'BRAZOS BACK
IN ITS BANKS
Damage Greater Than Any Flood in
the Past Several
Years.

The Eagle editor discussed the
food situation today with Senator ].
r. Astin, who has a large plantation
near Mumford. Senator Astin gave
II as his opinion that the food was
far worse than the overflow OF last
spring and will cause the planters
greater loss than any food in recent
years.
Senator Astin says the river is now
back in banks opposite Bryan and the
land is uncovered except in the swags
and very low places. He says the
sight revealed by the falling waters
is appalling and thinks II will be a
long time before the effects OF the
flood are fully overcome. Much of
the land is covered with a deep sedi.
ment and with sand drifts and no
vestige of crops is left. In other
places where the water stood several
days, both corn and cotton are dead
and will have TO be replanted. Some
of the higher lands, where the water
only stood two or three days, are all
right and the crops are safe. He
says this is the condition prevailing
along the entire bottom as far as he
has been able to ascertain.
Senator Astin win leave for Austin
tomorrow or Monday to resume his
seat in the Senate during the special
session of the Legislature.
