Forty-two deaths were recorded. in the state over the week-end. Thirtyfour persons died from efforts of the stiffling heat, which prostrated -city life and continued to burn into the value of farm cgops. i

For eight comsacutive dJdays (he temperature had nounded fo the century mark and over in most section of the state. Southern portions have received less rain than those in the north. : :

TO NAME JUDGE

Judge Carlin DeClines In 00l $22.500 Suit. Filed by Florence “Huss Bake

- In an entry made in the DeKalb circuit court Saturday Judge Clyde C. (Carlin of Angola declined further jurisdiction in the case of Florence Huss Baker of Wolcottville against the Pennsylvania railroad. The plaintifs secured a verdict for $22,500 for injuries received in 1927 when an automobile in which she was riding struck a freight train at the LaOtto crossing. However, the appellate court reversed the finding of the lower court. The plaintiff then took a change of venue from Judge William P. Endicott and the action has been pending on an amended complaint. Dr, Kreigh, eye specialist died from injuries sustained in the accident and the late Emma Menzel of Auburn was seriously injured. The party was re turning from Fort Wayne when the accident occurred. It was a foggy night and the driver of the death car failed to see the crossing was blocked by the freight train.

Average Clasg I Rates Announecéd The average rate of the Clasg I or soil-conserving payment for Noble County under the 1936 farm program is $12.90 an acre, according to Chas. Beers county chairman. Mr. Beers points out that the rate for each farm will depend upon the productivity of the land on the farm and may vary consiierably from the average rat€ for the county. Farms more productive than the average for the county will receive rates higher than the county. Less productive farms will receive lower rates.

The county average payment applies only 4o the diversion of acreage to soil-conserving croos or uses from the genergl soil-depleting crops, such as corn, oats, wheat and barley. Special payments for divertng cotton or tobacco are not affected by this announcement. Different payment rates apply in connectioa with the production of sugar beets. The maximum acreage Ipon which farmers cgn receive Class I payments is 15 per cent of the gemeral saildepleting base acreage for the farm. These Class I payments are distinct from the Clasg II or soil-building pay ‘mentg which will be made to cooperat ing farmers who follow approved soll building practices on thei~ farms. Producers may qualify for one or both of these payments. The soilbuilding payment to each farmer is limited by hig soil-building allowance wlich is the same number of doilars as theére are acrces of soil conserving crops on crop land on his farm this y(4ar.

Tn most cases, the Class 1 rate for an individual farm wil: be establisheq by comparing the appraised yield of the farm’s most important soil-depleteing crop with the average yield of that crop for the eatire county. In every case, Mr. Beers said, only the crop or crops wers used whigh ‘accurately indicate the productivity of the farm as compared with other farmg in the county As an example, suppose corn ig the rrincipal soil-depleting crop on the farm, and the appraised norma!' yield of corn for the farm is 36 bnshels au acre. Then ruppose that the norma average yi3ld for the coumtv is 4¢ bushelg an =cre. The productivity of the fa=u would be 36 49, w.:ich i the wane as 90%. Th: rate ¢* the goil congcrving parment for the farm would be 90% »t county rate or $11.61.

Farmers Hard Hit by DProught Indiana farmers have lost several million dollars through the present drought and are expected to lose much more unless sufficient rain is received within a few days, Purdue University officially predicted. , " Light showérg received in many communities “gave temporary relief from the extensive heat wave, cxtension representatives of the university reported after a tour of the state. General rains are needed in many counties where corn is firing and showing other damag: they reported.

Nation Death Toll at 400

The nation today counted itg toll of lives in mishaps during the Independence Day celebration at more than 400. ’

United Press survey by states showed that at least 408 had died by accident. The number of fatalities resulting from fireworks was abnormally small, only seven, and in view of the record breaking movement of the population to resorts, parks, lakes and beaches the toll from other accidents was considerably smaller than predicted by insurance company statisticians. Millions crowded highways to geek relief from the hot summer July 4 at resorts and at least 207 0% them were killed in automobile mishaps. Of the hundreds of thousands who wenj to rivers, lakes and beaches, 111 were drowned. Five dled In airplane accidents and other accidents claimed a toll of at least 78 lives. The death list was regarded as surprising small by safety authorities, who had anticipated a greater loss of life than at any time since the start of the depression.
