The Reclamation of River Deltas and Salt Marshes
In the following paper an attempt is made to show the practicability and great desirability of reclaiming the immensely rich swamp lands situated at the mouths of many rivers, notably the Mississippi, and the salt marsh lands lying along the whole seaboard, lands than which no richer exist on the continent, and which are pre-eminently adapted to most successful cultivation of, not only rice, but sugar and all classes of garden truck, these reclaimed swamp lands being of much greater agricultural value and capability than the irrigated prairies, which are so popular at present with rice growers in Louisiana and Texas.
