Soon it became ap parent that a great crescendo of river waters was under way—with the china k much nearer than the millions of re.’.dents of the East and Now England expected.

At Washington an angry Pctonac River threatened many government buildings and sandbag dykes were quickly thrown up for protection. President Roose velt deferred his Southern fishing trip. He quickly surveyed the situa tion and issued a call for $3,000,000 for the American Red Cross. Meanwhile, the floods moved mcnacinglv down into West Virginia and the ^nio Valley. Death tolls mounted and pestilence, '.'cc-i short ages and water shortages in the v/ake of the waters intensified the terror. It was already apparent that property damage had mounted into the tens of millions and that un counted thousands were homeless. The Ohio River ran 17 feet deen lhr:ugh the main streci cf Wheeling. W.

On the New England front. Militia and Police patrolled Springfield. Northampton and Lowell. Mass., to prevent threatened out-bursts of looting. Then, as the 'flood crests poured more death and destruction into New England and Ohio, heavy rains and snow added to the misery of the quarter of a million already made homeless by the disaster. The Judge Fertilizer by the Cotton It Makes I N 1935 cotton growers everywhere bought Non-acid Forming and Physiologically Neutral Swift's Red Ster* Fertilizers on our word that it would give them larger yields and a fine-quality cotton.

Three inches of soggy snow fell over devasted wes tern Pennsylvania from Johnstown to Wheeling. W. Va.. bogging down relief efforts. Waters of the Con necticut! and Ohio Rivers continued to create the greatest menace to life. The Connect!cutt drove Hart ford families into the rain drenched streets. Storm warnings flew' as a marked disturbance moved north eastward over the Middle Atlantic States.
