Crops Injured i'm johnson County.

fpecal 10 the Indianapolis Journal
FRANKLIN, July 30-Quite large num-
Der of johnson county farmers are in dire
distress over what they think will be the
loss of their wheat crop. The recent heavy
and continued rains have prevented wheat
threshing, and the farmers in the northeast
part of the county, along Sugar creek
bottoms, have hundreds of acres of wheat
standing in the shock that is sprouting,
growing and mating together in such a
manner that it will be impossible to save
1t. The wind and transforms OF late have
damaged the growing corn to very great
extent by blowing it down, and lying, as
it is. in an entangled condition, renders it
almost an impOssibility for the farmers to
SOW wheat in their cOrn-ields. The oats
crop has been blown down fiat upon the
ground, and in this the farmers also sustain
q great loss.
