CROP OUTLOOK
‘6000’ DESPITE
Most Yields Above Normal, But Season Is Late, Abbott Reports.
(Continued from Page One)
situation made by Mr. Abbott in- | clude: New seedings of alfafa, red clover | and sweet clover are doing excep- | tionally well. | Yield of oats is expected to be owe JS A normal yield of the light seedings of oats made as an earth crop with alfafa and clover, also is predicted. Barring an early frost the corn crop will be good. Weather conditions have been favorable. Apples and small fruit prospects are the best in several years.
Tomatoes Above Normal
Weight loss in wheat due to rust has amounted to between 15 and 20 per cent, Mr. Abbott said, and if the rust had not developed, the
wheat crop would have been far above normal.
Although tomatoes are above normal, he said the market price of commercial vegetables fluctuates so much faster than price of farm crops that even the favorable weather, responsible for the good crop, will not necessarily mean a marked increase in the income from commercial vegetable growers. An unusually good crop tends to decrease the general wholesale price level, Mr. Abbott said. Cabbage is wholesaling for as little as 35 cents | a bushel, while last year at this time growers were receiving as much as $1.25, it was pointed out. Income from bean sales barely will cover harvest costs, Mr. Abbott added.
Peaches Encouraging
Considering that the setbacks to peach trees during the cold winter kills of 1935 and 1936, the yield this year will be remarkably good, he said. The tomato and vegetable harvest is expected to get under way in the next few days. The crop has such a favorable outlook that Mr. Abbott said he would not be surprised to see canning factories begin production two weeks earlier than usual this summer. He said that some of the local canneries probably would begin operations the last of this month. Enlarging on the oats crop forecast, Mr. Abbott said that the yield from this grain would be as high as 50 bushels an acre. The wheat rust was described as of two kinds, red and black. Mr. Abbott said red rust®appears in small amounts every year, but the present attack from the black stem variety is the first in five years. He held weather conditions responsible. Mr. Abbott said he had been informed by Purdue University experts that the black rust has been carried here from great distances by the wind. Some has come from as far as Texas, he said. Evidence of black rust has been noted in all sections of the country. The rust saps the life of the wheat plant, shriveling the grain, Mr. Abbott explained. The rust began developing the middle of June.
30 Million Dollar State Wheat Crop Predicted
Despite a 10,000,000-bushel loss due to red rust, the Indiana wheat crop is expected to be 80,000,000 bushels this year. An approximate value of $30,000,000 is forecast for Hoosier farmers by Everett E. Allison. Indianapolis Board of Trade president. Original estimates of 40,000,000 bushels were reduced after red rust hit the northern part of the state, he said., Mr. Allison pointed out that the five-year average crop is 28,000,000 bushels.

TAX OFFICIALS FIND PFISTER CONFUSING
Paul A. Pfister, assistant U. 8. District Attorney, is considering changing his handwriting before he begins paying taxes twice this year. The dilemma began last year when the Marion County Treasurer's office, unable to decipher his spelling of a last name, placed him ir the “¥Y” list which would make him “Mr. Yister.” “I paid taxes as ‘Pfister’ but I was ‘Yister’ to them and all because in writing I ran the ‘p’ and ‘f’ together, which maybe to some would. look like a ‘y,’” he added.

Temperatures above 90 were forecast for most of the region between the Rockies and the Atlantic. Forecasters said a mass of cool air was moving slowly from the West, but that it would bring little relief.
