SURVEY SHOWS INDIANA CROPS ABOVE AVERAGE

State Farmers to Have One ‘Of Best Yields in Years, Expert Predicts.

(Continued from Page One) state, compared to 1.118,000 bushels last year.

Potatoes were 83 per cent of nor- | mal or 2 points above the average. |

Mr. Justine characterized the early potato season as “fair,” saying that “ few late potatoes were still being planted with conditions favorable for securing good stands.” “Fair” first alfalfa cuttings showed that crop 83 per cent of normal a single point below average. “Much of the first cutting was rained on during its harvesting,” Mr. Justin said. “Clover makes up a small per cent of mixed clover and timothy this year. due largely to drought loss of new clover seedings last year. There are many fields of clean timothy which at this time give promise of good hay or seed yields.” Tobacco is 84 per cent of normal —41 points above a year ago and 8 points above the 10-year average. He attributed the rise to favorable weather and soil condition which aided tobacco setting. Some Orchards Slump “Apple trees are still carrying a good set of fruit,” Mr. Justin said. “Farm orchards, however, are continuing to deteriorate. Peaches are reported in good condition, but the number of trees is greatly reduced and many had small bearing surfaces and light blooms. “Pears are 21 points above average condition, and grapes were doing well in all sections of the state,” Mr. Justin reported. Farm labor supply was reported

51 per cent of normal, and demand |

97 per cent of normal. Indiana's spring pig crop was 7 per cent larger than in 1936, Mr. Justin reported, while the United States spring pig crop was 7 per cent less than last year. The total U. S. wheat production was forecast at 882,287,000 bushels, Mr. Justin said, adding the figure was an increase of 255,826,000 bushels over last year.
