ATLANTA, On., April flO.-Tho

mestio supply of foodstuffs by re-
claiming its waste nrens tuitl by cul
tivating more extensively nil its ng
ririilturnl liirul, states Nathan C. Gro
vpr, chief hydraulic engineer, United
Slates geological survey, before the
dinning congress nt Snvnnnnh, Ga.,
toilny.
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
