CUch Damage to Farms This
Year, But Danger of 1927
Deluge Past
WASHINGTON, July 13 (AP)
Although floods have been more
numerous this year than last in
Use network of rivers which make
an the Mississippi system, the dan
ger of a repetition of the great
torrent which brought disaster to
the valley In 1927 has passed.
Many of this year's floods have
caused considerable damage to
crops being greater in some local
ities than those which culminated
i the 1927 deluge. In that year
most ot the flood3 came before the
principal crops were planted, but
this year they have been later,
have destroyed the promising pro
duct of much labor in the fields
and have-left little opportunity
s for replanting.
Such disasters as the 1927 flood
depend on the " synchronisation of
at number of weather' factors, be
ginning in the fall and continuing
through the winter and spring. In
that year the "timing of these
ments of disaster wan almost
perfect,- This year the conditions.
Mt observed by Dr. Harry C.
Frankenfleld. chief of the river
and flood division of the weather
bureau, have been quite different.
-The rainy season ibis year has
been characerfxed ; by more per
sistent but not such 'heavy ra In
fill tas occurred a year ago, and
last fall wag relatively dry com
pared with. tb unusually wet con
ditions which prevailed in 192C,
particularly in eastern Kansas and
Ml BY

UlSSlSSIPPi
WON
REPEAT OVERFLOW
Eastern Oklahoma, where the fist
signs of the impending flood ap
peared.
This unseasonable rainfall, at
tended by local floods, continued
through September and October,
spreading to Missouri, Illinois and
Arkansas. As a result alt ot the
big tributaries and most ot tbe
little ones In that region were
kept bank-full when normally
they would have been carrying low
volumes of water, and the ground
was saturated to capacity. By the
time tbe water rains began there
was no place for their torrents to
go except into the already swollen
streams. .
. Heavy rains In Tennessee late in
December flooded the Tennessee
and Cumberland rivers, the latter
reaching record heights. By Janu
ary 1, they bad emptied their bar
ren Into the Ohio to be spilled Into
the Mississippi at Cairo. That was
the real beginning of the Missis
sippi flood of 1927 which had
eleven distinct crests before it
ended.
Through January and February,
the rains were sufficient to keep
the rivers full, with occasional
downpours bringing flood stages.
In March heavy rains fell over the
watersheds of all of the rivers
except the Ohio, which neverthe
less had to carry great volumes of
water into the - Mississippi. Its
crest met those coming out of the
Missouri, Des Moines and Illinois
rivers. They were Joined by those
of the White, St. Francis and Ar
kansas rivers, and the disaster was
In full play.
When the winter rains began
late last autumn, however, the
more normal conditions which had
prevailed during the fall and left
the ground much more ready to
absorb the water and the river
beds with more space to carry off
the surplus. By the end of Jenu
ary it had become reasonably cer
tain that the valley as a whole
would be spared the experience it
had gone through In the preceding
spring and summer. This has been
borne out by the action of the
floods which have developed, their
crests entering the Mississippi In
such , order that they have not
piled up on each other.
COLLEGE CLOTB
Tradesmen Pleased and Dis
pleased at Young Ideas in
What to Wear
PORTLAND. July 18. (AP)
College youths are at once the
pleasure and pain of the clothing
trade. The pleasure because the
boys do wear lots of clothes al
most every student has at least
one suit and the pain because
they insist on being free thinkers
In style; they wear what strikes
their fancy and sometimes it is
very fancy.
This was the essence of a talk
today by Paul D. Green of Eu
gene, before the session ot the
Oregon Retail Clothiers' and Fur
nishers' association, and the
Washington-I d a h o association
Joint conference.
For Instance, Green said, college
boys will not as a rule wear hats
or caps. They find them a nuis
ance when going from one build
ing to another during scnool hours,
get Into the habit of going bare
headed, like the habit and stay
by it.
Garters, Green explained, were
discarded by college boys some
time ago, as it was then consid
ered, -a passing fad. Then Bar
ters were voted out and stayed
out and sox down.
Then there Is the matter of ties.
The boys of the campus last year
found slip-on sweaters to their lik
ing, the v-neck kind. They wore
their shirts open at the throat
with the collars on the outside of
the sweaters and a decided falling
off in the sale of ties was felt by
clothiers'ln college towns.

Failure to Pay State Motor
Tranportation Tax Given
as Reason
SACRAMENTO, CaL. July 17.
(AP) Immediate seixure of up-,
proximately 1000 freight trucks
and passenger buses for failure to
pay the atate motor transportation
tax was ordered today by Ray L.
Riley, atate controller.
.' Four groups of workers nave
been thrown Into the field to make
the- seizure.' In tbe San Francisco
territory the Piakerton detective,
agency will operate, the Los !An
geles seizures will be made by the
Nick Harris agency. T. J. Nicely.
Fresno detective, will cover ex
treme southern California. Claude
E. Cooper, deputy controller, will
marshal tbe forces in northern
counties.
The seized equipment will be
driven' by state employes, truck
drivers to division headquarters of
the highway department and there
interned, until the tax ia paid or
intil sale of the equipment realizes
the tax' money for the state.
Controller Riley admitted today
that the action which will tie up
from fl.000,000 to $3,000,000
worth of rolling stock, may put
many of the transportation com
panies out of business because
failure to keep schedules will au-
tmatically forfeit franchises.
About 150 companies have
failed to pay the tax out of 051
companies operating. Against
these ompanles has been levied a
tax of a million dollars at the rate
of 4.5 per cent of gross receipts
for passenger lines and 5 per cent
for truck lines.
Employment Situation on
Mend, U. S. Department
Figures Indicate
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 18.
ment report made by the labor de
partment upon conditions as they
were at the beginning of July, ex
pressed the opinion in a broad
statement today that industrial
conditions in the United States
were better than thy usually are
at this season.
"A striking thing in this re
port, the secretary said, "is that
employment in manufacturing for
the first time in five years is
greater in July than In Mayf Gen
erally there Is a slight drop, be
tween May and June. This year
the usual movement Is reversed.
"Another significant thing is
that this year for tbe first time
In six years payroll totals are
greater In June than in May. Pay
roll totals advanced in the same
proportion as in employment. The
maintenance of the present pay
roll means that the country has
become converted to the idea that
good wages mean prosperity.
"Further, this maintenance and
steadiness of employment shows
a confidence on the part of em
ployers as to business conditions
in the summer and fall. The out
look for employer and employe is
distinctly favorable."

All Fruit Received on No. 1
Basis With $25 Per Ton
Fixed Price
SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.
(AP) A plan for handling the
1928 peach crop by receiving all
fruit on a No. 1 basis with a price
of $25 a ton, was worked out here
today by growers and packers,
meeting with Governor C. C.
Young's peach committee, said an
announcement after the meeting.
A committee was appointed to
work out details of the plan, with
instructions to report to the con
ference next Friday. Members of
the committee named were: F. E.
Laney, president of Sutter co
operative growers; A. D. Pogget
to, president California canning
Peach Growers, Inc.; and Preston
McKinney, vice president and sec
retary of tbe Canners' League of
California.
The deadlock was broken by a
report by state director of agri
culture, George H. Hecke, to the
effect that unfavorable weather
conditions of the past two weeks
had reduced the yield of No. 1
peaches between 30 and 40 per
cent.
Hecke estimated that the yield
would consequently be less than
$3,000,000 cases of No. 1 fruit.
The canners had insisted on
keeping tbe pack down to 13,000,
000 cases, and the final etrife
started after the' Supper co-operative
growers had refused to throw
away No. 1 fruit, as proposed in
an agreement reached by the can
ners and California Canning Peach

Montana Senator Receives
Large Lead Over Oppon
ent in Primaries
wwi.kna.. UonU. July ! 18.
(AP) Burton K. Wheeler, Unit
ed States Senator from .Montana,
haa been nominated by tbe Demo
cratic party in Montana. Returns
from yesterday's primary election
served to steadily increase hiaT
erw helming lead over his oppon-
,ntr g y. Stewart, war-time gor
ernor of Montana, wbo, conceaeo
the Senator'a rtetory and sent bim
a telegram of congratulation. .
His opponent for the senatorial
seat at the November general
election In all probability will be
Joseph M. Dixon, also a former
governor, who - was leading his
closest opponent, C. H. Williams,
for the republican nomination by
nearly 6000 votes late today.
The vote from 826 precincts out
of 1490 in the state in tbe demo
cratic contest gave:
Wheeler 20.282; Stewart 4140.
In the republican -race the rote
from the same number ot pre
cincts was:
Dixon 10.370; Williams 11,621.
Returns from scattered sections
were slow in being reported and
the gubernatorial race and con
tests for other state offices re
mained in doubt, with the various
opponents claiming that their
nomination would be assured by
the vote of the large number of
precincts still to be heard from.
