 The district to be drained has always | to be protected entirely by enclrcllng | levees, for the many streams in Louisi- ana have a fashion of wandering all | over the surface of the surrounding country In addition to a compreheu- sive system of canals and lateral dtches there Is always pumping plant to take care of the run off which is led into a reservoir and then pumped into some bayou, lake or uutfall canal Even in comparatively flat land the drain age ditches soon dispose of the surplus water. By natural seepage and capil- lary attraction the water in the wet land presses steadily towards the ditch and the level Of the ground water is lowered accordingly.

WASHINGTON. Nov That there are today l00, 0,O00.00U acres of swamp lands in the United States, of which s5,0O0 000 acres can be reclaimed for agriculture, is reported by the commit tee on statistics and standards of the chamber of commerce of the United states According to this committee, of which A. W. Douglas, of St. Louis, is the chairman. the vast area of lanG which could be made available is about 52 per cent of the entire acreage of our present corn crop and twice the aver age acreage planted to cotton
 Although the work of reclamation of swamp lands of any moment Is an en- terprise of recent times. it grows in volume and importance each year. The committee traces step by step the his tory of the retaining of swamps in this country and with it lays stress upon the part played by the mosquito which. for years held undisputed sway so frequently carrying the deadly germs of malaria and yellow fever.
 How Uncle Sam Cornered the Mosquito
 Had not the hospital corps of the United States army so definitely de- termined the status of the mosquito and thus caused the menacing swamp lands to be drained, the national chamber of commerce declares it is a question whether the building of the Panama canal would have been possi- hle The tragic failure Of the French Co dig the waterway is attributed to the existence of mosquitoes.
 In the early nineties of the last cen eury it was demonstrated beyond ques- lion that the cause of mahr.a was transmitted by a species of mosquito and that there was no other possible method Of infection the committed continues. "All that was necessary |, prevent malaria was to avoid beinf bitten by this mosquito. Army mediCa officers stationed in Cuba after tn, Spanish American war. undertook . series of similar experiments in regar, Go yellow fever. IL was the silent un obtrusive herois mthat gave it's life ii order that humanity might live, fo some of the officers and soldiers die, from yellow fever as a result of thes experiments. II was demonstrated tha the bite of another genus of the mos quito famil~ was the sole source of in lection 0f yellow fever Since then tn fear of this pestilence has vanishe from mems minds in all civilized coun tries. for protective measures were i'm mediately found which are both sim ple and effective.
 Worthless Land Jumps to $50 an Acr
 The cost of drainage as determine by the committee varies according t conditions and localities. In Missour it ranges from S3 t0 S7 per acre. and C this must be added the cost of clear ing the land when timbered, whic varies from SIP Co S25 per acre. Tn timber on swamp lands consists c poplar. oak. pine. spruce. cypress an gum. and is often very valuable an repays the cost of clearing many time over This Is especially true of th cypress swamps of Louisiana.

HUGE AREA 1T SWAMP LAND TO
 BE RECLAIMED BY GOVERNMENT

laildtGn, OtHerMiSe II IS a serious lld- bility as q breeder of fever Once cleared the price ranges from $50 per acre upwards. The soil is generally of unusual fertility, since most of the land IS an alluVial deposit from some neigh boring river. Besides, it is usually very rich in humus, because of centuries of decaying vegetable matter. As 1t has naturally an abundance of moisture, 1t possesses all the requisites of abound ing yields.
 Modern Drainage Methods
 The work of swamp reclamation, as explained by the national chamber committee. is practically all done by private enterprise, sometimes indivld- uals. sometimes by chartered com panies, but more often by cooperative organization in the form of what are known as drainage districts. The dis tricts are formed usually by the ma jority, sometimes two-thirds, of the persons who own the lands to be drain ed and who signify their desire, ac- cording to certain legal methods, that such lands be drained. If petition be approved. then all action from that time is according to certain definite and carefully prescribed legal procedure and under the care and supervision of state authorities. Every possible pre- caution is exercised to make it a strictly business proposition. free from speculation and exploitation for per sonal gain
 Taxes are levied upon the land to
 pay the initial expenses. and after that
 drainage bonds, as they are called are
 issued for the continuing costs and for
 the completion uf the work. Taxes are
 levied annually to pay the interest and
 the principal on the bonds, which a1 a
 Ea. A4.eN f.t~ state taxes The bonds bear from to per cent interest, and run from 20 to
 Al years. being generally on the amor tiZatiOn plan. They are usually re-
 garded as sound securities and safe in- vesments. Roth laws and methods of
 procedure differ somewhat in details in the various states. but are essentially ? the same in the principles involved and the results attained.
 ? Where the Engineer Comes In In the engineering problem of drain age. according to the report, there are usually three principles involved: First , provision for the disposal of the water from the surrounding watershed or more elevated land: second, taking care D of the surplus precipitation upon the Q drained land4 or run off" as # is tech
 nically called. third. protection against c backwater or overflow from ueighbor- ing rivers in times of flood. to whicf } may be added a humping station to dis | pose of the run off when the waters o } the neighboring river are SO high tha . they will not take the run off from th' h district.
