Morris tribune., 1881-09-15

The effects of the drouth over almost all
OF the entire eastern half of the country,
with the exception of some of the New
England states, can now be measured with
some degree of accuracy. The drouth came
SO late that wheat was by no means the
greatest sufferer, though in some localities
the yield was brought down fifty per cent.
Corn suffered far worse. In some parts of
Pennsylvania, in western New York, Ohio
Southern Michigan, and Illinois no more
than half the crop can now be realized.
Indiana, Kentucky and southern Illinois
report a quarter or third of a cror. All
through the south the corn is blighted, the
cotton crop greatly injured, and all forms
OF vegetation are suffering. The land is
dried to great depth. The pastures are
burned up and cattle and sheep are growing
thin and scraggy from their scanty pickings
of dried grass. In New Jersey the corn is
being cut for fodder and all farming in
terests are suffering. Tobacco is greatly
injured in Kentucky. In Virginia and Ten
nessee, the tobacco producing states where
the drouth is felt in equal severity, it is
said there is failure of two thirds of the
tobacco crop. These details embrace but
few OF the endorsements occasioned by
the drouth. Reports from various states
show that springs, wells and small streams
have dried up to an unprecedented extent,
that water is sold by the hogshead and that
cattle have to be driven miles to water and
that potato and other crops are less than
half the usual average. A striking evidence
of the effect of the drouth is seen in the
factthatthe price of corn has gone up in Chi
cago, from 40 cents in Jnne to 65 and now
predictions are rife that it may reach 80
cents.
