Too Much Rain Damages Arkansas Cotton Crops
Reports from Arkansas indicate excessive rain has ruined cotton fields two weeks from harvest, delaying picking as mud and water hinder work. Half grown bolls rot, caterpillars invade Choctaw county, and sunflowers along the Sunflower river show shedding. Vicksburg notes 35 to 40 percent crop damage from recent storms and ongoing heavy rains. Meanwhile Mexican floods threaten the Nazco river region, with fears of cotton destruction and damaged bridges. Winter wheat millers in St. Louis discuss tighter pricing and cooperation. In Kentucky, a water spout damages railroad lines, washing out trestles and endangering tobacco crops along the Cincinnati & Southern line.
