GRAIN IN INDIANA
GOOD AS AVERAGE
Government Reports Says
Oats Crop Will Be Small
er This Year.
WHEAT IS EXCELLENT

The state of Indiana will be pro
ductiye one and will compare favor
ably with all other grain and corn pro
ducing state, according to the report
of the department of agriculture.
In Indiana an acreage of 4.S9S. 900
averaged II bushels OF corn per acre
in 1912, and in 1913 the yield is es-
timated at IS. In Nebraska, Georgia
and Minnesota an average yield of 81
bushels per acre is predicted.
Nothing on Spring Wheat.
The estimate on spring wheat for
this state is not given. Washington
will lead in the production OF spring
wheat, according to the present indi-
cations. The yield averages 90 bush
els per acre, though an average OF 90
bushels was made last year.
The oats crop in Indiana will be
less this year than last year by Al
bushels per acre. Last year the yield
was 95 bushels per acre, which was
breater than any other state. The
estimate for this year is "a bushels
per acre.
Poor Yield in 1912.
Inc wheat crop THIS year Will De
double that of last year, which was
the poorest yield ever harvested in
this state The wheat crop last year
average AZ bushels to the acre, against
80 this year.
The report showed a condition OF
SIG for winter wheat, and 1873 for
spring wheat.
These figures on the acreage already
given on previous reports indicate a
crop of winter wheat of 483, 900, 000
bushels, and of spring wheat 21S,000,
600 bushels, or a total of 701, 000,000
bushels. The final report in 1912 was
730, 900, 900 bushels. The crop of corn
is indicated at 2O,97O,O00 The oats
crop is indicated at 1,O81,0OO bushels

court custody of their minor son.
DIR. and Mrs. Halderman have had
many troubles and occupied the at
tention of the local courts on many
occasions. One of their latest came
two or three years ago following a
fire damage to their home. The woman
was accused by the husband of setting
hre to the house, and his activity re-
suited in her indictment on an arson
charge. She was not prosecuted,
however, but was confined in the
county jail a short time. Another
time Mrs. Halderman had her hus-
band arrested for shooting at her with
intent to kill, but he was acquitted
for lack of evidence.
Baby on Mayors Steps.
Mrs. Halderman came into the spot
light shortly afterward when she at
tempted to dispose of an illegitimate
child born to her daughter. The girl
was living in Cincinnati, and the child
was taken from that city to Rich
mond, Ind, by Mrs. Halderman and
placed on the doorstep of DR.. w. w.
Zimmerman. At that time Cincinnati
police were searching for the mother
of dead babe found in that city, and
Mrs. Halderman was suspected, be-
cause it was known that a child had
been in the home of her daughter,
with whom she resided In order to
clear herself of any knowledge of the
Cincinnati mystery, she made a clean
breast of her efforts to dispose of
her daughters child.

mica of commerce includes two princi-
pal varieties, muscovite and phlogopite,
but small quantities of bitite have been
used. Muscovite is known as clear or
white mica. phlogopite as amber mica,
and biotite as black mica.
Mica is a mineral of widespread oc-
currence in the rocks of the earth S
crust, according to Douglass b. Ster-
rett. of the United States geological
survey. The mica suitable for indus
trial uses Is found in coarse grained
rocks. Deposits OF commercial or pos
sible commercial value are known in
many countries, but the principal
sources of supply at present are India
the United States and Canada. In tho
United States muscovite Is the only va
riety mined, but small quantities of bio
tite have been obtained as a by product
The total value of mica produced in
the United States in 1912, according to
Mr.. Sterrett. was 1891 S96 a decrease OF
s23,90S compared with 1911. The pro-
duction came from eight states-North
Carolina, New Hampshire, Idaho. NeW
Mexico. South Carolina Colorado, South
Dakota and New York. named In the
order of the value of their ouput. The
production of sheet mica amounted to
S45.4S3 pounds, valued at s2s2, 1928, COM
pared with 1881, POI pounds, valued at
$310,254. in 1911. The total output OF
rough trimmed sheet mica amounted Ia
over 100000 pounds in 1912.
The mica mines of the United States
are capable OF a large annual produc-
ton and could be made to supply all

calls for the softer Canadian amber
mica. This could be accomplished II

sides. This is fact that will not be
challenged by any one familiar with mod
ern agricultural methods.
The trouble is not with the soil and
not always with the tller of it, but the
exorbitant prices asked by the dealers
in this community that seem to control
prices of fertilizer. Millions of tons OF
phosphates that virtually belong to the
American farmer are shipped out of this
country every year to enrich the soils OF
Germany. England, Holland and France.
Fertilizer plants should be operated by
the government in the interest or the
farmers and the product sold at the ac-
tual cost of production.
The American farmer does not compare
favorably with the European in the same
line of work. The latter Is thorough,
keeps down the weeds. cultivates with
much greater care, and applies fertil-
izer with regularity. He has learned that
only by so doing can he reap profitable
harvest. His American prototype has

worn out, and millions of acres of this
