why Not Drain Maple and the
Reedy Creek?
Editor Dillon Herald

Editor Dillon Herald
AS you always stand for the IN
ll1t OF the county and town. it will
PROBABLY be not miss to devote some
space for something that will ever
De OF untold benefit to the public as
well as the individual. The drainage
basins of the above mentioned stream
are as fertile, naturally, as any lands
IN the coastal plain. A great MANY
individuals think when first drain
age project is mentioned that the
swamp land is all that vii be bene-
tltted. That is not what a drainage
project is for. While the drowned
area would he reclaimed and is ma
turally very fertile.
The land already in cultivation is
lhe stuff to the most interested in
AS all projects are eventually a uues-
tlon of dollars and cents, we will ook
at that side. Some might point to the
PROJECT IN North Carolina near Penn
broke and tell the truth when thev
say that the small land owner was
oVerburdened. Our projects in Dillon
county are altogether different
proposition. The land to a great ex-
tent is already cleared and in about
as good state Of cultivation as pos
slble to make it undrained. The peo-
pie in North Carolina had to clear
those frog ponds, and of course they
were burdened for awhile, now some
of those lands are selling for 500
to $3.50 per acre that were at one
time only fit to raise frogs and mos
quitoes and could be bought for 81
TO $40 per acre.
The Reedy Creek and Maple basins
have clay and not quick sand
foundation.
l have from time to time in the
last few years had occasion to run
levels in and around the town of Dill
Ion and l consider myself familiar
with the general contour. l can say
truthfully that Dillon will remain wet
until Maple is drained. That is abso-
lutely the only way unless an enor-
nous amount Of money is spent in
sinking drainage conduit to Little
Pee Dee river. And than l would not
say it was perfect drainage. Money
spent in little ditching now and
then around the town is practically
all of no value, and never will be.
Maple is now very sluggish stream
and is filled with trees due to the
timber cutting. Dillon will continue to
get wetter until Maple is drained.
If l were aSke dhow much it would
benefit the town alone 1 would say
that you could not estimate it in dol
lars and cents, for the benefit would
be perpetual.
How long would it take? With the
machinery available it would take
about as long to handle one Of these
projects as it would take to build a
house which is about a year more or
less.
The projects were all up before the
war but were dropped as they should
have been when we went in. If there
are any individuals interested l shall
be glad to give them the benefit of
my best advice.

COUNTY WOMEN
 IN LOAN TALK

Mrs. Leland Stillman. chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan committee of Fairfield county, is planning an in- teresting luncheon and meeting of her local chairmen and their commit tees at the Hotel Davenport in Stam- ford on April 8.
 The 1 o'clock luncheon will be pre- ceded by an informal meeting and fol- lowed by another meeting with ad- dresses by Chairman Dascom of the Stamford Liberty Loan committee, and other speakers. Edith J. R. Isaacs, chief of Woman's Publicity of the district, will speak on the help which local committees can get through the publicity organization, and on the features which may be de- veloped in the district, including the Woman's Liberty Loan Camera club, through which will be told the work of the Woman's committee in pie lures, and the Victory Loan Festival
 The Fairfield County Woman's Lib erty Loan committee had the honor of a full page story on their work in the March McCalPs magazine, where it was called one of the best of the country's organizations for Liberty Loan service.
 Mrs. Sttllman and her committee have built up their record increasingly with each loan, and it is their hope and their intention to add to their strength again for the Victory Loan.

CONTROVERSY ON
 JAP ISLANDS

Tokio, April 2-(Correspondenc of The Associated Press)-Public opin- ion in Japan Is not entirely unant- nous on the question whether Japan shall retain possession of the Marshall and Caroline Islands which she took from Germany and now holds. The Osaka Mainichi sets forth the attitude of many Japanese thinkers in an ar ticle in which that newspaper insists that the islands shall be retained. The Mainichi declares that, if America was allowed to seize and fortify Hawaii and thus to greatly threaten Japan; if she was permitted to occupy Guam and the Philippines, making them not only source of wealth to herself but also a great menace to Japan, China and the British and Dutch possessions; if Australia and New Zealand have similar control over New Guinea and Samoa; it is certain that Japan shall possess the Marshall and Caroline Islands, exer- cising the same right and rule over them.
 And in 50 doing" the paper as- serts, Japan will be only acting the part of a small watch dog faithfully protecting it's own house, in a very different manner and spirit from the American wolf whose wolflsh ambi- ton s indeed to be feared. If Japan Is not to be allowed to fortify the is- lands she took from Germany and which of right belongs to her, then the defenses of Gibraltar. the Suez Canal and other points should be razed.
 Racial discriminatory treatment in these respects, too, should be abol- ished and these islands not be left to white mans domination"
 The opposite view was expressed by Yukio Ozaki, former Minister of Jus tice, in an address delivered in Tolxio a few days ago in which he said:
 Tt Is, indeed, a great honor for Japan to occupy the position of a stockh older in that great international corporation, the League of Nations. The honor is far greater than Japan will obtain by the possession of the Marshall and Caroline Islands

GERMANY SHOWING HER HAND

The people who think that the Germans have been sitting tight and doing nothing since they turned tall and ran, will have another think.
 The latest development "over there.' the giving over of Hungary to the Bolsheviks, is, of course, made in Germany" The Hun thoughts now turn to the east He has already destroyed all government, civilization, and industry in Russia. His theory is to organize Russia in dustrially so that it shall be tributary to Germany. The Bo1sheviks are merely his advance agents It is thoIr business to level all social structures and prepare the soil for the crop of German power.
 If this situation is thoroughly un- derstood, it can be met. Meanwhile the people here at home who were so confident that Germany could be trusted because she had on the sur face adopted a democratic form of government would better reflect that things are seldom what they seem.

FARM LAND VALUE
 HERE INCREASES

Washington, April 2-Farm lands in the United States are steadily in creasing in value. The Department of Agriculture reports the average grade of blow lands was worth about $74.31 per acre on March 1 this year, compared with $6S.38 a year ago, $62.17 two years ago, and $5S.S9 three years ago
 Values show the greatest percent age increase during the last year oc- cured in the South Atlantic states, in the Carolinas and Georgia and ex- tended to Alabama, Kentucky and Ar kansas. Small or no increases were made in the New England states, the Pacific Coast states, and Louisiana, Texas, Kansas and Montana Material increases were reported from Ne braska and South Dakota
 Iowa's blowing lands stand first in value, her average being $169 per acre. followed by Illinois with $144, California with $121, and Indiana with $1O0. Alabama reports the. low est average value of blow lands, at SPA per acre, and Mississippi next, at $25.50. Connecticut Is listed at $55.

FARM BUREAU IN MEMBERSHIP RACE

During the week of April TIP every Farm Bureau in Connecticut will conduct strenuous membership campaign. The movement, which has for it's object the raising of funds to back up g. program for better agrf- culture and homenaking. is endorsed by the State Manufacturers as well as by the State Bankers Associa- ton.
 In Fairfield County there are now about HOO Farm Bureau members. A determined effort will be made to increase this number over the 2,500 membership goal set by the Bureau directors.
 For each town, the local commit tee composed of the Farm Bureau di- rector and chairmen of the Home Economics and Junior Committees will have direct charge Of the cam paign. They will endeavor to reach through volunteer canvassers as many people as possible during the mem bership week. Present members whose subscriptions fall due April first will greatly aid the work of their town committees by remitting at once to the Farm Bureau office in Dan bury.
 Get behind the movement for bet ter agriculture and homemaking in Fairfield County. Back up your Farm Bureau.
 Wm. H. Burnhana, local director from Bridgeport, will have charge Of the local Farm Bureau membership campaign. Last year Bridgeport had 475 mem bers. 650 has been set as the mark to be reached during the week Of April 7-12.
