CHANGE IN PROGRAM
ON FARM is CAUSED
BY RECENT FLOODS
(Ry Associated Prose-

INDIANAPOLIS, April 21.-With
flood waters invading four million
acres-almost one-f1fth Of the area of
Indiana-and bringing field work to
standstill, Indiana farmers are facing
the necessity of reorganizing their
plans for the years work. No great
crop damage in itself is expected, in
the opinion of agricultural experts of
the state, but the financial plight of
the farmers, with the lost time al
ready scored, is regarded as certain to
result IN reduced crop acreage.
Each days work lost on the 205,000
farms of Indiana is visualized by G.
l. Christie of Purdue university by
reducing the loss to the terms of the
work of one man, and on this basis
a single day means several hundred
years. While farm work is commonly
referred to as thirty days behind
time," the agricultural experts do not
regard this much time as entirely
lost. George C. Bryant. agricultural
statistician for the state, believes the
lost time is about 10 days.
The delay in farm work is not ex-
pected to be made up by hired hands,
for officers of the Farmers Federation
here point out that the economic status
of the average farmer, due to the low
prices of the last year, has left him
unable to employ workers, although
they are plentiful. This condition is
regarded as certain to result in more
idle acres, the crop land of the state
last year being approximately 11,00O,-
COG acres.
Perhaps the most conspicuous
change in the face of Indiana agricul-
ture this year will be the small crop
of oats. Usually, one and three-quar-
tiers million acres are devoted to oats,
and a reduction to 100000 acres would
not be a surprise. The million and a
half acres lost in the oats acreage may
not remain idle, some being turned
into corn, with some more going to
such late crops as soy beans, cow peas
and buckwheat.

DELTA BEsrs ouRAY IN
BALL GAME SUNDAY

AS predicted in our last issue the
Delta swatters came back in the
game with Ouray Sunday which is des-
cribed as the best game in many
months.
Aside from one inning air tight ball
was played on both sides but through
a chain of circumstances which no
one can explain the local boys put
six men over the plate in this particu-
lar inning,
Soma and Yirak made the battery
for the visitors while Bilbrough and
Nicholson did the honors for Delta
and very creditably too; Bilbrough al
lowing only three hits and striking
out nine men The Delta sluggers
took four of Soma and he also had
nine strikeouts to his credit. The
only score, aside from the sixth and
fourth innings. was one by Delta on a
tumble by Ouray's shortstop and two
by the visitors. The Ouray boys were
generally good natured and good
bunch OF sports. The weather was
extremely warm. in fact the hottest
day OF the season. and got the best of
the outfielders toward the end OF the
game. The box score and score by
innings tunofficiaD follow:

tain trout fry at the Community

importance of sportsmen in this part
OF Colorado to n more strict observa-
tion OF our fish and game law.
In regard to the state law the fol

miles above Cedaredge. This is de-
lightful spot and one could scarcely
imagine more attractive place in
which to enjoy a days outing. Mr..

permission from Mr.. Thompson to
hold the picnic there. Contests OF
various sorts were held and little prix-
es given and there was ball game
between the Sunday schools OF Aus

days last week, returned a verdict
after four hours deliberation for &C.

The ground on which Workman was
released was that the defendant testi-
fed and there was no evidence to re-
fute his statement, that he was ignos-
ant of the fact that there was liquor
in the car. Belluchie was convicted
on his own testimony that he purchas-
ed the liquor.
