SEED DISTRIBUTION.


system IN His Department.
WASHINGTON. April 10. -Secretlry OF
Agriculture Wilson has initiated new
system of seed distribution in ais de-
partment. His aim is to diversity, SO
far as possible, the farm products of
the country, and to this end he is
making speciality of select
ing new and valuable seeds from
all parts of the world and
putting them in the hands of farmers
likely to use them to advantage. He
has begun the work with s~ugar-beets
and leguminous plants of all sorts.
While sugar-beets are now widely cul-
tivated in the west, the best seed at
present comes from abroad. A large
supply of these high grade seeds has
been ordered and will be judiciously
distributed.

MEMrms, Tenn, April a-Notwith-
standing the high winds n Heavy
rainstorm reported from the overiioSed
Mississippi delta, last night, the sitna-
ton in the od-stricken section, If not
better, is certainly no worse tonight.
The water which has been pouring
through FIVE big e~rcvasses for more
| than a week is rapidly flowing into the
Mississippi again at q point IL miles
north Of Vickshnrg, and is sweeping
southwark with terrible force. The
strain on the Louisiana lcyees will be
something terrific for a week, n If
they Withstand the pressure for that
length Of time all will be well.
The funhower river, which ira
verses the counties Of C0ahima, in Mis-

Two-thirdS of the water from the
Flower lake crevassc is rushing pell-
nell into this stream. and n large area
viii be inundated from the overflow.
The Tallahatchie and Coldwater rivers
are gradually falling.
Al Helena the )riveris slowly falling,
and indications are that the big streams
will continue To decline. The backwa-
tiers below the Arkansas midland lev
ees are IN a stand tonight, The num-
her Of refugees is increasing at Helena
almost every hour, The steamer Maud
arrived there late this afternoon with
more than a hundred flood sufferers,
swelling the list already there to 5000
people.
At Rosedale nothing of special in
terest has occurred in the situation.
After a stormy night that caused build
ings to rock and sway like boughs of
trees, the sun came ont bright and
clear in that section to-day, but a cold
north wind is blowing. In the Bogue
Phalia country much suffering is re-
ported. Members of the Rosedale re-
lief committee will visit that section
tomorrow and distribute provisions to
the needy,
At Grecnville the situation has not
changed, All the lcyecs along the

stood the terrible wind of last night.
At Memphis the river continues to
fall. A decline Of onc-tenth of a foot Is
reported by the weather bureau to-
night. The railroads, with one eNcep-
ton, are again open for business, and
in good shape and all trains are being
run on schedule time. Many dis
patches from Memphis have stated
the Iron Mountain was the only
