Indiana Crop Report

INDIANA CROP REPORT.

News from the Fields Is Generally of an Encouraging Nature.

Indianapolis, July 6. - The Indiana weekly crop bulletin issued Tuesday notes that cool, fair weather favorable to harvesting prevailed during last week. Light, widely distributed showers occurred one or two days. Corn is growing rapidly in clean fields, and much is "laid by." Early planted corn is tasseling, but rain is needed in some fields. Tobacco grows well. Tomato plants, watermelons and cucumbers, planted in great abundance, are growing nicely. Oats are filling well and beginning to turn. Potatoes promise a good crop. The planting of late potatoes continues.

Wheat and rye are in shock, and thrashing has begun in the greater portion of the state. In some localities in the northern portion the harvest has only just begun. The yield in many fields is good, both as to quality and quantity, but in some fields it is poor. The first wagon load of new wheat has come to market. Haying is nearly done and good crops were secured. Berries are abundant and grapes promise well.
