CONVICTED TTTRs. INHIBITION.

MISSISSIPPI FLOOD UNABATED.
During many weeks the flood situa-
ton has been continued. constantly in
creasing as the waters of other large
rivers rush into the Mississippi river to
swell its volume; and during all of
this anxious period the rains have been
unprecedented. Thousands of flood suf-
ferers are being fed by the government,
and thousands upon thousands of acres
Of rich lands are buried beneath the
devastating waters. We read OF Il in
every days papers. and it is plainly ev-
ident that crop conditions are as seri-
Gus as we have ever experienced in the
southern states during my recollection.
1t Is a foregOne conclusion that a big
cotton crop is impossible in the valley
of the Mississippi or of it's tributaries.
The sugar or cane crop will be short in
Louisiana. and there must be necess-
arily a far less income to southern
planters than usual
The bumper cotton crop of 1911 can
not be duplicated in 1912. and l think 1t
will be safe 10 plant cotton in Georgia
even To the frst of June, because the
conditions are so unfavorable in the
southern states at the present time.
IL would seem that food crops will
bring good prices, too, because there
can be no farming of any sort in the
flooded districts until the water runs
on and the deep mud has had time to
settle and dry out
And this seems to be a hopeless out
look. because the stock that formerly
was used to cultivate the soil sa either
been drowned or scattered beyond the
reach of the flood sufferers. BY the
time the farms could be placed in Gull
tivation again an immense amount of
expense and preparation would be re-
quired OF a poverty-stricken people.
