' The monthly report of the co-operative crop reporting service for Indiana, Issued today, shows an improvement In nearly all crops over a month ago, the most notable of which are corn and oats crops; the former shows an Increase of 5,605,000 bushels.
Clover seed shows an especially large
Increase over last year, being 109,000 bushels larger. The report follows:
The condition of corn, as a whole, shows a slight improvement over last month, and is due principally to good
rains in the southern part of the state,
Good rains also occurred in . some of the northern counties, but came too
late to be of material help. 88 Per Cent of Normal.
The condition figure for Sept. 1 was
88 per cent of normal, and indicates a total production of 184.130,000 bushels, as compared with 177.924,000 bushels shown for last month, and 175.750,000 bushels last year. Along the western and northern part of the state there is some very poor corn, especially on sandy ana clay soils, where it is badly fired. The bottom corn generally is in good condition. But little of the crop will mature under three weeks and it yii! take six weeks for a great deal of it A killng frost before Oct. 1 would do heavy damage. Farmers should zegin to examine their corn just as soon as possible, with a view to selecting their seed for next year.

The quality is only fair. Oats Were 96 per Cent. Oats turned out better than was ex
pected in nearly all sections of the state. This is especially true of the early sown crop, which yielded a splendid Quality of heavy oats. Late
sown oats were much lighter, but gen erally of good quality.
The condition at time of harvest
was 96 per cent, of normal which indi
cates a total production of 75,076,000 bushels compared with 69,471,000 bushels shown for August 1, and 66,225,000 bushels for last year. The conditions of barley at the time of harvest was 87 per cent, of normal and indicates a crop of 1,656,000 bushels compared with 1,613,000 bushels shown for August 1, and 1,430,000 bushels last year. Practically all of this crop is ground into feed and used on the farm where grown. Buckwheat is also a minor crop in Indiana. The condition on September 1, was 88 per cent, of normal and indicates a totaJ production of 252,000 bushels compared with 235,000 bushels shown for August 1, and 231,000 bushels last year. Potatoes Look Better Due to good rains in the south part of the state, white potatoes show a slightly better condition than last month, notwithstanding the damage
from vine rot and wilt, and are 81 per cent, of normal. ; This figure indicates
a total prod action of 8,383.000 bushels compared with 7,704,000 bushels shown for August '1 and 4,400,000 bushels last year. ' The condition of sweet potatoes September. 1, was 87 per cent of normal.

All tame hay crops show an aver
age yield of 1.29 tons per acre, with a
total indicated production or wras.uuu tons. . Last months condition figures indicated 2,909,000 tons and last year's
crop amounted to 3,080,000 tons.
Wild hay averaged 1.2 tons per
acre, with a total Indicated produc
tion of 58.000 tons. Timothy aver
aged 1.34 tons, clover 1.25 tons and
alfalfa 2.50 tons per acre. Generally
the crop was of good quality, hut some of it was damaged by wet weather after cutting. Clover Seed Acreage The clover seed acreage is somewhat larger than a year ago, with an indicated production of 197,000 bushels compared to 88,000 bushels last year. The condition of pastures remains the same as last month, grain sorghum increased 1 point, millet increased 3 points and field peas and field beans increased 2 points.
Truck crops and melons all show a
slight increase in condition over a month ago. Fruit crops all show an Increase in condition over last month. At this time the total production of apples is estimated at 5,852,000 bushels;

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
Talking about "tall" corn, consider the stalks shown by Jesse Kellum and Ed O. Paul, at Dublin last week. Kellum's measured 16 feet 1 inch' ami Paul's 15 feet 11 inches in height, and Kellum got first money.
Talking further about corn, the Cook
Milling company folks at Middleboio
say that from the best information obtainable they think that corn up their way needs from two to three
weeks of good weather for maturing.
The Cooks say that somewhat fewer
farmers have sold their wheat this
year, than last, partly because the elevators were full when they threshed, and this forced them to store it, at least for a time. They have also taken in less wheat this season, because less was grown. Wheat is
worth $2.40 at Middleboro. No silo filling yet done. Fine Seed Leaf Tobacco. Winfield Brown, of Preble, living nine miles east of Richmond, has a fine six acre crop of seed leaf, much of it standing four feet tall. Some of this tobacco is now hanging, and the rest will be cut as fast as possible. "Not being able to get help, Mr3. Brown has ben mighty helpful," says the husband, "and we are doing the very best we can to save the crop In good condition." This tob'accb Is expected to make between 1,000 and 2,000 pounds of cured leaf to the acre. Many Have Sold Wheat. Asked as to the percentage of farmers who have sold their wheat this summer, compared with last year, the
Champion Milling company claim that i "Just as many fanners have sold their crop this year as last, and possibly more haVe done so. True, many of them had less wheat this season, but they have sold it just the same." They were speaking from their own exper ience at the mill, and not for tho country in general, it being conceded
that thousands of farmers have storto and are holding their wheat
The McKee silo at New Hope star
tion on the Pennsy, is said to be the very first to be filled in that district.
this season. The silo crew is at woik today. The directors of the Wayne farm federation are to meet in the county agent's office in the courthouse on Saturday, at 1:30. Considerable business of importance will come before the meeting. The people of Lynn had such a good time and such large crowds at their homecoming last fall, that they are to try it all over again. September 45 and 16 are the dates. Numerous inquiries have been received as to the locations of sorghum mills, which indicates that the high price of sugas last spring induced many farmers to plant cane. One can find patches of sorghum in all parts of the county, and much in adjoining counties. Many prefer sorghum to any of the "boughten" syrups. Selling Soft Coal at $12. The Milton Grain company reports one or two silos being filled this week, and. expect that work will be general in a few days. No anthracite has been received for some time, but they still have a little on hand. They have been able to sell Kentucky and West Virginia coals at $12, up to this time, but expect the next in will cost more, on account of advanced freight rates. They are getting all the cars needed at their four elevator points just now. No Hard Coal at Modoc.
No anthracite has been received at Modoc this season, by the elevator
folks, or very little soft coal either,
for some time. There is said to be
quite a little corn in the Modoc dis
trict but none is being offered, panding the outcome of the growing crop, which is still liable to frost damage. Farmers have not yet begun to fill silos in that section.
Nervous Breakdown "I am so nervous it seems as though I should fly" "My nerves are all on edge" "I wish I were dead.' How often have we heard these expressions or others quite as extravagant from some loved one who has been brought to this state by some female trouble which has slowly developed until the nerves can no longer stand up under it. . No woman should allow herself to drift into this condition without giving that good old-fashioned root and herb remedy Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. Read the Letters of These Two Women.
Korth East, Md. u I was in ill health four or five years and doctored with one doctor after another but none helped me. I was irregular and had such terrible pain in my back, lower part of my body and down each side that I had to go to bed three or four days every month. I was very nervous, tired, could not sleep and could not eat without getting sick. A friend asked me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I am sorry I did not take it sooner for it has helped me wonderfully. I don't have to go to bed with the pain, can eat without being 6ick and have more strength. I recommend your medicine and you are at liberty to publish my testimonial." Elizabeth Weaver, R. R. 2, North East, Md.
llinne apolis,Minn. MI was run down and nervous, could not rest at night and was more tired in the morning than when I went to bed. I have two children, the youngest three months old and it was drudgery to care for them as I felt so irritable and generally worn out. From lack of rest and appetite my baby did not get enough nourishment from my milk so I started to give him two bottle feedings a day. After taking three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I felt like a new woman, full of life and energy. It is a pleasure to care for my chiWrenand I am very happy with them and feel fine. I nurse my baby exclusively again, and can't say too much for your medicine." Mrs. A. L. Miller, 2633'

WMt Republicans Off er in Place of
tlie
Senator Harding's mention of putting "teeth" in his proposed reconstructed Hague Tribunal evokes only jeers from the Democratic friends of the League of Nations. "Political dentists," observes the New York World (Dem.) "will tell him that without a League only false teeth are possible now," and the Richmond Journal's (Dem.) title for an editorial on the subject is "Harding's False-Teeth Proposal." On the other hand, prominent Republican newspapers are enthusiastic over the Republican candidate's plan, the New York Tribune declaring that while the Harding program "promises no millen'nium, it is definite and affirmative, whereas the Cox program is vague and negative." So that the public may more fully understand just what is offered by both parties, THE LITERARY DIGEST in its issue of September 11th, publishes an enlightening article, drawn from editorial statements by American newspapers, comprehensive, unbiased, and deeply interesting. Read it and you will be able to vote more intelligently at the coming election. There are many other news-articles covering a wide field of interest. Among them are:
