THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
INTERRUPT SIER HARVEST
Unusually High Wheat Yields Are Reported From.
Many Counties; Corn Condition Geod.
Halted by rains yesterday which ranged from beneficial showers to flattening downpours, farmers ir many Indiana counties were marking time until drying fields permit resumption of a generally bountiful wheat harvest. The driving midday rain which lashed Indianapolis caused con-| siderable damage to the heavy oats crop in this vicinity and | to uncut |
wheat, reported Horace E. Abbott, Marion county agricultural agent.
Damage to wheat. and oats was generally offset, however, by benefit which central Indiana's rapidly growing corn will derive from the
added moisture.
Yields Are High In Crawfordsville Area
Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, 12.—Combining and threshing of an unusually satisfactory wheat crop will be resumed in the Montgomery county area when fields dry after yesterday's moderate rain. Scattered reports indicate better than average wheat yields in the Crawfordsville vicinity, A 32-acre field -on the farm of Orville Clifton,’ at Brown's Valley, southwest of here, averaged 352 bushels to the acre and tested 62 pounds to the bushel. The moisture content was 11% per cent.
Montgomery county corn, already |
far ahead of normal, will continue to spurt after yesterday's shower,

Times Special SHELBYVILLE, Ind, July 12 — With harvesting operations in full swing and wheat rolling to elevators in a steady stream, until interrupted by yesterday's rain—Shelby county's crop is estimated to be worth at least a million dollars this year.

May said at that time that the bid was entered without his knowledge and that he | did not want the firm to do business with the government because of his official position. He even | threatened to “fire” his treasurer for submitting a second bid to supply an additional 10,000 tons of ore. Rep. May also explained that the performance bond was not posted | because that was the only way to break the contract, Court records showed that Greenbrier's mineral rights expired in| 1941, but Rep. May denied the lease | was allowed to expire to permit | others to buy it. He said he and Mr. Martin arranged for the property to be taken over by the West Virginia Manganese '& Iron Co., | with Greenbrier receiving 425 of the 1000 shares in the new company. When other investors “lost faith” in the enterprise, he said, the officers were left with the choice of | finding a buyer for the option or | going bankrupt. The shares assigned to Greenbrier are held in trust for the original investors by Carl Marshall, Washington attorney. Under the | trust covenant, Rep, May and Mr. |
