The New Drainage Law.

Representative A. w. Buchanan, OF
Wapello county, says: 1.-The drainage
law passed by the last session OF the
legislature will effect more people ana
do more for the welfare of the state OF
Iowa than any other law passed this
session." 1t is d correct statement.
The law will be to the people simply
invaluable. If the Legislature had
not passed a single other law than
this one, they would have served the
state we'll. A similar law has caused
Indiana to "bud and blossom as the
rose" Waste places have been trans
formed into gardens. In draining her
swamps she found gravel to build her
roads. 1t proved to her mine OF
wealth. =.
Iowa needed the law and should
have had it long ago. If the law Il
properly appreciated and properly
enforced, it will by and by double the
fertility of Iowa.-Ringgold Record
