Marsh Reclamation Profit Without Government Aid
J H K Shannahan demonstrates on Lake Richard farm that marshland can be reclaimed with a gasoline powered centrifugal pump, lifting mud from coves and spreading it on marshy heads. He argues Dorchester and Caroline counties could yield thousands of fertile acres at low cost, using tidal lands for year round cultivation. The process could create rich soil by Chesapeake Bay drainage, described as a great river valley, with marshlands lasting forever. Senator Smith and Congressman Covington support developing these tidal lands amid limited prior efforts.
