state.
"The largest individual area of swamp
land in the state, and one of the most ex-
tensive fresh water swamps in the world,
is the Okefenoke swamp, which COM
prises an area OF about $4,000 acres. A
large part Of this swamp originally be-
longed to the state. but it was sold by
an act Of the legislature in 1880 to a
private corporation for 26 IL cents per
acre.
Some idea may be had of the extent
OF the states swamp and overflow lands
when it is stated that if all of the swamp
and overflow lands of Georgia were drain
ed and properly cultivated it would be
possible for these lands to support a
greater than half Of the state 5

three months was devoted TO Held work
in Calhoun. Dougherty and Baker coun-

GOVERNMENT AT WORK
I'm addition to the drainage investiga-
lions above referred to. the federal gov
eminent. under the direction of the Of
fee of experiment stations, has done
considerable preliminary work in south
Georgia investigating the swamp and
overflow lands
These preliminary surveys. made IN
the last two years, cover all, or parts,
of the following counties: Chatham.
Bryan. Liberty, Mcintosh. Glynn, Chnch,
Echols and Jackson. The reports on
these several counties show very
large acreage of swamp and overflow
lands of high fertility which can be re-
claimed at a comparative small cost.
TT might be Of interest to the board
to know that Georgia has a greater ex-

any OF the Atlantic sea-board states,
with the exception OF Florida.
