Drainage of Swan1p Land
BY FREDERIC j. HASKIN
BY FREDERIC J. HASKTN.

Would 1t be a good business investment
for the United States TO add to its home
territory an area of rich agricultural
lands as large as the States Of Ohio. In
diana, and Illinois combined? The swamp
lands in continental United States east
OF the Rocky Mountains susceptible to
reclamation by drainage have a total
area just about that OF the three great
Middle States named. Arid lands are be-
ing reclaimed and opened up for set
tlement by irrigation, by supplying water
to nourish the living crops day after day.
As yet the Federal government has not
undertaken to reclaim the lands which
suffer because Of a superabundance of
water
According to government surveys and
estimates there are at least 50000.O Oo"
acres of land which can be drained and
made fit for farming al a cost of about
% an acre. This would increase the
value Of the drainage districts more than
@,Wo o01,o0a. and would add TO the crop
values OF this great nation many millions
annually. 1t is impossible TO treat Of
the subject Of the drainage of the wet
and overflowed lands Of the, United States
except to discuss it in millions and billions
Of dollars.

The Federal government has spent
about $55,o0oO0O in irrigation work. and
The people have given unanimous q ap-
Qroval TO the project. The argument Is
advanced that the Federal government
may well consider drainage as a co-ordi-
maze branch Of the redemption of lands
now unfit for homes. The Department
OF Interior. through the Geological Sur
Vey has made a typographical survey
OF the swamp lands in an Indian reserva-
ton in Minnesota. The engineers have
showed how vast area may be re-
claimed by drainage at a cost Of $3Z5
an acre. II the legislation proposed by
the drainage advocates should be enacted,
these public lands would be sold to home
steaders at the regular preemption price
Of SL-5 an acre, plus the cost of drain
age, or a total Of $3.50 an acre. payable
in ten annual installments. In this way
the government would be reimbursed for
the money spent in draining the wet
lands. and the community would have
the benefit. The Federal drainage scheme
proposes the reimbursement TO the gov
ernment Of the money expended in the
initial work

The last Of the three great questions is
the drainage problem. Thousands Of miles
Of levees restrain the waters of the
mighty Mississippi and its tributaries
from overflowing the rich lands of the
river bottoms. and If bitches were dug the
area Of these rich farms could be doubled.
the floods would not be so greatly feared
and the United States might accommodate
12C0O.000 more farmers and not be one bit
more crowded than it is to-day.

Three great questions concerning inter-
nal agricultural economy have been
brought to the attention of the American
people in the last twenty-five years-irri-
CATION Of arid and semi-arid lands. re-
forestation. and protection Of American
forests, and the reclamation Of the
swamp and over1owed lands. The irriga-
tion movement las proceeded so far that
many parts of the Great American
Desert now blossom like the rose" The
public mind is giving serious thought to
the question of preventing the ruthless
destruction of forests, and forest reserves
and other protective agencies are becom-
ing more and more popular.

Personnel of the United States
Realty Company.

The president. Arthur f. Randle, built
the town of Congress Heights, also the
railroad to that place. and secured from
Congress appropriations of many thousands
of dollars for Improvements for Congress
Heights. Among the improvements are a
large brick school house. at which there is
attendance of nearly 400 children;
the finest fire company in the District.
which is maintained by the government at
a cost of over $4,000 a year; lighted
streets, etc, etc. He succeeded In building
and equipping a railroad along and across
Pennsylvania Avenue bridge after one of
the most powerful and wealthy syndicates
In America had repeatedly failed to secure
the right to build the road across this
bridge. which right Mr.. Randle secured
after ii had failed. He built the road
within the time limit of the charter and
the road is now running schedule time
to the property of the United States Realty
Company. He also secured from Congress-
by special act, for the road the right of
free transfers over the Capital Traction
Companys S12,OO0.OOO railroad system-so
that passengers can ride from the land OF
the L. S. Realty Company to any part OF
Washington city for one car fare The
building of Congress Heights by Mr.. RAN
die is regarded one of the most success
ful real estate enterprises in the District
OF Columbia.

Won Bulow and the Players.

An amusing glimpse of Hans von
Bulow is afforded in this extract
from one of his letters: "There
were two bassoonists in the orches-
ira - imagine, amateurs! They
were my dread and kept me con-
stantly on tenterhooks. If they
had nothing to play, then l was in
state of terror that they might
come in, and l was constantly warn
ing them Not yet,' but if they real
ly had to come in, then l had not
the courage to give them the sign,
and warned them as before. An
amateur kettledrum player, on the
contrary, who received honorable
mention, must have been perfect
marvel of timekeeper, for when he
had very long pauses he counted
them inwardly and used to pay lit
tie visits to an adjoining cafe with
out endangering the ensemble, as
he always got back punctually to
his post in time for his next entry"

That Diversified Farming Talk.

All this talk about diversified
farming is now getting rather stale
talk to most close observers. We
note that many otherwise clever
farmers do a good deal Of talk away
from home along the line of diTersi-
fed farming. } But they do not
write it out on their farms in way
that he that runs by may read it out
on the ground of these mems farms
as plainly as it can be read in their
papers and talk. This thing of all
talk and no work to back it up Is
too much like rot to 60 down
