But damage reports and health
warnings multiplied. Relief Director
George H. Goodman of Kentucky ap-
pealed for Government help, saying the
drought had extended into 80 of the
12C counties of the Blue Grass State
and that it was extremely serious. "
New Jersey truck croppers faced heavy

Flood control at the grass roots,
Secretary Wallace calls 1t. Levees,
fioodways and the other protective
devices of engineers represent the
defensive.
More dramatic Is the work OF en-
sineers: They reinforce caving banks
by "revetments wire or
willow mating to prevent securing out
Of the underwater base; they build
fioodways to divert portions OF nood
discharges into uninhabited, unculti-
waited areas: on small rivers they pulio
yalley-detention basins and headwater
reservoirs for temporary storage at
food peaks; they straighten channels
to speed the rush of water through
danger zones; they dredge silt from
main channels, drive piles to keep the
channel from spreading and becoming
shallow.
Kinship With the Tide.
The people who live in river towns
have kinship with the tide that
sweeps by. In the season OF heavy
rains they troop down to the river
side. They note the successive stages
of the water, compare previous nooo
stages. What the river does Is part OF
their destiny.
Flood stage" means the natural
bank of the river. 1t does not always
mean floods, for levees 60 higher than
the river bank. But at flood stage
men patrol the levees night and day
watching for a sign Of weakness In
the wall.
Skilled protectors of life and prop
erty are the engineers. Ask the people
of Portsmouth, Ohio, who saw the
sullen high waters of the Ohio River
glide harmlessly past their town, heio
of by a 6O-foot wall; or the people OF
Cairo. Ill, at the confluence OF the
Ohio and Mississippi, who were SAFE
behind their 6o-foot levee.
Yet much damage occurs even when
the rivers stay in their bulwarkeo
banks. This damage Is water erosion
eating and wearing away the soil
letting the needed water flow swiftly
to the sea. Correcting this evil Is
the unspectacular task OF the SOL
conservationists.
Effect Is Immediate.
The United States Forest Service
conducting watershed studies and
experiments in the field, found I'M

greater capacity to absorb protractec

refugees established by the Biological
Survey.
Left behind at dried potholes and
small lakes are the bodies Of young
ducks, the survey said. Some died in
their nests and others perished while
travelling overland with the adult birds
in search of food and water.
Rescue operations, the transferring
of young birds from the dry or drying
areas to country where water is plen-
tiful, Is being carried on by sports
men and game officials in North
Dakota.
Survey authorities said they feared
many of the late broods in the drought
area would perish Much of the nat
ural cover for ducks, reports said, has
been destroyed. and under severe
drought conditions young ducks COM
monty die in few days. The drought
area includes extensive nesting areas
of pintails, scaups. spoonbills, NAL
lards, teal, canvasbacks, redheads and
other species.
The survey said it was particularly
concerned over the fate of the red
heads, canvasbacks and other diving
ducks.

Crops Have Chance.
The hint of an answer to their sup
plications for rain was most important
to the corn belt farmers. Their crop,
already damaged in spots, still has a
good chance if moisture comes within
the next few days.
That event would also provide the
final answer to Secretary Wallace's
recent intimation that the magnitude
of 1855 drought as compared with
the 1934's devastating visitation
would be disclosed by conditions at
the end of three-week period, wind
ing UP around July %.
In the meantime, the Federal aid
program for relief of drought suf-
ferers moved on. The first week Of its
operation in North Dakota, one of the
most severely hit States, found 1000
cropless farmers enlisted In w. P. A.
projects.
In Birmingham, Ala, Resettlement
Administrator Rexford G. Tugwell es-
tinated $4,000 farm families of Geor-
gia, Alabama and South Carolina were
destitute from the drought. He said
his agency expected to make direct
emergency grants of approximately
SIS monthly per family to half Of
the number.
President Roosevelt does not in
tend to allow any drought-stricken
family to go In want" he declared.
Relief for South.
Forecasts brought some encourage

sultry spell in the South might be

Washington rose rapidly toward the

LONDON, July 11.-President Roose-
velts special commission finished q
two-day preliminary study Of the Brit
ish cooperative movement and an
nounced tonight it will leave tomor-
row for Sweden, to return later for
an exhaustive survey.
The British cooperative system, ad-
mittedly phenomenal in its growth,
and which has pread into wide fields
of economic, social, educational and
recreational endeavor, will engage the
further attention of the three-man
commission when 1t returns in mid
August.
The members are Jacob Baker. as
sistant W. P. A. administrator; Leland
Olds, secretary of the New York Pow
er Authority, and Charles E. Stuart,
engineer.
Between ons-third and one-half of
the families in Britain, officials Of
the movement assert, now share in
the system, with its factories, mills,
shipping interests, thousands of retail
stores and elaborate distribution or
ganization.
Housewives Get Dividends.
Hundreds of thousands of British
housewives, they say, go daily into CO.
operative stores, collect their purchase
tickets and receive quarterly dividends,
which average up to so cents on each
IS worth of merchandise purchased.
Cooperative leaders bring forth sta
tistics to prove the tremendous growth
of the co-operatives over more than
a 90-year period, starting with hum
BILE shop in Lancashire, to start which
member owners each subscribed 4
cents weekly over period Of two
years.
At the end of 1884, according to
these latest available statistics, there
were 1,135 retail cooperative societies
in Great Britain and Ireland with q
total membership of 7,202,721 indi-
viduals.
Sales in stores operated by these So
cieties totaled approximately 81 ,035,-

came to S797 7,894,415. No less than
2oO,496 employees were paid sl30, 0,883..
225 in salaries during 1884.
Further Expansion Planned.
Now, with a new 1o-year plan ir
operation, the cooperative movement
is taking new steps in expansion of its
activities, largely in the matter Of in
creasing membership.
The retail societies are but part Of
