Upon his return from Holland recently, the
state gcologist of New Jersey presented the
report of his investigations in that country to
the officials of the New Jersey State Geolog
ical Survey. His visit abroad was made solely
for the purpose Of determining the possibility
of retaining much of the 100000 acres OF
New Jersey meadow land. This entire area
OF land Is practically lying idle. The little of
1t that i in use lies In the upper end Of the
state, far from the coast. OF the total acre
age nine-tcnths of 1t lies along the coast of
Delaware Bay, and 100000 acres occupies the
territory from Barncgat to Cape May. Efforts
have been made with indifferent results to
reclaim part of the HackeusAck meadows,
but the practical failure of the result has led
State GeolOgist Smock to compare the neg
lected meadow lands with the farms he found
in the Netherlands He Is confident that
New Jersey may attain much fine farming
land by adopting the Holland system of en-
bankments and dykes. The state geologist
has presented detailed descriptions of the i'm
portant dykes Of the Netherlands and the
most modern means employed for the drain
age OF the lands enclosed by them.
