Mississippi River flood recedes as farmers seek wartime food
The Mississippi and tributaries fall at key points while farmers in inundated areas hope to restart wartime food production. Army engineers say land will not be tillable for about a month and Cape Girardeau records a crest of 42.5 feet. The Illinois Arkansas rivers also drop as Col Feagin notes no major overflow below Cairo. The Arkansas crest moves from Little Rock toward Pine Bluff after flooding 50 blocks of the city, with danger remaining along saturated levees.
