THE Terre Haute Express says:
The wheat harvest is in full tide,
aud is found much better than the
croakers tried 10 make us believe. In
quantity there is about two -thirds the
crop Of last season, but the grain is
of the very best quality. The corn
never looked better than that now
growing on Fort Harrison prairie.
THE Worthington Times says:
The corn crop in this vicinity is
looking remarkably well, and from
present indications there will be a
larger amount of corn raised in this
portion of the State than there has
been for several years. The farmers
are busily engaged, with bright pros
pect of a rich reward for their labor.
The wheat crop promises to be as
good as anticipated, and we think the
yield will be greater than even
the most saneuine farmers expect
from present indications Guess there
will be plenty Of bread next year, the
assertions of the "croakers" to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
