| ing worth while.
A study of salt-marsh vegetation
shows:
l. That on areas on~Which by
reason of lack of dra mage water
stands on the surface for consider
able periods, nearly all vegetation il
destroyed and only pickle weed can
grow.
2. That on areas on which the
water stands for only short time
but which have a water-logged soil,
only coarse grasses grow.
g. That ON areas where the soil
is a little wet, the salt grass grows.
4. That on areas where the soil IS
still better drained, black grass
grows. ,
5. That on areas where the
drainage is almots equal to upl3nd,
the upland vegetation grows.
Pickle weed IS worthless and
sedges coarse salt grass are almost
so. Salt grass and black grass make
good hay. Mosquito drainage tends
to cause pickle weed and sedge 20
disappear and salt grass and black
grass to take their places, thus great
ly increasing the productivity of the
salt-marsh. With proper manage
ment mosquito drainage hardens the
marsh and permits harvesting opera
tons, where before such procedure
would have been impossible.
Studies of the effect of mosquito
drainage on the salt-marsh based up
on comparison of more than 1000
acres of undrained marsh more than
1900 acres of marsh which have
been drained three years Or more,
show that the yield in salt hay is in
creased on an average from OF to 2.6
tons per acre,or an increase of more
than $50 per cent.
Rhe Cost of Draining the Marsh.
An average of about 300 linear
feet of unit ditching and squirting Is
required for one acre. The cost OF
cutting varies from l to cents per
foot, depending upon the price OF
labor and the type of machinery used.
With funds available for continuous
drainage over large areas, the salt
marsh can be satisfactorily drained
for about $500 per acre.
Thirty-fve cents an acre for main
tenance is an average figure for the
salt-mars has it lies and includes the
area of the 20 per cent of marsh
which does not require drainage.
