DRAINING THE
EVERGLADES
Something About the Great
Work Undertaken by
the State of Florida.

The land known as the Florida
Everglades has been of historical in
terest since the seven year Seminole
Indian war, which ended in 1912, dur
ing which time a meager knowledge
of that peculiar area was obtained
and later published in various brief
reports. says the Scientific American.
Its reclamation for farming purposes
has been generally regarded as imDoss
sible, or at least so visionary as to
merit no attention until recently. The
preliminary work for its drainage,
inaugurated by the state in 1906, is
sharply criticized in many quarters
and bitterly opposed in others. There
Is no question but this area occupies
q most unique position among the
various drainage projects now re-
ceiving attention In various parts OF
the country. 1t Is a swamp plain ex.
tending from the south shore of Lake
Okeechobee to the south boundary OF
the state, 5000 square miles in ex-
tent. and covered with saw trees OF
extraordinary height. relieved by
scattered hillocks which are covered
with pine, palmetto and various SUBJ
tropical bushes. This plain is cover.
ed with water TO various depths dur
ing the entire year.
Whenever the question OF the agri-
cultural possibilities of the Ever
glades is raised, several problems pre-
sent themselves for solution. One is
the removal of the excess of water,
which makes this the largest swamp
area of the country. Not only is there
an annual rainfall of so inches to be
considered. but wafer is also contrib
uted by the overflow OF Lake Okee-
chobee, which receives the drainage
of not less than 5000 square miles
from the northern portion of the
state, and has only one small relief
