State Cora Crop Over The Hump LAFAYETTE. UPI—The Indiana com crop matured at a more rapid rate last week than the week before and 70 per cent of it was over the hump by last weekend, crop experts reported today. Robert E. Straszeim. agricultural statistician at Purdue, reported the 70 per cent mature matches average for this time of year, although last year the crop was 75 per cent mature
by the last week in September. “Harvest was under way in a few areas of the state, but less than 5 per cent of the crop has been picked,” the report said. “Soybean harvest was virtually at a standstill. Only 10 per cent of the crop was reported as harvested, the same as reported a week earlier. A year earlier soybean harvest was 35 per cent complete and the average rate is 20 per cent complete.” Straszheim reported some plowing was done last week, despite rain which kept farmers out of the fields all but two
days. "Plowing of land intended for winter wheat was 70 per cent complete by the weekend compared to the five-year average of 75 per cent. Last year only 65 per cent of the plowing was complete on this date. “Some progress was made in seeding small grains. About 15 per cent of the wheat was reported as seeded, compared with the average and last year’s rate of 20 per cent. Barley was 25 per cent seeded while the usual rate is 55 per cent. Rye iwas 30 per cent seeded com- ■ pared to 45 per cent seeded last I year.” The report said topsoil mois-
ture averaged adequate to surplus while subsoil moisture average mostly adequate to surplus. Pasture condition continued to climb, reaching a mostly good rating by the end of the period.
