The Losses from the Broken Levee In
Illinois.
HANNIBAL mo J, July Ssh-The Clipper
Herald this afternoon has an elaborate article
on the losses by the breaks in the Suy levee
on the Illinois side of the Mississippi river.
After stating that the levee is so miles long,
extending from point nine miles south of
Quincy to Hamburger Bay. nine miles south
of Clarksville, and that it redeems 101, ,2S9
acres of land, it makes an estimate of the
losses by multiplying the number of acres in
wheat and corn which were overfowed by the
average yield per acre, which at present
prices would show a loss in wheat of $780,
600, and about the same amount on corn.
Other losses, as to fences, barns, dwellings,
farming implements, ETC.. will reach fully
500, 600, making the total loss half million
dollars. Not more than one-third of the
wheat or corn crop is lost. The overflow
from the break was nearly 70 hours travelling
% miles, which gave many farmers time to
save much of their property outside of the
growing crops.
