Floods Sweep
Drought Area
In Middle West
Des Moines, lowa, June 26.—The
Middle West, burned by drought
and choked by dust last year, to
night counted three dead and ex
tensive crop and property damage
from torrential rain.
Flood waters swirled in lowa and
Missouri. Downpours ranging up
to three inches fell in Kansas.
General rains saturated the Mid
west.
Harvest and planting delays
caused by excessive precipitation
swept grain prices upward on the
Chicago market. There the situa
tion was termed “alarming.”
Ninetv minutes brought a down
pour of 2.9 inches at Council
Bluffs and Omaha. Officials called
out snow plows to scrape the mud
and debris from the pavement.
The muddy Missouri crept to
within 16 inches of flood stage at
Rulo, Mo. If it reaches a stage
of 11 feet near the mouth of the
Nemaha river, disastrous floods will
result.
Manv buildings, normally high
above the Missouri river at Rulo,
were accessible only by boat.
Thousands of acres of land were
under water. —Asheville Citizen.
