One Hundred Million Bushels of Corn
Could Be Grown on Georgia Swamps
CHARLES A. WHITTLE —
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
As much as 100,000,000 bushels of
corn could be grown on the overflow
and swamp lands of Georgia. One
could nearly duplicate that for each
of the Atlantic and Gulf States of
the South. Six or seven hundred mil
lion bushels of corn is worth whila.
Of course, It might be expressed in
terms of cotton, potatoes, etc.
The fact Is that the best lands of
the South are overflow and swamp
lands. The swamp lands are the
black belt lands in process of forma
tion. How long lgo we do not know,
but sometime quite a way back all
the black soil region of the South
was a big swamp. Either it was
humped up and drained itself by some
Internal impetus of the world, or It
continued to fill up with its own veg
etation and the wash from higher
lands till It became tillable.
In Florida the era of the canal
diggers Is well on lts way. The water

luvlal bottom lands now lost to pro
duction.
Why? Because of the wash from
above. Look upon the gullies of the
red hills of the Piedmont region!
There is the answer. Look at the
bare lands in the winter with no cover
crop to check the leach and erosion!
Look at the absence of terraces or
the carelessness with which they are
maintained! Look at the carelessness
of landowners in permitting the
streams to become clogged with de
bris!
Now the South must pay for the9e
mistakes by ditching. Fortunately the
South can pay for its mistakes and
get for the payment the richest land
of which it can boast. It is not oft«n
that one can recoup losses with so
great a success.
But why has the South not been
ditching and draining its overflow
lands, and why is it not taking pos
session again of its best lands which
it has been compelled to abandon and
retire to the hills? The reason in
that it is too big a job for single
farmers. If it were only the ditch
ing and draining of his own farm,
that would not be too much; but
draining one farm, if that farm does
not extend from the source to the
mouth of the stream which has been
consuming land, is not practical.
If the farmer next below does no,t
also ditch and dig the right depth,
the first farmer might as well have
saved his money. If all of the farm
ers along the stream do not ditch in
exactly the right way the reclamation
work will soon be lost.
As a direct result of drainage en
terprises, alnds which heretofore
could have been purchased for a
nominal sum. perhaps from $5 to $10
per acre, are now being sold as high
as $200 per acre, and they are worth
It.
It is a plain financial proposition,
that if drained land is worth, say from
$50 to $100 per acre, and it costs only
a fraction of that amount to ef
fect the drainage of it, the sum de
pending upon how many acres are
drained and the size of the channel —
that an inviting field for investment
is afforded.
If overflow lands could be optioned
at their present values, they could be
drained and sold in many instances
before the option time expires, netting
the drainage company all of the in
crease in the value of the land.
This very thing is being done in
swamp lands by promoting compa
nies whose actual capital tied up nev
er becomes very much. The only rea
son that it is being done in swamp
lands is that the swamp lands are
owned by very few people and can
be easily obtained, while the over
flow land has numerous holders, all
of whom have to be lined up to a fair
basis before the enterprise can be
financed. In many places, however,
overflow lands can be handled suc
cessfully in this way.
The co-operative undertakings
wherein the farmers effected join in
the expense, a system of bonding the
land to be improved at so much per
acre, these bonds to carry as low a
rate of interest as possible, with the
land itself backing it with a mort
gage, has been successfully worked.
Ditching a deeper and better bed for
a stream will not mean a permanent
improvement of the adjoining land, if
care is not taken to check erosion or
the flowing sand and gravel from the
slopes of the watershed with every
rain.
To keep the channel from filling up
again in a short time, there must be
well kept terraces on the slopes, each
terrace constructed on a water level
and near enough to each other to
prevent an accumulation of w’ater
that would break over and cause a
wash.
