FLOOD ENRICHED FARMS.
SIX Inches Of Fertile sediment Left
ON Indiana Bottom Lands.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
Over in Floyd County, Ind. some of
the Ohio river bottom farmers have dis
covered that the flood was not an un-
mixed evil, since 1t has left ffve or six
inches Of sediment on their lands, which
will fertilize the ground for years.
This is compensation for the barns. the
fences. the pig pens, the chicken coops,
and other farm fixtures which have
been borne away on the bosom Of the
waters The Ohio River takes heavy
tools from the bottom lands at times.
but IL gives something in return
The lowlands on the Kentucky side Of
the river are constantly being enriched
by the floods. The river fertilizes these
lands more effectively than the work
could be done by human hands. II dis
tributes the sediment impartially. and
thousands of acres are recreated and
re-endowed with productive power with
every recurring inundation. When the
waters fall away and the ground dries
out. the bottom farmer stirs the soil
and plants his crops. The harvest richly
compensates him for his efforts.
During flood periods the dwellers in
the bottoms suffer losses and privations
and endure discomforts which, to the
residents of the highlands. would be in
tolerable. There are those who marvel
that people live in such places, but the
lowlanders are mostly tenant farmers,
and they get better returns from the
rich river bottom soil than would be
possible elsewhere with the same ex-
penditure of effort. The foods attend to
the fertilizing and the farmer does the
rest.
The principal bottom crop Is corn. This
staple cereal fiourishes to perfection In
the lowlands along the Ohio River, and
corn failures are unknown Some crops
are better than others but all Of them
are good. There is no richer land any
where. and II Is made so by the annual
deposits of the floods.
