LEVEE BREAK
COVERS MILES
Mississippi Waters Move
Force Further Down
To St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 29.%-
Troubled waters have moved down
the Mississippi, transferring the
strain from levees in the Quincy,
Ill, territory to the stretch from
st. Louis to Cairo. In its movement
toward the Gulf the water has
lost some Of its menace.
The rivers level was two feet be-
low the top Of the lowest dixie be-
tween Chester and Cairo, engineers
for the Missouri Pacific reported.
A break in the South Grand Tower
levee system Saturday has covered
"a square miles with water.
Jackson county, Illinois, officials
have noted the unusual bulge" Of
water moving past the levees, but
engineers believe the river can rise
two more feet without further over
flow.
Many thousands of acres are in
undated in st. Louis and st.
Charles counties, Missouri, the ter
rain where the Missouri flows into
the Mississippi being the worst
sufferer. The Missouri, however.
has begun falling and flood waters
are receding.

The department Of agriculture
knows the Mediterranean fruit fly
originated en- the north coast Of

The pest, officials say, may have

fruit. Port authorities make every
effort to keep fruit out but find that
a widespread human failing IS to

Of contraband, even though it is

in the Bahamas for years.

SHIPMENTS TO
PASS RECORD
Total Now Within 1876 Cars
Of 2O,239 Mark Set In
Entire Last Season

With shipment Of 1853 cars of
vegetables from the Valley Monday
morning the total carlot movement
by freight reached 20,1C3 cars,
within 1856 of-the 20,239 car record
freight movement for the entire
1929 season. Shipments Of
Tuesday morning were expected to
pass that record.
The entire movement for the
last Season in CARROTS, including 213
cars shipped by express, was 20,452
cars. The express movement in
carlots to date this year has been
$50, according to E. S. Wofford,
American Railway Express Co.
agent at Harrington, making the to-
tai freight and express carlot
movement for the year 20,253 cars
for the present season, or 1919 cars
behind the record for the season
before. This figure represented a
high point in Valley shipments to
that time.
Mr.. Wofford said z more baggage
cars loaded with Valley produce
nave left the Valley every morning
during April and that four cars had
left each morning before that time.
These shipments are in less than
car lots and would raise the total
several hundred cars. Each bag
gage car carries around $4,000
pounds of fruit and vegetables, or
from 5000 to 1000 pounds more
than usually is loaded in a solid
express car.
1t is estimated that shipments for
May will bring the total carlot
movement for the season to be-
TWEEN $4,000 and $4,000 cars.
