100000 ACRES
TO BE RECLAIMED


Mason City, Ia, Aug. 2e.-The rec
Iamation of 5000, 600 acres Of wet land
In thirty counties or northern Iowa
is the project which formers of this
section of the state have undertaken.
Already some $4,000, 900 has been ex-
pended and thousands Of acres lying
In fourteen northern Iowa counties
have been drained.
This great network Of bitches to
carry Off the surface water extends
from the northwestern part of the
state well toward the center and so
related are the drainage districts that
often as many as four counties are
comprised In one area.
This land for ageB has been accu-
mulating richness washed down from
higher lands, as we'll as the decay of
their own swamp vegetation, acres
which need only to be released from
too much water to demonstrate won
derful fertility. Some of this land,
drained year ago. is selling from
$50 to $3.50 an acre.
It is estimated the wet land can be
redeemed at cost of SIS an acre. It
is also estimated that the value of the
annual crop yield OF the state will be
increased 100000 annually.
OF the total amount to be expended
1t is estimated that the farmers will
put in $24,0OO.OOO. The $s.0OO,OoO ex-
pended has been put into drainage
bitches at public expense.

PARCELS
POST FOR
R. ROUTES
This Is HitchcOck's Scheme
as Outlined
Prepares Programme for the
Next Congress
Many Changes Are to Be
Recommended

Washington, D. c., Aug. 2s.--An OUT
line of the programme of legislation
for the postal service which Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock will ask cons
gress to follow during the regular ses-
sion to begin in December, was indi-
Gated by Mr.. Hitchcock yesterday.
In his annual report which viii be
laid before congress in December, Mr..
Hitchcock will recommend the estab-
lishment Of a parcels post service on
rural mail routes; the capitalization
into law Of proposed increases in Sec
ond class mail rates; and the enact-
ment of the proposed law providing
for a radical change in the system of
compensating the railways for trans
porting the mails.
Mr.. Hitchcock explained that It was
his idea first to establish parcels post
on the rural routes, in order that the
administrative details of the system
might be worked out without disad-
vantage to the postal service generally.
Gradually he would extend the par
GELS service to urban communities, so
that packages and parcels might be
delivered locally by city carriers. SUBJ

tended to include railway transporta-
ton.
THE continuous flow of the malls.
particularly the commercial and busi-
ness mails, cannot be interfered with
and cannot be allowed to be dis
turbed," said Mr.. Hitchcock. 1.-THE in
stitution of a parcels post service, if
attempted in rural territory and In the
cities and in the railway mails stmul-
taneously, would embarrass seriously
the whole country, for it scarcely could
be put into operation in that fashion
without cluttering up every postoffice
in the country.
by working out a system by de-
grees, however, we shall be able to
extend the service with no inconvenf-
ence or embarrassment to anybody. 1t
viii require an immense increase OF
both carrier and clerical forces. but.
once established, 1t will be OF enor-
nous value to the people"
Mr.. Hitchcock indicated that the
administration expected to adopt the
recommendations Of the Hughes Sec
ond class postage rate commission,
which has been i'm session for several
weeks in New York. The commis-
sion's report win be submitted to cons
gress in December.
