Farmers in Flood Regions to Replant Corn Fields.

Petersburg, Ind., May 81.—Farmers in the Patoka river bottoms, who lost their entire corn crops in the recent overflow, are making arrangements to replant their fields as soon as the ground is dry enough. The cloudy weather prevented much of the corn from cooking after the water receded and the damage is not as large as first estimated. The loss in the White river bottoms is small compared to the immense acreage. Both rivers are receding and farmers believe that the danger is past.
