Lower Mississippi Floods
May Increase Interest in
N. D. Irrigation Congress

Bismarck, ND, May 23.-Because
OF the. present damage, being accom-
plished by the floods Of the lower Mis-
stssippi river, the Importance Of the
coming North Dakota irrigation con-
Terence which in reality is an attempt
to impound much of the water OF the
early spring freshetS for use in agril
cultural pursuits, Ms being recognized
IN all parts of the country where the
problems Of the flood waters reach.
Some idea of the damage accom-
plished and of the vast amount of
water that has swept down the
Father Of Waters can be reached
when 1t is considered that the Mis-
sissippi reached bank full at March ~
and that on May "a, a month and rs
days later. an area almost the equal
Of that of the state Of North Dakota
was under water in the territory above
New Orleans. NJ
The flood has demonstrated that
the building of levees cannot restrain
sustained floods. So w.
The building Of levees has been in
progress since 1892, according to Col.
Charles l.. Potter, at present in
charge Of the army work. The first
beginning of levees, however, was
made by the French who built up
earth banks along the Mississippi to
protect New Orleans as carly as I'LL.
These extended Is or 20 miles up the
stream.
Col. Potter predicted at the begin
ming Of the present flood that the
levees would stand, especially those
on the lower stretches of the river,
the place whore the breaks have been
the most numeror,. :
Col. Potter ct that time took the
position, however, that, the work
would never end, that the work of
fighting the floods of the river would
go on forever, The windings Of the
stream were cited by the colonel as
the reason why a system Of dykes
could not be made permanent.
With the Missouri at food stage at
the present time, and with the usual
June rains still in prospest, the irri-
cation congress- may have a good OBJ
ject lesson Of the vas amount Of
water, later needed in the fields of
the western part of the state that, is
constantly. rushing onward to add it.
self to the destructive powers Of the
lower Mississippi.
