IN the more northern counties the harvest is
less advanced, and. in Allen and Porter
counties 1t has not yet begun: the yield is
very good, both as to quality and quantity;
the headS are well filled, the grain plump
and the straw long; in only a few local-
Ties dld the fly and rust do injury enough
to diminish the yield. A good crop of rye is
harvested in all portions. Haying continued
under most favorable weather conditions:
immense crops of fine quality have been
cured and housed; the hay seems to be of
better quality than usual An excellent crop
OF clover has been secured, and the cutting
OF a superior crop of timothy has begun.
oats are ripening rapidly and turning yell
harvest has begun; the yield will appar-
entity, be better than last year; the heads
are large and well filled, but the straw is
short, and the crop will be difficult to cut in
some fields.
Corn is in fine growing condition. being
or fresh, green color and il stands we'll in
cultivated and clean fields: most of ii is
laid by. Early potatoes yield we'll. and they
well, but need rain. Field beans have been
