Uncut wheat and oats knocked
down by the wind probably were the
heaviest items of damage. Much OF
this grain was damaged so badly 1t
cannot be harvested. Although the

of southern Indiana.
Despite the damage done by the
rain, it is believed that it had one
good effect in that it drowned the
chinch bugs which had been destroy

though most crops are out of danger

considerable damage TO the growing
corn.

the storm. Cellars were flooded. and
trees and buildings suffered from the
high wind.
Two inches of rain fell.
