CONTROL OF THE KANSAS RIVER
 FLOODS.
Planting Advised by the Bureau of Forestry, Last Years Loss Over
 Twenty Million DOIlnrs

twenty MlIllOn DOAIurS.
 The Kansas River floods have called new attention to the methods recently advocated by the Bureau of Forestry for controlling the course of the stream and for repairing the damage to inun- dated farm lands. The high-water mark this summer Is 10 feet lower than that of last season. nor Is the property loss comparable to that of a year ago, when the damage wrought exceeded $20,000,000 and when over 100 lives were sacrificed. But in per- manent injury to the productive capa- city of the region 1t may well be that the river has delivered a second blow as serious as was the first. The flood of 1903 was the greatest since IS44. Until year ago the valley of the Raw was as fertile as any on this continent. For centuries the strips of woodland along the banks of the river bed im- peded the rush of oVerflowS, and the silt that built up the rich land had been precipitated. But under agri- culture the trees were gradually cut down. in many cases right to the waters edge. The result was inevit- able. In its natural course the river runs rather slowly and with many windings through it's flat meadows. But when it overfiowed .the water swept straight down the valley. Cn- impeded by trees. 1t increased its velo- city. in some places cutting for itself new channels. and for almost the whole 120 miles of the valley not only deeply eroded the river banks but played havoc with the valuable farm lands. In some places the rich soil was cut away to the barren sands or gravels; in others coarses sand was laid and feet deep over the fields; in stiIl other places great holes were gouged out and lakes formed acres in extent. Of the 250,- 900 acres of remarkable fertile lands worth from S10O to $250 an acre. which the valley contained, 10000 acres were destroyed for agricultural purposes, 10000 acres more were dam aged 50 per cent of their value. and the whole area was greatly depreciated in va1i4e owing to the general sense of
