CAIRO, Ills.-An estimated loss of
more than 100000 worth of crops
is feared by farmers residing in four
drainage districts north of Cairo as
a result of flood waters of the Miss.
issippi river. An area of approx
mately $4,000 acres is being slowly
inundated and all families in the dis
tricts have left their homes for
higher ground.
Hundreds of citizens are working
to strengthen the levees, but most
of them admit they are engaged in Il
losing fight. The Preston district
was inundated Friday when the river
tore out 200 foot section Of the
levee.
With the river continuing to raise,
all preparations have been made for
evacuating the threatened area.
