Drainage Wealth.

Scientists tell US that few
thousands, a few million or a few
billion years ago-details are of
no importance-the mouth of the
Mississippi was at Cairo. Illinois
and that all of the great alluvial
plains stretching almost a thous-
and miles to the delta are the
result of material carried down
by the rivers and deposited as
the current slackened. On the
same basis a few million or billion
years from now the delta of the
Mississippi will be on the verge
of Yucatan and the Gulf of Mex
leo will be a lake.
1t is not contended here and
now that the States of the upper
Missouri and Mississippi. the
Ohio, Allegheny and Youghieg-
heny have any claim on the South
because the latter has soil which
was once their own. 1t is a fact
which might not be made basis
for legal recovery. '.., ''....
But the fact that drainage
canals are being dug through all
of the delta country with results
of a financial advantage means
something. Land once worth a
dollar an acre is now worth $l40
after being drained, and the best
of long staple cotton Is being
raised where once only mosqui-
toes lived. The South is wax
ing up to realization that it
must do much of its own engin-
eering. 1t is a pity thatit thinks
only of cotton. If there is any,
thing in the laws of economics as
applied, Mississippi should be
richer than Pennsylvania and
Louisiana ought to be able to buy
Massachusetts as summer re-
sort. Philadelphia Inquirer. zeri.
