Fly Damaging Wheat to Some Extent.

It is reported that the Hessian fly is working quite badly on some ot the wheat, but whether or not it will do any serious damage in general, retnains to be seen. Many people claim that the crop is too far along for the fly to damage it very greatly. Wheat cutting will begin in Jasper county some time next week, and all indications point to a bumper crop, unless the fly does cut down the yield considerably.
