Recent Rain Was Life Saver, Indiana

By WILLIAM CRABB

The Indiaha Farm Bureau's district directors were in Indianapolis today and they painted this general picture of the State's crop sit-

nation:

The rain last week was a “lifesaver.” - The corn planting is progressing normally in most sections. Wheat and oats range from “fair” to “excellent.” Soy beans are “fine” and the trend toward plastics has developed a greater demand Yor this product. Alfalfa in some counties is the “pest ever.” ; Pastures are *fair to “good.”

The southern part of the state was affected most by the drought and needs immediate rain. In all sections except the extreme north, the water table is very low and many wells and streams have gone dry. Normal rainfall is needed for the rest of the spring and summer. The directors are meeting at the Farm Bureau’s new headquarters in the Majestic Building. Each di-

{rector represents a different section

of the State. Their views of the situation follow: Harty Modlin of New Castle— Rain last Tuesday and Wednesday prepared the corn for planting, which now is almost completed. The
