THE FLOOD PROBLEM.

Now thai the floods of the past two OF
three weeks are suUsiding and the extent
of the destruction wrought by them l.
being more accurately calculated, the
question of how to prevent them in
future, sufficiently at least to rob them
of their deStructiveness, is being extern
sively discussed. The wholesale destruc-
ton of the timber growths of the cOun-
try is claimed to be the prime cause of
Of floods. 1t is argued that the presence
of the forest on a surface prevents the
formation Of torrent; that the clearing
away Of forest renders the soil a prey to
torrents, and that the telling of forests
increases the violence Of torrents and
may even cause them to be removed.
That the reforesting plan has been sue
cessfully tried there is no question.
France has passed through the same ex-
perience that we have. The great floods
which occurred in southern France in
1856 due 10 the defOrestation OF the
French Alps, created a loss of 0,000,-
coo, and stimulated population agitation.
The result was the adoption of the vast
scheme of reforesting the Alps. Stable
land was planted with trees and sod,
and unstable land was supported with
corrective works. The young forests
and vegetation held the SHOWS and spring
rains in check, and there was soon no
sudden surface wash to feed the creeks,
10 swollen creeks to feed the larger
tributaries, and no mad tributaries to
feed the great torrents. The results have
been almost marvellous.
The notorious torrent of Bourget is
cited as a most remarkable instance OF
the reclaiming and restorative effects of
the system. That stream had its origin
at an altitude of 5000 feet, and had for
nearly one-half its length an extreme
pitch of 81 to 100, and created land
slides innumcrable, has now been subju-
gated for ten years by young forest Of
9SS acres, planted in 1872. The torrent
of Riou BourdOux, starting from the
mountain at an altitude of $500 feet, de-
scending at pitch of so TO 100, cutting
a channel with a perpendicular depth of
800 TO 400 feet and creating at its mouth
a cone of debris covering 600 acres, has
also been tanned and the territory which
it washed has been made garden.
E There is no question but that COM
prehensive system of forestry vigorously
prosecuted and brought in practical eff
feet would in a large measure subdue
the floods that almost every season cost
the country millions Of money, or
moneys worth, scores of lives and in
calculable distress, and at the same time
produce more uniform precipitation
and consequent decrease in drouthiness.
The question is a most important one
to the entire country, because all are inn
mediately interested in if not affected
by these oft recurring devastations.

WHERE THE MONEY IS.

Atchison Champion: There is said to
in the Kansas state and private banks.
This large sum of money, added to the
deposits of the Isl national banks, ac-
counts for the scarcity of money III busi-
ness circles. Money boarded IL banks of
course represents form of prosperity,
but money in circulation is the better
form of prosperity"
Kansas is a fair representative OF all
the states in regard to the amount Of
money in circulation, yet not in circula-
ton. The total amount on deposit in
this state viii not fall below $25, 900, 900,
and taking this as the average for all
the states, the amount thus held through
out the country will aggregate more
than a billion dcllars-more than half
the money in existence. Nor free coin
age, nor the initiation of the country in
any other way TO double the present
volume, would afford more than tempo
rary relief to the public. The volume Of
money in the country is larger as a
whole, and larger per capita, today than
it ever has been heretofore, but the
trouble is, as shown above, that it IS not
available by reason Of Its being boarded
Nor are the millionaires AID the very
wealthy of The country alone responsible
for this; the small holdings probably tie
up more actual cash than is held by the
others. And there is no way to pre-

FLAX AND HEMP.

Census bulletin No. 1T gives some in
teresting statistics relating to flax and
hemp production in the United States.
Among other benefits which protection
has conferred upon the farm
er are those incident to the taxa
ton on imported flax and hemp. The
present tax on flax, undressed, is 500. 40
per ton; on dressed or hacked flax,
S67.2 per ton; on flax straw, So per ton;
on tow, $11.20 per ton. The tax on hemp
in the rough is $25 per ton; on hacked
hemp, $50 per ton. All the manufac-
from burlaps TO linens, are also appro-
prlately taxed, SO that the manufacturer
shall not suffer from the duty laid
upon his raw material.
MIR. Porter's census gives hint of the
outcome. As to flax, /. shows the total
area of land devoted to flax cultivation
in 1899 TO have been 1 ,31S. 69S acres; the
production of flaxseed, 10, $50, 41O bush
els; the production of fibre, 241 ,389
pounds; the amount of flax straw sold
or so utilized as to have determInable
value. 201, 100 tons; and the total value
of all flax products, SO, 436,2 While
tiaxseed Is reported from thirty
states, Minnesota, Iowa, South
Dakota and Nebraska produce 50. 06
per cent. OF the total amount, or
1895. 613 bushels in excess of the entire
production of the United States at the
census OF 1880 South Dakota had the
largest acreage devoted to flax, and Min
nesota the largest production of seed.
OF the states containing 1000 acres or
upward In flax Wisconsin had the high
est average yield of ilaxseed per acre,
I1.42 bushels, and the highest average
value per acre Of all fax products,
$3.50. The average yield for the entire
country was III bushels per acre.
Throughout the greater portion of the
principal haxseed- producing region fax
straw Is of little or no value, and much
of the so-cailed flor is only an inferior
quality of tow, used chiefly for uphol-
SserIng purposes.
The total area of land devoted to the
cultivation of hemp IN 1859 was >. 05+
acres, aud The production OF fiber ll.JIi
tons, valued al Sl,i02, coz 70 tine pro-
ducers. This branch Oh agricultural In
dustgy is confined almost exclusively TO
the state Of KENTUCKY, which produced
93.11 per cent Of The total hemp crop OF
the country. The average yield per acre
for the United States Is l,029 pounds,
and tie average value per acre S4AUl,
or $50. - per ton.

CLICK a MUD JCk MAN.

From the Kansas City Star.
Ex-Governor G. w. Click of Kansas
appeared at the meeting of short horn
breeders at the CentrOpolis hotel last
night, wearing warm, genial smile and
straw hat by way of protest against
the tardy spring and the degenerate
weather. A person not familiar with
Mr.. Click might infer, after sounding
him on the 'outIook i'll Kansas" that the
statesman of Shannon Hill is more in
terested in live stock than in public
affairs. He has an amIable way of mis-
leading stranger who tackles him for
an opinion on politics which is highly
deceptive. He has been badgered so
much and SO often by interviewer5 that
he has been compelled to protect himself
by this agricultural dodge, which he
plays with such admirable skill. But
while Mr.. Click never let's his
hogs and his short horns go
hungry, he is not inattentive
to what is going on in the world outside
of his own stock pens. He is a close and
shrewd observer of events, and es
pecially of events in Kansas, of which he
was once made governor, by the vault
ing ambition and towering fanaticism of
John Peter st. John.
Mr.. Click, so far as Democrat of his
sterling stamp can favor a Republican, is
a Murdoch man. He believes that the
editor of the Wichita EAGLE will be the
Republican nominee for governor in
Kansas. He thinks this will come about
as the logical result of the fierce ven
delta which has sprung up between
Smith and Morrill,, and ho rather seems
TO like the idea. Murdoch" he says
''has been mighty good friend to Kan
sas and would like to see him elected
governor, if it is TO be Republican. He
ould fill the place with honor and
credit to the state, and his election to
that place would crown worthy am
bItion."

Friday he was out few miles east Of
town and came across a large rattlesnake,
which he succeeded in capturing, but was
bitten on the hand by the snake. Medical
assistance was soon procured, whisky was
administered and everything possible was
done for his relief, but all failed, and he
died Saturday morning.
