DRAINAGE IN LOUISIANA MEANS
BILLIONS Of DOLLARS To PEOPLE
ILLUSTRAT ES THE ENORMOUS BENEFITS

ENORMOUS TOTALS OF swA MP AREA IN VARIOUS STATES
NEED DRAINAGE PRODUCTIVE. ..

drainage are of exceptional fertility
and would return much higher yield
than the average of farm lands
throughout the country.
Some striking figures as to the
vial lands as compared with ordinary
farm acreage were given today by II.
C. Wormoth, ex-governor of Louisi-
ana, a man of great practical exper-
ience in drainage operations and rep
resenting a state which, with one
exception, has more lands susceptible
of reclamation through drainage than
any other member of the union, and
one where rapid progress is being
made through state action in bring
ing these wet lands under cultivation.
Much of the overflowed land of
Louisiana" said former Governor
Wormoth, Lies within the sugar-cane
producing district of the state. To
drain an acre of land and put it into
condition for producing cane may
cost as much as fifty dollars. Such
land is worth 800 to $50 an acre,
however as compared with SIS to
500, the average price of ordinary
farm lands in other sections of the
state What is considered average su-
gar land in Louisiana will produce,
say Is tons of cane to the acre, but
on these reclaimed lands it is cas-
lily possible to grow from 80 to 40
tons per acre. Considering the fact
that this soil is practically inexhaus-
tible and that there are roughly g.
OOO,000 acres in Louisiana capable of
being reclaimed by means of drain
age, it will be seen that the enor-
nous sum Of nearly a billion dollars
can be added to the permanent
wealth of the state through proper
ly conducted drainage operations, and
that millions of dollars can be added
to their annual agricultural income
from the utilization of these now un-
used lands in growing the sugar re-
quired by the American people.
Until very recently the work of
draining the wet lands of the state

There are two ways to tell whether
you have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the
back and other outward signs. The
second is by examination OF the kid
ney secretons.
That is why physicians make such
a careful examination when you ap-
ply for insurance and if there is any
sign of kidney trouble you are likely
rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that
it is bad mistake to overlook or neg
lect it, and if pain in the back recur-
ring headaches, or fretful, nervous,
tired condition makes you suspect
some kidney trouble, take the trouble
to watch the kidney secretions. Look
FOR any of the following signs
More or less than three and one
half pints passed daily.
100 dark or too pale a color.
Passages too frequent, profuse, or
much reduced, or scalding and pain
full.
Sandy, gritty or cloudy settings.
Fat or oily-looking layer which gath
ers on the surface when allowed to
stand, or a jelly-like thickening.

Chicago, April 3O,-That there are
roundly SO,0OO,O0O acres OF swamp
and overflowed lands capable OF
being drained which would add more
than a billion and a half dollars to
the permanent land capital OF the
United States is the latest estimate
of the department of agriculture. On
the basis of present average returns
from agrtcut tural land this would
mean an annual increased yield of
nearly $3OO,OOO,OOO to the people of
the country. Actually the return
would be much greater than this for,
