Worst Conditions Prevail in

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 16.-The
continued drought greatly reduced
Indiana corn prospects during July,
according to the monthly report Of
the United States department of ag-
riculture, division of crop and live
stock estimates. and the Purdue
university department of agricul-
tural statistics, announced by M.
M. Justin of Purdue. The most
damage occurred in the territory
between the east fork of White river
and the Ohio river. The damage
diminishes to the northward and
north of a line through Indianap-
oils corn prospects are fair, al
though conditions are spotted.
The acreage of corn is placed at
4.248, 900, with an estimated produc-
ton of 1884, 900 bushels for the
state. The average condition of corn
oye~ the state is reported as 81 per
cent of normal, although in the
south central portion it is reported
at 40 per cent of normal.
Winter wheat was of unusually
high quality, and this increased the
average yield to eighteen bushels an
acre, bringing the total production
of the state to l per cent above the
1929 production.
Oats were estimated on Aug. !
to have a yield Of two bushels to
the acre higher than the month
previous. with a total production
of 1892 900 bushels for the state.
This is II per cent of normal
yield, but only 1 per cent below the
1929 production.
Meadows have made little growth
since cutting; new clover stands are
believed to have been killed by
drought; pastures are poorest in
many years. The outlook for forage
is poor, and livestock will be ad-
yersely affected for more than a
year.
SoybeanS have stood the drought
better than most crops. Potatoes
have suffered less than expected,
but the crop is estimated short of
the 1929 production. Apples are re-
ported about one-f1fth of normal
crop, pears slightly better, and
grapes, SO per cent.
For every available farm job there
are 1.57 men to take it, according to
