FLOOD WATERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) throe inches of rainfall. With the Wabash river out of its I banks at many points and spilling into fertile bottomlands covered i with foot-high corn, farmers were: facing a problem of finding a fast- , growing crop which would ease their loss after flood waters reced, d. Lafayette reported three inches of rainfall in 21 hours, which sent the Wabash on its second rampage within a week. In the northern part of the state LaPorte county suffered more than three inches of water. Basements were flooded, several washouts occurred on county roads and a bain ; near Michigan Ci;y, struck by lightning, burned, causing a $2.40tl ■ loss. A motorist. Jack Wise. 65. of New Buffalo, Mich., receiv'd severe ' cuts and bruises when his car struck a washout. Crawfordsville was hit by the full force of a deluge which lasted four hours, recording 2.7 inches, the heaviest rain there in several years. Most damage was done in the lowlands where crops were I washed out. In response to many farmers calling for quick information on emergency crops. Purdue University agronomists pointed out that any corn replanted would only grow large enough for sileage or. with late frosts, perhaps would mature to produce fodder. , They suggested soy beans, buckwheat or millet as short-season grain crops which should mature with a July planting.
