6RANT-WARNER LUMBER GO. Most of the farmers whose fields were anywhere near dry enough to work, after Monday's heavy rain, started in cultivating corn again Wednesday, it is probable that one never/saw such generally weedy corn fields as we have this season and neither have we ever seen the corn so small for this time of year. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stewart and Mrs. R. M. Jordan of Hanging Grove <p. returned .home Monday from a few days’ automobile trip, during which they visited relatives In Tippecanoe and Montgomery counties and “The Shades,” the summer resort near Crawfordsville. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart found their son, Rev. Olin Stewart, sick In bed from rheumatism. Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Thornton, Mrs. Wynegar and daughter Thelma, Charles Leavel, Miss Rose Renunek, Mrs. Tone Overton, Mrs. Ralph O’Riley and Miss Gladys Grant went to Indianapolis Thursday via auto to see tlie soldier boys at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Charlie Leavel got home yesterday morning at 3 a. m„ but Mr. Thornton did not get in until 6 o’clock. The barn on the Frank Foltz farm northeast of town was struck by lightning during the storm Monday afternoon and set on fire, but the flames were extinguished with but little damage. There was stock In the barn at the time, and a horse belonging to the tenant, Charles Grant, was knocked down and was thought badly injured, but It was up and about Tuesday. The writer was up to Chicago Wednesday, and crops up that way are looking no better than in this vicinity, if as well, even on the more rolling ground. Oats, if anything, are shorter than they are here and generally later, too. Here the oats are heading out quite generally. Considerable drainage has been going on during the past couple of years in the low swampy ground south of Hammond, and we believe there is 25 acres of corn planted there this year to where we ever saw one acre before. Monday’s rain vcas very heavy in Chicago and vicinity but there was very little water on the fields Wednesday. All the ocrn up that way and on the Brown lands nortlf of Shelby, where many thousands of acres have been planted, is very small atid for most part very weedy. As the first frost of the season usually strikes that section pretty haM it Is very doubtful indeed if any of the corn on this low ground will ever mature.
