INDIANA CROP REPORT Indianapolis, Ind., May 11.—Of the 2,053,000 acres seeded to wheat last fall, there will be abandoned approximately 101,000 acres or 5 per cent, according to reports received to May 1, leaving 1,951,000 acres for harvest, compared with 2,012,000 acres harvested in 1921 and 2,070,000 acres harvested in 1920. The principal reason for abandonment is attributed to floods and excessive rains filling low places in fields and killing the plants. Hessian fly damage was reported from only a. Tew localities and practically, no damage was; caused by freezing weather dur-j ing the winter. The condition of 1 the crop on May Ist was 89 per cent of normal and indicates a total production for the State of 34,942,000 bushels, which is about, the average for the State. The final estimate of last year’s production w T as 24,144,000 bushels. For the United States the abandonment amounts to 6,446,000 acres, leaving 38,131,000 acres for harvest this year compared with 42,702,000 acres, the final estimate for last year. The condition of the whole crop was 83.5 per cent on May Ist, and indicates a total production of 584,793,000 bushels. Last year’s revised estimate of production was 587,032,000 bushels and for 1920 it was 610,597,000 bushels. The rye acreage for grain in Indiana this year amounts to 315,000 acres and is an increase of approximately 9,000 acres over last year. The condition was 93 per cent of normal on May Ist, and indicates a total production of 4,809,000 bushels, compared with 3,972,000 bushels harvested last year and 3,892,000 bushels in 1920. For the United States the rye for harvest this year amounts to 5,148,000 acres and is an increase of 920,000 acres over last year, lhe condition on May Ist was 91.7 per cent of normal and indicates a total production of 79,918,000 bushels harvested last year and 60,490,000 bushels in 1920. The tame hay acreage in Indiana shows an increase of approximately 67,000 acres over last year and amounts to 2,316,000 acres. The wild hay acreage is practically the same as last year- and amounts to approximately 21,000 acres. The condition of all hay on May Ist was 94 per cqpt of normal and indicates a production of 3,222,000 tons of tame hay and 27,000 tons of wild hay.

per cent of lass year’s crop still on farms and amounts to approximately 355,000 tons, which is somewhat in exces s of the usual amount at this time of the year. The acreage of tame hay for the United States increased 11,000 acres over last year and amounts to 58,753,000 acres. The wild hay acreage increased 109,000 acres and amounts to 15,592,000 acres. The condition of all hay on May Ist was 90.1 per cent of normal and indicates a total production for the United States of 87,167,000 tons of tame hay and 16,412,000 tons of wild hay compared with 81,567,000 tons of tame hay and 15,235,000 tons of wild hay produced in 1921. Os the total crop produced last year there are 10,792,000 tons still remaining on farms. Up to May 1, only 29 per cent of the plowing for spring planting and sowing had been done in the State, all of which was seeded to oats or barley. No corn ground had been prepared at this time. For this date it is the least ground under preparation for many years, and is attributed to the wet condition of the soil resulting from heavy and continuous rains during March and April. For the United States 63.5 per cent of the plowing had been done and 53.6 per cent of planting and sowing had been completed. Pastures on May Ist were reported at 93 per cent of normal in Indiana and at 84.5 per cent for the United States, compared with 92 and 91.8 per cent, respectively, for last year. The mortality of live stock in Indiana during the past year was slightly in excess of the rate for the preceding year, being 18 per 1,000 for horses and mules from disease; for cattle it was 18 per 1,000 from disease and 5 per 1,000 for exposure; for sheep it was 26 per 1,000 from disease and 10 per 1,000 from exposure, and for lambs it was 53 per 1,000 from both disease and exposure.

heavy mortality rate for the! year, being 78 per 1,000 from 1 disease and is attributed to a severe outbreak of cholera in ! practically all sections of the State last fall. The mortality of live stock for the United States during the past year was as follows: Horses and mules from disease, 386,000; cattle from disease, 1,165,000, from exposure, 851,000; sheep from disease, 581,000, from exposure, 712,000; lambs from both disease and exposure, 563,000; swine from disease, 3,082,0C0A I The condition of live stock in Indiana on May Ist compared with normal, was 96 per cent for horses and mules, 95 per cent i for cattle, 93 per cent for sheep and 92 per cent for swine. I For the United States horses and mules show a condition of , 94.1 per cent compared with , normal; cattle, 93.2 per cent; sheep, 92.8 per cent, and swine, 93 per cent. The Outlook Farm conditions in Indiana have changed but little during • the month. Practically all the oats were seeded from two to three weeks later than usual and no corn ground worth mentioning has been prepared to date, which may be a tendency to decrease the acreage of this important crop. Conditions in the bottom lands are far from satisfactory as operations there can not be started before the middle of the month, because of the wet soil.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS~~| Try heating the bread knife before cutting hot bread. Gloves of silk or leather are better mended with cotton than silk. Never use a metal container for brewing tea. Raisins are easily seeded if boiled in water for two or three minutes. There is less danger of breaking objects of glass when washed in a wooden bowl. Coflfee for use in the percolator should be ground very fine. Use soda instead of soap to wash a hair brush. Soap softens the bristles, while soda does not and it cleans very quickly. Tie the strands of a new broom closely together and soak in <a pail of boiling water for two hours.. Dry thoroughly before using. This will strengthen the bristles and lengthen the life of your broom. 1 A delightful flavor is given to baked apples if the center of the apple is scooped out and raisins and nuts substituted. An open bowl of water with a few flowers growing in it, is a helpful, as well as ornamental, addition to any room, as the evaporation of the water takes the dryness from the air. If ink is spilled on a garment apply salt at once and the ink will wash out quickly. If ink is spilled on a rug or carpet, saturI ate with fresh milk immediately and rub with a clean cloth. Kerosene will clean the kitch- , en sink twice as quickly as any , scouring powder. Moreover,

kerosene, mild soap and hot water will never injure the porcelain. Kerosene also will remove rust and grease from iron. o BIG METEOR FALLS Norfolk, Va. — The meteor which flashed across the skies of Virginia last night and rocked homes in half a dozen cities by the shock of its landing, was found today 12 mi le» nor th west of Blackstone, in Nottawa county. Residents in the vicinity said there was a terrific detonation when the object which apparently weighs as much as 20 tons, hit the earth. When the meteor struck the earth, it was said a sheet of flames was sent up which was plainly visible for miles around. Several trees were set on fire. Striking in a grove of oak trees, the meteor made a depression in the earth which measured more than 500 square feet in area. Several trees were buried beneath the falling body in this hole. The meteor apparently was composed of some metallic substance. Q HOUSEWORK IS A BURDEN Woman’s lot is a weary one at best.

•' Mrs. J. L. Sloan, N. Harrison St., Syracuse, says: “As soon as I started to work, my back be- : gan to pain and ironing was j awful hard on me on account of j the misery in the small of my back. Housework tired my back and I often found it hard to go on. My nerves were badly affected and I worried considerably. My kidneys were weak and their too free action was the ! most annoying symptom aside - from inflammation of the blad- • der which later developed. I was I tired and worn out most of the 1 time. After reading about Doan’s Kidney Pills I purchased a box at Thornburg’s Drug Store. They rid me of the trouble and 1 my cure has been permanent as ‘ I have had no further disorder.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster--5 Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.
