This Is a Great State.

The Immense Com Output—Eggs in Abundance Toe. If all the corn raised in Indiana last year was phoed in ordinary salt barrels and laid end to end, the line would extend nearly three and a half times around the world Yet the crop of last year fell short of that of 1902 by over thirty-seven million bushels

There were enough eggs raised in the state—something like over fifty million dcz'm—to give every man. woman and child in it a little more than one egg a day. B- F, Jjhnson, chief of the bureau of statistics, concluded a report on the amount of farm products raised in the state for the year 1903. • He finds that there were 143,059,459 bushels of corn raised and 27,713,357 bushels of wheat; 1,653,531 tons of timothy hay and 1,779,485 tons of clover hay. There were 33.122,182 pounds of butter produced in the state and 630,488 pounds of oheese ‘ A large percentage of Indiana’s crop goes toward supplying the rest of the United States,” said Mr. Johnson. “A great deal of it is also exported to England and other countries.”
