FIFTH ANNUAL GOWflfTKM 1
IT RALEIGH NOV. 26-21 '12 I
The flfth annual convention of the .*3^1
North Carolina Drainage Association -'M
Is to be held in Raleigh Tuesday and ufl
Wednesday, November 2d and 33. ]3
and will be a convention of mueh is- J
terest to all the progressive citiaeM of
the State. Since the passage of
the North Carolina Drainage Law,
over sixty drainage districts have
been organised in eastern, piedmont ' 3
and western North Carolina, cover- 'a
ing an area of approximately 900,000
acres. Tins represents probably the $1
most felrile land in North Carolina,
including, as it does, tbe swamp jy
lands of the coastal plain and tbe
overflowed creek and river bottoms
of the piedmont section. When reclaimed.
the agricultural possibilities Jfl
of these lands are enormous, and tbe \jm
better health conditions which will
result will undoubtedly make tbe i
sections drained a hundred fold more
attractive to the settler or tbe Immigrant.
Consequently the importance
of this work can not be over-eatimated.
In view of the fact that it gives
to the state large acreage of
wonderfully 'fertile land, and makes
large sections of tbe state more desirable
an places of residence. ;fl
An interesting feature of the con- .
vention will be illustrated lectures
on the afternoon of the 27th?onel?y .'JH
a representative of the E. I. du Pont H
do Nemours Powder Company, showing
the uses of powder in drainage
and agricultural work, and another ?1
by a drainage engineer from tbrf U. <3
S. office of Drainage Investigations. ifl
who has most Interesting slide* showing
processes of drainage. ,'^V "
It la also of interest to note
Hon. John H. Small, Congressman
from the Sixth District, will make
addresses on this occasion. cvH
11 citizens of the state interested Jl
in this work are cordially invifed to 1
attend the convention and take part; oH
