The Mississippi Floods Threaten Lower Valley Lifelines

Levees along both river banks crumble and government estimates peg losses at 120 million dollars, rivaling the South cotton value for a year. Congress may pass General Catchings’ 2 million flood relief bill, though seed and mortgage pressures loom as crops fade and local fortunes collapse. The disaster jeopardizes farmers and the broader commerce tied to the Mississippi valley.
