EXPERIMENTAL
FARM PLANNED
Arrangements by Houshton Land
and Drainage Co.

H. c. Henry and J. Laudemeir OF
Cleveland. president and director re
spectively. OF the Houghton Land and
Drainage Co. IN which Paul Schnei-
Ter and other copper country men are
| interested. have just returned To thsir
home after a business visit TO the cop
per country. Their visit here was for
the purpose OF selecting d site Tor an
experimental farm 10 be established by
the company in the spring To demon
strate the agricultural possibilities OF
the swamp land which Is being drain
ell BY the company In the southern
part Of Houshton county and in Bar
aga county.
The officers have already engaged az
manager for the farm. a man who has
had charge of a similar venture for
party of Cievelanders near that city,
| ana who. by the application ot modern
ana scientific agricultural methods,
has made the institution a model oop'
| ga after throughout the whole
Buckeye state.
| The site chosen by President Merry
and Director Laudemeir il about
| three fourths OF mile from Arnheim
on one Of the lateral drainage bitches
al the very heart of .he swamp. The
| land is already open, there being no
'rees or stumps and for this reason IL
10 estimated IL viii take but short
| ume 10 place II on a producins basis
As the swamp is now surrounded BY
| successful farms on all sides, the ON .
| GERS feel that no further evidence u
i needed that the outer edge OF the lana
| being drained is fertile farm land, and
| they propose To show through the eN
| detrimental farm that the same ap-
| plies TO the very heart Of the swamp.
| The officers are more than pleased
with The progress being made vita the
/ drainage operations. there being more
| than four miles Of trenches Dug the
| depth Of each being seven feet. The
1 southern end Of the swamp Is already
quite dry. there being less than a foot
| Of water in the trenches at the deep
est part, showing that the water level
has been reduced several feet. Greater
progress IL expected during the win
ter when working conditions are more
| favorab BILE
The quality Of the soil is also pleas
ing TO the Clevelanders. Near the sur
face is layer several feet thick OF
rich black earth beneath which is a
layer Of red clay and at the very bot
tom is found blue clay which show 5
evidences Of plant life, even though
eight feet beneath the surface. The
land. as is most swamp land, is abso-
mtely free from rocks.
good driving road has been built
| from Arnheim 10 the sturgeon river
which runs through the swamp, md
no difficulty is anticipated in reaching
all parts of it.
| Paul Schneider ot Calumet states

tracts have already been disposed 81
