TO MAKE swAMPs USEFUL.
Under Proposed Plan They Would
BLOSSOM nS tho Rose

Blossom the Rose.
An effort will be made during the pres
ent session of Congress to commit the
federal government to the policy of drain
ing swamp lands all over the country and
Senator Flint of California will be one
OF its leaders. The Senator has pre-
pared bill providing for the drainage
of all swamp lands under the auspices
o. government engineers.
The measure provides for the creation
of fund for conducting the drainage
operations on the installment plan, Con-
gress to appropriate a million or two
dollars every year until the sum of S10,-
100000 or $20,000,000 is on hand. As
land is reclaimed from submerged or
partially submerged condition. the bill
will provide for its sale, and the proceeds
therefrom will be converted into the
drainage fund.
This is similar to the plan under
which the national reclamation or irri-
CATION law operates. The vastness of the
project involved in the Flint bill can be
understood when it is stated that the
total area of swamp lands in the United
States is roughly 100000 acres, or
about 100000 square miles. This is over
half as large as the whole German en-
pire and greater than the area of most
States in the Union.
Virginia and New Jersey contain a
large part of the total in the Dismal
swamp and the Hoboken fats. There is
some swamp land in New England, but
less than elsewhere. on account of the
generally billy character of the ground.
Michigan contains nearly 100000 acres
of swamp lands, Minnesota contains
more than that.
