INDIANA'S CORN SUFFERS FROM LACK OF RAIN Condition Fails to Show Hoped Improvement Since July 1. Ru Timex S'nreiaJ LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Ang. 17.—Due to drought in many Indiana localities that caused damage to corn at the end of the month, prospects for the I crop on Aug. 1 failed to show the | expected improvement over its con- : dition on July 1, according to the monthly crop report issued by the Purdue university department of agriculture. Drought was most severe in counties along the Ohio river near the eastern border of the state, and in some of the counties of the southwest district. Counties near the headwaters of the Wabash were apparently least affected by the dry weather. On the whole, prospects Aug. 1 showed little change over the prospects July 1. The yield of winter wheat estimated at 16.5 bushels was close to earlier expectations. Wheat is reported generally good in the northern and central districts, but poor in the south. Oats are reported somewhat below expectations a j month ago. Threshing returns so | far have been disappointing and dry weather late in July was harmI ful to late oats in the northern districts. Barley is reported unchanged in July, while rye 9 is reported threshing out less tfian expected with an average yield of thirteen bushels an acre. The dry weather was favorable for harvesting hay, but reduced alfalfa prospects and seems to have injured other hay yields slightly. Pasture conditions declined slightly in the north, and went down sharply in the south. However, for the state as a whole, it is still better than the average for Aug. 1, Potatoes and sweet potatoes showed little change in July, while the tobacco condition declined sharply in the southeast burley section, with little change elsewhere. Due in part to the drought, apple conditions also declined sharply. MOTHER OF 13 DIES Hartford City Woman. 41, Married 19 Years. Bn Times Special HARTFORD CITY.
