Drainage Conference.

April 10 to I3 there will be gathered
in New Orleans the newly organized
National Drainage Congress. In a
Southern paper appears this: "The OBJ
iect of the National Drainage Congress
Is to secure aid from the national gov
ernment for the drainage of the wet
and overflow lands of the South, and
other sections of the country. The ar
gument being that if it be proper that
the national government should expend
vast sums for irrigation in the West,
it IS equally proper that the government
should aid in removing the superflu-
Gus water from the. lowiands of the
South"
In order that thoughtful men from
all points in the South might have op-
portunity for deliberately considering
the question of Federal aid in drain
age, the executive officers of the South
ern Commercial Congress have called
for April 8 and 9 a drainage confer
ence IN Nashville. The importance of
this conference rests not merely upon
the immense undrained area of the
South, but also upon the attitude that
the Southern States should assume rel
Rtive to Federal aid; for it is not as
widely known as it should be that from
1880 and onward the United States
government ceded to various States of
the South swamp and overflow lands
IN order that the States by the sale of
The Washington herald., 1912-03-23

these lands might have funds in hand
for reclamation and drainage As such
cession and the terms of the cession
are beyond question, then it is proper
for the Southern States to decide in
advance of the National Drainage Con-
gress as to whether it is desired to
place the South in the position of ask
ing from the government not merely
the lands as they were originally ced-
ed, but also now the means to drain
them. All phases of the drainage ques-
ton will be discussed in this session.
The chairman will be A. w. McKeand,
secretary of the Chamber of Commerce,
Charleston, S. c. Speakers in the ses-
sions will be Col. J. o. Wright chief
drainage engineer for the State of
Florida; w. d. Clark, of Clarksdale,
Miss; George w. Deen, of Waycross,
Ga; DR.. Hyde Pratt, Chapel Hill, N.
G; DR.. A. II. Purdue, State geologist,
Nashville, Tenn; Charles F. Barrett,
Shawnee, Okla; John A Fox, San
Diego, Cal, and DR. ]. II. Squires,
Wilmington, Del.
An exceedingly valuable body OF
thought is expected to result from this
conference. To it are invited ali own
ers of wet lands, and the State officials
who are charged with the administra-
ton of funds arising from the sales of
wet lands.

a Western Viewpoint.

In September and October of last
year, Managing Director DAVE, of the
Southern Commercial Congress, and
Col. d. c. Collier, of San Diego, Cal,
travelled together through the Southern
States a distance of about 5000 miles,
and visited nearly thirty of the leading
cities. Col. Collier, who is leader in
Pacific Coast development, and who has
traversed the United States from coast
to coast nearly fifty times, had, until
last year, never visited the Southern
States with view to considering their
resources. He was So deeply impressed
with the unused possibilities Of the
South, and also so deeply impressed
with the activity of development there,
that the executive officers took great
pleasure in inviting Col Collier to ad-
dress the Southern Commercial Con-
gress on the general subject of "a
Western view of Southern develop
ment"
Col. Collier is typically Western in
his optimism and in his broad plans for
Pacific Coast DEVELOPMENT Born in a
mining camp m Colorado, and sub
jected in his early years to every sort
of difficulty and privation, Col. Collier
came to a position of leadership on
the Pacific Coast and IN San DIEGO
first outlined the propriety of an ex-
position of the Pacific Coast in celebra-
ton of the completion of the Panama
Canal. First as director general of the
Panama California Exposition, and now

Apple and Pear Culture

For O. time II seemed as though the
entire set of the apple industry was to-
ward the far West The big red apple,
raised on irrigated soil. by its very
bigness attracted favorable attention
and prompted the idea that the best ap-
pie lands were far away. As a patter
of fact the best apple lands of the
nation are near by. Along the spurs
of the Alleghanies. the combination of
soil, of climate, and of nearness to
market, are such that in the direction
of apple and pear growing there is a
great financial future for a large por-
ton of the South DIR. S. w. Fletcher,
director of the Virginia agricultural
experiment station at Blacksburg, has
been invited to preside over the apple
and pear section on the morning of
April 10. His topic will be "The re-
sources and outlook for apple growing
in the South" P. F. Williams, horti-
culturist of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, of Auburn, will take as his
subject The resources and outlook for
pear growing in the South"

condition of statistics throughout the
world that viii prevent gambling in
foodstuffs, he has become deep stu
dent Of the various systems of rural
credits worked out in European. coun-
tries. The further his researches have
carried him, the more convinced has
he become that certain of these sys-
tens, or variants of them, were appli-
cable to the problems of rural life IN
America,
Realizing this, he placed himself in
touch with leading editors OF the Unit
ed States and others who were stu
dents of our rural conditions. Conse.:
quently, through the cooperation OF
Herbert Myriek, president OF the
Orange Judd Company; Walter H:
Page, editor of Worlds Work, and
others, there has come gradual TN
derstanding throughout the nation thst
if rural finance Is in weak and help
less condition here, il Is not necessary
that it should always stay so. Hence
at present there is. an effort being made
to bring into existence a government
commission to inquire into rural
finance. Various country life commits
sions have also undertaken investiga-
tons, more or less thorough.
Thus il will be seen that the efforts
of David Lubin have, in a very few
years, begun to bear fruit. 1t was.
therefore, considered expedient by the
executive officers of the Southern Com
mercial Congress to invite Mr.. Lubin
to preside over a conference of such
importance that, through newspaper
and other publicity, the whole idea of
improving rural finance might get ma
tionai currency at once. Hence the
Nashville conference, which conference
will doubtless be an important mile
stone in the financial history of the
American farmer.
To bring this conference together the
executive officers wrote to the COVER
nor Of each State of the Union, asking
for the appointment of two delegates.
The responses were slow, and in some
degree unsatisfactory; for the subject
failed IN several cases to impress the
governor with sense of its importance.
This is true even in some of the South
ern States. where, owing to the lack of
rural finance, men do constantly secure
supplies, &c, at cost of 100 per cent
advance.
In addition to the appointees by
