Jasper County Wheat Yield Will Be a Very Good One.

Reports from various counties of the state tell of the preparations of the fanners to cut their wheat crop, and that it is probable that a great many in this county will do the same very soon. The fine weather of the last few days has certainly been a great help .in preparing the wheat for cutting. While the amount of wheat that will be harvested this year in Indiana is not as large as last year or the year before, the quality promises to be better. The damp weather this year has made clean cultivation of corn fields rather difficult, especially in the low places, but the crop of corn and oats promises to be goo<l in spite of the weeds and the backset of the weather. This has been an excellent season for hay, the rains causing the grass and hayfields to make a good growth, and although the farmers hive been delayed frequently by the frequent rains, the majority of the hay crops have been gotten into the cl§ar before spoiled. Over in Newton county the crops are generally much better than in Jasper, and on a trip through a large part of that county a few days ago the writer Saw many fields of corn waist high, and no weeds in sight.
