73 Two pictures that tell a story of swamp grass damming up a stream, which backs up and floods a field, ruining the hay, or corn or any other crop which may happen to be there. To dig out by hand or plow out such a clogged stream-bed is difficult and expensive, but to blast it out is the work of one man for an hour or so, at a comparatively small cost. (Mud Lick Farm, Julian, Center Co., Pa.) 74 Winding streams cut up and waste much land. They change their courses every year or so, tear away t...he banks at the curves, gouge out deep holes and build up sand bars. They occupy many times the area they would if straight, and practically ruin the soil which is worked over by the water. (Mud Lick Farm, Julian, Center Co., Pa.) There is another feature of the matter that ordinarily is overlooked. This is the black eye which the farm is given by a ragged-looking piece of swamp land touching the clean acres. Whether the farm is on the market or is to be kept as a home, the waste lands cut down its value and damage its reputation among all who see it, including the stranger passing by, the neighbors over the fences and the man who lives on it.
