SUMMARY SHOWS
GOOD CROP YIELD
Corn Only Grain Suffering Serious Damage From
Weather In 1924, StatiStican Reports.

Yields were good in 1924 for all
the principal crops in Indiana ex-
cept corn, which never recovered
from the effects Of heavy rains in
May and June and deficient sun
shine. says the crop summary just
issued by Miner M. Justin, agri-
cultural statistician of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
The growing season of 1924 was
characterized by abnormally low
temperatures, which considerably
benefited oats, but caused poor
stands and much late corn planting.
Wheat yielded well. but the loss
OF acreage from winter killing was
heavy in the Southern part of the
State, where January and March

1t took two hours, according to
Wilton, to re-route the rescuc..s in
their "crawl" through the mine.
The men are forced literally to push
air before them. AS they advance
they "battish up" cross entries to
keep the air from crossing over,
thus forcing it ahead of them. This
work Is slow and tedious. Two res
cue teams of six men each are re-
lieved every two hours by fresh
teams.
The rain added to the misery of
relatives Of the dead. who refused to
retire from their posts as men
worked on throughout the night.
Many Of these relatives were aged
women with children, who grouped
about the mine shaft every time the
cage was hoisted-hoping against
hope that husband, father or son
had been brought out alive.
Ejghty-Four Escape
One hundred and thirty-five men
went into the mine to work at Z
o'clock Friday morning. The ex-
plosion occurred shortly before noon.
Eighty-four men, many bleeding at
the nose and black In the face,
crawled up the air shaft within a
half-hour after the explosion. Medi-
cal attention was needed for these
men. Bleeding OF the nose was
caused by the men sticking two fin.
gers up their noses as far as pos.
sible to keep out the gas that threat
ened them as they slowly climbed
the ladder, falling exhausted to the
ground one at a time.
The first injured man brought to
the top was Emery Davidson. He
received serious injuries when
caught by falling slate near the
front of the mine. He is resting
well in local hospital and will prob
ably recover.
John Slieder, mine engineer, was
still at his post this morn
ing operating the levers which
send the cage into--the mine and
back to the surface.
Slieder has been asked to be re-
lieved four times. He grimly refuses
to move from his station.
II sent them into the mine; I am
going to hoist every one Of them
to the ttp before / quit" These
were his only remarks.
Sandwiches and hot coffee we're
served throughout the night to res
cue workers, volunteers and by
ISLANDERS.
Red Cross on Scene
A temporary Red Cross barracks
served as an emergency hospital for
fainting women, worn-out mothers,
wives and fathers and sleepy chill
dren.
The blast was not heard above the
ground. Check-weighman Thomas,
who was on top OF the 130-foot tip
pie, said he heard sizzling noise
and then a violent gust of air from
the cage-way struck the top of the
ttpple, rocking 1t and shattering tin
from the siding.
\ Russell Stewart, fire boss, entered
the mine after the explosion.
Equipped with only a safety lamp
he braved the dangers Of the "after
damp" in order to get lined up on
where his men were. Stewart re-
NAMED in the mine four hours. He
was hoisted to the top on a stretcher.
Physicians revived him.
