Continued Rains Becoming a More and More Serious Matter.

With more or less rain nearly every day and nearly an all night’s down-pour Wednesday night, the prospect of saving much of any of the ' wheat and oats in good condition for market hasN. apparently gone glimmering. Some wheat thrashing has been done in different sections of the county but the continued rains 1 has made the ground too soft in 1 many cases to move the outfits from 1 one field to another. Corn is still looking very well on the higher' ground, but on thousands of acres of the low ground it is entirely ruined and will not make a bushel to the acre. It is extremely doubtful if Jasper county produces as much corn this year as it did last, and we only had about half a crop then.
