RECLAMATION OF SWAMP

times within the past few
months that the proper drain
age of the land is the most in
portant thing that could be
done in Robson county. 1t
would cost a great deal of
money, Of course, but it would
be worth all it would cost.
Congressman H. L. Goodwin, of
this district, is very much in
terested in the reclamation of
swamp lands in the State, and
especially in this district, and
on the 25th of March he de-
livered a speech in the Houseof
Representatives on this subject
which we have intended for
some time to call attention to.
Mr.. Godwin's speech was upon
bill he introduced directing
the Secretary of Agriculture to
investigate and report to Con-
gress upon the location and
area of lands in the sixth dis
trict that are swamp and over
flowed and susceptible of being
drained and made fit for agri
culture; the value and effect Of
drainage on such land and or
the public health and upou ag
riculture; existing Legislation
of the different States and 10
calities on the subject of drain
age and operations hereunder
foreign drainage policies ant
their results; and the relatio
of the Feneral government t
local authorities and legisls
ton on said subject.
Mr.. Goodwin based his pie
for Federal aid to reclair
swamp lands upon the fact tn;
the government is already cor
mitted to the policy of irrig
tion. 1.-THE Reclamation of fl
swamp lands," said Mr.. Go
win, sis the antithesis of the
rigation of arid lands. The
is too little water on the la
above, and there is too mu
below. If the Federal &C
ernment, by act of Congress,

enteen States of the We
where there is too little wa
above, why should it not,
act of Congress, drain the lar
in the Eastern States, VIII
there is too much water below
And in this connection he re
the following extract from
last report of the Secretary
Agriculture:
"The drainage of the swa
overflowed lands in the hur
parts Of the United Sta
would extend or greatly
prove agriculture over an a
almost equal to that of
States of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio. This makes farm drs
age matter of national int
est and importance"
