The Ark in the Mississippi flood is the Federal directed Red Cross and Us freely donated five millions of dollars for relief work. Congress deal with this problem? How do the.

In this year of grace, however, when Nature smiles upon the land and it produces bounti fully it is looked upon by the tillers of the eoil as more or less of a curse. This peculiar condition of affairs is shown by an examination of a recent rapttt isaued by the agricultural statisticiare of this State. We And that 1* l® 2 *. Sou’h Carolina farmers produced R37A16 bales of cotton for which they received $89,129,000, or $27.08 per acre, kn 1928 they harvest ed 929.040 bales, which brought $83,- 686,000. Thi, was $81.48 per acre. Last year, a bumper crop of 1,014,682 balm brought the farmer, only $65.- 714469, or $20.39 per acre. Thus it wW be aeen that the farmers of South Oanohna, by growing 86,642 bales moss in 1926 than they did in 1925, whU» farmers in other States were aJao producing bumper crops in like or greater proportion, were penalized $27420.761, And yet they snsiit, year aJter year, in producing large mope unlam the yield i, cot by in- aect peats or disaster, over which they have no contraL The worst Mississippi f flood in a 'hundred yeans. 'Downs wiped out, millions of acres flooded, all crop pros pects for this year gone, lives and mil lions of dollars lost. How seriously What will the Government do while waiting for Congress to act? Will it attack and solve the problem far up the river at the source? Or will you read a few years hence, “Worst Flood in All History”? The weather seem* determined to do its worst in th Middle West. Tor nadoes and cloudburst# are followed by a cold wave, nrinious to crops. Some day the hunyan race will man- age this planet better than it is managed now and learn to regulate earth’s temperature as well as we regulate the temperature of an apart- monft house or steamship. Surplus heat at the Equator will be diverted to the Arctic Circle. And when you do away with excessive heat and exces sive cold you will do away with tor nadoes, typhoons, etc. Some will call that “nonsense.” They wouki have called radio, flying machines, submarines UTTER non sense. What men can imagine they can do. They will regulate this earth (fiom the Arctic to the Anarctic, all around the Equator, temperature and rainfall. That, of course, ’is thous and* of yeans away. Control of Mississippi flood* can oe accomplished NOW, whenever the Government decides to spend a little cf its money.
