Corn was planted under nearly {deal weather conditions, with precipitation and temperatures combining to keep- the season almost perfect. was mature before the frosts came, : Favorable Weather Weather conditions throughout the entire season for soybeans were favorable, ting in a yield of 21.5 bushels per acre, compared with the 1947 yield of 18.5 bushels and the average of 18 bushels. The 38,506,000 bushels of wheat produced in 1948 was the largest crop since 1019 with the single exception of 1931. Production ran 43 per cent above average with a yield of 2£5 bushels per acre, as compared to 23 bushels in 1047 and an average yield of 185 bushels. Increased acreage planted to oats, combined with a high yield per acre, resulted in another rec-ord-breaking crop. Only 1931 presented a better showing at the end of the year: Hay Needs Reduced The sharp reduction in numbers of horses and sheep during the last six years materially reduced the need for hay. As a result, production fell off 2 per cent from 1947, and was 16 per cent below average. Both farm horses and sheep were about half the number they were in 1942, Popcorn, red clover seed, strawberries and mint for oil weré only a few of the agricultural items Bodied in much greater quantity in 1948 than they were in 1947 in Indiana. The national yield in almost all instances was correspondingly great. great,

Today's questions and Mr. LaMoore's replies follow:

tain of its provisions discriminated against Jews and Catholics. However, some Catholic officials later denied this, and in the first group of persons arriving in this country, the largest number were Roman and

largest number were Jews. Because of this, the authors

In regard to your second question, I think so. We recognize Russia, and most of her satellites, so I can see no reason why we should not be willing to meet Spain half way. particularly since Spain is not in any sense a threat to world

There is nothing mew or revolutionary about the Atlantic pact. With out such an advance agreement, we fought shoulder to shoulder with Canada and Britain in two world wars, but many people believe that had such an agreement existed both of thgse wars might have been avolded. Both the Rio and the Atlantic pacts are consistent with the spirit of the Monroe Doc trine, one of the cornerstones of American foreign policy, and one agreement complements the other, since Canada, as a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, which extends well beyond the Western Hemisphere, is not a signatory to the Rio agreement, although in no sense opposed to it. : Under. the two agreements, we simply seek to keep the peace not only in the Western

Hemisphere, but also on both |

«Texas Jury Frees Man Accused of Slaying Beauty BEAUMONT, Tex, Jan. 15 (UP)—A district court jury today found ex-Sunday School teacher Sam Varnado innocent of murdering the beautiful woman

who divorced him and allegedly

went into the arms of his business competitor. “The jury deliberated only about

verdict, after four-day trial duration. Mr. Varnado was on trial in the fatal shooting of Mrs. Geraldine Varnado, 26, brunette and gorgeous, a week after she had divorced him in late September, 948.

. . . SHOT TO death with Mrs. Varnado was commercial photographer Lloyd E. White, 36, a business competitor who took the divorcee into his employ. Mr. Varnado, 31, had been charged with Mr, White's murder, too. But County Attorney Jep Fuller said now that the second charge would be dismissed. “It would amount to double jeopardy to try him on that one,” Mr. Fuller said.
