FLOOD LOSSES HEAVY
 0N MUsKRAT FARMS

WASHINGTON, July 12. (P)-Ad- vices reaching the Department or Ag- riculture from the Mississippi flood area show tremendous losses to fur farmers on the lower Gulf coast.
 Muskrats are reported to have died by the thousands when trapped and drowned in their homes by a sudden rush of water. The crest ofthe flood was spotted with lifeless, floating bodies.
 Great loss is said to have resulted from the onrush of water when dams were dynamited to lessen the burden of natural channels.
 Rafts, piled high with brush and mud and set af1oat as a haven of re- fuge, were of little use.
