Torrent Rains Wa-h A\vm\ Much
Cm toil Soil, Make Kxtensive
Replanting Necessary, and
Damage a (heat Deal of
1\>orly-Stored Cotton.
('or. of The Charlotte Observer,
Waco, Tex., May 4.?Torrential
rains have fallen all over the
eastern half of Texas, including
the cotton-growing section. Taking
Waco, which is in the center
of the most fertile section in this
ci 1. :, 1. _ it.'i.i
.H'Ul , ? 'I JIVI II.IJJS 111 1I1C 1. UllC'l
States, the rainfall has been ten
ami one-half inches in seven days.
In one night five riuhcs fell, and
another afternoon and part of a
night four inches, the rem iinder
falling another night. The result
is that the soil is saturated to its
utmost limit. The streams arc
raging lloods, higher than since
June, 1902, and great damage is
being clone, the worst being the
setting back of the crops. Inquiries
made of farmers and prominent
dealers in cotton as to the
letencss of the crop bring the responses
that it is from three weeks
to a month late, and that a great
deal of replanting w ill bo necessary,
owing to the rains. The
spring was very cold and late,
and a good deal of cotton is not
planted. In favorable seasons a
great deal of it is planted in
March. Lowland farms are under
water for miles and miles. Ten
days ago the Brazos river here
was but" a
ay, of very red water, and far
down under its steep banks men
were hauling sand. The rains
have brought it up thirty feet,
and the danger stage is twenty.
Thousands upon thousands of
people of Waco and the adjacent
country lined the banks and
the bridges to see the raging
stream. Chi one bridge all Sunday
night engines were placed, to
hold down the structure, threatened
by masses of drift wood. A
creek which makes into the river
and is ordinarily thirty feet wide,
is now four miles in width.
In the course of talks with cotton
farmers whose crops are on
sandy land, they said that the
heavy rains had washed these
lands'badly. It was also learned
that some of the more rolling
black or wax lands bad also been
washed. These continued soakings
of the ground make greatly
in favor of ^those much dreaded
pests, the boll weevil and the boll
worm. As has been stated, the
farmers appear to dread this worm
even more than they do the weevil.
Still, they seem to be in
good spirits, or at least to take
matters easy, and one docs not
hear a tithe of the grumbling
there is on the part of farmers in
the Kastcrn States, particularly
among those who raise cotton For
one thing the farmers here have
no money. Up to a couple ol
months ago they held on very
tightly to their cotton, but since
then they have been quite free
sellers, yet much cotton is left,
and never was it hvs* ran*A
probably the great majority ol
fanners were not prepared to care
for it, never having held for any
great length of time. A great
deal of the cotton is consequently
damaged, as I have myself seen,
snd of course the heavy rains, by
causing water to stand where the
cotton is laid out on the ground,
will increase the damage. Fanners,
when asked what they expect
to make, say from a quarter of a
bale to one-half a bale to the acre
It seems to be the rule here, as
everywhere else, that what the
farmers say is doubted; for example,
if one says lie intends to
plant very little cotton, it is not
believed, but it is thought that
liis purpose is to plant more, and
so take advantage Jjof his neighbor,
who he hopes will plant less.
