Iowa City, June 20.-The food stage
of the Iowa river maintained here for
the past twelve days will long be re-
membered as one of the most disas-
trous this section of the country has
experienced.
When it is considered that there is
somewhere near seventy miles of the
Iowa river within the boundaries OF
Johnson county and that all along this
river on both sides the low lands,
sometimes miles in width, have been
under water for almost two weeks, IL
will be seen that this flood will mean
almost an absolute failure to scores
of farmers in this section.
Farmers Fare Badly.
While the water is not as high at
this time as at many times past, 1t
is a fact that in most cases OF hlsh
water in the past the floods have come
earlier in the season before crops were
planted and have receded in time for
replanting thus giving the farmers an
other chance In this case, however,
it is estimated that two weeks of goou
weather must elase before farming
operations III the low lands can be re-
sumed and by this time the season
will be so far advanced as to preclude
any possibility of more than mere
traction of & crop resulting from the
second planting.
In the work of re-seeding the CO.
operation of the county agent has
already been found to be of great value
and the farmers of the stricken dis
tricts have not been slow to aVali

perience in the matter of selecting
crops best adapted to late planting,
the matter of proper preparation of the
seed bed and various other problems
upon which the county agent is in
formed.
