INVESTIGATION OF SWAMP AND CUT-OVER LANDS. 
In the appropriation for the United States Reclamation Service 
for the fiscal year 1919, the Congress made the following provision 
for the investigation of swamp and cut-over lands: 
For an investigation to be made by the Director of the Reclamation Service 
of the reclamation by drainage of lands outside existing reclamation projects 
and of the reclamation and preparation for cultivation of cut-over timberlands 
in any of the States of the United States, including personal services in the 
District of Columbia and elsewhere, purchase, maintenance, repair, hire, and 
operation of motor-propelled or horse-drawn passenger vehicles, and for all 
other expenses, there is appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not 
otherwise appropriated, $100,000. 
In undertaking this investigation, the work fell naturally into 
three divisions, one comprising the States north of the Ohio River 
and east of the Missouri, another including the Southern States, and 
a third taking in the States lying partly or wholly west of the hun- 
dredth meridian. 
Any classification of the swamp and cut-over lands of the country 
must be exceedingly rough and general, as, owing to the nature of 
the case, two different authorities, however careful and skillful, will 
probably differ widely in results if these are independently obtained.
