Crop Planting In State Is Varied

LAFAYETTE UP — Agricul tural experts said only 75 percent : of Indiana's com crop and 60 percent of the state’s soybean crop was planted by the end of

last week.

Robert E. Straszheim. agricultural statistician at Purdue University, said in the weekly crop bulletin that rainy weather again kept farmers out of their fields 78 percent of the time. Only five percent of the total corn acreage was planted during

the entire week.

"There is considerable variation over the state in the percentage planted.” Straszheim said. t "Over 90 percent of the acreage has been planted in the northern third, while in the ti iitral areas between 70 and 80 percent has been planted, with only 40 percent being reported planted in the southwest. All sec tions of the state report cornfields are weedier than usual.” Soybean planting followed much the same pattern as com, h the largest percentage in

the northern third and the small- ^ planning a reception for the

ties.” he said. "Usually a portion of the head appears blighted or i white. Grains may not develop at all or be shriveled severely.” The scab also may affect rye, j of's and barley. The experts said hogs will not eat scabby barley. | ROACHDALE GETS IKK TOR. FIRST IN MANY MONTHS The Woman’s Progress Club of Roachdale w r as organized and universal Federated February 1955.

est in the southwest. Rye harvest has begun in a few counties across southern Indiana. About half the oat crop has headed out. Reports indicate 75 percent of the wheat is in the juilk stage with the crop nearing maturity in southern districts. Hay harvest continues under unfavorable weather conditions and about one-third of the total has been cut. Not only did the rainy humid weather delay crop planting but also it favored some fungous diseases now showing on wheat heads as the crop ripens, Straszheim reported. ‘Scab is ‘already abundant on wheat in the southwestern coun-

Horse Predicts Change Of Mind WASHINGTON UP — Sen. Wayne Morse D-Ore., predicted today that Congress may change its mind in a few years about requiring that the St. Lawrence Seaway pay for itself. Morse made his comment at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on a request by the St. Lawrence Seaway Corp- | oration’s request for authority to borrow 140 million dollars. This would be 35 million dollars more than its present debt ceil-

ing.

Sen. George D. Aiken R-Vt. questioned Lewis G. Castle, the seaway administrator, and Gen. G. C. Holle, the Army engineer responsible for the construction work, about the effect of the increased seaway costs on tolls which must be charged to pay off the project in 50 years. Castle had said he was confident the corporation, set up by Congress is 1954 to build the American portion of the seaway with money borrowed from the U. S. Treasury, would be able to pay out all its debts and still charge reasonable tolls even with the additional costs. But N. R. Danielian, head of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Assn, and a committe of prospective seaway users, said his group felt the necessary tolls would be too high to encourage shipping and would actually defeat the seaway’s primary purpose. Morse said it will be “only a matter of a few years” until it will be necessary to consider a federal contribution to the seaway costs. The financing method now in the law, he said, was
