The War for the Union 1861-65 in Pictures
M
No. 313
At the same time Robert E. Lee s Army of Northern Vir-
ginia was invading the North, in June 1863, desertions from Joseph Hooker's Army of the Potomac were at their highest rate. As Dr. Francis Lord remarks in "They Fought for the Union'’ (pub. by Stackpole), "The course of desertion in the Federal Army fluctuated as the armies won victories or incurred defeats. . . . Desertions in the East more than doubled those in the West. The main reasons would seem to be the consistent records of defeat suffered by the Army of the Potomac up to July 1863. and quality of replacements suffered by that Army . . .”
Desertions were encouraged by a proclamation of General Lee, offering to send home Federal soldiers who gave themselves up voluntarily. A form of Confederate “underground railway'' was set up for this purpose. The death penally, which Lincoln had often set aside, was imposed more frequently for desertion, cowardice and other crimes. Subsequent investigation determined that, inevitably, some of the executions were miscarriages of justice. Burke Davis records in “Our Incredible Civil War’’ (pub. bv Holt, Rinehart and Winston) that “two white soldiers of the 72nd New York Regiment were tried for rape at Petersburg and convicted. . . . General Patrick made a stirring address, asking the witnesses to remember their mothers, sisters and daughters as they gazed at the swinging bodies of the unfortunates. The Southern woman who h"-d accused the men confessed after the war that she swore the lives of these men away to contribute her mote to the South.” CLARK KINNAIRD

WATERSHED WORK PLAN The watershed work plan, along with design and specifications, tells the complete story of the job to be done in solving soil and water problems in a watershed. It answers all the questions of who will do it w'here, vhen how and why. Such a plan has been developed for the Mill Creek Watershed, involving 190,(kg) acres located in Putnam, Hendricks. Morgan and Ow n Counties. Every watershed has its owm combination of problems. And solutions must be tailor-made to fit the problems of each In many ways, watershed planning is similar to soil and water conservation planning for farms. The difference is that the problems are of communities — not individuals alone — more complex and more expensive to solve. A sound work plan provides for the conservation, use and development of all land and water in ‘he drainage area. It combines ‘he goals, abilities and desires of 'he local peonle. It is their plan, and once it is developed, the plan Tuides both the local org.aniza♦ion and all State and Federal agencies through the construction and maintenance phases. Specifically, the plan gives information on: 1. The problems in the watershed. 2. Community needs and desires. 3. Planned conservation measures on the land and structures to be installed. 4 Estimated costs and benefits of the project. 5 Proposed expenditures of local. State and Federal funds. 6. Cost-sharing arrangements. 7. Provisions for main'ainio" the planned conservation practices and structures. 8. The timetable for completing the project. Any work plan will include a variety of projects to meet local needs. For flood prevention there may be certain types of measures to prevent the destruction of land.
trols water flow’ and sediment that cause damage to groups of landowners, communities and the general public. Included are such things as floodwater retarding structures; stream channel clearing, enlarging and straightening levees and dikes; desilting basins; floodways; floodwater diversions; and special water-holding or water diverting terraces and dikes. Structures for flood prevention will ordinarily be located at the least costly site to protect the largest possible area of land subject to flooding. They will encroach as little as possible on highly productive land and provide enough protection to overflow land so that owners can make continous use of it, even though it will continue to be damaged occasionally by major storms. Greater protection from major storms will be considered I when human life and extra high valued property are at stake. Under agricultural w^ater .management, plans could include drainage, irrigation, and other methods of providing a more uniform supply and distribution of voter for farm or farm-related uses. However, under the Department of Agriculture’s present j policy, “drainage or irrigation of land not previously or presently J used for agricultural production must be incidental to and not a | primary purpose of “the tile, open , ditches, pumping plants, watei supply reservoirs, etc., for which j
