Farmers Need Drv Weather.

COLUMBIA, July When question

that have fallen IN this State during
the last "A hours are likely 10 have on
the crop conditions Of the State,
Secretary George B. Ellis OF the State
Board OF Agriculture took hopeful
view of the situation. He said:
"Where wheat is well shocked very
little damage has been done. Well
shocked wheat can stand a week Of
rain all right. OF course, II the wheat
is poorly shocked it win be damaged.
Some wheat and oats also have been
damaged as a result Of tangiing, where
the field has not been cut.
Corn is very little damaged except
in the bottoms, where it has been
washed out. Hay is damaged to some
extent by rusting at the roots where II
is very thick. All the crops viii be
damaged somewhat as q result Of the
fact that the farmers viii be kept out
of the fields for a week or 10 days.
A. Z. Hackett, director Of the Unit

here, says:

Missouri and Illinois has suffered
the loss of millions Of dollars because
of the damage done by rains TO the

Most Of The grain had been harvest

when flooded by five days Of constant
rain. That which was not carried Oh
by the swollen streams was blown tial
in the mud and soaked with water.
Reports from various sections show
that the grain in the shock Is begin

ers most feared, and much OF IT tina
was ready for thrashing win be a tota
loss.
The floods in the lowlands hayI
brought destruction to thousands 0
acres OF rich grain that was waitinI

stances gathered up what they coall
during the storm in boats and car
ried it to places Of safety.

ELECTRIC RAILROADS.

SHERMAN, TEX, June 24.-Dear Sir:
Noting your favor Of the 18th. which
arrived in my absence from the city,
it is the opinion Of our business men
that the I~nterurban electric line be-
tween Sherman and Denison has had
a very beneficial influence on mer-
chantile business, and 1t has inquest
ionably enhanced a good deal Of sur.
burban acreage property from one &c
three hundred percent and farm lands
adjacent to the line, and for one hall
mile or more on either side, has been
increased considerably In value-frou
80 to $50 per cent. The property value
Of our city has increased very largely
since the electric line wal put in-tws
years ago. This increase has reached
all parts of the city and all of its 81
burbs, and there have been a grea'
number OF new houses erected, but W
have also secured the Frisco railroad
and the Fort Worth and Red Rive
railroad, and there has been consider
able advance in the manufacturing in
~tefests. 1t would not do 10 credit al
our prosperity advance to the Interur
ban, but the electric Interurban line
are certainly very valuable to any liv
town. Yours truly,
J. F. EVANS.
