OATS AND CORN OUTLOOK GOOD

Indiana Wheat Crop Probably Will Be Small. * PLOWING FAR ADVANCED othy Yield Will Be Below Average, Say Reports Sent to Indianapolis. Estimates Said to Be Based on Interviews With Farmer*, Dealers and With Bankers Who Keep Close Watch on Conditions. Indianapolis, April 13. —The News pays: Indiana will not have a “bumper” wheat crop this year, but as for oats and corn the records may be broken if increased acreage is an indication. There will be little clover, and timothy does not now promise an average crop. Pastuiage prospects are bright only in spots where the drought last year did not burn out the grass. Special reports rrom correspondents at county seats, based on interviews with farmers, grain dealers and those hankers who watch crop conditions closely, show that the winter wheat acreage is much smaller than for years. They also show that the condition of the growing wheat is not good; in fact, that in a large number of counties it is poor. Many farmers last fall planted seed in dust, and as 1 little rain fell for weeks after the grain was sown, the seed did not germinate in time to form a good stand before freezing weather set in. A good deal of this sickly wheat was plowed under during the winter. Two-Thirds a Normal Crop. Absence of snow, which serves as a blanket, coupled with alternate freezing and thawing, heaved many wheat plants out of the ground, and during the dry spell in March a great deal of the heaved wheat was blown away. Even should present prospects Improve, it is doubtful if, with the decreased acreage and the present backward condition of the plants, there will be more than two-thirds or three fourths of a normal crop. The dry fall and the open winter enabled farmers to plow when they willed. As a result plowing has been completed in some counties and in others it is further advanced than in former year's. The ground is mellow and is easily worked. Some fields that were plowed for oats were pulverized into dust by the plow. Clods were scarce, and the planting of oats was easy. Disk harrows are already at work in the southern and central counties putting the soil in condition for planting com. Increase In Oats Acreage. Much of the land usually devoted to winter wheat has been sown In oats, and the reports indicate the acreage wiU be at least 25 per cent greater than last year. In the southern counties, where sowing was done early, the young, plants look vigorous and a large yield is expected. Correspondents report that many poor wheat fields have been plowed under with the view of planting corn. With early planting, warm weather and timely rains, the corn crop should be enormous. Reports i* regard to meadows are pessimistic. The drought last summer and fall burned many pasturages into hare spots. Timothy suffered as well as bluegrass. In a few counties good crops of hay are promised, but the yield In the state as a whole will be smaller than the average. Clover will be scarce.
