HUGE FLOOD AREA
UNFIT FOR CROPS
Hoover Estimates 300, 600
Acres WIN Be Abandoned
for Present Year.

OF the $500. 900 acres of farm land
inundated by the Mississippi flood,
100000 acres probably cannot be
used this year for crop production,
Secretary Hoover estimated today
upon his return from the flood area.
He said this acreage presents the
most serious problem for the Red
Cross and other agencies. since the
population will have to be fed and
clothed for many months.
"-Tax drowned land is located in 20
eounrles," he said, -four Of which are
in Mississippi, seven In Louisiana. six
in Arkansas and one each In Missouri
Illinois and Kentucky. On our present
calculations, the Red Cross has funds
enough to carry these people through
to November l. with a S3,000.000 re-
serve on that date.
People Without Money.
at should be remembered that
these counties will have no funds to
meet their taxes, maintain their
schools or rebuild levees, while the in
divduals who occupy them will be
safe with the ordinary mortgages and
Indebtedness falling due during the
period. Just what can be recovered
from the loss will depend upon the
showing during the next few months.
The farm land most hurt is that on
which the third crop planted was
drowned when the regular late Spring
floods on the river escaped through
the broken levees to reinundate land
off which the early flood had drained"
Work of Reconstruction.
About 10000 houses are being re-
paired and reconstructed out of Red
Cross funds in various portions of the
flood zone, Mr.. Hoover added. In adj
dition to the $16,000,000 provided by
the Red Cross donations, he said,
about S7.000,000 in Federal Govern
ment relief service and 100000 in
free railroad transportation had been
extended to the relief operations.
BY November /, he predicted, it
would be possible to determine the
total of damage and the total rehabili-
tation needs. In SO of the counties
affected by the flood, he explained,
house-to-house canvasses had been
undertaken by the relief committees
to compile estimates of the situation.

SQUIBS OF SPORTS
By Hamlet "Kid" Rowe

Willie Henry, "The Texas Steer,
17s-pound fighter, has been very
successful since moving his seat of
action to California. Several weeks
ago Henry stopped, the once mighty
Kid Norfolk at Galveston, and then
went to Los Angeles, where he
knocked out Benny Hill, big white
boxer at Fresno; Sailor. Ramieri was
victim, by the same route at Oak
land. Henry also received a news
paper decision over Leon Crevalier a
fighter who weighs 210 pounds. Man
ayers of fighters are now reluctant
to match their charges with Henry
and it looks as though he will have to
go elsewhere for employment.
George Godfrey has been given an
other match with Jack Roper at Gull
yer City, California, May 9Th. Roper
was stopped at Oakland by Godfrey
several weeks ago in very unim-
pressive bout. We witnessed the 10
round bout between Godfrey and Jack
Renault, Sept. 8, 1924, at the ball park
in Philadelphia; the bout went the
limit and was one of those mauling
and hugging affairs, which could have
been called, no contest.
On the Flowers Walker card at Chi
cago we saw him stop a much lighter
opponent in the final round of a slow,
uninteresting 8-round bout. In the
Chicago fight he should have stopped
his man as early as the third round
but through inaccurate punching and
slow thinking he lost the opportunity
time and again. His fights are not
pleasing to view and unless he de-
velops more speed, accuracy and ag-
gressiveness he has gone about as far
as he will ever go in the fstic game.
"White Eagle" the lightweight
champion of Mexico, is returning to

Music World

In all the list of native composers
the one whose career seems to me
most romantic is Rosamond Johnson.
Audiences who hear him with Taylor
Gordon in programs of Negro spirit
uals probably do not realize that the
Johnson who made these arrange
ments was member of that famous
team of Cole and Johnson. There's
much terrain from $50 Down, Moses"
to "Under the Bamboo Tree" And
yet there is kinship between "Sing-
ing With a Sword in Nah Hand" and
"In My Castle on the River Nile" In
ballad and in spiritual it seems to me
that Rosamond Johnson has never
once lost a quality of liveliness. Be-
yond the field of song hits and spirit
uals my musical taste is not always
we'll awakened. I am moved only by
marching melodies, and whether / am
to weep or laugh to the rhythm makes
little difference.
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Gordon are
about to invade England. Rosamond
Johnson is already known there from
his early vaudeville days, and I be-
lieve that his new audiences will find
that he can make Jordan roll with all
the contagious current which he once
gave to the Congo.
Taylor Gordon is also a graduate of
Vaudeville, which seems to be almost
the perfect preparatory school for
American artistic endeavor. Among
the singers of spirituals I am most
familiar with the work of Roland
Hayes, Paul Robson and Taylor Cor
don. Since here are voices differing
wholly in character, comparison is i'm
possible. Mr.. Hayes is to my mind
one of the finest singers known to
the concert stage, and I do not hold
with those who say he cannot sing
spirituals from the very fact that he
is sophisticated and technically adroit.
To be sure, his is somewhat more
hammered Interpretation. He departs
from the tradition of the spiritual,
which is no offense if only he brings
his own peculiar warmth and richness
to the performance.
For me Paul Robson emphasizes
most of all the p-grained dignity of
Negro music. The religious motif is
powerful in all his interpretations.
Taylor Gordon brings a quality which
/ can only dimly suggest by Excite
ment." It is not precisely the word !
