INDIANA CROPS
BELOW AVERAGE
Farmers Able to Cultivate as
Rain SIackenS,

Improved weather conditions over
the last two weeks have permitted
Indiana farmers to catch up with
their work, said George C. Bryant,
United States agricultural stats
tician. Corn crop is farther behind
than others, but during the past
two weeks farmers have been able
to cultivate their fields with some
degree of satisfaction which IS show
ing favorable results. Nevertheless
some localities are much in need of
dry weather.
Wheat and rye cutting has pro
crossed at irregular intervals and is
practically finished in all except the
extreme northern counties. Thrash
ing has begun In the southern coun-
ties, but yields are not up to ex-
pectations in all sections.
Hay Under Average
Much difficulty has been expert
enced in the hay harvest because of
wet weather and the necessity of de-
voting time to other crops. The
quality of a considerable quantity
will be under the average, Bryant
reports.
Truck crops and small fruits made
good progress. but are two or three
weeks later than usual, he said.
There will be but few peaches above
MOTH of the B. & o. Railroad, where
it crosses the State from Cincin-
natl to Vincennes. Late crop of
apples do not appear as good, but
early varieties are very abundant
and of good quGfIty.
All livestock is in good condition,
with exception of g. few scattered
cases of hog cholera. Farm labor
now exceeds the demand and wages
are slightly lower than earlier in the
season.

serted that 81 corn should mean SO
hogs. Corn Is now selling at S1.25
a bushel. Pigs were moviAgt at a
price range of S6@775, an increase

HIS VIEWS ON

Unqualified in His Indorse-

Letters Quoted.

Unqualified Endorsement Of John

ment issued today by Senator Sam
uel NJ. Ralston- The statement was
in the form of excerpts from cor
respondence with friends who COM

of his name from the New York
convention, and who asked his atti-
tude toward the ticket nominated.
To New York Democrat the Sem
ator wrote:
'In view of all the circumstances
I am sure that my course was best
for my party and I also feel sure
you will agree with me that an ex-
cellent ticket was nominated, one
that deserves and will command the
confidence of the American people.
Follower of Wilson
IT note your remark that your
interest in politics began with the
support of Woodrow Wilson in 1916,
when you were still at law school.
I believe you will find the appeal
Of John w. Davis to the minds and
hearts of the American people, in
many ways, like the appeal of Wood

He said this to a newspaper ed
itor in Florida:
John w. Davis is a great man.
and his combination with Governor
Bryan, think, constitutes an ex-
cellent tcket-one for which we can
earnestly fight, with high hope OF
success"
Expects Hoosier Support
~ In, writing to a Johnson County
Democrat he said:
II note your inquiry as to what
I think Davis can do in this State
and I have no hesitancy in saying to
you that L believe the Democrats Of
Indiana and many Independents will
rally to his support. He is a very
unusual man. I have watched him
for years. I know of his writings
and have read his speeches. He has
broad education and is, in truth,
a cultured gentleman. I have said
on other occasions, what I now re-
peat to you, that in my judgment,
there is no man in this country better
fitted to step into the shoes of Wood
row Wilson than is our nominee for
President this year"
