THERE IS SOME WHEAT LEFT

In County and Many Thousand* of Bushels WHI Be Harvested. Notwithstanding the fact that a smaller acreage than usual of wheat was put out in Jasper county last fall and the further fact that many thousands of acres were winter killed or so badly damaged by the Heesian fly that the ground was plowed up and put in other crops, there is still going to be a great many thousand bushels of this cereal harvested in the county this season. Especially is this true of tho central section of the county, within a radius of a few mllles of Rensselaer. The damage seems to have been greatest from the fly in the north part of the county, while through this Section the havoc was comparatively slight and there are many splendid fields hereabouts that are seemingly unhurt. One of the largest and best fields we have seen is an 80-acfe field on the Gangloff farm just east of town, but there are several other large fields In Marion, Newton and Jordan townships that look mighty fine and promise an excellent yield.
