Flood Prevention Plans Should
Include RefOrestatiOn and
Control of Soil Erosion, Says
Department of Agriculture.

The greatest flood disaster this
country has ever known is bringing
realization of the need for a we'll es-
tablished policy of flood prevention,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture in calling attention to
two important factors in the control
of the rapid run-off of water-re-
forestation and the reduction of soil
erosion. The Importance of forests
in this respect has long been empha-
sized, says the department., but until
recently very little attention has been
given to the effect of the continued
destructive washing of large areas of
cultivated farm land and pasture
lands. If proper attention were given
to reforestating rough lands unsuited
to agriculture, to maintaining good
forest cover at the headwaters of
rivers, and to the prevention of rapid
run-off on all sloping farm lands, the

soil-binding and soil building crops
will vastly improve the flood situa-
ton; not only will they slow up the
run-off of water, but they will save
the most valuable part of the soil
and Will reduce the clogging Of
streams which cuts down their carry
ing capacity, and adds to the flood
danger"
'In making comprehensive plans
it will be necessary, in my opinion, to
consider forests as affecting run-off,
snow melting, surface erosion, chan
mel cutting, and sitting Extensive re-
forestation in the long run by retard-
ing the run-off will supplement the
artificial engineering work. Every
dollar expended in reforesting denud-
ed land will return with interest
through the sale of forest products
and water power and stimulation of
industry. Flood prevention will come
as by-product without actual cost.
GIN at least one region the present
flood has raised the question whether
the reclamation of bottom lands has
not gone too far. Efforts are now I'M
der way for bond issue to purchase
bottom land along the Illinois River,
a tributary of the Mississippi, in or
der that the overflow lands may be
restored to their original function.
Conservation agencies point out that
this land has great additional value
for timber growing and game breed
ing, which, with reduced flood control
costs, would tend to offset the loss of
agricultural value"
The particular flood prevention re-
= commentator of the Department Of
Agriculture may be summed up brief
ly as follows: The general reduction
, of soil erosion to prevent rapid run
off and the clogging of streams;
largely increased efforts by the States
and Federal Government and private
owners for Cooperative forest fire con-
troll; largely increased programs for
public forests on tributary headwaters
both by the Federal and State Gov
ernments; much larger program of
tree planting on denuded forest lands;
encouragement of farmers and other
land owners, through State and Fed
eral aid, to plant trees on rough
lands along water courses; and
study of the possibilities of restoring
some of the bottom lands to their
original condition as carriers of flood
waters and producers of forests and
game.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1927-05-12

department believes the problem of
flood control would be less difficult.
"Reforestation and forest protec-
tion," says E. A. Sherman, associate
forester of the Forest Service, twill
unquestionably enter into any plan
for the future control of the Mississ-
ippi. Claims that the present flood is
due to forest destruction or claims
that reforestation has no bearing up
on flood prevention are both exag-
gerations. Every acre of land in the
immense catchment basin of the Miss
issippi system contributes, in one
form or another, at one time or anoth-
err, to the flood problem. 1t is idle
to say the scores of millions of acres
of forest land within this basin have
no relation to the flood problem. The
plans for preventing a recurrence of
a flood of this magnitude must, as
one of their essential factors, include
the reforestation of the headwaters of
the Mississippi and its tributaries"
Failure to hold the absorptive sur
face soil of fields and pastures against
the denudation of erosin," says H. H.
Bennett of the Bureau of Soils, "has
contributed to a much more rapid re-
moval of the water that falls upon
these eroded lands. The mellow top
soil that is gone was far more reten-
tive of moisture than the compare
lively impervious subsoil that sheet
erosion has left behind" Mr.. Bennett
believes this wastage of the soil has
as much to do with the constantly in
creasing floods as all other factors.
He says that many streams, navigable
a generation ago, are now clogged
with soil debris. He gives as ex-
amples of such clogged rivers the
Coldwater and Tallahatchie of north
ern Mississippi.
Failure to build terraces on slop-
ing fields generally and to plant grass
and trees on the sleeper lands highly
susceptible to rain wash" says Mr..
Bennett, accounts for much of the
excess of water now sweeping down
the Mississippi. If this kind of soil
wastage on an enormous scale is not
stopped, there is little likelihood that
floods will be controlled. Practically
nothing is being done about this phase
of flood prevention. There are no
hillside terraces north Of the Arkan-
sas River. Eighteen inches of top soil
has been removed from the youth
full fields in some parts of northeast
ern Kansas. The entire top soil is
gone from hundreds of thousands Of
acres in western Virginia, western
Pennsylvania, eastern Kentucky and
southeastern Ohio. From these lands
rain water courses much faster to the
Mississippi than formerly. Terraces

The Lost Chain Found.
The description of the divided farm,
by its references to the forks of the
stream, helped to show the location of
the cabin. DR.. G. Martin, experienced
local surveyor, came with many old
records and local surveys. The place
where there had been a human habi-
tation, between the right and centre
forks of the creek, had been found,
and also the spring which supplied it
with water. By digging a few inches
below the surface the corners of the
stone foundation of the cabin were
found in place. The four corners were
marked by stones from the original
foundation and rails were carried and
placed to indicate the line of the
walls.
At dinner in the evening, in Key
ser, an organization was formed with
instructions to procure papers of in
corporation and secure an option on
the site with expectation of building
road to the place. The site is five
miles up Patterson's Greek to the
bridge of Mikes Run, and one and
three-fourths miles up the run, from
the village of Burlington, Mineral
county, West Virginia. Burlington is
on the National Road, the historic
Northwestern turnpike, midway be-
tween Keyser and Romney.

City Planning Makes
HeadtUay in Country

More than 500 cities and towns in
the United States ranging from the
largest to communities of less than
5000 population are planning their
growths and are growing according to
plan," Mrs. Theodore Kimball Hub
bard, honorary librarian of the Amer
lean City Planning institute, reports
in the annual survey of city planning
during 1926 which appears in City
Planning.
: This is the largest number yet
reported as being active i'll municipal
planning, Mrs. Hubbard says, and it
includes all of the largest cities in the
United States, including three-fourths
of Nthe 60 larger cities, and nearly 40
towns of less than 5000 persons.
The. institutes map Of states also
shows pronounced planning activity
in % states and the District OF Column
bia, fair activity in 16 and slight ac-
tivity in the remaining 5. Sat last"
writes Mrs. Hubbard. 'there is no
state nor any one of the 60 largest
cities in the country to be reported
entirely lacking in some form of city
planning or zoning work.

"Hick TotOn'' Birthplace
81 of Nations Greatest

The so-called hick town has lately
become source of great inspiration
to our professional humorists.
A hick town, say the various users
of this convenient formula, is a
place where backfire is never mis-
taken for a pistol shot; where bed
time is orthodox; where w0odpeck-
ers eat up the depot; where central
can tell you whether 1t was a girl
or a boy; where the neigEbors will
supply you with a conscience if you
lack one; where there is no parking
problem; where curfew disturbs
the residents rest; where fine-cut
tobacco is no handicap socially,
and so on and on.
With no intention Of becoming ter
ribly heavy over the matter, we want
to add that hick town is place
where twenty-siX of our twenty-nine
Presidents were born and where seven
out of ten of the immortals in New
York's national hall of fame origi-
mated. A hiek town that didn't have
a name produced Lincoln Hick towns
gave us most of our great literary fig
ures of the past and practically all of
those now living. Hick towns produce
our Edisons.
If we may, then we would like to
suggest that a hick town. is a place
where boy has an excellent oppor-
tunity to lay the foundation of flu
ture greatness.-Camas (Wash.) Post.

1t is quite remarkable how much
can be accomplished, especially in the
smaller civic celters, by the encour-

one tours the country those towns
and cities where community spirit is
dead are at once noticeable. Streets
that should be paved are not paved,
boulevards and parks are ill-kept,
schoolhouses do not have that fresh

should have. In fact, there's even

Home Value Praised

One authority on home ownership
says: Half the pleasure and satisfac.
tion of owning home of your own is
in entertaining relatives and friends.
"These gatherings of the clans
these old-home weeks, when birds fly
from many points of the compass to
meet at the home nest-are precious
events, and unforgettable memories
come to life and scenes endeared by
recollection are re-enacted.
xviii the home smile cheerful well
come? Will it suggest prosperity and
comradeship? Will it be the sort of
home you can be genuinely proud Of?
Then, too, your house should be rather
beautifully human and possess it's
own personality as reflection of your
own.''

Wood Products Important

1t is estimated that more than S0,-
100000 people in the United States
live in dwellings built of wood and
that more than 40 per cent of Ameri-
can industries are dependent on wood
as raw material. The products OF
the forests range from timber and
lumber to pulp and paper, wood chem
icals, naval stores, rayon, wood-four
and thousand and one other conf
modities of the greatest Importance
in our social, industrial and economic
life. Every one, it is to be supposed,
loves trees, for growing wood is beau
tiful.

Industries and Taxes

A most excellent example of what
industry mea ms to community is
shown in the town of Rowe in Mas
sachusetts, where increased holdings
by a power company have enabled the
assessors to crlt the tax rate squarely
in half. from $50 to SIS. This should
attract more industry, which would
mean more citizens and trend to a
still lower rate. Low taxes seem to
bear about the same relationship to a
community thar high wages and mass
production do to industry.-Christian
