TO DRAIN THE oKEFINOKEE.
a Canal Six Miles Long to be Con
StruCted.
From the Atlanta (Ga) Journal.


5tructed.
From, the Atlanta (Ga) Journal.
On Feb l., 1892, the waters of the O9ei-
mckee swamp will be flowing into the St.
Mary's river What this means for the
commerce Of Georgia cannot be estimated.
Capt. Harry jackson has just returned
from the great swamp. He states that the
contract for the construction of a canal
from the east margin of the swamp TO the
St. Mary's river has been let TO Brooks
Bros. & Co., contractors. OF Pike county,
who have been lately engaged by the Sub
urban Land Company Of Atlanta.
The contractors left Friday night with
their teams, instruments, etc. This means
that work will commence at once. Within
a week there will be hundred hands and a.
hundred mules at work on the canal. The
canal will be six miles lolg and constructed
so as to be used hereafter as a means of
transporting the timber from the swamp.
SECURING THE RIGHT OF WAY.
1--WE had no trouble" said Capt jackson
''in securing a right of way for our canal.
The farmers were exceedingly liberal in
disposing of the matter, and donated to the
company a right of way 400 yards ia width,
extending the whole distance from the
swamp to the river. About 6, 200 acres of
the swamp ldHu. uelu ny NdIlOuS ReuLleiIou
under prior grants, have been decided to
the company for stock"
The people throughout the state are en-
thusiastic over the great enterprise. There
is no doubt that it will make Charlton.
Ware, Clinch and Pierce counties, through
which the swamp extends, among the most
productive counties in the state. Every
where the people are doing all in their
power to forward the enterprise.
The draining Of the swamp will open to
the commercial world the richest timber
land in Georgia. AS the swamp is gradu-
alIy drained the timber will be foated down
the canal. 1t is estimated that the canal
can remove 40 logs every hour. As soon
as a portion of the swamp is drained, and
the timber on it removed, a test will be
made TO determine the fitness of the land
for cultivation.
VENICE IN GEORGIA.
As the swamp is drained small canals will
be cut through it to concentrate the flow
of water. On the high and dry ground
the people who buy the laud will erect their
houses while they will travel about from
place to place in boats in the canals, 1t

1t is impossible to give any positive rules
as to the amount of seed per acre. What is
best varies with soil, time of sowing and
other circumstances. and is only deter
mined by experience. If we sow too much
the plants are crowded aud often fail to
produce anything. If too little there is not
full stand, but the yield is better than
from too heavy seeding. The right way is
to begin with light seeding and increase
until the amount giving the best yield is
reached.

THE GREAT POSSIBILITIES.

The gentlemen at the head OF the enter
prise are pushing the work all they can, and
the success of the enterprise, from financial
standpoint, is already assured.
The country about the swamp IS absolutely
healthy. Capt. Jackson has just spent a
week in the neighborhood. and returns as
much improved in health as IL he mad been
recuperating in the mountains OF North
Georgia.
In short while what was once q barren,
Improbable waste of land will be the
richest agricultural and timber land In the
south.
Around great saw-mills thriving villages
will spring into existence.
Moving about from field to field, where
grows the finest crops that ever hourlshed
on Georgia soil, in his canal boat, the happy
planter will bless the day that the wilder
ness has been turned into harvest field.

1t is so often necessary to work over
hours in pleasant weather than when a
rainy day comes in summer the farmer may
profitably devote it partly TO intellectual
Improvement. He can at least then take
time to estimate carefully what needs to be
done and plan as to the best way of doing
it. This will require study and prove the
least requires as much executive ability to
keep everything on large farm in order
and working smoothly as it does to man
age manufacturing or commercial BUSH
ness.

The best soil for growing celery is rich
black muck, with, if possiola, a little rotted
manure to give it more available nitro zen
than black muck usually possesses. The
soil should be kept moist. but free from
stagnant water, and therefore needs to be
drained deeply. Land fit for celery grow
ing will command good prices, for celery
when well grown is profitable crop. Any
farmer who has black muck swamp should
try celery on a small piece of it. If the
land is not at first fit for celery manure it
more and try again. New land may be
rich enough for other crops without ma
nure. but not for celery. which is heavy

killing Elk.

There il some difference OF opinion OK
isting in several parts of the state In regard
to the law protecting elk. secre-
tary Of State Rotwitt say the last terri
torial legislature made it unlawful to kill
them at any time. This was intended to
prevent their extinction. At the session of
the legislature last winter the law was
amended making it Unlawful to kill elk be-
tween Jan. 1t and Sept. Is Of the same year.
BY this it will be seen that elk may be
killed from Sept LIZ to lam LII. This provisions
Of the statute are mot, however, made to
apply to persons who have raised and owned
such animals.
