WASTE LANDS IN AMERICA
Vast Amount of Swamp and Wet Ter
ritory That Will Some Time Be
Made Productive.

There are 1O2,S0OOO0 acres of un.
cultivated swamp and wet lands In the
United States that can be made eN'
ceedlngly productive, says Thrift.
The area Is larger than Illinois, Iowa
and Indiana combined, or three
fourths of France. Information re-
Gently was collected by the depart
ment of agriculture in regard to TWEEN
ty drainage districts in eastern North
Carolina. These districts cover an
area of 25S,425 acres, Of which $4,000
acres were cultivated prior to drain
age, Since the lands have been drain
ed $4,000 acres have been cleared and
placed under cultivation; making a
total area of $1,000 acres now under
the pillow in these districts. OF the
area placed under cultivation since
the lands were drained. 12,OOU acres
were located in one district of 10000
acres, where an active selling and de-
velopment campaign has been conduct
ed by the persons owning the land.
There are more than 300 drainage
districts in one county in Iowa which
has spent more than $10,OO0,0OO on
drainage improvements. During the
twenty years from 1898 to 1917 Michi-
gan spent $18,859,576 for drainage i'm
provements. In North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi
Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Missouri, state laws have been passed
concerning land drainage and over y
100000 acres have been included In
drainage districts, where the improve
ments planned either have been con-
structed or now are under way. The
Little river drainage district in Mis-
souri, containing 550,0OO,OOO acres,
which is more than 80 per cent COM
pleted; the Cypress creek district in
Arkansas, containing 100000 acres,
fully 40 per cent completed; the Bogue
Phalia district in Bolivar county, Mis-
sissippi, containing 100000 acres,
which has been completed recently,
are some Of the leading large scale
drainage projects.

FERTILIZER CHEAPER.
County Agent Advised of Material
Reduction in Guanos.

Amid the soaring prices of food
and clothing, there is balm in an an
nouncement made by County Farm
Agent George r. Briggs this week.
Mr.. Briggs has just been notified by
the department of agriculture Of a
reduction in the price of commercial
fertilizers for fall use approximating
an average of 80 per cent. While
fertilizer prices are not fixed by the
government, the department of agri-
culture has formulated an agreement
with fertilizer manufacturers where
by this reduction is to become effec-
tive for guanos bought this fall for
grain and other fall crops.
The $3.50 guano, which is most
popularity used in this county, is
priced for fall delivery at s31.75
per ton f. o. b. seaboard stations in
thirty ton lots. The former price Of
this fertilizer was about $40 to s45
per ton.

TWO KILLED IN WRECK.
Ford Car Runs Into S. A. L. Train at
Schofield Thursday.

Thursday morning near Schoheld,
this county, two men were killed as
a result of collision between Ford
automobile and the Seaboard Air
Line train No. 81, bound for Savan-
nah. The dead are Robert Williams
and Sawyer Holman, both negroes.
Laurie Reid, a white man was also in
the car, but succeeded in jumping
out of the car in time to prevent in
jury. The accident occurred one mile
north of Schoield. 1t is said that a
drizzling rain prevented the driver
from seeing the oncoming train in
time to avoid rushing on the track in
front of the train. The automobile
was literally torn to pieces and Will
liams was instantly killed. Holman
was rushed to a Columbia hospital
for treatment, but died soon after
reaching the hospital. Mr.. Reid
jumped from the car just moment
before the crash, landing in safety
beyond the engine.

RAIN DAMAGES CROPS.
No Serious Injury Has Been Affected
to Cotton, However.

During the past two or three weeks
Bamberg county has experienced an
unusual fall of rain. Due to this
fact, there has been little activity IN
the cultivation of crops. Some dam
age has been reported to crops gen
orally, although it is not believed
that so far any material damage has
been wrought on cotton. The crops
in this section have been very prom
ising, and the farmers say that the
cool days of the past week have
served to counteract the deleterious
effect of the heavy rains. The princi-
pal damage from rain has been from
the fast growth of grass and the in
ability of farmers to work their crops.
Some fields have been literally taken
over by grass, although these are few
in number. AS a whole crops are in
satisfactory condition throughout
the county.

TWELVE CALVES EIGHT YEARS.
Bamberg County Cow Probably Holds
the Record i'm This Respect.

Bamberg county probably holds
the record in this State, perhaps in
the South, for the most profitable
cow, aside from the fancy breeds.
This COW, a Jersey, is the property
of Charlie Garris, a citizen of the
Hunters Chapel neighborhood.
While this cow is a good and profit
able milcher, her principal distinc-
ton arises from the fact that within
the past eight years she has given
birth of no less than twelve calves.
It is not an uncommon occurrence
for a COW to give birth to twin calves,
but Mr.. Garris's COW has given birth
to twins four times.
In addition to thus producing a
handsome profit for her master, she
gives about an average of one pound
Of butter per day, providing the
household with plenty of milk pro-
ducts.
Mr.. Garris expects to send her to
the State fair this fall, and if prem
ium is offered for the most prolific
COW, he expects to bring home the
blue ribbon.

]. B. CORN EXPIRES.
Life Long "Friend" of the Sick Died
Quiet Death Monday.

The long drought has at last ar
rived. Mr.. J. J. Brabham, probate
judge of this county, closed up shop,
so far as permits are concerned, Mon
day evening at sundown. Mr.. Brab-
ham was called on to prescribe the
never-failing mendicant to many all
ing ones during the last hours per-
mits were permittable. and even at
that a few quarts managed to get by
at the express office without any legal
application for withdrawing the
same. There was no excitement, and
very little talk, upon the occasion Of
the legal death of old man J. B. Corn,
in Bamberg. In fact, the county has
not been afflicted with a great deal
of illness in many months of the sort
that permit from the probate judge
is required to administer the healing
potion. 1t is not to be taken for
granted, because of this pleasing con-
dition, that the county is infested to
any greater degree than other COM
munities with tigers with defective
eyes. True there are some of the
wild variety of the felines in the
county-as everywhere else-but as
a whole the county is comparatively
free of intoxicating liquors at the
present time. The sheriff has, with
in the past few weeks, with the as
sistance of the State constabulary,
rounded up quite a few illicit manu-
featuring plants.
War time prohibition went into
effect at midnight Monday, but in
reality at sundown in Bamberg coun-
ty, for the express offices cannot de-
liver liquor after dark under the
State law. National constitutional
prohibition goes into effect through
out the nation on January 1, 1920,
and it is not likely the traffic will
again have the chance of coming to
life before constitutional prohibition
becomes effective, inasmuch as war
time prohibition is to last until the
soldiers are demobilize6.
