BANKHEAD HAS BILL ID REDEEM SWAMP LANDS OF COUNTRY
Introduces It to Head Off Similar Bill by Shoot for Relief of Western Lands
 Exclusively
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washinsten Bureau rns Ass- Herald
 500 Davidsen EulIdina

Washington, May 4.-(Special.) )-Repre- sentative William B. Bankhead has intro duced bill providing for the appropria- ton of $50o,OO0,OOO within a period of Il years to be expended in the redemption of arid, swamp and overflow lands in the United States.
 The introduction of this bill was deemed necessary because of the abandonment of a similar bill sponsored in the last ses- sion of Congress by Representative Smith and Senator Fletcher, and The substitu- ton by Senator Shoot of measure pro- ! viding for the reclamation of western lands exclusively.
 Senator Shoot was animated in his neglect of the southern lands by belief that a bill for some definite and specific local purpose would be more sure of sus- cess than a general measure embarking the government on a new and apparently indeterminable policy. The subject, in the opinion of sfdr. Bankhead and other southerners interested, is of such trans- cendent importance that Congress could

SWEET POTOTO HAS
 MANY POSSIBILITIES
Scientists May Be Able to Ex' tract Juice From Potato
 So as to Ship
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, May Especial )-The sweet potato may be proved as valuable an asset to states capable of producing it in great quantities as the peanut has proved to Alabams. and Georgi, In the opinion of Sentor Dial os South Caro- lima.
 At the present tlme. the sweet potato is not of exceedingly great commercial value. In Georgia. the depai tment of agriculture is experimenting inc the manufacture of syrup from the sweet potato. Attractions are very excellent in appearance and taste, it is affirmed, but it has not yet been demonstr that it can be produccl at such reason able cost was to warrant it's competition with sorghum, sugarcane and maple syrups.
 The department of agriculture. George Livingstone it's director of mar kets, informs Senator Dial, has ascer- tained that@it is scientifically possible to extract the liquid substance from the sweet potato without doing injury to the potato. This scheme viii make it possible to prepare, and store or ship. the sweet potato at a profit; or rather, will eliminate the risk of decomposition in transit.
 At the request of Senator Dial, the director of markets will immediately send broadcast through the sweet po- tato section all information bearing on the subject. Alabama Is the principal sweet potato state, with Georgia and Texas second and third. Florida ranks high, and in recent year the produc- tion in South Carolina has made phe- nomenal gains.

by no means be justified in abandoning it solely because of the great difficulties involved. The fight, therefore, has been initiated.
 There are in the south 1S9, ,o00 acres of valuable land which at present Is not possible of employment. This acreage is divided as follows: Cutover lands, 15s, ,7OO,- GOO acres; swamp lands, 24.4900O0 acres; overflow lands, |, ,653,O 900 acres. All of this acreage is possible of reclamation, it is scientifically established. It is admitted that there is immediate necessity for the utilization of this waste property.
 To care for the normal increase in pop ulation, government scientists in the de- partment of agriculture estimate that IT, OO0 additional productive acres per day are essential This estimate does not take into consideration the deterioration of acreage presently in cultivation. In addition to the national requirement for reclamation of useless but potentially val uable lands, it is agreed that such recla- nation would make farming more proft- able, and thus check the present exodus from the farm to the city, with the &C., companying danger of ultimate starva- tion.
 In the opinion of MT. Bankhead based on general observation of repeated fail ure, it is not feasible to depend for recla- nation on private capital or the funds of the individual states. The federal gov ernment, alone, he contends, has avaii- able money and credit to undertake a scheme of such prodigious proportions; in other words. it is in the federal gov ernment. exclusively, that hope may be intelligently reposed.
 | Under the bill, the Secretary of the In- terior, when satisfied regarding titles and possibilities of value and taxation, with ultimate return, may accept the bonds of organizations formed for the reclama- tion of presently useless lands, and pro- ceed to reclaim such lands Unders the bill the government may advance the first year only $50, ,O00, 900, the second year S30,- OO0, 900, the third year $400o0,O00 and $5o,' 00o, 900 for each of the eight succeeding years.
 | Repayment to the government will be begun in 1942, 20 years hence. This meas ure has general support of Congress, but its passage may be delayed on recommen' dation of the fiscal agents of the gov ernment who think that expenditures ane l appropriations of all natures must be re- duced in view of the abnormal burder of taxation the. people are required te l hear
