WAGNER GRAIN LETTER CHICAO, Feb. 24. Export news again not bullish but corn and aots look a dip buy overnight. Corn receiDts in Chicago remain small and

season has largely departed. Ticker !

prints an article that the farmer will hold his corn and that farm help is scarce, also that in case the 200,000 limit is removed such a change will not be bearish. Most of the immediate grain news favors bulge sales, but the markets have had a liberal break. The corn visible will evidently again fail to cross the six million mark this season.

By W. A. MARTIN. t National Crop Improvement Service. All of the agricultural colleges are putting great stress on the reclamation of land by pulling stumps and digging ditches. All improved farm land is increasing In value so that It pays to buy ditching machinery and control the water. There is a man out In Sterling, Kan., by the name of J. W. Smyser, who had 1,200 acres In a 'swamp piece of land which was not worth more than $25 an acre. Two years ago he bought a ditching machine and grader and used It on 580 acres of very wet land, so wet that nothing could be raised on it. Before ditching he was unable to harvest a crop on this land, even If he could raise it. If the season was at all wet. If there had been a wet spring he could not plant a crop. He says: "I wouldn't take $125 an acre for this land. Since we used the ditcher we can drive over the farm with a car and we can harvest our wheat with a header or binder, without any

inconvenience on account of mud-

land which is now of no use."

Neither do the ditches bother, as we ditched in such a way as to leave no deep, narrow ditches. "When the neighbors saw what a good thing it was they employed us to ditch their wet lands, which we did with great success. "We now consider our land as good as the best, yet at the time we bought It people criticized our judgment. We are now raising 40 bushels of wheat to the acre on this land and we believe that concerted effort should be made to drain hundreds of thousands of acres which are now wet and boggy. "Our ditching machine makes a V-shaped furrow and we can go just as deep with it as we like. "Farm bureaus under the charge of competent county agents are preaching 'this great doctrine and there is not a county agent who does not know how to go about it. You can get the information right at home as there is now a county agent in nearly every county. Our public land is now all taken up. and we must improve, our opportunities in swampy
