It is not believed that the crop prospects in ceutral Indiana have been materially injured /by th« storms as yet, nor, in fact do we believe they hayo been at all seriously affected in any portion of thd state.

But the wheat can all be saved by the cradle or sickle, and there is plenty of time yet for the corn to come out. On the whole we see no re.ason as yetto doubtthalihe crops in Indiana this year wiil he the best we have had for several years.— Indianapolis Journal.
