HIGH-PRICED FARM LAND RECL !

41 MED FROM SWAMPS. By V. A. Martin. i 7Ir!0Ti.! Crop Improvtment Service. J -sr T HAS been estimated that nearly 1 (Uj'-lialf of the farm lands of America are standing Idle ber:u;se they are not in tillable coudilion. Fur instance, in the state of Wisconsin there are thousands of .small lakes most of which Bre surrounded by more or lefts wonderful rich iiuid which Is either overflowed or low-lying in hogs. It Is one of the -robleras of every agricultural college to put this land in farming condition and rnucb progress is being made in introducing modern methods of draining this land. 'ounty agricultural agents in counties which have such low-lying lands, are holding drainage meetings and they will all welcome any man who iv in search of drainage Information. No man who has a wet farm should neglect putting it in tillable condlr'on. Many Instances are cited of wonderful results from merely making Y-shaped ditches. One county agent states that a farmer at Green Bay. W is., by the name of M. rSodenheinier, had 30 acres of flat land on which the water stood whenever It rained. The water would sor Into the land and consequently it kept too soft and wet to work. He acquired this land about eighteen years ago and he always thought a lot of the place as the soil was of a rich nature and he was determined to get something out of It. He got signers nnd triod to bring

ihe mutter of drainage before the circuit judge, spending $r.iiO of his own money in the effort, but nothing came of it. Then he dropped the whole matter and started after the Job himself with a Y-shaped ditching machine. Before draining this land he could not Ket over $1.1 to i?r. per acre, hut after ditching and getting it into shape he would not take $10u per acre for It. The land is rich and will produce more and bettor crops for years to come than he could get from any other kind of land. He makes his own ditches, often three to four feet deep, and can build n half mile or more of them in k-ss than a day. The laterals to connect up wUh the main ditch require even less time, ife can put the whole body of land tinder cultivation and have ulso as fine corn and meadow land as there is In the state. In like manner he is going to drain his peat Jand which contains live springs which saturate thc.r surroundings. The last ditch he made took care of every bit of water from ihe big ruins in December. Xo farmer ought to he without a ditching machine as it can be put to so many uses. The right kind of n ditcher is also fl perfect terracing machine and for laying tile It cannot be beat because you can go right back and cover the tile w ith the same machine. If you have such land you should lose r,o time in addressing the State Agricultural College and asking them for the most economical way to reclaim It.
