DROUGHT CAUSING LOSS
IN FARMING DISTRICTS
Serious Condition of Crops in Chester
County-Disease Threatened.

PHOENIXVILLE, Pa. Sept. 24-The
is working great harm with the growing
corn crop, which is drying in the husks,
and unless rain comes within a few days
the crop will be practically lost The
threatened disaster to the late corn crop
has to an extent affected business and
the farmers are spending less
The long drought has resulted in 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
neghboring farms.
A few scattered cases OF typhoid fever
have appeared In the nearby townships,
while the town Is free of the disease.
Those cases, the health authorities be-
lieve, have their origin In bad water sup
plies caused by the drought, and an exam
inatlon OF the water sources of all the
dairy farms supplying Phoenixville with
milk will be made and samples of the
supply taken for analysis
WOODBURY., n. j.. Sept. 24.-The dry
weather in this section Is getting to he n
serious matter. Farmers are hauling
water for their stock and householders
are carrying it, There has not been any
rain for six weeks and this is detrimental
to sweet potatoes very few Of which
have been dug. Farmers say that the
crop Will be very poor unless rain comes
within day or two. Lawns around the
city are burning up and fields are as bare
as when the army worm visited them
The drought does not affect factories, as
most or them have their own plants.
