ORGANIZED DRAINAGE
IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Preliminary figures on organized
drainage enterprises in South Caro-
lima have been Announced by the
Census Bureau, showing total Of
154,697 acres of land in organized
drainage districts involving a total
cost of $618,083. These figures are as
of December 81, 1919.
1t is interesting to note that the
drainage areas include 62,427 acres
of improved farm land, 1902 acres
of timbered and cut-over land, and
1929 acres Of other unimproved
land. The swampy or wet land ub-
ject to overflow included in these
figures amount to 5,76O acres.
The total land area in South Caro-
lima Is 19,516,S00 acres, so that the
land included in the organized drain
age enterprises is only eight tenths of
one per cent. of the total area, though
there are hundreds Of thousands of
acres, especially in the Coastal
Plains section of the state, that could
and should be drained for profitable
agriculture.
The average cost per acre for or
ganized drainage, according to the
above figures, is the very small sum
of $500. When this small cost is
considered in connection with the
wonderful Improvement in produc-
tivity of the land so drained, it rs
surprising that much more rapid
progress is not made in organizing
drainage districts in the state. It
is form of cooperating among far
mers and land owners, however, that
is meeting with more and more ia

dations Of this expensive and extern
sive Investigation. The war with Ger
many came on and Uncle Sam had
other fish to fry.
But with the end of the war, with
Europe deserted and impoverished, it
is highly probable that the shores of
America will be thronged by immi-
grants seeking to escape from power
ty stricken Europe to what is con-
sidered abroad the garden spot of the
world.
The instance here of the emigra-
tion from Spain of an entire village
to the United States is an indication
of what may be expected from other
parts of Europe. Spain was not even
a sufferer from the war as were Ger
many, Russia, Italy and other ma
tions. That the people of those war
ridden countries will flock to Ameri-
ca by thousands is foregone conclu-
clusion unless congress enacts laws
that will limit this tide of foreign
travel
While there may be vast amount
of raw human material dumped upon
our shores as the result of the war
it will take wise statesmen to devise
measures that will be just to wor-
thy class of people who will want to
make their homes in the United
States.
A recent press dispatch from New
York is to the effect that Carl Paul
son, his wife and fifteen children,
ranging from the ages of four months
to nineteen years, have arrived at
that port from Denmark, intending
to make their home in America. This
man and family will probably become
valuable acquisition to our citizen
ship. When as>ed about his plans

ers and threc sons married on the
