Weather Is Driest
Ever In 40 Years
All Crops But Cotton Are Suffering
from Prolonged Drought

ATLANTA, June II. - Severe
drought now prevails over Georgia.
Excepting local showers in a very
dry, but not excessively hot until the
close. In many places there has been
no rainfall for "a days or more,
breaking all records FOR early sum
mer drought during the past 40
years or more. Although all crops
are now beginning to suffer for lack
OF moisture, it is surprising i'll what
comparatively good condition the
staple crops still remain, probably on
account Of the absence OF extreme
heat and the fact that all crops are
unusually clean and we'll cultivated
Cotton is withstanding the drought
very well; in fact, it has improved
during the week, making good
growth; it is beginning to bloom
freely i'll the central-southern por-
tions, and is forming squares in the
north; boil wecvils are not quite so
bad Early corn, which is in silk
and tassell, is firing on uplands, and
the crop generally is beginning to
need rain badly. The weather was
very favorable for threshing. Sweet
potatoes are vining nicely, but the
ground is too dry to finish transplant
ing. Gardens, trucks, and pastures
have already suffered seriously from
drought, but peanuts, sugar-cane,
and rice are still doing well, though
needing rain for best development
Cutting and curing tobacco is be-
ginning in the south. Large ship
ments of fruits and melons continue

Crisp Defeats Tax
For Better Schools
Only Twenty-Five Votes Polled In
Quiet Election Thursday

The patrons of the Crisp School
yesterday defeated the proposal to
levy a five mill local tax for school
purposes. Only twenty-five votes
were polled in the election, eighteen
against the tax and seven for it. Lack
of interest on the part of the patrons
is said to be the cause for the failure
of the tax to go through at Crisp as
it did at Ashon, Lynwood, and other
districts.
Elections are to be held soon in
Dorminey High district, Roanoke
district and Westwood district. No
improvements in the school plant are
planned in those districts. The pur-
pose of the tax is to lengthen the
school term from six to eight months.
The consolidated Ashton and Lynn
wood districts will have eight months
school next year, Crisp, Eureka and
Evergreen will have six months OF
school.

The Story Of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXXII.-MINNESOTA

Northeast section of the Louisi-
ana Purchase. 1t was the Mis-
sissippi river which was the d.
viding line between these two
large territories.
The Eastern section was coded
by France to Great Britain in
1903 and became a part Of the
United States at the end of the
Revolution by the Treaty of Par
is In 1888. The Northwest ter
ritory was organized by con-
gress four years later. Then, as
this great federal domain be-
came settled and was gradually
divided into states, the Eastern
part Of the present State of Min
nesota belonged in turn to the
Territories Of Indiana, Michigan
and Wisconsin.
As to the western portion of
the state, this was a part of
the Louisiana Purchase, which
was bought from France by the
United States in 1903. AS this
region became subdivided, West
ern Minnesota formed q part
of the Territories Of Louisiana,
Missouri and Iowa.
The first white man to pene-
trate to Minnesota was the
French explorer, Duluth, who in
1878 built a fort on Lake Super
Tor and there established very
extensive fur trade. Two years
later, Father Hennepin and two
companions were sent by La
Sale to explore the Upper Mis-
sissippi and reached the Falls of
st. Anthony, where Minneapolis
now stands. But it was not I'M
til the Nineteenth century that
permanent settlements were
made. In 1922 the first mill was
built at the Falls of st. Anthony,
where were destined to arise
such important successors. In
1871, Father Galtier built
chapel dedicated to st. Paul, and
this was the foundation of the
present great city of that name.
AS to the name Minnesota,
the state was so called from the
river that runs through it, which
In the Dakota Indian language
makes the words "Minne,"
meaning Water" and "Sotah,"
meaning "Sky-colored." Some
times the state is called the
North Star State" from the
motto on it's coat-of-arms.
Minnesota was admitted to the
:: Union in 1858. Its area is S4,-
il; 6S2 square miles and it is the
I: most important of our wheat
? producing states. 1t has twelve
! presidential electors.
