The article provides information regarding the predominance of swamps, marshes and bogs in Polesje and White Russia. According to the author, their predominance is accidental because this country is a low one with many rivers and is flooded in spring by the waters of rivers. He adds that it is therefore clear that in time the original marshes, swamps, bogs and extended alderwoods will disappear, it will give place to cornfields, meadows and pastures. In addition, as it was seen from the experiments of the Research Station in Sarny (Pruchnik, 1933) the Polesje soils can give big crops being drained and manure by nitrogenous, potassium and phosphorus manures.
