Guy l.. Stewart, agricultural and
Industrial commissioner of the ~.
Louis-Southwestern Railway, former
" assistant to James Wilson, Secre-
tary of Agriculture, thus expresses
his attitude toward the efforts of the
National Irrigation Congress to be of
further aid this year in the rec1ama-
ton problems of the South. The Ma
tional Irrigation Congress meets in
Chicago December 5th to 9th, and at
this gathering it is not unlikely that
some definite action concerning
swamp and overfloWed land rec1ama-
ton by the government will be taken
by the delegates. Continuing, Mr..
Stewart says:
"Rice growing in Arkansas and
Texas and the reclamation of Swamp
lands in Louisiana, which is just be-
ginning, are demonstrating to the
country at large the agricultural pos
sibilities of the 1ong-neglected South.
Rice growing is an irrigation indus
try, but with the South as whole
development is not, of courseo mat
ter of irrigation, as Dixie has been
granted the blessing of plenty of
rainfall.
"The South does need the help of
Uncle Sam just as the West needed
it. We want the government to take
our water way instead of putting it
on to the soil This is simpler un-
dertaking and million dollars spent
by the government could accomplish
the reclamation of an area of swamp
lands sufficient for the establishment
Of thousands of homes and for the
production of crops worth each year
several times the amount invested.

can accomplish this, and | know the

the South, especially, the nations as
a whole, and, I might add, the entire
world to a more or less extent, will
again be benefited by the deserving
work of the Congress. The time rap
idly is approaching when every avail
able acre of ground in this country
will be needed for agricultural pur-
poses so / believe that this year the
South is offered a means of gaining
help of infinite value through the lr-
rigation Congress, and that the chance
