The Peat Deposits.
Although the swamp contains vast
quantity of peat that is valuable for
fuel or fertilizer, little has been done
to use it commercially. In the drained
and large tracts OF peat land are used
for the cultivation of corn, wheat and
potatoes.
Peat represents the first stage in the
formation Of coal 1t has been shown
that deposits essentially similar to
those of the Dismal swamp We're laid
down in many parts Of the United
States during the carboniferous period
and were deeply buried beneath meds,
sands, limy material and other sedi-
ments and subjected to pressure with
varying degrees Of heat. Ignite, BIZ
luminous coal and anthracite represent
the succeeding stages. Although peat
is not widely used in the United States
for fuel, il has been produced In Ire
land since the traditional time when
that country was deforested, and the
peat fire on the hearth, like the jaunt-
ing car, typifies Irish environment,
As peat deposits like those laid down
in the Dismal swamp have played a
prominent part in the formation of our
coal and as the Dismal swamp peat is
valuable for fuel and fertilizer, q re-
port describing it should be Of special
interest. Such a report, prepared by
G. G. Osbon, has just been issued by
