AUGUST WEATHER BENEFITS CROPS, REPORT IS MADE Corn Makes Big Gains, Crop Is 90 Percent of Normal in Wayne.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 10. The -weather during August was con

siderably more favorable to crop conditions than July, according to the reports of the Indiana Co-operative Crop Reporting Service Issued today. Of the remaining crops to be harvested, corn Is the only Important one and shows an increase of 4,052,000 bushels over the August report. .White potatoes show a further decline, but sweet potatoes and tobacco remain about the same and there was practically no change in the fruit crops. An Indicated production of 2,620,000 tons of tame hay and 64,800 tons of wild bay is shown. There are 8 per cent less hogs on farms for fattening than a year ago, and the production of wool was 6 per cent greater. Clover seed is very disappointing. Only 65 per cent of last year's acreage will be harvested and the condition is such that not more than twothirds of an average crop will be produced. Timothy and alfalfa both indicate a smaller yield than usual, but millet chows a slightly larger yield than a month ago. Tomatoes and cabbages are somewhat better than the August report. Indicated, but onions show a further

decline. The production of melons is

about 85 per cent of a normal crop and the quality exceptionally good.

Sorghum cane, sugar beets and broom corn each show a better condition than in August. The report follows: Corn shows a slight improvement over last month notwithstanding many localities have had but little rainfall during the month. Bottom land generally shows the best condition and sandy land the poorest, although all of it is more or less spotted. On a condition of 77 per cent of normal, a crop of 169,127,000 bushels is in-dicatedr-k Spring Wheat Away Down. Much of the spring wheat acreage was left unthreshed and none of it made more than one-half what was anticipated earlier in the season. On a condition figure of 76 per cent of norma! at time of harvest, an oat crop of 68,051,000 bushels Is forecasted at this time, which is about threefourths of what was anticipated. White potatoes continued to decline in most localities,. although the verr late planted seemed to "set" well and with favorable weather conditions, should make n good crop. Sweet potaWBs, ia the commercial districts, show a slight Improvement, while those for home use show a decline over the August condition figures. Apples, peaches and pears show practically no change since the last report, but grapes show an improve

ment of five points. The number of" hogs on farms for j fattening is three percent, less than a year ago, slightly more than the' average number at this time. The total production of wool is five percent, greater than last year and ten percent, above the usual. Clover left for seed is only 65 percent, of last year and the condition is very poor. This means not more than two-thirds of a crop. Only 82 percent, of the usual timothy acreage was harvested this year with an average yield of 1.2 tons per acre. Alfalfa also shows ten percent, less acreage than usual and an average yield of 2.3 tons per acre. A crop of 2,520,000 tons of hay is forecasted. Heat Kills Pasture The excessive heat in the early part of the month did so much dam

age to pastures that favorable weather later could not bring the condition figure up to last month. Tomatoes and cabbages indicate a slightly increased condition figure, but thrips have been so bad in the onions that a further decline of seven points is shown over last month. " On an acreage somewhat less than is usually harvested 84 percent, of a normal crop of watermelons and cantaloupes were produced, the quality of which was excellent. In the United States, all crops remain about the same as last month.

FEDERATION ASKS EVIDENCE ON GRAIN HANDLING PRICES t INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 10. Indiana farmers who have received too little for their wheat, due to the grain men's alleged action in charging exorbitant margins for handling it, are invited to file complaints with the United States Grain Corporation, through the offices of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations. This invitation was extended today in the form of a Joint statement by President John G. Brown and General Secretary Lewis Taylor. Officials of the Federation have found hundreds of Indiana farmers who have suffered losses on their wheat because of profiteering by the dealers. Messrs. Brown and Taylor and Vice-President W. H. Hickman,

who have been traveling over the

state in the interest of the Federation's $200,000 guarantee fund, estimate that Indiana farmers must have lost $2,000,000 through this profiteering. The grain dealers, they say, have charged an average of five cents a

bushel too much for handling a crop or

some forty million bushels. "It is not for us to say how much is a reasonable handling charge," said the Brown-Taylor statement "But

we do say that when Indiana farmers

get only $2.11 for No. 1 wheat, as

against the guaranteed price of

$2.3914 at New York, they are being cheated. And most of them have been getting only $2.11 or less. The United States Grain Corporation has not agreed to set a reasonable bandling charge, but has undertaken to adjust any individual cases brought to its attention. "15 Cents a Bushel." "Indiana grain dealers deny any collusion in setting:, a standard for handling charges, although they held a meeting and compared notes on some 73 elevators. Since that meeting, the handling charge throughout Indiana has averaged around fifteen cents per bushel. "Last year, in Illinois, after the grain men had trimmed the farmers through most of the season, the farmers got together and forced an agreement of eight cents a bushel as a fair margin for the dealer. They received a settlement of some three-quarters of a million dollars, and we are going to take the same steps.

"We want every farmer in Indiana I

who has been charged "too much by the grain dealer for handling his Wheat, to sit down and write his story to us. We plan to prepare some blank affadavit forms, and our idea is to have them filled out and sworn to, before filing them with the grain corporation. "The public gets no benefit when we are trimmed by profiteers, for it goes on paying high prics for flour just the same. It is such profiteering operations as this that keep up the high cost of living, and we intend to do what we can to block the profiteer." Federation officials have already presented some cases of profiteering to the grain corporation, are are awaiting decision. Thus far, however, they have not succeeded in obtaining a decision as to a fair handling charge. The eight-cent standard in Illinois last year, was the result of a Food administration ruling.

In the closing days of the war, when American troops in the Puvenelle sector were advancing on Metz uuder terrific artillery bombardment, a chaplain laid aside the rather advisory duties of his rank and for two days and nights helped in evacuating the wounded men under a withering enemy fire, without regard for his own safety.

The commander of the 7th Division proposes that all Kansas and Missouri men receiving decorations from his own government or from foreign governments come to Camp Funston for a formal presentation, and has arranged for a dinner by the divisional staff and use of the band and troops of the division in the ceremony.

A National Problem Solved . Pure, Wholesome Food -f- Nujol Health PURE, wholesome food is necessary, but it is not v enough. The purest, most wholesome food will hinder rather than help health if allowed to clog the colon the large intestine. And doctors agree that about 90 of our ailments are caused or intensified by constipation. Some part of even the purest and most wholesome food is waste. If this waste is not kept movine out of the body, it stagnates and breeds poisons which saturate the system and cause or nourish disease. The old, wrong way to attack such stagnation was to force a passage through the impacted mass. The new, right way to overcome it is to let Nujol induce easy self-elimination. And since health is as much a matter of how yre eliminate waste as how we assimilate food-fuel, it nrast become evident to every thinking person that the use of a natural, drugless - lubricant is as sensible and necessary as the eating of pure, wholesome food. The three vital processes upon which health is based are Mastication, Assimilation, Elimination. Therefore, the perfect recipe for health is thorough Mastication; Pure, wholesome Food, and Nujol.
