1936 February 8, H. Günay, “Gezmen muharririmizin intibaları”, in Yeni Asır, page 6:Yolcu arkadaşlarımız arasında bir zat acı acı anlattı: - Yağmurun bol oluşu bağ, bahçe ve meyvelerimiz için iyi oldu. Fakat haddini aştı. Ekinlerimiz çürümeğe, tütün fidanlarımız çıvmağa, inbatî kabiliyyetini kaybetmeğe başladı. Hava böyle devam ederse Tepeköy, Tire ve Ödemiş acınacak vaziyete düşecektir.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
