FARMERS IN
INDIANA ARE
COMMITTING
Thousands Work in Nearby
Cities to Raise Cash
for 7 axes,

Although farmers Of the great
turned their discomfort into political
action, farmers of other sections Of
the country are in very much the
same boat. a survey of conditions in
farming districts served by the
Scripps- Howard chain Of newspapers,
Of which The Indianapolis Times is a
member, reveals.
The exception to the rule is the
cotton belt or the South, where a fair
degree of prosperity is being enjoyed.
Likewise, growers of the Pacific Coast,
who have better marketing facilities
are prosperous above the average.
IN Ohio, the farmers are in better
shape than last year but prices gener-
ally are low and expenses high.
Ohio Corn Good
The corn crop in Ohio is good, the
wheat crop only average" and the
hay crop short" Prices obtained
for corn and hay are satisfactory, but
are disguised with the wheat price.
Ia Dairy farmers are regarded as in the
best condition, while livestock grow
ers are forced to take low returns on
both cattle and hogs.
In the vicinity of Cincinnati, and
the large cities generally, the farmers
are in better condition than else
where because of the easy access to a
ready market without the expense of
high freight rates.
Work I'm Quarries
Poor agricultural conditions have
caused large numbers Of the farmers
OF Indiana to supplement their in
comes by working in adjacent cities
and towns. In the southern part of
the State thousands of farmers are
working in quarries. while large num-
bers are also engaged in coal mining.
Around Terre Haute many farmers
have left the farm work 10 their
wives and children and go back and
forth to jobs in the city each day in
order to earn enough to pay taxes
and interest on mortgages.
Indiana farms of 100 acres. valued
at from SIS to 500 per acre. may
be rented for $500 per year. This
represents less than pa per cent on
the investment, out Of which the
owner must pay taxes approximating
IL per cent of the value.
Marketing Developed
Cooperative marketing has been de-
veloped TO a limited extent, particu-
larly among dairy owners, livestock
growers and fruit and vegetable grow
ers. Members Of the "co-ops" are re
ported to be in a better financial con
dItion this year than the farmers who
are attempting to market their prod
ucts Independently This Is particu
larly true of the Pacific Coast.
Cotten-the "one big crop" Of the
South-is approximately so per cent
Of normal for the whole cotton grow
ing area. In Mississippi conditions
are the least favorable. the yield being
about 81 per cent, while in oklahoma
il is "a per cent. In a few regions,
notably in North Carolina, the boil
weevil damage became dangerous only
late in the summer and in some sec
tons reduced the yield by fully 30
per cent within one month.
Unlike the wheat growers Of the
Northwest, the cotton men Of the
South are getting good prices for
their product.

Some one is always finding fault.

About 2,SOOOOO radio receiving sets
are now in use in America, accord

American in every nine is a radio

Deaf Mute Oarsman
Stops Americans
For Big Honor

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Donald
Gollan, the British oarsman who
eliminated Walter Hoover, of
Duluth, in the competition for
the diamond skulls at Henley,
is unique athlete.
Gollan is deaf and dumb
cannot hear or speak a word.
When he is training for a race
his trainer follows him in a
launch and conveys all his in
structions by means Of signals.
But despite this handicap
Gollan was good enough to
eliminate all of the Americans
who tried for the diamond
skulls, emblematic of the worlds
sculling championship.
He beat Hoover, who won
the event in 1922, the first day
of the tournament. The next
day he beat Tom Goldman, the
Boston sculler, and the day
following he eliminated Hilton
Belyea, the Canadian. In the
finals, however, Gollan was
beaten by inches by M. K. Nor
ris, a fellow British oarsman.
