Commercial fertilizers only supply food, not humus, so the latter must be introduced in some form, and this is the season to prepare a ' supply for next year. Every available scrap of Vegetable matter should be taken to the compost heap: lawn clippings when they happen to be long and have to be raked off the lawn leaves, weeds, the roots of cleared oft crops; in fact, anything of vegetable matter.

gin to fall, carefully conserve all possible. But leaves gathered In quantity should be put in a pile alone, as they will not be sufficiently decayed to use under a year. When properly decayed, in addition to their value as a substitute for manure in the garden generally, thoy form a most important element in making a compost for seedlings or cuttings. When thoroughly decayed, leaf-mold is an excellent top-dressing for lawns. Has any thought been given the supply of good soil for next spring? Good fibrous loam is the desirable matter required for all potUng, making it. H enter in many instances with the addition of sand and also adding leaf mold. Turf from an old pasturefleld is to be preferred, and if clover is present in it so much the better, as it will contain the beneficial nitrate nodules, thus considerably enriching it. If they cannot be had from a pasture field, it may be possible to get it where building operations are starting or from some free lot. Spring is decidedly the best season to cut the sod. as at that time it may be taken with two or three inches of clover and grass on It, which will all help to improve its texture when thoroughly decayed. A start may of course be made at amy season, but no time should now be lost if it is to be in perfect condl

tion for next spring. Place the sods grass side down, keeping the most solid of the turfs to the outside, filling in the center of the pile with all broken or finer pieces. It is estimated India will grow nearly 400,000,000 bushels of wheat this year. LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE TO HEIRS. CREDITORS. ETC. In the matter of the estate of Charles L. Wolfer, Deceased.

CORN AND OATS ADD MANY .MILLIONS OF BUSHELS IN MONTH

Corn and oats in Indiana show a decided improvement in condition over a month ago. For the former an Increase of more than 8,000,000 bushels Is shown and for the latter 7.600000 bushels, according to the official report of the co-operative crop reporting service for Indiana, issued today. The report follows; The condition of corn generally throughout the 6tate is very good, although some fields have tasseled out on stalks not more than two feet high and cannot possibly make a crop of any kind. The average of the figures as reported by correspondents is 86 per cent of normal and indicates a total production of 177,924,000 bushels as compared with 169.83S.000 bnh shown for July 1, and 175,750.000 bushels last year. The weather has been excellent for the development of the stalk, but not warm enough to start the ears. Some fields on sandy soil have begun to fire, but rains since the first of the month have helped them very materially. Cinch bugs are very plentiful In some localities.- It will need a late fall to develop the crop in good condition. Wheat Lowest Since 1912. The average yield of winter wheat is 12 bushels per acre and is the lowest since 1916, when it was 11.5 bushels. On this figure a total production of 20,460,000 bushels is indicated. No threshing had been done in some localities and it is possible that later returns will change this amount Last month's estimate was 20,664.000 bushels and last year's crop amounted to 45,792.000 bushels. Where the yields were the heaviest the quality was the best. For the whole state the quality is 87 per cent or between No. 2 and No. 3 grade. The spring wheat condition shows an increase of five points over the Ju'y 1 condition and is now reported at 70 per cent of normal. This figure Indicates a total production of 51,000 bushels compared with 45,000 bushels reported in July and 228,000 bushels last year. The average yield for rye is 14 burhels per acre, and is slightly ba low the five-year average. On this figure a total production of 4.788.000 bushels was indicated. On July 1. a crop of 5,058,000 bushels was indicated and last year's crop amounted to 5, 320,000 bushels. Later reports machange the August forecast as many localities reported no threshing done at the time of reporting. 69,471,000 Bushels of Oats. The oats crop shows a decided Improvement over the July 1 report, being 91 per cent of normal, compared with 82 per cent last month. On these figures a total production of 69,471,000 bushels is indicated, compared with 61,837,000 bushels last month and 60, 225,000 busSels last year. Early sown oats filled well and are exceptionally heavy, but those sown late did not do so well. The crop varies greatly, even in the same neighborhoods. The barley crop also shows some improvement over the July 1 report, being 86 per cent of normal, compi -ed with 82 per cent last month. On these figures a total production of 1.613.000 bushels is indicated. La-t month the estimate was ' 1,501 ooo bushels, and last year It was 1,430,000 bushels. The crop this year was exceptionally good in all sections of the state except in the extreme north- ; east corner. ! The buckwheat acreace remains the same as last year, 14,000 acres. The condition July 1 was 84 per cent of ! normal. From this figure a total proj duction of 235,000 bushels is indicated, I compared with 231,000 bushels last ! year. Bigger Potato Crop Anyway. White potatoes show a decline of six points over the July 1 condiUon, boing SO per cent of normal. This figure indicates a total production of 7.704.000 bushels, compared with 4, 400,000 bushels last year. Vine rot and wilt have attacked many patches, especially where the seed was not i carefully selected. Sweet potatoes also show a decline : of five points during the month, being : 86 per cent of normal. This fieu .; indicates a total production of 330,000 i bushels compared with 315,000 bushels last year. The condition of Tobacco Aug. 1, was 84 per cent, of normal and indi- : cates a total production of 17,141,000 j pounds, compared with 16,432,000 on ; July 1. and 15,215,000 last year. The ; crop needs rain badly in the burley district and some warm weather to j stimulate growth. ; All hay crops show a slight increase ! in condition over the July report, bei ing 87 per cent, of normal. On these figures a total production of 2,909,000 i tons is indicated, compared with 2,832,000 last month and 3.080.000 last j year. Timothy condition increased from 82 per cent, in July to 88 per j cent, of normal on Aug. 1. j Clover hay has been harvested and i the yield is 1.25 tons per acre, with ; the quality at 89 per cent. Alfalfa ' shows an increase in condition ffom ! 89 per cent. July 1, to 92 per cent, of normal Aug. 1. Millet shows a n . increase of 3 points during the month I and is 84 per cent, of normal, i Kafirs, peas and beans remain about the same as last month. Truck crens ! show a slight decline, but hardly ' enough to be worth mentioning. Wateri melons show no change, but the con- ! dition of canteloupes increased two , points. Apples and peaches show a decline of four points during the month. while pears and grapes each show ?n ' increase of one point. The condition figures for these crops compared with ; normal are as follows: Apples, 62 per cent; peaches, 78 per cent; pears.- 79 per cent, and grapes. 90 per cent. The total production of apples is estimated ! at 5.420,000 bushels; peaches. 931.000 i bushels, and pears, 640,000 bushel. Sugar beets and sorghum cane remain about as last month.
