REV DRAINAGE LAWS NEEDED.

In lie are !. multitude of reasons
scattered over the north and centra'
COUNTIES OF thu state for a change in
the present drainage laws of iowa.
These reasons consist Of innumerabie
small ponds and marshes At present
worthless for agricultural and grazing
purposes which might be drained az
comparatively small expense and made
the most profitable acreage of the farp.
The owner desires 10 drain them. His
neighhor refuses to lay tile and denies
ths right OF the owner az the We lanI
to add 10 the volume of water in a VS.
ter course or throw more water en- ad-
Joining farms. The law Is with the
reighhor and except IN cases where
amieabie agreement IS possible the
drainage operations are blocked.
There is a large aggregate of worth
less acreage in the ponGs and marshes
Of the low counties of Iowa, most of
which may be reclaimed and rendered
highly fertile aud productive. As an
instance III point a Wright county
farmer recently pointed out to a visi-
Tor the splendid field OF corn raised this
year on ground where water has stood
two feet deep the yea. round. The
pond had covered about ten acres. II
cost him $50 10 tile II ont. The sorn on
the ground this year Is worth moro
than sea0 He Is fortunate in his neigh
bors ana his farm is but. one CT taou
sands of northern Iowa farms
The high prices to Which Iowa farm
lands have risen have forced dra'nagr
wherever practicable and the almost
universal movement i'll this direction
has given rise 10 innumerable disputes
and deiuged the courts with litigation.
What is needed Is law that Will not
oriy permit one landholder to drain,
hut which viii force the adjoining
owner to accept terms OF com promise.
The Iowa farmer can not AFFORD TO own
waste land. AS the law stands he may
be prevented from draining i by the
refusal OF his neighbor. Wiha; IS needed
Is an equitable change n the drainage
laws which Will force a. agreement on
IA lire of tile as upon !ine fence. Such
law wiil increase the productive area
