De Gaulle is pressing forward. Only last week it was announced in Paris that France would I expand economic, cultural and technical ties with Quebec. Details have not been worked out but it is expected that under the agreement France will send Quebec a new recipe for onion soup. In exchange, Quebec will send France two hockej play-

ers.

“Perhaps we could persuade De Gaulle to liberate the French quarter of New Orleans,” the other member suggested. “It still retains a strong gallic flavor.” “You mean a garlic flavor, don’t you? I said, recalling the

LAFAYETTE, UPI _ Soil moisture conditions in Indiana last week improved in all but the central and east-central counties, Purdue agricultural statistician Robert E. Straszheim reported Wednesday. His weekly report said topsoil moisture increased to “short to adequate,” while subsoil moisture remained about the same as the previous week, ranging from “mostly short to adequate.” "Field work progressed rapidly during the six days favorable last week with fall plowing the leading activity,” Straszheim said. Corn development continued at a slow pace with 35 per cent of the crop in, compared with half the crop in last year. Soybeans also trailed last year’s progress, with most fields still green. Seeding of small grains got under way in some areas last week. About 5 per cent of the rye and five per cent of the barley had been seeded. State climatologist Lawrence

A. Schaal’s records showed temperatures last week averaged seven degrees below normal. “Every week since June 19 has averaged below normal,” he said. Furthermore the outlook for September calls for “much below” normal averages. “This means that departure from normal may exceed at least four degrees,” schaal said. Thus, he added, the ad-1 vance of the season toward late fall could be deducted as. about] 8 or 12 days, provided cool weather continues. Schaal said the September rainfall forecast for Indiana is light-less than 24 inches. “In the last four weeks precipitation was 1.5 inches below normal northeast and central,” he said. “The lack of rainfall would be much more punishing if cool temperatures did not prevail.”
