OSTIA, Italy, Jan. 10. (A. P.)
Efforts are being made to reclaim
and plant parts or the vast tract of
land which stretches for several miles
around Rome and goes by the name
of the "Campakna llomana." It ha
been allowed to remain idle and'un
cultivated ever since the fall of the
Roman Empire.
Before that time It was a sort of
terrestrial paradise; villas and gar
dens were dotted all over It as fa as
the eye could see ,lt was luxuriant
with fruit and flowers, it supplied
food and work for thousands upon
thousands of men, it was one of the
most beautiful and intensively culti
vated spots in the world.
When Rome, however, was obliged
to resign her position as "the mistress
of the world," the "campaign" was
abandoned and gradually became i
marshy, malaria-infected desert. In
habited only by a few hardy shep
herds.
Now, however, the law which was
recently passed, decreeing that any
one who does not cultivute his land
to the utmost of its capacity la liable
to have the land confiscated,. Is be
ginning to have its effects. Prince
Aldobrundini has engaged a company
to reclaim a huge estate of several
thousand acres, which he owns In the
"campagna.'
- The work has already begun and an
experimental station has been set up
at Ostla. The land was first of all
drained and then, arrangements were
made to obtain water from the Tiber
fur irrigation. Electric tractors to
draw the ploughs were then bought
and various kinds of frulta, vegetables
and cereals cultivated in order to find
out how fertile the land is and what
kind of crop It Is most adapted for.
The results were beyond the wild
est hope sow any of the promoters of
the company. The land, after' lying
idle for' centuries, seems to have
stored up its fertility throughout all
that tlmo and now yields crop upon
crop with unstinting hand.
An attempt has even been made to
grow cotton here and the experiment
has been successful, but how success
ful it has been Impossible to deter
mine, an the cotton used was of the
