The continued rains are working great injury to the corn crop. In a number of fields along the river the crop is entirely destroyed, and on the low ground where water has stood more or less for two weeks the plants have been so injured that they cannot mature a crop. The frequent recurring rains have also prevented cultivation and in many fields the corn rows cannot be traced for the rank growth of w’eeds. On the other hand, fields that were planted early, and where the farmers had opportunity to cultivate before the heavy rains started, corn is looking good. -—Kentland Enterprise.
