nish4d by Chief Moore, of the Weather
Bureau, the value of agricultural in
terests imperiled is greater than ever
before. From this reliable source we
learn that the flooded districts in the
State of Mississippi, represent an in
vested capital Of close upon S42 900, 900.
Over 1900 farms, containing 100000
acres of land, of an average value of
about SIS per acre, areunder water inthe
country lying between the Mississippi
and Yazoo rivers. including some Of
the most productive lands of the state.
The agricultural interests affected in
Missouri represent total capital Of
over $17 900 900. Tennessee is not far
behind Missouri in the extent Of its
imperiled interests, the number and
acreage of submerged farms being
nearly the same. Arkansas stands
next in the extent of its imperiled in
terests, nearly 10000 farms, contain
ing 100000 acres Of land, worth over
100000, being submerged. These
farms contain live stock to the value
Of over $l,500,O00, and crops unsold
and unconsumed to the value Of nearly
$500, 900, the entire agricultural inter
ests of these lands representing value
not far short Of SIT 100000
With all due consideration of th'
glory our government might achieve
by putting through the Nicaraugui
canal project, which the administra.
ton is said to have in mind, we are
impressed that here is a critical condi
ton OF domestic waterway affairs tha
calls for a little charity at home
and demands precedence.
