NEW WHEAT SELLING AT $1.04 IN RANDOLPH

CHINCH BUGS SLUMP

WINCHESTER. Ind.. July 11. New

wheat is selling at $1.04 and rye at 97 cents here. The quality of the

wheat and rye is the best in years, grading from 57 to 62 pounds to the bushel. It is estimated that the yield will be from 13 to 18 bushels per acre. Oats are being cut and this week will find about all in the shock and part of them threshed. The acreage of oats is normal while that of wheat and rye is about one-fourth less than in 1920. Chinch Bugs Slump. Following a tour of inspection of the county made by County Agent Roscoe Fields, Hal Driver of Aurora. Morris Shireling Franklin and V. V. Bowman, Winchester, vocational teachers, the announcement was made by Fields that the loss to Randolph county so far from the chinch bugs woud reach from three to four hundred thousand dollars. The inspection showed that the pest was on the decrease, due it waa thought to the presence of blowflies and lady bugs. It was noticeable that where the flies and lady bugs were prevalent, the chinch bugs were disappearing. The men also discovered

that many of the bugs went into the

ground and died, being covered by a

fungus whitish growth. They found one eight acre field of corn totally

destroyed and a small field of -oats ruined The inspection showed that 75 per cent of the farms were infested and the pest is reported from all townships in the county.

iod has arrived. With the exception

of a few localities tasseling has begun

and rain is seriously needed. Chinch

bugs and storms have done damage since the first of the month.

Winter wheat threshings have shown

the crop not to be as good as indicated earlier in the season, the con

dition at time of harvest being 70

per cent of normal and indicates a j total production of 26,648,000 bushels J

compared with 32,359,000 bushels reported for June 1, and 23,400.000 bush

els harvested last year. Wheat re

maining on Indiana farms from last year's crftp amounts to 1,765,000

A total of 57,200 bushels is now

indicated

Oats declined 15 points during the

month, the condition on July 1, being

1 3 per cent of normal. 'On this figure

a total production of 56,119,000 bushels is indicated compared with 65,175,000 bushels for last month and 76,875,000 bushels harvested last year. The crop

headed out on very short straw and in some localities is very weedy and thin. The month was entirely too hot for this crop. Some fields have been cut

but none threshed to date.

1921 INDIANA CORN AND POTATO ACREAGE EQAULS 1920 FIGURES; TOBACCO REDUCED

Acreages planted to corn and potatoes in Indiana this year are practically the same as those for 1920, but the tobacco acreage has been reduced 35 per cent, according to the monthly report of the co-operative crop reporting service, issued today. The hot weather "during the-month has had a deteriorating effect on all crops and total production shows a decided decline from the June forecast. The report follows: In the northern counties of the state

the corn acreage generally shows a slight increase over last year, but in

nearly all the southern counties

decrease is shown. This is due prin

cipally to getting back to regular ro

tation of crop acreage on the pre-war basis. The total for the state is

4,545,000 acres and is approximately

the same as last year.

The condition as of July 1, is 93 per

cent or normal ana indicates a total

production of 185,981,000 bushels com pared with 184,072,000 bushels harvest
