INDIANA CROP NEWS.

THE news from the barley crop is
equally cheering. the yield being
heavier than in any Of the previous
five years.
THE Charlottesville Journal says.
We fear we shall never get done
hearing Of the glorious prospect fer a
big corn crop IN this county.
WHEAT harvest fairly began IN this
county with Monday last. The yield
will not be large-Will perhaps fall
short of an average crop, but the
grain is large and we'll filled.-PGr-
keT County Republican, June 30th.
THE LogRnsport Phdros says: 4
number of farmers commenced cut
ting wheat this week. It Is thought
the crop will be more than an aver
age weld. The berry is exceedingly
well filled and plump.
THE corn cropin the counties named
was never more promising than at
present. The breadth of ground
planted is unusually large, and so far
the weather has been most favorable
for the growth of the crop.
THE Greensburg Standard says:
Farmers are now In the midst Of
wheat harvest. and the grain is ripen-
ing more rapidly than it is possible to
reap it. The grain Is good, and it
is estimated that the yield will be
large.
THE wheat harvest is IL full blast
In this county. The grain is gener-
ally thin on the ground, but the ker
mel is unusually large and plump, and
entirely free from rust. must. or any
thing of the kind.-MitchelL, Lao
renee County, Commercial.
THE Owen County Journal says
Several farmers in this vicinity, who
have cut their wheat, now admit that
the yield will be far better than they
had anticipated, and like admission.
we think, will come from all parts of
the country, East. West, North and
South.
THE Columbia City Post says
The apple crop is a failure IN this
county. There will be a large amount
of peaches though. The past ten
days have been most propitious for
making hay. A large amount has
been made.
THE fruit crop in Orange County is
a failure, as far as peaches are con-
cerned, aud apples will turn out poor
". In Washington County the peach
crop will be very small; the apple
crop only a small one. In Clark,
Floyd and Harrison counties there
win be fair crop of both peaches and
apples.
WHEAT is almost harvested, and is
quite an average crop, if not more.
Oats are coming out finely and prom
ise q good yield. The corn. under the
| influence of the occasional showers
that have blessed the earth for a few
days past, and the hot sunshine, is
growing like eats fighting. - Grand
Uie10 Monjtor, Bob
TIE Bloomington Progress says
From a number Of farmers who have
examined the new wheat, we learn
that the berry is unusually sound and
plump. The wheat is so generally
good that il will be worth more mon
ey to those who have a crop than an
equal quantity Of last years wheat
The 23d Of June Is early for harvest
in this latitude.
TIE news IN relation to the harvest
and the crops IN the counties of Floyd
Washington, Clarke, Harrison and
Orange up to this writing is of a high
" favorable character. The wheat is
large, we'll filed, plump, and the yield
fully up to the average of the best
crops of former years. The wheat
harvest will be completed this week
in most of the counties named, and
the grain viii be put away. the coming
week.
DURING the past week the farmers
have been busy in the harvest fields,
during which time a great portion Of
the wheat in the county has been cut
and shocked. The weather has been
extremely warm for such work, but
as yet We have heard Of no cases of
death resulting from sun stroke. The
farmers generally are pretty cheerful
over the prospect. The wheat is gen.
orally thin. but tie heads arc large
and well filed with good grain.
The corn is growing finely, and
still promises a most favorable yield.
