Wheat Crop Damaged.

The Lafayette Courier says .the* Indiana wheat crop is damaged 50 per cent hv winter kalfc aerardinig to io-~ .Sian and farmers of ®pT county. Great damage has been done to crpps in the community sui rounding Lafayette because of insufficient snow covering during the coldest weather of several years. The crop last year was light, being badly damaged by the Hessian fly. There is no repispn to believe, according to far- * mers, that the fly will not be in evidence again this year and in such a case it is probable that the harvest in Tippecanoe county will be one of the lightest per acre in history.
