INDIANA'S CORN YIELD PER ACRE
Oats Barely Half Normal; Wheat Thrashes Out Over Expectations.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 17 (U. P.) —Estimates of Aug. 1 indicated an all-time high in Indiana's corn | yield per acre, the Department of Agricultural Statistics at Purdue University reported today. “Although the indicated total pro-
duction of 196,840,000 bushels has been exceeded when larger acreages
were planted, the prospective yield of Indiana’s corn crop was estimated at a record-breaking 47.5 bushels per acre,” the report said. Purdue investigators, working in co-operation with the Agricultural Marketing Service of the U. 8. Agri-
culture. Department, found an unexpected upturn in corn prospects during July resulting from use of hybrid seed and unusually good weather conditions. Prospects rose six points as opposed to a normal decline of about five points during the same month, the report indicated. Borers Are Few
The estimated yield bettered by 2.5 bushels per acre any estimated yield since records were started in 1866, the report stated. Corn borer infestations reported in some localities were not expected to influence the yield materially owing to the limited acreage involved. Thrashing returns on wheat were “generally better than expected.” The acreage yield was reported at about 17.5 bushels per acre, one bushel higher than reported on July . Total production was estimated at 27,178,000 bushels, approximately 90 per cent of last year’s production. The decline was attributable largely to reduced acreage.
Soybean Outlook Good
Oat production indications were poor, the report stated, and barley also declined... An jndicated production of 28,224,000 bushels of oats was 57 per cent of normal while the barley indication of 672,000 bushels. was 92 per cent of the 10year average. : | “The outlook for both soybeans and cowpeas was very promising,” the report continued, “while the reduced buckwheat acreage was expected to yield an estimated 14 bushels per acre.” Estimates indicated that tobacco and potato crops looked about the same as last month and that both would be slightly below average. The yield of tame hay was expected to be about 26 per cent larger than normal according to the rert. Tree fruits showed good progress during the month. The number of cows in milk on farms of crop reporters fell off slightly although the decline in’ average yield per cow remained :essentially the same. The number of hens of laying age in flocks of 330 or under increased somewhat over a year ago but the percentage laying eggs had declined last year's figure although remaining above the 10-year average, the report con« cluded.

MYSTERY BODY RESTS IN GRAVE
Sent to State by Mistake; Now Who Is Going to Ray Costs? |
VINCENNES, Ind. Aug. 17 (U. P.). —The body of James William Lawrence, 40-year-old California coal
miner, which was sent here from Texas recently in a case of mistaken identity, was buried today in a pauper’s grave. Although health authorities decreed immediate burial, officials were | 4 at a loss to determine responsibility for having the body shipped into the county or for the expense of the funeral. - Expense of shipping the body here was borne by Mrs. Edna Lawrence, 44-year-old Vincennes mother who believed it to be that of her son, James William Lawrence, 22. County and Township authorities, however, learned that burial of the body was not legally within their jurisdiction since the dead man was not a County ward nor had he met death here. On the other hand, Texas officials could not be held responsible, since at the time of his death beneath the wheels of a freight train at Commerce, Tex., the man had $90 in his possession and so was not a pauper. The undertaker who arranged the burial had no assurance that | he himself might not have to bear the expense, officials said. Burial was in Durr Cemetery in Lawrence County, Illinois, because

Children to Leave Camp With Armor of Health
Fortified against the coming winter’s colds and complications, 80 healthy Marion County children will return home tomorrow from the Julia Jameson Nutrition Camp for Frail Children at Bridgeport. They have spent two months as guests of the Marion County Tuber-|1 culosis Association, absorbing nourishing food and health-building sunshine. Their home has been the handsome “streamlined” modern-style building erected four years ago. There have beén swims and games and entertainment two or three times a week, provided by Indianapolis and Marion County civic clubs. And yesterday, as a climax, Walker W.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17 (U. P).— The first concrete plans of the Con=gress on Educat: on for Democracy, e to revive the public spirit in democratic coun=tries, will be submitted tonight to a mass meeting at Carnegie Hall. Delegates to the congress, spone sored by Columbia University, have drafted a summary report of reso-
: lutions and discussions of “private sessions of the last two days, and
it will be read by Thomas H. Briggs, chairman of the faculty committee of Columbia’s Teachers College. Leaders of public and private life
in the United States and Great
Britain have helped prepare it. At a public session last night, Earl Baldwin, former British Prime Minister, made his first speech in this country. He said the explosive forces behind communism, naziism and Facism could be averted only by reliance on the spiritual, rather than the political foundations of democracy. He said that democracy was the most difiicult form of government because in totalitarian countries, citizens did not have to think, but merely do as he was told. Winthrop W. Aldrich, chairman of the board of Chase National Bank, New York, said that citizens of democracies needed to rely on selfcontrol rather than on law, and on public responsibility rather ‘than legislative enactment. Louis J. Taber, master of the Na-. tional Grange, said the United States needed. to strengthen its moral and spifitual defenses.
