The drainage of s'wtunps will bp . pffpptive as irrigation of desert in increasing the area of arable Intnl. Tho failure of some of the private or state irrigation projects for which public Innds have been segregated N full of pathos, and the final record of some of the failures has been filled with tragedy, for the thousands who nave sullcrcd fmnnpinl nun. .Most of thp failures could have been fore seen and averted bv an honest and thorough consideration of fundaiaen tnl factors, but the desire for gnin was too great qnd .caution was thrown to the winds.. Sound llasU ralnage ltcclnniatlon In stalling the new form of na tional activity which is now projo-ed the drainage of swamp lands n serious attempt should be made to put the work on a sound basis and to avoid as far as Mssible the mistakes make in irrigation. Irrigation mid drainage have much in common and nre liable to practically the same dangers in fact, in innny localities not only in the west, but in the east, drainage must to accompanied by ir rigation. General methods for fin ancing and managing drninnge pro jects having been devised, the data necessary for devgning the drainage system may generally be collected in Hiieh a field survey as can be made within n period of n few months, ex cept as regards tho quantity of wa ter for which the canals- must be designed. .Measure Stream Flow This last determination, however, involves the collection of records ex tending over long tveriods. No such determinations have been made, so far as I am informed, for large swnmp areas in the southern states Designs for drainage construction hnve had no other basis than general records of precipitation and evapo ration, and the result hns been that draiiiago systems have been designed and partly constructed with insuffic ient capacity to accomplish the de sired results. Disappointment mnv follow for thousands of small pur chasers of land who have been nssur id that the laud would ho speedily drained.
