The wheat.

Bad news of the wheat in the central por-
tion of the state is coming in as we antici-
pated. In Tippccanoe county, the Lafay-
cite Courier says, the wheat in some
neighbcrhoods will be failure. One very
intelligent farmer said that he could not
get fifty bushels from forty acres. The
trust" has damaged the late wheat badly.
In southern Indiana the crop was SO far
advanced as to be beyond danger when the
trust" came, and in the northern portions
it seems to nave escaped also. but in the
central the later fields are considerably
blighted. 1t will be hard to guess. for q
while, what the damage to the aggregate
crop is. In Carroll County, the Delphi
Journal reports a harvest fifty percent bet
ter than that of the last year.--Lad. jour.
