(June 17)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] Americans in the Midwest are the only ones struggling to cope with overflowing rivers and high flood waters.In southern China, soldiers are shoring up levees with sandbags as forecasters warn that more heavy rain is on the way. The government calls flood prevention efforts along China's second longest river "crucial."And the death toll is high -- state media reports at least 171 are dead because of flooding since the beginning of the year.The high waters are also wiping out crop land. Farmers are wading into their fields and harvesting unripe crops before they spoil in the water. That, in turn, is already driving food prices even higher than they've soared lately.The government says more than two million acres of crops have been damaged by the waters and well over a million people
have been relocated. ___ ___, The Associated Press
