HIGH-PRICED FARM LAND RECL
AIMED FROM SWAMPS.
By w. A. Martin.
[Nation-l Crop Improvement Service.)
'1‘ HAS been estimated that nearly
one-half of the farm lands of
America are standing idlc be
cause they are not in tillablt- Condi-
tion. For Instance, in the slate of
. Wisconsin there are thousands of
small lakes most of which are sur-
rounded hy more or loss wonderful
rich land which Is either ovcrflowed
or low-lying in bogs.
it Is one of the problems of every
‘ agricultural college to put'tbis land
in farming condition and much prog-
ress is being made in introducing
modern methods of draining this
land.
I County agricultural agents in coun-
ties which have such bur-lying lands,
are holding drainage meetings and
they will all welcome any man who
is in search of drainage infornuulon.
No man who has a wet farm should
t.o;:lect putting it in tilluble condi-
tion. '
Many instances are cited of wou-
derful results from merely making
V-shaped ditches. One county agent
states that a farmer at Green Bay.
Wis. by the name of M. Bodenheimer,
had 320 acres of flat land on which
the water stood whenever It ralned.
The water would so: into the land
and consequently it kept too soft and
wet to work. He acquired this land
about eighteen years ago and he sl-
wuys thought a lot of the place as
the soil was of a rich nature and he
was determined to get something out
'uftcr ditching: and getting it
of it.
He got signers and tried to bring
the, matter of drainage before the clu-
cuit judge. spending SIM! of his own
money in the etl‘ori. but nothing came
of it. Then he dropped the whole
matter and started after the job him-
sclf with a \'-shaped ditching ma-
chine.
Before draining this land he could
not get over $15 to $25 pcr in re. but
into
shape he would not take $100 per
acre for it. The land is rich and will
produce more and bettrr crops for
yours to come than he Could gct from
any other kind of land.

build a half mile or more of them in

even less time. He can pm the whole

In like manner he is going to drain
his~ peat land which contains live
springs uhicli saturate ibcir sur-
roundings. The last ditch he made
took care of every bit of water from
the III: ruins In December.
No farmer ought to be without a
ditching machine as it can be put to
so many uses. The right kind of a
din-her is also a perfect tcrraclng
machine and for laying tile It cannot

back and cover the tile with the same
machine.
