 The practical utility of streams for both navigation and power is measured by the effective low-water stage. The volume carried when the streams rise above this stage is largely wasted and often does serious damage. The direct yearly damage by floods since 1900 has increased steadily from s45 .000. 00Q to over s2Ss. .ooo,oo0. The indirect loss through de- preciation of property is great. while q large loss arises in impeded traffic through navigation and terminal trans fers.

OFFICIAL COUNTY and CITY PAPER
THURSDAY, JANUARY IA. 1909
Everyone ought to agree that Ford
county needs q new court house and
il any one doubts it an Investigation
will convince him Of the fact.

While visiting at Washington re-
gently, DR.. Simpson was very proud
Of his townsman, 3. 81. Madison, con
gresham from this district. In talk
ing with other congressman, DR..
Simpson found that Judge Madison's
standing among the members Of the
House Of Representatives is very
high. There are a few men in Con-
gress who are always to be reckoned
with, in all matters, and DR.. Simpson
was told by different congressman
that Judge Madison was generally
recognized as being one Of these.
He gained this recognition early in
his first session and it has been
growing stronger ever since.

It is to be hoped that the Farmers

It is to be hoped that the Farmers
Institute movement will be taken
seriously by the farmers Of Ford
county, and that they make it a
valuable institution. The first thing
above all other things to consider in
this county is the live stock and
farming interests. Mr.. Cole, the
representative Of the U. s. depart
ment Of agricultural. who was here
Monday in the interest Of the farmers
said that in this county there is no
question about farming in Ford
county being safe proposition, that
the only condition which must be
improved is the methods Of farming.
This is the question that is in part to
be solved through the county in
stitute. Every mans personal ex-
perience will help to solve it. Con
tinued tests will prove what is best
and through the institute all Of the
information will be diffused. The
immense amount OF money spent by
the government and the state in ex-
periments, will directly aid the local
farmers, because representatives from
the experimental stations will attend
some Of the meetings and furnish
whatever information they have
gained. The greatest good will
come from the personal experiences
Of the farmers themselves, because
their experience is gained in this
particular territory. 1t will come
from comparing notes Of successes
and failures. It will come from the
encouragement toward good farming
that will grow out Of their conferences.
1t will be to the farmers what good
commercial club is to the merchants
in town. They can make 1t an in
stitution Of the greatest importance
and it Is to be hoped that every far
mer in the county viii take part in
