Columbus Enquirer-Son.
It has been predicted atony tM$
that In the ^ourse of the' yearn the
most fertile section of'Georgia will
be that vast area, now fco desolate,
comprised In the name Okefenokee
Swamp apd plans that are at pres
ent maturing will hasten the day
when all that rich territory will have
been reclaimed,
Spednlng the week} In southeast
Georgia, representing a northern com
pany which has extensive holdings In
the swamp, are men from Pennsylvan
ia, Wisconsin and Michigan, the ob
ject of their trip being a general In
vestigation of the situation with a
view of deciding upon the location
for a great saw mill or perhaps aer
ies of mills which it Is proposed to
established. The company In question
which has its headquarters at Scran
ton* Pa., Isaccredlted with uwniug
297,000. acres of land In the Okefe
nokee swamp, and is now planning
o get timber out of the swamp and
reduce It to lumber. The building
of many miles of tramroads will be
part of the enterprise.
Of course getting the timber out
will not be, in itself, the reclamation
of the great Georgia swamp, but it
will be a step Jn that direction. In
the draining of that big area engin
eering problems are Involved. In ad
dition to the ever-present financial
question, but It Is not unreasonable
predict that it will not b^ many
■»re 'ears before the plcw will be
iklins the soil that now forms the
bottom of this great mornss. The
crop lossibility of that section when
once it has been drained, are really
fascinating.
It may seem very dreary and un
prepossessing and matted-of-fact to
thoFo who see the great swamp day
by day, but to the average Georgian,
especially the resident of the hill-
country, there is an element of ro
mance and mystery mingled with the
very name of Okefenokee. The name
Is, as can be seen, an Indian one, and
although not so widely known as the
Everglades in Florida, which proved
such a safe retreat for the Seminole
Indians for so many years, It is a
locality that is widely known and as
a swamp probably outranks the cele-
rated Dismal swamp in Virginia—
if rivalry as to extent of marsh and
desolation Is permissible.
The Okefenokee swamp takes up
about half of two large Georgia coun
ties, and It Is not a strech of the ima
gination to see that when the great
waste has been reclaimed It will add
greatly to the agricultural wealth of
that section of south Georgia.
