The swamp lands when drained, are the richest and most fertile agricultural lands tobe found. State authorities believe they will increase jin value from $5 to at least $50 per acre when prepared for agricujtural The swamp land soils have ‘been analyzed under state direction, and declared to be the mostideal for general agriculture of any soil in the tate. In the statement submitted by Mr. Ralph Ltasea .covnty is credited with 1,590,000 acres of swamp while St, | Louis county has 1,192,160 acres and Beltrami: couaty 1,451,520. These three counties are the only ones in texcess of a million acres and the benefit to this section would be beyond computation.
