PLENTY OFLAND
IS AVAILABLE FOR
SOLDIER COLONIES

WASHINGTON, D. Cooper
tunities for the reclamation of land
in the south are SO extensive that
H. T. Cory, consulting engineer of
the United States reclamation serv-
ice, has reported to Secretary of the
Interior Lane that the real frontier
in America is in the Atlantic and
Gulf coastal plain The investiga-
ton which drew forth Mr.. Cory's
conclusion was made in connection
with the plans for furnishing Ameri-
can soldiers with land tracts and
permanent homes.
"The problem is not in finding
project Sites" Mr.. Cory finds, "but
in selecting the best Of many" In
a general analysis, he found the gov
eminent could obtain land in large
areas for prices ranging from SIS to
SIS an acre, and reclaim it at cost
which would make it's total value
when drained, cleared and opened by
roads, range from $500 to $125 per
acre.
The creation of soldier colonies on
the land, according to the report
would be the most effective method
of getting the land utilized and CIV
ing the soldiers proper opportunities
as we'll Mr.. Cory expressed belief
that the larger projects would be
the more successful in that the work
could be done more cheaply, and
the resulting settlements would have
greater social advantages.
Listing possible sites for reclama-
ton work, Mr.. Cory says that Florida
has the largest, the Everglades ter
ritory with 100000 acres being
available. In North Carolina, five
meritorious projects have been ex-
amined including nearly 100000
acres of land. and in South Carolina
four. In Georgia, the report classi-
fies the Swanee project in Clinch,
Ware and Coffee counties as capable
of providing 100000 acres of tillable
land for an expenditure Of 100000
900. The projects in Mississippi
! three in the alluvial area of Arkansas
| and six in the coastal plain sector
of the state have been reported upon,
as we'll as three in Texas. In Ten
| nessee, the report finds the Maryland
project on the Cumberland plateau
suitable for investigation.
Two projects are mentioned in
Louisiana, one near Lake Charles and
the other near Hammond. The Brew
ton project is the only one dealt
with in Alabama.
