The Corn Crop in Illinois

from the Bloomington Pantagraph.I
Soon after the heavy frost, we became
satisfied that the damage to our corn crop
was much greater than was generally sup
posed, but we hoped against hope that all
would come out right after all. But the
truth is gradually breaking out in Central
Illinois that the corn crop is seriously in
jured. The freeze was so severe that very
little corn in some localities will be sound.
The farmers have been through their
fields looking for sound corn for seed, and
very few fields prove to be ripe and hard.
Many farmers declare they can hardly
find enough for seed, others have given
up the attempt and will buy seed. It is
almost certain that not half the crop is
sound, while but little will escape shrink
age. All the corn will do for feed, but
we greatly fear that more of our harvest
viii in the market be graded rejected"
than has been supposed.
