hundreds Of millions, and making
1,0OO, 900 persons homeless.
Crest Strikes Wednesday
The crest was due to strike the
already swollen Mississippi at Cairo
Wednesday, and there still was a
question whether the billion dollar
levee system Of the great river
could withstand 1t. Still in its path
in the Ohio valley was the eyacuat-
ed city of Paducah, already sub
merged by the flood waters that
preceded it, where 10 had died and
Cairo, trembling behind its REIN
forced and heightened flood wall
praying that doom and destruction
would pass it by.
While the army modified its
every resource In the Memphis dis
trict the upper and mid Ohio val
leys emerged courageously from the
worst flood in its history. At Louis
vile, ~ square miles were quaran-
tined to avoid an epidemic Of ty-
phoid and disentery. There and
elsewhere thousands were returning
to flood ruined city homes and farm
houses, cheerfully entering a phase
Of rehabilitation and reconstruction
aided by the Red Cross and ma
tional and state officials.
Battle Lines In Ohio
The battle lines against flood al
ready were established in the low
er Ohio valley. 1t now was a mat
ter of waiting for the crest to ar
rive. But in the Mississippi valley,
mans bulwalks against incalculable
nature still were being erected. and
100000 workers were determined
that they would be so strong they
would hold.

BETTER QUALITY
SHOWN in SEEDS
Steady Improvement Is
> Noted in Annual State
Inspection Report

Hartford, Feb. Farm and gar
den seeds are showing steady Inn
provement in quality, according to
the seventh annual seed inspection
report just issued by the state de-
partment Of agriculture, but special
mixtures for lawns are revelaed as
oftentimes being of very poor quail
ity. From a total Of 206 samples Of
unmixed seeds, IS per cent were
equal to or above the claims for
termination and 90 per cent were
equal to or above the claims for
purity.
The special mixtures show that
out Of 1856 samples, only 80 per cent
were in accordance with the written
claims on the package. This type of
seed is used primarily for lawns and
the law Is written In such way
that poor quality seed is not elimin-
ated from the market but the pur-
chaser has an opportunity Of read
ing the label and determining If
the mixture contains the proper
seed to meet his requirements.
Many special mixtures are SO poor
that a. special table has been in
cluded In this years report to show
the actual value Of the seeds con-
tanned In the various samples. 1t
was found that the actual value of
some seeds costing 15c a pound was
only 8 cents while other seeds cost
ing Is cents pound revealed a val
ue Of 20 cents, and 80 cents seed had
per pound. High prices, according to
value ranging from 40 to SO cents
the report, do not necessarily indi-
cate high quality seeds. However,
the tabulation does show that gen.
orally the purchaser at lawn mix
lures has more Of q chance Of sectir-
ing better mixture in those seeds
falling within the upper price brac-
kets.
In issuing the report, the depart
n1ent again emphasizes the necessity
for the purchaser realizing the fact
that the basic grasses In the mixture
are the ones that are to eventually
make the permanent lawn and that
each mixture, excepting for unusual
soil conditions, should contain a
generous portion Of these grasses
The basic grasses are Chewing's and
Red Fescue, Colonial, South German
and Rhode Island Bent and Ken
lucky Blue Grass.

slowly at Cairo, Ill. The rivers stage
was 59.4 feet, a rise of 3 feet in "a
hours at the confluence with the
Mississippi. Moxcn said the crest
about Wednesday would be between
60 and 81 feet.
At Evansville, Ind, the river ap-
parently has reached it's crest and
is Showing a falling tendency

signals from the Seamer Corona, the
Russian Steamer Irtych, the Swed-
ish vessel Ingaro and the British
trawler Fleming. AL reported they

was using hand apparatus. Seas
were washing over her, the master
of the Cliffwood said. Lloyd's regis
ter lists two ships named Corona
one sailing from Norway and the
other from Toronto, Canada, Of the
Canadian Steamship lines.
Drifting Ashore
The Clitfwood reported that the
Russian Ship Irtych was drifting to-
ward the shore of Scotland mead
Aberdeen. Tugs were unable to get
out of the harbor to aid her because
of high seas. One hundred miles
east Of Edinburgh, Scotland, the
Swedish ship Ingaro was helpless
with a broken steering gear. The
British Steamer Rosewood was
speeding to her side.
Another SOS came from the Brit

reported its propeller adrift off
Aberdeen, almost in the same posi-
ton as hte Irtych.

Manhattan of the U. S. Lines, 6. d
the italian Liner Rex, changed their
courses to go to the rescue. They
turned and proceeded on their
scheduled routes when the Meanti-
cut reported later that she was in no
immediate danger.
A third signal brought the Dutch
Vessel Edam to her side. The Mean
ticut, 402 feet long, was built in 1921.
