The Stale Geological and Econo mic Survey has boon interested In the subject of the drainage pf swamp* and overflowed land for several years and has given special attention to | the problem* of. drainage of certain I swamp areas of eastern 5Corth Caro lina and of overflowed areas in the | Piedmont, section of the State. Dur ing this investigation the State Geo logist was impressed with the enor mous aTnount of swamp land In east ori1 ? *k,orth ?

As many will remember, these -two day*- were j spent in <HacussIng~the" drainage prob- 1 lem from all points of view, and the Convention finally adopted a resolu tion indorsing a Drainage Bill which ; it believed would make possible the I drainage of thousands of acres of swamp and overflowed lands in North Carolina. The convention also re- 1 soJved itself Into a permanent organi- 1 zatlon to be known as the North Car- f ollna Drainage Association. The final ^result of the convention 1 and the formation of the Association tin a "Dratn age Ail b.v t lit? Legislature of 1 909. As a result of the passage I of this act eight drainage districts! hav?- bew formed w m? in process I of formation; the largest of which is' the Mattamuskeet Drainage District, wlitcft ~rtm tains approximately 120, 000 acres. The Drainage Division of the Ualt States -Department of Agriculture "ff&s taken a great deal of interest in ] the drainage work of North Carolina, and has assisted us very liberally in i the making of surveys of the pro- ; posed drainage districts and also by assisting us to determine whether or | not the proposed drainage proposf-l tion was feasible. .1 These drainage propositions, which! undertake -Lka_drn I rage. nf thmi?nni8> of acres of swamp land, are large un- i dertaklngs and can be accomplished ' onixiix-the combined efforts of those ( owning the land. The success of the I proposition* depends upon the wise! expenditure of thousands and some- j times hundreds o( thousands of dol lar*_and. for that reason, the Xnrthl Carolina Drainage I. aw contains pro 1 II T I III )| II il 1 IL i .

As yet. this , "drainage law is not yet thoroughly , understood and many of our larger j farmers have an idea that they could ' drain their own lands cheaper and ' Oftr.h n n? tfir ..than j-lpcyn i p* A. 1 part of a drainage district, while, on | the other hand, the small farmer who owns but a few acres of land, has an Idea that^he will be unjustly taxed if ha mitnm u ilrainairi. .li?tr.,t af have to bear a large proportion nf the cost o? the drainage. Both of these classes of men have a misconceived idea ot the drainage law: which' vert, carefully safeguards the interests of the small farmer as well as The large farmer. "* It is^bsolutely impossible for the farmer owning 10.000 to 20. 000 acres.of land to drain this as sat isfactorily by himself as by the for mation oLa drainage district. In order to become more familiar with the operations of the North Car olina Drainage Law there will' be a thorough discussion of this law at the second annual convention of the North Carolina Drainage Ansoolation wtych will be held at New Bern, N. C.. November 10 and 11..1909. This dis^nrsiw will be open to all attend-.
