1000 SEEDED ACRES
FLOODED IN SOUTH
Arkansas Farmers Suffer
From Rise in White River.
Crops Lost.

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK. Ark, August 23.-
More than 5000 planted acres in Jack
son County have been flooded by the
White River. j. H. Hill, Red Cross
representative at Newport, reported
last night.
About ESQ families in the area prob
ably will be dependent on the Red
Cross for rations, he said, although
the water was not expected to drive
them from their homes.
Crops in the area are a total loss,
Mr.. Hill says, and since farmers al
ready have borrowed money on the
crops it is likely that the Red Cross
will have to support the people for
the remainder of the year.
Highway Rendered impossible.
The highway from Augusta to Cot,
ton Plant has been rendered i'm
passable by the Whites overflow
which was pouring through old levee
breaks north of Des Arc.
Approximately $50 refugees from
the McClelland-Geo area were
being cared for in a Red Cross camp
near Cotton Plant.
The Arkansas River flood showed
no great change through the night.
The river still was rising here and at
Pine Bluff and was increasing its flow
through levee breaks at Pendleton
and Medford.
100000 Acres Flooded.
About 200 900 acres in Desha County
have been flooded and about 800 per-
sons are dependent on the Red Cross.
In Chicot County about $50 refugees
were being cared for at Eudora by
the Red Cross.
Water still was at a standstill In
drainage bitches in Arkansas City.
but flood water from the new rise of
the Arkansas has not reached that
section of Desha County yet.
