Corn is Indiana's prosperity crop. There are other crops, wheat, soybeans, oats and some rye, but King Corn sways his golden tasseled scepter over the Hoosier farmer's

_ prosperity. : It looks like another bumper crop for Indiana. Despite the three per cent reduction in acreage, if the weather is ideal from now on in, the farmer may - wind up with a corn crop worth around $388 million. But this year weather has been fickle. The week before last farmers were complaining. Fields were powder dry. Then last week came the deluge/ The tornado brought a torrent of chilly rain, soaked the northern part of the state, leaving some of the fields near Benton County flooded so planters could not get in for at least a week. This. pushed their planting over to enough time for corn to mature before frost.

ou Do? Success Seen | Near in Ford Strike Talks

Way Paved for Return Of 106,000 to Jobs, U. S. Conciliator Says

DETROIT, May 29 (Sunday) (UP) -—— Federal Conciliator Arthur C. Viat said early today that the Ford Motor Co. strike “will be settled within half an hour,” paving the way for return of 106,000 Ford workers to their jobs. The negotiators, grim and Idrawn by marathon sessions, had |returned to the conference table last night to attempt to clear the! final hurdle in the strike, { Top Ford and CIO United Auto| Workers officials needed only to choose an arbitrator to end the 24-day walkout. Both felt that the issue of rehiring 20 fired Ford strikers was secondary. Néither the UAW nor Ford had any comment as negotiators filed back into the sessions, broken off 12 hours to permit them to get much-needed sleep. They expressed confidence that agreement reached earlier on arbitration of the major manpower work-load issue had disposed of] the principal stumbling block preventing settlement of the walkout. :

5 Points Settled Five other points had been ironed out as the talks resumed at 9:30 p. m. (Indianapolis time). They were held in the “Victory Room” of a hotel, which UAW President Walter P. Reuther suggested was significant. Negotiators agreed to a review of production standards, uniform flow of work along assembly lines, relief periods, absenteeism and placing of additional workers when auto body types are mixed. . The question to be decided by the arbitrator was: “Does the company . . . on the basis of health and safety or otherwise, have the right to require an employee to perform his work assignment . . . in less time

He built makeout of fence wire and porary roof over it, He save it until he could (1) it on the open market or (2) it into pork or beef, The Hoosier farmer gets more for his corn when he converts it into pork. It takes about 15 bushels of corn with other supple‘ments to bring a hog to 220 pounds. He gets about $50 for the hog, $25 of which is the price of his corn. In the other $25 he manages to get a little added profit on his corn, upping the pies enough tymore than pay for exira labor. wl But the big gamble, this year as always, is’ still the weather. The farmer works as hard in bad crop years as in good years. But if the crop is thin, he gets nore bushel. If the crop is heavy, gots leas per bushel and has more bushels. This levels off his income. The Indiana farmér is not satisfled with his income. But who is? He complains that the city worker gets more for his labor and that the factory wage earner has a Digher per capita income, which
