thrifty and prosperous, but according
to careful estimates made at Iow;,
State College by Prof. W. j. Kennedy
of the animal hushandry department
they are allowing a third OF the ag-
sregate value of their corn crop to 60
to waste every year. That means a
loss OF not less than $50, 900 900 to $75,-

that two and one half tons Of corn
silaEe and ITS pounds of cotton seed
meal are tho equivalent. for feeding the
beef steer or Its mother, OF one ton
of the best red clover hay ever cured
in Iowa. The average crop OF corn
yielding fifty bushels of corn per acre
will furnish ten tons Of silage per acre

THAT being true, 1t is easy to iin1
the value of the stalks. The ton of

a single acre, ten tons. Is worth $AS.iS
for feeding purposes. But the corn In

that from $49.aO to get the value OF

deduct that also to get the net value

proves to be 5000.

message:
Il am advised by the secretary of

with, that the flood in the Mississippi
valley by reason OF the rise In all the
rivers tributary to the Mississippi and
Missouri at nearly the same time, is
likely in the lower part of the valley
that is Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas

to reach a higher point along the

very grave danger that the levees may
give away under this unusual pressure
and thot great damage may be done
to property In the states mentioned
requiring, unless prompt action Is
taken. great future outlay in preserv-
ing the proper navigation OF the
stream.
Those levees contribute not only
tural land anG settlements, but are
also part OF the great government pro
1ect for the maintenance of naviga-
ton In the lower waters OF the Mis-
sissippi.
TT seems proper. therefore. that the
government take immediate action to
make the loss impending as little as
possible. In visw of the character OF
the emergency and the safeguards
surrounding the expenditure made un-
der the corps OF engineers, have no
hesitation In asking for an appropria-
ton OF t500.e as recommended by
the secretary OF war.
II urgently recommend an immsdi-
ate appropriation so that no time may
b, lost in taking the necessary steps
to prevent what, but for government
action, may be a loss not only OF many
millions, but OF lives as we'll"

THINKS WELL
OF PENSACOLA
JAMES sHEWAN, PURCHASER or
BIG DRY DOCK, is MAKING A
LENGTHY STAY IN DEEP WA
TER cITY-LIKES COL. RooSE-
WELT FOR PRESIDENT.

During his stay of fortnight in
Pensacola, James Shewan, of the firm
of James Shewan & Sons of New York,
has fallen in love with the Deep Wa
ter City and the ways of the people.
II was Mr.. Shewan's firm which
bought from the government the big
Spanish dry dock and he is here while
the dock is being prepared for the
voyage which 1t Is soon to make from
Pensacola to New York. This big
dock has taken a lengthy voyage since
1t was first built, going from England
to Cuba and from there to Pensacola,
but Mr.. Shewan says it will become a
creasing business makes it necessary
that a larger dock than any Of the six
he already has in use be put into OPP
Grafton.
Because Pensacola has not business
enough in the way of ocean going
ships to make big dry dock a pay
ing proposition in Pensa cola is no
reason that the Deep Water City is
not a splendid one, nor will eventually
be one of the greatest cities on the
gulf, says Mr.. Shewan, and he says
H0 Illus lIlllIkS IlSfo very plSdSdIll.
When the big dock is moved from
Pensacola it will require three power
full tugs to tow IT and the trip will
take from fifteen to twenty days. Mr..
Shewan does not know when the trip
will begin for no arrangements have
been made as yet in regard to seCur-
ing tugs and it will require three or
four more weeks to get the dock in
shape to go.
Having noticed The Journal Is ad-
vocating Woodrow Wilson for presi-
dent, Mr.. Shewan said that the gov
ernor OF New Jersey was considered
everywhere as one of the ablest men
in the country. He says personally
he favors Theodore Roosevelt but does
not think either Roosevelt or Taft can
win this time with Wilson or any
other good Democrat in the race
New York, he says, will unquestion-
ably go for Wilson If he is nominated.
Mr.. Shewan does not think Colonel
Roosevelt will be nominated but he
says when the colonel makes his trip
through the south that he is such a
magnetic person that the delegations
Will not all be for President Taft.
This is the first time Mr.. Shewan
has spent, any time in Pensacola,
having always gone to the East Coast
In the winter months. However, he
finds Pensacola an unusually pleasant
place for tourists as well as a city
with a bright future.

ALARMING CONDITIONS ALONG
MISSISSIPPI AND OTHER RIVERS
BY Associated Press.

Louisville, KY, April with the
levees threatened at many other points
by high water, heavy rains today
throughout the Ohio valley have
brought about alarming conditions
along the Tennessee, Cumberland,
Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
From 8 to S.5 inches of rain has
fallen at points In Tennessee and
southern and western Kentucky and
from 1 to 2.5 inches over large areas
In the Ohio valley and the east CEN
trail states. Heavy rains also are re-
ported from the Missouri valley.
The Kentucky river Is rising rapid
ly The Ohio has risen since yesterday
In the reach from Catlettsburg to
Maysviile and began to rise this fore
noon at Cincinnati. There have been
further marked rises in the lower
river. while the Cumberland ana the
Tennessee are going up at rapid
rate. The Ohio, which has been falling
at Louisville, will begin to rise again
tomorrow, according to the local
weather bureau.
Reports received here today from
Hickman and Columbus told of the
abandonment of large portions of those
towns by the inhabitants, who are
fleeing to the hills. The high water is
destroying much property.
