Of thousands of acres of washed and
quilted lands in West Tennessee, which
are now practically worthless, was the
finding of State Geologst A. H. Purdue,
who returned from special survey OF
the waste lands of that portion OF the
state. DIR. Purdue's findings, however,
are encouraging in that he states that
this same land, now practically worthless
for agricultural purposes can be scien-
tifically reclaimed until, fifty years
hence, it will be the most valuable land
in that portion of the state. DIR. Pur-
due made his trip to West Tennessee
solely to investigate these washed and
quilted areas with a view to attempting
reclamation. In some places, he says,
be found gullies forty feet deep, and in
others large per cent OF extensive
farms is so Sashcl as to render them
useless until reclaimed. This same
land, DR.. Purdue states, formerly sup
ported the most civilized portion OF the
