To Reclaim the Everglades.
After many years of discussion with.
out any real action the state of Flor
ida has at last commenced the work
Of draining the great submerged tract
known as the Everglades. This is to
be done by cutting a series Of canals
leading into rivers on both the gulf
and Atlantic slopes. The section to
be drained comprises about 100000
acres, upon which there is very little
timber or brush; consequently the
work of reclamation will be compare
lively easy, and it is expected to have
several thousand acres ready for cul-
tivation and settlement by December
of this year. Owing to the latitude
and the great richness of the soil, this
land will be of great value when thor
oughly drained. It is estimated that
100000 acres of this land could pro.
duce the 2,25O,OOO tons of sugar now
annually imported by the United
States. 1t will also be admirably
adapted to the cultivation of rice.
