WHEAT ~ TIPPEcASoE-Much of the wheat
in this county is not worth cutting. Farmers
estimate that they will not make half crop.
Lafayette Journal
WnEAr IN JENNINGS CouSTr.-A few weeks
since We stated that the wheatcro of this county
was over an average. However, since the har
vest has been secured, the farmers have oscov
cred that the yield will be small, the grain be-
ing light and sbruuk Vernon Banner.
THE CRoPs-MrAxr County information
which at the time regarded reliable, we last
week stated that the wheat crop of this county
| was not injured as much had been supposed.
/ and promised to be fair: but we are now informed
/ by parties who have examined several fields in
this vicinity, aud who have received later infor
nation from distant portions of the county. that
il ia very doubtful if the crop will be half the
erage Weld and many fields which a week or
two since promised fairly, are now found to be
worthless The weevil injured the crop some
what, but the rust has proved much the more
| destructive And we are told that the rust this
year is OF a character unusual in this locality
instead of being of reddish color, il is black,
completely deadeniDg the stalks Grass and
oats are good, while corn never promised better
at this season of the year The yield of fruit
will be light-not more than half of what
would be considered good crop Peru Repub-

seams OF FIRST rate coal, from to inches ln
thickness, present themselves OH the bill sides,
that could be worked without shaft, ana the coal
brought into market at a very cheap rate In
! Cloverdale and Warren townships, and perhaps
in Madison, there is an abundance of coal, OF
easy access. and vet not bushe OF coal is being
dug FROM the rich fields of Putnam county for

il. or knows about il, or cares about it. We are
not dig gers after coal or iron, but if we would

our rich fields. Scientific investigation points
to Putnam county, and especially the western
