Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy

I waq so much impressed that I pro

DKAIXIXG SWAMP LANDS. J
.. <
There Is no doubt that the drain
ing of swamp lands should go hand '
in hand with the irrigation of arid
lands, and what has been done in the
West can' be repeated in the 8outh 1
with possibly even better results.
What can be accomplished [n the
way of the draining of the swamp
lands of the South, Is suggested in a
letter from former United States Sen
ator Marion Butler, of North Caro?
Una, to the Washington Post, in
which he says:
"There is more land in the South
and Southwest capable or drainage
than there is land in the West cap
able of irrigation. Besides, the work
of drainage can be done cheaper than *
the wprk of irrigation, and when it
is dontf tho lands will bo more valu
able.
"The Bwamp lands have a deep
alluvial soil that will require no fer
tilization, and will bo practically In
exhaustible in productive fertility.
When once this land Is drained none
of it can become valueless, as has
often happened in the West on ac
count of the rising of alkali.
"There are only about C, 000,000
acres of land In my State of North
Carolina now under cultivation, out
of a total of over 31,000,000 acres.
The 6,000,000 acres now under cul
tivation are very largely* upland with
a thin soil, which is soon elhausted,
and requires constant and liberal fer
tilization. There are at least 3,000,
000 acres of swamp land In that
State alone capable of drainage. The
reclamation of these 3 .000.000 acres ?
would more than double the pro3u<> '
Ing capacity of the tillable land of
the State.
"What Is true of North Carolina
in this respect is true to a greater or
less, extent of every other 'Southern
State. There are 600,000,000 acres
of land In the South, but there is to
day less than 150,000,000 acres un
der cultivation. The acreage In these
States capable of drainage would be
worth more when drained than all of
the land now being cultivated.
"A system of drainage under na
tional'Teglalation, similar to the irri
gation laws, including the Cary act,
under which lands may be taken up i
and reclamation projects developed
by private capital, under State sup
erlvison, would soon reclaim an area
of Inexhaustible soil 1q the South
larger than the territory of the
French nation, and would support a
greater population."

offer the most comfortless substi
tutes.
