HIGH-PRICED FARM LAND RECL AIMED FROM SWAMPS. By W. A. Martin. National Crop Improvement Service. IT HAS been estimated that nearly one-half of the farm lands of America are standing Idle because they are not In tillable condition. For instance, In the state of Wisconsin there are thousands of small lakes most of which are surrounded by more or less wonderful rich land which is either overflowed or low-lying in bogs. It Is one of the problems of every agricultural college to put this land in farming condition and much' progress is being made in introducing modern methods of draining this land. County agricultural agents In counties which have such low-lying lands, are holding drainage meetings and they will all welcome any man who is in search of drainage Information. No man who has a wet farm should neglect putting it in tillable condition. Many instances are cited of wonderful 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 fiat land on which the water stood whenever It rained. The water would sog 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 if it. He got signers and tried to bring

the matter of drainage before the circuit Judge, spending $500 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 V-shaped ditching machine. Before draining this land he could not get over $15 to $25 per acre, but after ditching and getting it Into shape he would not take $10 per acre for it. The land is rich and will produce more and better 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 a half mile or more of them in less than a day. The laterals to connect up with the main ditch require even less time. He can put the whole body of land under cultivation and have also as fine corn and meadow land as there is in the state. In like manner he Is going to drain his peat land which contains live springs -which saturate their surroundings. The last ditch he made took care of every bit of water from the big rains 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 ditcher is also a perfect terracing machine and for laying tile it cannot be beat because you can go right back and cover the tile with the same machine. If you have such land you should lose no time in addressing the State Agricultural College and asking them for the most economical way to reclaim It.

BI-METALISM URGED BY SEN. THOMAS AS EXCHANGE REMEDY

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. Declaring that foreign exchange had become the "sinister international problem" within the last six months and unless adjusted soon "commercial chaos" would

overwhelm international trade, benator Thomas, Democrat, Colorado, urged in a speech today the re-establlsh-ment of the old ratio between gold and silver and the creation of International bi-metalism. "The time has come," he said, "when America should take the initiative and renew its proposal of 1987 for the establishment of a parity between the ancient monetary metals whose relative values now oscillate between 15 M and 15 to 1. Europe, bereft of gold and burdened with an enormous debt, Senator Thomas declared, faces the problem of reestablishing and re-constructing her foreign trade and would welcome any system of international stabilization of silver and gold values that could be accomplished without endangering the financial structure of international commerce or credit. The slow but steady rise in the value of silver during the war in spite of efforts to prevent it more than restored the old equilibrium between gold and silver, he said, until today gold is the cheaper metal and it rather than silver needs the steadying influence of an international agreement.

The "whirligig of time" he declared i had made applicable to gold today the ! same arguments that were used against silver in 1S96, and '97, Senator J Thomas declared that "events have confounded the contentions of the ad-1 vocates of gold standard supremacy,

justified the arguments of the defend- (

ers of silver and confirmed the wisdom of the theory of bi-metalism." Coin Dollars at Loss. The United States cannot coin silver dollars today except at a loss. Senator Thomas said, and the condition will soon, apply as well to fractional currency. On such a basis he declared, the coins will go to the melting pot as fast as they are made and inevitably rrecipitate throughout the world a famine in fractional currency unless the ration be adjusted by international agreement. The volume of paper money in the world is out of all proportion to the value of specie, he said, and in this condition lies the seat of the international exchange crisis. At the beginning of the world war the total paper money of the thirty principal nations of the world amounted to ebout seven billion dollars, he declared and in December, 1919 it had increased to more than forty billion dollars

Pullmans Ready to Carry Local Rotarians To Ft. Wayne Meeting

MANY ITALIANS TO EMIGRATE TO U. S.

IS OFFICIAL BELIEF

CBy Associated Press) NAPLES. Feb. 10 More Italians will emigrate to the United States this year than in the record year of 1913. when 375,000 left these shores for America, in the opinion of American officials In Italy. Already they are besieging the consulate here to the extent that the small staff is swamped. The thirty ships plying between Italy and the United States are carry-' ing thousands. It is estimated that 100,000 reserv-j ists who came from the United States are alive and that 60,000 of them will return this year. All who wish to go back must do so within two years. One of the chief reasons American consuls are overburdened with work is that such careful check is made of each applicant for a passport. The only illiterates allowed to go are wives and children of men already in America. A conviction in court, even for a minor offense, bars the applicant from going. U. S. "Mighty Particular" The Associated Press correspondent watched the Dante Alighieri sail from here on her last trip with 1,700 third class passengers for New York. They were mostly women and children but among them was a sprinkling of reservists, many in faded uniforms. The correspondent spoke to several rejected reservists who glumly watched the vessel sail. One was an illiterate, the second had been convicted of assault and battery, spent eleven days in jail and complained that the United States was "mighty particular when it would not admit a man because he had had a fight", while the third had been jailed for-

disturbing the peace.
