cred. Such marshes are not the most
desirable for immediate development.
Where the soil is a well decomposed
shallow peat or muck over a rather
heavy subsoil, or where the surface is
a bleak heavy soil, such marshes pre-
sent the most favorable soil conditions
for immediate and profitable devel-
opment
A typical example Of high grade
marsh land suitable for immediate de-
velopment is located in Dane county.
1t includes $50 acres, all of which has
been thoroughly drained by open
bitches and tile drains. There are
many other marshes of equal value in
southern Wisconsin, the immediate de-
velopment of which would help to feed
our armies and allies in the great war.
as well as add greatly to the producing
power of the state and the wealth Of
her citizens.
In 1917 on this reclaimed marsh land
were produced GAO bushels of onions to

gar beets, lettuce, radishes and various
other truck crops also gave very salts
