corn crop, which is drying in the husks,

the crop will be practically lost. The
threatened disaster to the late corn crop

the farmers are spending less.
The long drought has resulted in a lack
OF water in many small streams which
furnish motive power for country mills,
and wells on farms have gone dry The
mills have necessarily ceased to run and
many farmers whose wells are dry are
compelled to haul their supply from

tary Of the Treasury McAdoo today
fired a broadsde at the New York
banks. He called attention to the fact
fused to refund certain short term notes
of the State of Tennessee.
Mr. McAdoo in his statement asserted
that If further attempts to refund the
Tennessee notes failed, he personally
would find banks in other parts of the
funding. He said:
Senator Lea. of Tennessee, informs
me that the State of Tennessee has ST.
100000 of short term notes maturing Oc-
tober /; that the State desires to renew
or extend $1,400,O0 of these notes that
a commission representing the State has
been in New York for some time trying
to effect this loan, but without success
ut is preposterous that one of the
great States of the Union should find it
impossible to procure from the banks
such a comparatively small amount of
money.
senator Lea informed me that he was
going to New York last night for the
purpose of joining the commission in its
efforts to secure the needed loan. If
Senator Lea and his associates are uh-
able to procure from banks in the city
of New York, or elsewhere today, and
