not been for the disastrous flood of New Year’s day, 1874, which practically destroyed the Whitewater canal passing through that city. At the time of the flood, Richmond and other Wayne County towns were struggling with Cambridge City—each trying to surpass the other in size and importance. Tills was the canal building age and many thousands of dollars were vainly used. Wayne County citizens decided e waterway in the direction of Cincinnati, Ohio, the chief city of the west, would put them in the forefront. The drainage was good in that direction. Tin far-fetched dream was to get a canal over tho mountains into the young but coming west. Cambridge City residents stated most sensible course of the

canal was south through their city and those of Richmond urged it should start in the western part of the country and pass through that city before going south. Disputes and compromises failed and finally the State Legislature in 1836 passed a bill providing state aid in construction of a canal from Hagerstown through Cambridge City. The canal was finished. The Richmond residents subscribed to a fund and started building a canal. By 1842, $400,000 had been subscribed and the company was ready to start work, but as expose showed more than $14,000,000 would be needed, Richmond’s plans were abandoned. Then came the terrible flood which wiped out the canal, ending Cambridge City’s dream of greatness. RULES ON ASSESSORS Attorney General Arthur Gilliom today issued an opinion stating that when a township assessor dies it is not necessary that his successor be of the same political faith. This was in answer to a question from J. J. Brown, chairman of the State tax board, which must approve the successor after he has been selected by the county assessor. A vacancy has occurred in Mor-
