MENT OF FLORIDA SAYS
STATE CHEMIST ROSE.

I. The Post Is in receipt Of q commun-
ication from State Chemist Rose, Of
Tallahassee, pertaining to an article
under date Of July 25th, headed Fed
eral Officers Not Enthusiastic Over
Cross State Canal" In connection
with this matter State Chemist Rose
has the following to say:
Il am not surprised at the attitude
Of the federal engineers in reference
to any local improvements or devel-
opments. Unfortunately this Is the
general attitude Of federal officials In
reference to development Of agricul-
tural and other industries throughout
this and other states, particularly
Southern states. This position--as-
sumed by national bureaus, or at least
by the officers thereof--is very similar
to that assumed by the U. s. Bureau
of Soils in reference to developments
by individuals or state Of natural re-
sources as is we'll illustrated by the
Soil Survey Of the Fort Lauderdale
Area" The lack. of vision on the
part of these purely technical bureaus
is simply stupendous,
"Had 1t not been for the prophetic
vision of such men as Hamilton Diss-
ton, Henry M Flagler and H. p. Plant,

In reference to this cross-state ca
nal, which is now being built, not by
the state of Florida but by the peo-
pie owning the lands in the Ever
glades district, who are themselves
paying for the work Of reclamation:
II have long contended that such q
cross-state canal in conjunction with
the Everglades drainage system was
a national necessity, and that its val
ue would soon be discovered not only
by the people of the district but by
the state and national governments;
and that tide level ship canal would
be constructed in the comparatively
near future from the Atlantic ocean to
the Gulf of Mexico, along the course
of the st. Lucie canal, Lake Okeecho-
bee and the Caloosahatchee river
connecting the waters of the Atlantic
ocean and the Gulf of Mexico; and
that in addition to shortening the dis
tance between Atlantic and gulf ports
and the Panama canal by some 100
miles, that this tide level Canal
without locks, would reclaim territory
of wonderful fertility and productive
ness.
