Dredging Planned By Two Counties Hoping To Reduce Future Crop Loss Twelve miles of main ditch and ten miles of tributaries will be constructed in Grant and Blackford counties in dredging operations on Walnut creek. Beginning of the 1000.00 project was cleared in Blackford circuit court this week. This action, it is hoped, will reduce future crop losses on approximately 18.000 acres of land in the two counties. Special judge Homer J. Byrd, of the Wells county circuit court, ended proceedings begun in 1951 this week. The case involved 47 remonstrances by land owners ob- ; jecting to assessments, which were reduced approimately 30 per cent - through court rulings. Farmers in the Blackford coun- ! ty district are also thinking of

planning a drainage maintenance district to keep the Blackford county part of Walnut creek in repair so that periodic dredging would not be necesary. Walnut Creek, a tributary of the Miss Missisnewa Sinewa river, was dredged in 1833 and 1884; when swampland was converted into farmland, and again in 1917 and 1937.
