Just alike and no partiality is shown
Under the law a number of farmers
can get together and sign up an
agreement to form a Drainage Dis
trict They employ an engineer to
survey the lands of each man, that
is such lands as would be dried out
by the ditch: these lands are then
classified into five classes by COM
mittee appointed by the County COM
missioners who constitute the Drain
age Court.
If this court creates the district
then the engineer goes on with the
work of locating the ditch, and its
size, and reports how many cubic
yards of dirt there will be, and the
estimated costs of the work, after
which three Drainage Commissioners
are elected by the land owners and
approved by the court.
These Commissioners proceed to
advertise for the lowest bids for the
ditching work which will enable them
to assess the Fight proportion against
the owners of the five classes of
lands so that every man knows to
penny before lick of actual ditch
ing is hit just what amount of money
it is going to cost him. Then the
commissioners can proceed, under di-
rection of the Court, to issue drain
age bonds and through their sale
realize the money with which to pay
for the work
Everything is done in a fair and
open manner and above board and
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
The costs to the land owner may
be divided into twelve annual pay
ments if he chooses, that is, for the
first two years pay only the interest,
and the balance payable in ten equal
annual installments with interest, or
if the owner so desires he can pay
his entire assessment in cash when
the work is completed.
understand that the Drainage
District is ready to issue their bonds
for the Drainage of Alatoona Creek
and l am confident that when they
get the dredge boat to work up there
so we can all see the fine results
the work will bring about we are all
going to fall into line and it won't
be many years until all of the other
creeks will be ditched.
The people on Powder Creek are
about to form a drainage district and
we are also getting a movement un-
der way to form one on Olley's creek
and hear of number of others who
are seriously considering the matter.
1t is sure to come and, the sooner
the better, for it certainly is a splen-
did business opportunity for our far
mers and of course if they can raise
tremendous crops of oats and corn
they are soon going to build siIos and
that will call for big herds of dairy
COWS and first class beef cattle and
then old Cobb can not only live at
home but have lot to spare to our
less fortunate neighbors.
Let's all get squarely behind this
work, talk it and encourage it every
time we get chance, and let ou1
County Commissioners work for it
We couldn't make mistake.
Yours, etc.

The advantages of Drainage

what wonderful corn crops we saw
and the results of a little co-opera-
ton of farmers in the formation of
few drainage districts.
A number of the Walton farmers
told us that the first year of corn re-
turned to them their entire part of
the cost of ditching and they now
say their bottom lands are not for
sale but that if they were they would
not price them at less than 100000
per acre.
Their drainage cost ran from S26.25
per acre on down to as low as 1925
per acre, according to which of the
five classes it happened to be placed
in.
We talked to Mr.. Roberts, man
who led the legal fight against the
drainage work in that county and
who fought it to the last court, and
he stated to US that they won out
over him and made him pay his part
but that he now sees where he was
wrong in fighting it, that he is max
ing big money on his drained lands
and wouldn't sell it at any price and
he said that if we ran up on any
body in Cobb County who was OPP
posed to drainage to tell them - to
write to him and he would be glad
to tell them how much it benefited
him.
Now, in Cobb county we have
number of fine creeks and some of
the finest bottom lands in the state.
This property is now idle and un-
productive, it is dead capital on the
hands of the farmer. He is working
himself to death to make 20 bushels
of corn per acre on his upland when
right at his door he has land that
would make him from 40 to 60 bush
els per acre every year that comes.
He has bottom lands, which, if
drained, would yield him a fine crop
Of Fulghum Oats and a big crop of
corn every year that comes with the
use of very little fertilizer or posi-
bly, none and never wear it out. He
could make all the corn that Cobb
County could consume and have his
upland left to SOW in grain and plant
in cotton.
In Cobb we have, perhaps, eight
thousand acres of creek bottom lands
on the following creeks, to-wit ::
Sweetwater, Noses, Alatoona, Pow
der Creek, Olley's, Nickajack, Noon
day, Soaps and Wileo.
There may be more than this count
ing the smaller tributaries, and prac-
tically all of this may now be classed
as wet lands.
If it were drained and put under
the plow l think we could safely say
it would average at least 80 bushels
of corn per acre, or total of 100000
bushels of good corn annually be-
sides whatever oat crops might be
harvested upon them.
| merely mention this estimate to
impress upon the minds of our peo-
pie the great opportunity we have
right at our doors if we would only
take advantage of it.
l feel quite sure none of us will
be successful in retaining our creek
lands by individual effort. 1t will
never be done and cannot be economi-
cally done except through the drain
age district plan.
The drainage law is too long for
me to undertake to set out a synop-
sis of it but all who are familiar with
it agree that it's terms are fair and
that there is no way for a Drainage
District to help one member and in
jure another.
Every man is under this law treated

An Excellent Food for Sick Children

This food is recommended in the
summer by club woman.
2 cups of firm clabber- let drip for
several hours in thin bag, then mash
through fine sieve; add / cup fresh
buttermilk and one cup water; keep
on ice and prepare every "a hours.
This is a wonderful remedy for dys-
EMERY; it is half as nourishing as
sweet milk and is antagonistic as
germs they cannot live in it.
