The Floods in the South 



Although Hardwood Record has been in possession of a good 

 many photographs showing the terrible flood situation that has pre- 

 vailed over the entire range of hardwood producing country from 

 Cairo to New Orleans for some time, it has heretofore refrained from 

 publishing these pictures. It is not the policy of this paper to recite 

 hard luck stories, but in this connection it is showing a series of 

 engravings made from photographs in one district of Arkansas, 

 which is typical of the entire southern hardwood lumber producing 



country. 



This calamity is a monumental one, not only in loss of lite and 

 personal distress of thousands of inhabitants, but in a monetary way 

 as well. Undeniably it means ruin to many operators who are not 

 well entrenched financially, and this of course is not as terrible as 

 the tremendous loss of life, starvation and suffering encountered by 

 the inhabitants over a large area of the lower Mississippi valley. 

 In comparison the Titanic disaster sinks into insignificance.
