Indiana crop prospects show large corn oats and wheat yields
Indiana weather in July 1917 favored crops except fruit. Wheat heads out strong and oats head well as cutting starts June 20. Corn acreage reaches a state history high despite 160000 acres flooded earlier. Potatoes and hay show mixed outcomes with some weed issues. Apple and peach damage from June rains reduced their condition. Geo. O. Bryant, Field Agent.
