MILLIONS VIRGINIA 0SS BY DROUGHT Desolation Sweeps Land in Many Sections, Declares Agriculture Official. By the Associated Pre RICHMOND, Va., August 13.—Mil- llons of dollars® loss has been suffered by the farmers of Virginia, and crop conditions are alarming on account of the drought, declared J. J. Owen, as- sistant state commissioner of agricul- ture today. In many sections of the state,. he said, desolution has swept the land. The blue grass region of the south- west section alone has escaped the draught, he said. “The entire section between Rich- mond and Danville, the heart of the tobacco area. has been severely dam- aged by lack of rain,” Mr. Owen de- clared. “Our estimates for August 1 show fhat the tobacco vield will be 47 per cent less than the record crop of "180.000.000 pounds of last year. The significant thing Is that there have been thirteen days of continued drought since August 1, and the effect on_tobacco been térrific. ‘The early corn crop was one of the finest in vears, but the drought struck it when it was beginning to ear. The silks have dried up or are drying up. and consequently rain now cannot save the early crop. Later corn has had little growth and is burning up.” % —_— CULPEPER. CULPEPER, Va.
