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. — — .—«!«■ ■ 0.
