Floods and Their Causes.
Forest Denudation a Peril TO Dwellers
in Mississippi Valley.

The Mississippi food calls atten-
ton once more to the imperative need
for forestry in this country. Most
scientists agree that it is the cutting
of Of the forests III the northern Lake
States which Is in great measure re-
sponsible for destructive floods in the
lower Mississippi valley.
The reckless waste OF lumber which
has gone on IN the Lake States for a
generation is to be condemned not
only because it is an unjustifable di-
minution Of the country's resources,
but because it entails more or less
damage, loss of life, and permanent
evil effects upon other States. 1t is
too late now 10 replace the forests
which have been destroyed by the
wanton greed of capitalists and the
recklessness Of lumbermen, but at
least those which remain can be pro-
