NATURES LAST STAND
Mississippi Bottom Lands a Reservoir
OF Flood Water and Wild Life.

Prin. S. S. McNelly and Editor Sher
man and son, Roger, tramped the Mis-
sissippi bottoms above Potosi Thurs
day afternoon in pursuit of the succu-
lent Morchella Escullenta but the
toothsome mushroom needs warmer
weather and rain and the trip was
fuitless in that respect However, the
mixers thoroughly enjoyed the outing
The Mississippi lowlands, from Lake
Pepin, Mimi, to Rock Island, ILL.,, are
included in the government wild life
preserve project and for that reason
any part of the bottoms, wild and
primitive region as yet practically un-
spoiled by the devastating hand of
man, is interesting. Lakes and bay
Gus exist in countless number They
are filled by the annual river rise and
kept stocked with fish by the same
means. These bayous afford a natural
hatchery for fish of all kinds and they
are also the home of innumerable wat
er fowl. Trees nearly every variety
common to this region, excepting con-
lfers, are to be seen on every hand
Birches in stately colonies, whole
thickets of naples in every stage of
growth, stately oaks, quaking aspens,
weeping willows, massive elms, linden,
walnut, ETC., are to be found on the
bottoms. One of the prettiest sights
to be seen is any of the big meadows
of marsh grass. They look for all the
world like big prairie with the wind
ripping over it. The bottom soil is
rich but it is inclined to be swampy
and subject to frequent overflow. In
general reclamation projects have not
been successful. 1t seems best to
leave the alnds as nature devised them
AS reservoir for flood waters of the
river and the habitat of wild life of
all kinds. At least one thinks so as
he wanders in the green stiffness, sees
the sun sitting shafts of light down
through the trees and catches an oc-
casional glimpse of the verdure clad
bluffs on each side A few miles away
plowland, civilization and Ford cars
on the dusty high roads. And here
