WIL PROTECT BOTOMUNO Farm* That Have Had continual Threat* Hanging Over* Them Will Be .Made Secure—Has the Opposi­ tion Ulterior Motives? Owing to the great amount of •in­ terest displayed throughout the stale in the efforts ot the friends ot the Vonderheide conservancy law-to pro­ tect it against amendment, ah inter­ view wag obtained from E. A. Deeds, chairman of the .Miami'Valley flood^ prevention committee, *» follows: '’Immediately following the hoods ot 1913 throughout the stale ■ there was a Constructive effort on the part of a number of men from the districts, which were hit the hardest to find some means hy which future abnor­ mal water flow might be- controlled. • , "Engineers from all over the coun-' try were consulted. Men who had (spent their lives in the study of engi­ neering problems were brought to Ohio, and at their advice a plan for controlling the ' water, after it had reached a certain stage, was adopted. Jt was realised that Ohio needed not cnly flood protection,"but a law which would allow the people to seelc this protection. . ^ “While the Miami'valley scheme is made possible "by -the VOnderreldo flood prevention, law, i t is not a part of it, The law, merely .makes it possi­ ble to adopt some sort of a plan, and' ■i t does not define ahv particular plan. Petty'/lftterferenceJ . “From the first there was interfer­ ence. One must always expect a cer­ tain amount of interference Whenever .a progressive move is contemplated, hut in ' this case the interference, hacked by what appear, to be selfish Motives, has been pronounced. v . “The law Was passed in the face ot this opposition,' and in Order that alt might bo secure, ft was tested in the courts of the State on tup to the su­ premo court.. *Tt stood thh- test of the moat s en t jurists the state has, and after a delay of two years It looked as though the citizens o t Ohio were to he In a position to get the protection to which they were entitled; but not yet. “These same influences have now introduced in the legislature bills which will mot only amend the law, hut absolutclly destroy itB Usefulness a s a flood protection Instrument. Why it Is done no one seems to know. THERE HAS NOT SEEN A SINGLE CONSTRUCTIVE REASON PRE­ SENTED. “The matter has finally settled to an exchange of opinions between engi­ neers of local experience on the one side and men on the other side who have had suCh varied experience as that of General Ernst, One o! the United States engineers on the con­ struction of the Panama canal and other important works; Professo. > iMoade of the University of Wisconsin, who has had unlimited experience in flood prevention work in many parts of the world, and the Morgan Engi­ neering -Company, noted flood preven­ tion experts, men who are consulted continually by tho government on im­ portant subjects of this nature. There are many others, General Chittenden, for Instance, and the board of army engineers/ who have inspected the plans made possible by the Vouder- helde law, and they have, to a man, raid that this was the only plan that would save the .Miami valley from fu­ ture action of floods, A Constructive Plain. “Many things had to he'considered In working out a plan for protection to the cities throughout this valley. Arrangements must be made to take care of a flow of Water tHat would be a certain percentage greater than that of the 1913 flood, for no plans could be considered safe that did not make ample provision for a future possibility. With this end in view, th e next< big consideration was that ef conserving the greatest amount of land throughout the valley. “Ait extensive survey was maae. not only of the Miami valley, hut of others throughout the state, in order that high water marks niight be estab­ lished and that past rainfall might be known. This being done, It was pos­ sible to make estimates of the amount of water that would have to bo taken care of in a given time, and the plans for the proposed dry reservoirs in the Miami valley have been made along these linos, "We will not enter farther into the technical phase of the question. The discussion of the plans thus far has only been for the purpose of show­ ing the reason for the establishment of the proposed dry reservoirs, and for the amount of land that will hate to he included within the area of these proposed reservoirs. ."The word reservoir, as used iu this instance, must not ho misleading. It might be better termed aft emergency basin, foi\«lmt is what It is in the true sense of tho word. There wilt he no water in any of these basins until Jthe river shall have reached a certain height, and then only for a short time, fit until tin flow below hm run off sufficiently to keep the river within its channel, do not know when there will he another flood bufr as wo n*a ra 1913, nor do we know when we will have another worse than that, and it | is just such uncertainties as these ! that keep-the value of property down ? in the cities as well as in tho country [ lowlands. The object of the proposed | dry reservoir plan is to make thin ; property as valuable as that on tho highlands, and this can only he done by checking tho flow of the river to a certain extent when it has reached * certain height. • Current Is Destructive. “Perhaps tho most feared of all (bo­ asters by the farmer in tho lowland:; Is the current which always vomer, with the high water. Valuable irrmfS are ruined in a night or a dry by having the rich loam scoured off and receiving in return a deposit of gra\ el. ‘During the high water of 1913 morn than 100,000 acres were flooded in thu Miami conservancy district aJone. Throughout the state there' were per*, baps more than 300,000 acres flooded. -Hoyv Many Acres Were Destroyed? “in the Miami valley, alone many hundred acres were absolutely ruined .by t the action of the water, and throughout the state there were un­ doubtedly ‘many hundreds of once prosperous farmers ruined in a day, THIS IS ALL. THE EFFECT OF CURRENT, the worst enemy tho man In the lowlands has to contend With, because in Its power he 1$ helpless, so to ppeak, “Therefore, It seems that tho first duty is to, destroy thiB-current, If pos­ sible, and- this Is just what the -stor­ age reservoir will do, ^ “Where more than. 1QO.Q00 acres were flooded’ hy a swift moving cur­ rent, the ^servoir plan will, under ■clrcpmstanv-u-o 50 per' cant worse than in Match, 1913, only utilize -13,000 acres, and that for only about three or four days, with a body of almost stiU water.

John Harblnb, J r, Allen Building, Xenia, Both phones, rural civilization has placed upon the riual press ‘renewed responsibilities, and enlarged possibilities for useful­ ness. It cannot perform its mission to agriculture by recording the frail­ ties, the mishaps apd inordinate am­ bitions of' humanity, or by filling its columns with the echoes of the strug­ gles of busy streets; or by.enchanting stories of city life which luro our children from the' farm. It lias a higher and nobler task. Too often the pages of the city dallies bristlo with the strugglo of ambitious men in their wild lust for power, and many times, the flames of personal conflict sear the tender buds of new civilization, and illuminate the path­ way to destruction. The rural press is the governing power of public senti­ ment and. must hold steadfast to principle and keep the ship of state in the roadstead of progress, The rural press can best servo tho inter­ ests of the farmers by applying its energies to tho solution of problems affecting the local community. It must Btem the mighty life current that is moving from the farm to the cltlch, sweeping beforo it a thousand boys and, girls per day. It has to deal with the fundamental problems of civilization at their fountain head. Its mission is to direct growth, teach .ef­ ficiency and mold the intellectual life of the country, placing before tho pub­ lic tho daily problems of the farmers and giving first attention to the leg­ islative, co-operative, educational and social needs of the agricultural classes within its respective community.
