Of the acres seeded to winter wheat i in Indiana last fall there wall be 1 abandoned 183,000 acres, or 9 per I cent, according to reports received to May 1, leaving 1,845,000 acres for J harvest, compared with 2,072,0001 acres harvested in 1923 and 2,052,000 acres harvested in 1922. The prin-j cipal reason for the heavy abandon- ! merit is due to winter-killing in the | southern part of the state, where the j abandonment ran as high as 40 per cent in some counties, and where plants were not protected by snow during thfc severe weather in January.
