INDIANA CORN CROP SET AT 111.900,000 BUSHELS LAFALETTE, Ind., Sept. 18. — Derpite the continuation of hot we: ther during most of August, Indiana com more than held its own, due to the rainfall in various parts of the state. Condition of the crop wan reported 47 per cent normal on Sept. 1 against 46 per cent normal on Aug. 1, according to the monthly crop report of the department of agricultural statistics of Purdue university and the U. S. department of agriculture. The estimated yield thin season is 25 bushels per acre and the ten year average is 34.6 per acre. A production of 111,900,000 bushels is predicted for this year, against approximately 160,000,000 last year. T he intense heat during much of August caused some corn to ripen prematurely. However, reporters found most corn well eared imspite of its uneven size. The northeast section of the state showed the best corn condition while the northwest and southwest sections were seemingly the hardest hit by the drought. August rainfall was above normal in the northern part of the state, two-thirds of normal in the central pait, and one-third of normal in the southern part. The indicated production of oats was 34,736,000 bushels as compared with 38610.000 bushels last year. The report on barley indicated an estimated yield of 20 bushels per acre, which is two bushels below last year. Buckwheat, which in most cases was reported short and in full bloom, showed a seven point increase over last month. Potatoes were also among the crops showing a recovery in condition following the break in the drought. The crop's condition was reported to be improved five points from last month whereas the usual change is a two point decline. A forecast of a fair and satisfactory yield was made for potatoes growing in the northern Indiana muck area. Indiana’s estimated production was reported as 4,030.000 bushels as compared with 6,240,000 bushels produced last year. Several crops were shown to be in worse condition than that given in the Aug. 1 report. Sweet potatoes, with most of the acreage in the southwestern section where little rain fell, dropped six points, or four points more than the normal decline. The poor stand and short growth of tobacco caused it to drop five points in condition during the month. There was no change in the condition of tame hay with the estimated yield remaining at 1,892,000 tons. Alfalfa, however, showed a seven point improvement in its condition. Estimated clo-cr and timothy yields were given to be .80 tons per acre as compared with 1.15 tons last year. Depending entirely upon the amount of rainfall, soybeans were reported exceedingly uneven with an estimated production of 3,094,000 bushels as compared with 5,899,000 bushels last year and 1,925,000 bushels over a ten-year average. The acreage of soybeans for grain declined sharply from last year. A 324,000 bushel apple crop was estimated and the peacli crop was found to be only one per cent of normal. Pears showed the usual decline for the month, with an estimated production of 50,000 bushels. BANNER WANT A US PAY

DEMOCRATS NAME JUDGE (Rockville Tribune) The Democratic county committee, Homer Cornthwaite, chairman, met recently in special session and placed Noel Montgomery, prosecutor, on the local ticket as a candidate for judge of the Parke circiut court. At the time of the May primary no candidate appeared and the place was left vacant on the Democratic ticket. It was generally supposed there would be no Democratic cantiidate, the sentiment throughout the county in favor of Judge Hancock being so strong nobody cared to make the race against him. A way was found under the election law to place a candidate later and it was under this ruling that the committee took action. CASE TO CIRCUIT COl’RT (Brazil Times) Herbert Thompson, formerly of Oroencastle, who has been residing on south Forest avenue for several months while employed on state road 59 construction south of Brazil, was bound over to the Clay circuit court Thursday evening for trial after a 1 preliminary hearing in city court on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. He succeeded in furnishing $750 bond for his appearance. Thompson was held for trial to j the higher court on the charge of assault and battery and threat to kill Patrolman James James. A similar case on behalf of his wife was dismissed when Mrs. Thompson refused to prosecute. The trouble occurred on south Forrest avenue last week when Thompson. said to have been booze crazed, chased his wife from their home with a shot gun. Mrs. Thompson took refuge in the home of Officer James and when Thompson attempted to follow his wife into the James home the officer stepped into the picture and Thompson was landed in jail. ..-.winC. 1
