Southeast Section
Is Self-Supporting
SAVANNAH, Ga.—The Southeast
is the only sector of the United States
whose agricultural diversities, cli
mate and mineral resources are suf
ficient to make it pholly self-support
ing from the raw material standpoint,
Georgia Geologist Garland Peyton de
clared.
Mr. Peyton addressed a meeting of
industrial, agricultural and immigra
tion agents of the railroads of the
Southeast. He listed recent resources
developments in this region by states,
including:
Alabama—Deepening the channel
of the upper Warrior River, facilitat
ing shipment of high grade steam coal
south of this river; notable increases
in production of iron and steel
Arkansas—Finding of deep-oil pro
ducing horizons in southern Arkan
sas, resulting in discovery of five new
oil fields since April, 1937. Increased
asphalt production.
Georgia—Erection of two new kao
lin processing-refining plants near
Sandersville and Macon, establishment
of mineral industries plants at Sa
vannah, “encouraging” showings of
oil in test wells in southeast Geor
gia, and new discovery of gold at Dah
lonega.
Florida—New dolomitic limestone
quarries opened in several counties.
Louisiana—lncreased limerock pro
duction, and erection of natural gas
plant with daily capacity of 10,090,000
cubic feet in the English Bayou oil
field in 1937.
Tennessee—Extensive quarrying of
brown rock phosphate deposits, start
ing of two rock wool plants and op
eration of electrolytic manganese pro
duction plant.
Mr. Peyton emphasized that of the
11 minerals classified as strategic
war materials, the South produced
five, and of 24 critical minerals, the
South produced 14.
