THREE-FOURTHs OF CORN
CROP REPORTED RUINED
IChattooga County Damaged
by Rains to Extent of
Over Half Million
Especial Dispatch to The Iournai.)

Especial Dispatch TO The Journal.)
LYERLY. Ga. Aug. Monday mark
ed the close OF one of the wettest Julys
ever experienced in ChattooEa county,
and as 4 result this county will produce
this year one of the smallest corn crops
in her history. the total damage TO this
crop alone being variously estimated at
$4,000 to $4,000, about 75 per cent of
the corn in the county having been de-
stroyed by the high waters
The cotton crop did not suffer as bad
ly as did the corn crop, though many
acres of fine cotton n the bottoms along
the ChattOoga river and various creeks
were flooded by the high waters and
ruined. while all cotton has been in
jured TO a considerable extent, as has
all other crops throughout this section.
Crops that were not drowned out by
the high waters have been seriously
damaged. not only by the wet weather,
but because the farmers were unable to
cultivate them properly. Usually at
this time of year farmers in this sec
ton are ready to LAY by" their crops,
but this year the work can not be COM
pleted until late in August, even should
there be no more rain to interfere.
Since July 6, when the rain first be-
gan to fall, there has been less than
one week that the soil has been dry
enough to permit the use of a pillow in
cultivating the crops.
Despite the lateness of the season,
however. the farmers who have lost so
heavily have not become discouraged
and unless there are other floods later
in the year. the flooded areas-hundreds
of acres of fine bottom land-will pro-
duce one OF the biggest crops of hay.

o. the county.
The total damage to all crops in Chat
tooga county as a result of the twenty
days rain is practically incalculable, but

NEWS DfSTURBS WASHINGTON
Officials Hear Some Carranxa Men
May Join Villa,

Washington, March 20.-By far the
most disturbing information which
the administration has received re-
Gently on the Mexican situation came
in the shape of informal reports that
a farreaching plot has been Matched
whereby the Villa forces will be Joined
by substantial Carranza force within
the next few days.
The purpose Of the plot is to so
strengthen the Villa forces that they
may be able to prolong indefinitely
the activities in the northern section
of Mexico in the hope that eventually
Carranza's forces will be so seriously
affected that the United States will be
compelled to intervene with a large
force.
The fact that an attempt to compel
the United States to intervene in Mex
leo Is not news to the administration,
because for many weeks the state de-
partment has looked upon Villa as
merely a tool in the hands of the in.
PREVENTION element.
