FLOODED STREAM
CRASHES THROUGH.
Water is too Strong for Levee?Bank
Giyes Way at Torras, La.?May
Add Great Damage to Heavy
Toll
New Orleans, May 1.?Another serious
break occurred late this afternoon
in the Mississippi levee at Torras,
La.? on the west Bide of the
sv/ollen stream, where the flood waters
from the disastrous Dogtail
ci evasse find reentry into the big
river. The break at Torras occurred
at 5:30 and within two hours 300
feet of the 18-foot embankment had
been carried away. A large force
of workmen and material were immediately
ordered to the scene by
Capt. C. O. Sherrill, chief of the
United States engineers, and an effort
is being made to check the
crevasse by "cribbing" the ends.
Unless the Torras crevasse can be
closed, which appeared doubtfdB tonight,
great damage will be added to
the already heavy tolls in property
destruction and devastation of farms
wrought by"the flood waters of the
lower Mississippi river daring the
last six weeks. A permanent, crevasse
at Torras means the inundation
the west JninkB of. ih^ -w^YC".
distance of perhaps 60 miles.
Rich Territory.
The territory which lies in the path
of the Torras crevasse is vastly richer
than the several millions b /acres
which were Inundated'by the Dogtail
crevasse of three weeks ago, neat
Alsatia, La., and is more densely
populated.
While the Torras break will give
some relief from the'enormous pressure
against the levees south of thai
point, the flood waters tonight are
from half a foot to two feet above
the previous high record marks from
Baton Rouge south, and prospects ol
other crevasses are extremely grave.
Hundreds Homeless.
Several hundred more in West Feliciana
parish were renorted in need
of supplies/ and frOm the Atchalalaya
and Bayou Des Galise territory reports
were received of still other hundreds
of poor people who have Bhen
driven from their homes.
It is estimated that the. United
States government is now furnishing
for for 120,000 homeless people in
Louisiana and Mississippi, and tonight
the prospects are that this
number will be) increased by 00,000
within another week.
The federal engineers have already
expended more than 0100,000 in the
past three weeks in their efforts to
save the levees from Vicksburg south,
but the responsibilities came to them
too late in many instances, and the
height and force of the flood waters
have far exceeded the expectations of
everyone The engineers are continuing
to spend thousands of dollars
a day, trying to prevent further
Di eaks, but where the flght is hardest
they say they are experiencing
great difficulty in securing labor.- In
some instances negroes who are getting
free government rations show no
disposition to assist in the work of
preventing additional crevasses from
the ravages of the big flood.
Prof. Hope Goes to Buffalo.
Prof. J. H. Hope who has been
principal of the Central Graded
school for the past year, has resigned
and accepted the principalship of the
Buffalo graded school. Prof. Hope
taught at Buffalo several years before
taming to Union and has a warm
place in the hearts of the people. He
has been* closely identified with the
business and religious life of JJnio'n
and his going away is deeply regretted.

Wheat Selection for Improving Both '
Yield and Quality
Let any farmer walk through his
field of wheat, and he will And that
All the heads are not aliko, even if
sown from the best standard varieties
of seed wheat. He will find that some
beads are longer than others, some
broader, some with more grains to
the head, and some tighter in the
chaff, and so on. It has recently become
fully known that most of these
varieties, unless they are directly induced
by a patch of richer soil, are
strictly and fully inheritable and are
transmitted to their progeny in full
vigor and perfection. If farmers who
are specially interested in Improvljtp
the yields and quality of their wheats
will go through their fields at harvest
time, and pick out the host heads
from their fields, and thresh and save
them for stock seed, they will find
that it will result in a considerable
improvement in the yield, quality and
uniformity of the crop produced another
season. Even if the farmer only
picks out enough heads to make a
bushel to a bushel and a half of select :
seed, this will give him enough to sow
in acre of wheat for the next season,
&nd that will produce a superior grade

for the following year.
We are following out this method of
selection on our own farms, and we
hope by this means to eventually increase
the yield of different varieties
or wneai wnich we offer, materially;
but farmers can accomplish very generally
the same results for themselves,
if they follow out the practice as
above indicated, and increase yields
per acre of all wheats sown can very
soon come to be realized, provided this
