OHIO RIVER HAS GREAT DISCHARGE
Greater Than That of Upper Mississippi
and Missouri Rivers Combined.

In volume of water, Ohio river is the
main tributary of the Mississippi. Its
mean discharge, according to the rec
ords Of the United States geological sur
vey, is about 100000 cubic feet per
second, which is much more than the
discharge of st. Lawrence river at 0g-
densburg, N. ", although the drainage
area of the st. Lawrence is nearly twice
that of the Ohio. The maximum flow
of the Ohio is approximately 100000
cubic feet per seeond-about 80 times
the low water flow.
A comparison of records of flow of
Ohio river with those of the upper Mis-
sissippi and Missouri shows that al
though its drainage area is but one
third that of the combined Mississippi
and Missouri, it's mean and low water
flow is l.3 times as great as their com
bined flow, and its maximum flow is
l.5 times as great This fact is &C.
counted for by the greater rainfall in
the Ohio basin and by the general char
acter of the region.
The Ohio basin affords many oppor-
tunities for storage, especially on the
southern tributaries. From topographic
maps of the geological survey covering
part of the drainage area of the Ohio
a large number of reservoir sites have
been located, some of them of enor-
nous capacity. Careful surveys would
undoubtedly show many suitable sites
for dams that would impound large res
ervoirs.
The magnitude of such a flow as that
Of the Ohio may perhaps be better APP
preciated if it is stated that dis
charge Of 100000 cubic feet per Sec
ond would in one day cover $4,000
acres to depth of | foot

National Stock Yards, Illinois, April
30.-Cattle fed at the Mississippi Agri-
cultural College brought higher
price at the st. Louis national stock
yards yesterday than has ever before
been paid for Mississippi cattle FOR
slaughter Ordinary Mississippi steers,
fed $50 days on bulls, cotton-seed meal
and five pounds of hay per day, sold
at $3.50 per hundredweight, which is
fifteen cents higher than the top price
at Kansas City today for the best ma
tive beef steers and $2.S5 per hundred
weight higher than Texas grassers
brought on this market yesterday.
Professor E. R. Lloyd, of the Mis-
sissippi Agricultural College expert
mental station at Oktibbeha county,
Mississippi, says in an interview, pub
lished under double headlines, that
this achievement of Mississippi cattle
dispels the idea that the cattle of that
state are fit only for grassing.
His statement is attracting much at
tention here because the report was
printed in the st. Louis GlobeDemo
crat Sunday that the Louisiana corn
crop now amounted to more than the
cotton crop, being worth $35,000,00C
and thus indicating to the people Of
this section that Mississippi, Louis
lana, Alabama and Arkansas can du
plicate the experiment Of Missouri ant
Illinois in raising corn and producing
value Of land in that section to thu
corn-fed live stock that will bring thu
same level 1t is here. During the pas
ten years corn-fed livestock in these
two states have doubled farm lane
values, bringing them to a total o
100000, but the corn crop in thi'
vicinity was very poor last year ant
native cattle are consequently scarce
and high.
Prof. Lloyd makes no mention o
corn as food for Mississippi cattle
but compares the different rations o
cotton seed meal and bulls, addin,
hay to this in some instances ant
silage in others. The total invest
ment in the four lots of twelve hea'
each was $2,1O4.49, the total profit
s1,235.O9, or over one hundred pc
cent This equals the record made b.
the Tennessee Agricultural Colleg'
which sold sattle fed at it's Wester
Tennessee station at this marke
about ten days ago.
