st. Joseph, Mo-, July 21.-Other Sc
we're rains Of yesterday and today are
causing the Missouri river to over
flow its banks at points between this
city and Omaha, where it was 'consid-
cred impossible for the river to break
through. At many places the water
presents a surface from five to ten
miles in width, something unknown
for 80 years or more. Crops on the
lowlands are almost entirely submerg-
ed and destroyed, but IN higher
ground conditions are most favorable
for record breaking yields. Dozens
of farm houses, barns and outbuild-
ings are being abandoned. to the raw
ages of the flood on the Missouri riv-
er bottoms north of this city. The
losses in crops will be keenly felt by
