of these wells levels were given at
two different periods. If the water
supply of the country had been nor
NAL. the level of all the wells should
have risen, because the underground
channels through which the water

the water level had fallen in nearly

a history Of the water supplies in va
rious regions from a very early date.
When settlers pushed across the APP
pala chians into Ohio Kentucky and
Tennessee they first depended upon
springs for their water supply. Be-
fore many years these springs often
went dry, and shallow wells were dug
Later the shallow wells were often
exhausted and deeper wells had to be
dug. Now the level of the water in
these deeper wells is at best holding it's
own, and in many cases falling. This
is the striking history Of the water
supply of the United States in many
sections of the middle west.
change in the water supply of the
country was obtained through study
of the flow of rivers by the United
States geological survey. There were
many records available both of great
floods and the total discharge of the
rivers, but none which showed the re-
lation of their flow to the rainfall. The
geological survey devised a method
whereby it divided the number of days
upon which the stage of the river

total annual rainfall. In this way it
got ratio between stream flow and
precipitation, and these records were

The conservation of the nations wa

Forests upon the principal watersheds
OF the continent, and elsewhere rms
IS largely the work of the United
states forest service. 1t is we'll known
that forested regions will hold water,
while it will quickly run off from those
that have been denuded But there is
another phase of this question whlch
is Just now interesting the government
scientists a great deal.
II is known that through the acton
great deal more water than either bare
SOIL or that which Is covered by nero
age or growing crops. By reason OF
this power it is believed that forests
exercise an important influence upon
the rainfall of the country. Thus the
clouds which carry water to the in
land United States come from the Gulf
OF Mexico and the south seas, being
blown northward or westward by the
prevailing winds. These moisture-la-
den clouds drop the bulk of their bur
dens near the sea. The water reaches
the earth in the form of rain and dew
and the winds go on. becoming gradu-
ally drier as they get farther inland
a part of the water which they lose.
however, they pick up again as 1t is
evaporated from tile earth.

forested region It sinks into the leaf
! mold and the roots hold it, and through
its living organism the forest gradu-
ally transpires it into the air, giving
it back to the thirsty winds almost
without loss. It has been found that
the air over forests is full of moisture
to an elevation of nearly flve thousand
feet. Thus it will be seen that If
there was sufficient amount of forest
land throughout the United States it
would insure an evenly distributed
rainfall as we'll as preventing floods.
1t is this consideration which gives its
great Importance to forestry upon
farms and other private properties.
When the landowners of the United
States have learned the true value of
their timber lots they will not be in
such a hurry to convert them into kim
ding and posts.
Thus 1t is seen that spring floods are
only one symptom of a condition which
directly or indirectly affects every citi-
zen of the United States. Floods not
only destroy life and property, but they
carry away the arigultural life blood
of the nation. To cut them off at the
source by conserving our water supply
is the great scientific and economic
problem before the American people.

kept from 1885 to 1907. They, show
that throughout that period the flow of
number of rivers In the east from
Georgia to Massachusetts and Ohio to
the coast has constantly become more
intermittent and more irregular. Even
those rivers which are not subject to
floods rise quickly during a rain and
subside quickly after it. showing that
a large proportion of the water is
carried off to the sea instead of sink
ing into the soil.

FLOOD and WATER
FAMINE.
By Frederic ). Haskin.

Most persons think of water as a sub
stance almost as abundant as air Even
the farmer whose crops are absolutely
dependent upon rainfall regards 1t
largely as matter of chance quite be-
yond all human control whether he has
4 good year or poor one. Scientists.
however, know that the country has a
definite and limited supply of water.
which is its agricultural capital, and,
moreover, they know that this supply
is steadily decreasing. The question of
how to conserve the water supply of
the United States, involving, as it does
flood control and water power as well
as our agricultural future, is perhaps
the greatest economic problem con-
fronting the people of the United
States today.
1t is a matter of common observation
that the great foods of the Mississippi
valley, which destroy an average of
hundred million dollars worth of prop
erty annually, have gained their great
size and frequency chiefly during the
last two decades. During this same pc
riod droughts have become more Sc
we're and of more common occurrence.
Again and again large sections OF the
agricultural west report their crops
shriveled by long unbroken spells. of
drought which were almost unknown
in the same regions not so very many
years ago.
The relation between drought and
flood has been known in general way
to scientists for long time. They
have realized the immense quantities
of water carried off by the ever-in-
creasing spring freshets are depriving
the land of water which should have
been stored within 1t to nourish life.
But recent Investigations have proved
that the actual amount of
the reserve supply of water held in the
subsoil OF this country has greatly de-
creased within the last few years. and
is still decreasing. They have shown,
further, that many of the great rivers
of the east, in addition to those which
are subject to spring floods. have
changed their habit of flow. becoming
more irregular and intermittent. In
word, it is a matter of record and not
of speculation that the United States
is drying up and that the possibility of
a water famine in this country is
to be reckoned with.
We, as nation, have never had as
much water as we needed. Agronomists
