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.
