done In the developing of the posi-
bilities that lie therein. Shaler, writ

utilization Of our swamps and gives
Information In regard to the various
classes of swamps In the United States.
These neglected districts are of great
extent and very varied nature They
consist, in part, of land which is some
what less fertile than the best soils,
but which in every other respect is fit
for tillage. A preliminary
study Of the field has shown the re-
markable fact that we have left I'M
touched In the region east of the Mis-
sissippi districts of easily drained
swamp lands amounting to more than
$4,000 square miles of area. The mum
dated lands of the lower Mississippi
remain in the state in which they were
when first seen by men, while similar
areas In England were long ago won to
the state of the most fertile fields Of
that country.
Our American inundated lands are
mined by the condition of their origin.
OF these the most important are the
tide water Marshes the lacustrine
swamps of the glaciated district, the
delta swamps of the Mississippi, and
the class of wet lands or upland
swamps where the marshy condition
is due to the action of plant in retain
inc ho %
siderable districts.
Preliminary studies of the great
area of fresh water marshes, extend
ing from the mouth of the James river
south to Albemarle sound, show that
in that district this class of marshes
covers an area of about 1000 square
miles. This class of marshes
can easily and cheaply be drained and,
when SO improved, they afford exceed
ingly rich soils Along the outer mar
gin of these vast morasses, some hun
| dred thousands acres have been won
TO culture. These lands are remark
ably fertile. 1t seems likely that OF
these easily reclaimed upland morass-
es, resembling the Dismal Swamp,
there is a total area In the southern
states of not less than $4,000 square
miles. In the northern states the -ea

MARKETING MUSK MELONS.
How One Producer Disposed of His
Crop at Gratifying
Profit.

Before beginning to ship we made
arrangements with commission firm
to handle our whole crop, says an I'LL
nois gardener. We told them about
how many baskets we expected 70 have
and how We would grade and mark
them. This arrangement proved much
more satisfactory than shipping to half
a dozen or more firms, as had been our
previous custom
My experience the past season con-
firms the belief that the way to make
money out of melon growing is to
build up reputation for shipping
good goods and have your own brand
or trade mark. We made Is ship
ments to our commission man and
had goods in every shipment that sold
at the highest price. This result was
secured by holding up the quality. AS
the season progressed we culled closer
and closer. This naturally gave us a
smaller proportion of fancy and No. 1
melons, but we had the satisfaction Of
getting the top price from first to last
for our best goods-that bore our
trade mark.
A month after the melon season was
over the salesman who had charge Of
selling our fruit said 1t was pleasure
to handle such goods. II hurt the
customers at first to pay more than
they could get other melons for, but
after they once got started they al
most fought to get our fruit before 1t
was gone and 1t attracted the attention
of statesmen Of other houses who could
not get such prices as we got for your
melons. The crates containing our
fancy melons were ordered ahead and
the salesman often had to cut down
all the orders so as to divide up the
goods and let each customer have
some. He said he will have no trouble
next year selling all the fancy and No.

essary, on account of not being able to
drain them. After every rain, as soon
as ground Is crumbly, hitch up to a
drag, stand 1t so as to work dirt to-
ward center Of road, and you will soon
see difference in the roads; they will
not get as muddy, or be cut up as bad
ly as before.
AS to the construction of drag, which
must be made of good strong material.
It requires two planks 3x6. six feet

rods with bur, 8; one steel plate three
inches wide, sharpened and bolted on

four horses to drag II you wish to do
good work. Nail boards across drag
on AKA so a common farm wagon seat
can be fastened on for the drivers to
ride, or II the drivers prefer to walk
place some other weight on drag. If
drag should slide toward ditch adjust
link on chain, so as to run more level,

reclaiming of the marshes, and that It
was to be regretted the experiments
had not been directed by some one
teamed in the work--as in the very
successful work on the northern shores
of Europe.
In Europe salt marshes are consid-
cred the most fertile of lands. For
many years past large areas in Den

ly slow process to get the salt lands
rid of water and saltiness, but in those
cases where proper precautions have
been taken, sufficient time and labor
allowed, the lands have given good
returns. The author Of the circular
says 1t is generally conceded one acre
of reclaimed salt marsh is worth four
or five acres of upland, and that ac-
cording to the we'll substantiated fig
ures of Shaler, the cost of reclamation
should not exceed one-ffth the final
value of the land.

or late years the public has had Of

the watering Of dry lands to make the
desert bloom; and now there are signs
public attention Is to be called to the
draining of swamp lands and the
transforming of these waste places.
Recently bill was introduced In
congress for the reclamation of swamp
lands under system similar to that
adopted for the reclamation of the
deserts In the southwest. AS yet only
beginning has been made, begin

to legislative action.

the boundaries OF our own country and
sending enough material abroad to

ber." And when one considers the adj
vantages offered by the swamp lands
one wonders why experiments have not
sooner been made in their reclamation.
Authorities tell us swamp lands can
be reclaimed as cheaply as arid lands.
Once drained, swamp land is drained
for good. Drained lands are more fer

culture, attention is called to the fact
that marshes and stagnant pools are
the principal breeding places of mos
quitoes. Science has shown that NOS
quitoes are the most common, II not
the only means OF conveying malarial
germs and introducing these germs
into the human system; and that mos
the infection of yellow fever. In kaIy
vast areas Of land have been aNan-
doned because of the mosquito pest.
While our salt marshes do not seem
to present the conditions necessary for
the breeding of the species of malaria
mosquitoes In this country, they are
breeding places for immense numbers
of other mosquitoes that prove a pest
to persons and to stock, in some cases
so troublesome they lower the valua
ton of the land.
Engineers believe the everglades of
Florida can be drained, and here
would be added to our rich lands 7,000,-

bordering the Atlantic and Pacific.
In preparing this article We have
found 1t difficult to get any very recent
writings on the subject of the reclaim
ing OF the swamps, but are looking
shortly for flood of literature on the
subject. Some years ago quite good
deal was said, crusade started for the
reclamation OF our salt marshes; their
value as farming lands emphasized,
and that in the existing state they
were a serious menace to the health Of
the people living in their vicinity.
Notable among the government re-
ports issued at the time was Shaler's
Sea Coast Marshes of the United
States" and Nesbit's Tidal Marshes"
Writing on the sea-coast marshes of
the eastern part of the country, Shaler
said: THE great advantage of the
northern marsh areas is found in the
act that they generally are near the
