CROP REPORT The condition of winter wheat in Indiana was reported as 74 per cent of normal on the 1,941,000 acres remaining for harvest, indicating a production of 26,284.000 bushels. The quantity harvested last year was 31,365,000 bushels. In some of the east central counties fully half of the wheat has been put into other crops. In the' more important lyheat sections winter damage was less severe. s> that for the state as a whole only 14 per cent of the area sown last fall has been abandoned. This amounts to 316,000 acres, where only 183.000 were lost a year ago. The acreage remaining for harvest is 96.000 acres larger than the 1,845,000 last year. * There are 273,000 acres of rye left for harvest with a condition of 86. The indicated production is 3,686,000 bushels. Last year’s harvest was 3,682.000 bushels. Rye was sown earlier than the wheat and got a better start before the fall* 'drought and was less affected by the sharp freeze of March 2 than was the case of wheat. Th* acreage of rye now growing is 10,000 larger than it I was last year. Not since 1915 has spring plowing been so far advanced on May I. It is 85 per cent completed, compared with 57 per cent last year and an average of 61. Sowing and planting are correspondingly well advanced.-beings 62 per cent completed. Last year the figure was 47, and the tienyear average is 45. ' Pasture has risen from 81 to 85 in the past month. Last year the figure was 80a The losses of live stock for the year ending April 30 have been very light. Out of each e l,ooo losses this year and the average have been as follows, respectively: horses from disease 16, 19; cattle from disease 15, 18; cattle from exposure 4 and 6; sheep from disease 24, 8; sheep from exposure 8. 11; lambs both disease and exposure. 48, 52; swine from disease 47. 67. The supply of farm labor is reported 93 per cent normal as against 75 last year. The demand is also higher, being 91 now as compared with 86 last year. The ratio of supply to demand is now 102. Jn 1924 it was 87 per cent. APRIL GASOLINE TAX In the month of April the gasoline tax collection department cf the auditor of state’s office collected a total of $413,758.41 of tax cn gasoline. This included $411,464.08 of current taxicollection on gasoline sold m the month of March $2,173.99 in delinquent tax which was collected in April by Charles Benjamin, former tax collector and now a field man in the division’s employ, and $120.34 which represents additional tax discovered in April.

COUXTY’ HAS ITS OWN LIME Kosciusko county marl analyses more than 90 per cent lime, and as lime is aiyilkali, it overcomes acid in the sAil, neutralizing it. Soils become acid from long cropping. A ton of alfalfa hay takes away 100 pounds of lime. An acre of oats represents 20 pounds. Long using of the soil takes from it a large supply of lime, and tbe time has come in Kpsciusko county when many fields need a new supply. When mention is made cf the marshes and lakes, the subject of lime for the soil is suggested, for the time has come when Kosciusko bounty has ceased to import lime for reducing soil acidity. and is now supplying most of its own needs and is beginning to ship out this commodity. As the demand is developed, it may be expected 4hat the lime business will be increased, and that not only will the farm lands in the county and in the distant parts of the state be improved by it, but a substantial income for the county will be developed, adding more to the purchasing pcwer of the farmers and showing another benefit of our lakes. The marl depcsits are the result of a slow process of nature. The pond weeds, known to the scientists as potamogetons, and chara grasses and other aquatic plants, gather lime from the water and store it up in their leaves, when fall comes and they, die. this lime is liberated, but is not taken up by the water, falling instead to the bottom. It has been estimated that in one lake the deposit is one- hundredth of an in<A a year. It will be seen from this that nature has been working for ages to stote up marl tn some of the beds that are many feet deep. o 4 “ QUARANTINE LIFTED The schools, theatres, churches and other public phces were opened in Goshen last week after being closed for two weeks on account of the scarlet fever epidemic. —o : AWARDED CONTRACT Doty Bros..
