History Of Maine
Peat Outlined by
GeQlORist Burr

Peat the State possesses, How did
Of wealth? Whence came the beds
so lavishly strewn throughout the
greater portion of the State?
Geologist Freeman +. Burr Of Au-
gusta has answered few of these
natural queries in the following ex-
tract from an article originally
planned for magazine publication.
THE history of peat deposit is,
In general not difficult, to compre-
bend. One may form a fairly just
idea from the study of a bog in
mature state of development; but,
better still, it is possible to find, fire.
quently within conveniently small
area, bogs which are in all stages of
development and SO piece together
the history. stage by stage, until the
story is complete.
Perhaps the greater number have
started as small ponds, so situated
that the inlet waters have been able
to bring in only the finest silt. On
the surface of such a pond, with the
roots deep in the bottom mud, grow
pond lilies and other water plants;
and around the margin spring up
cat-tail, marsh grasses, pickerel
plants which like best to stand with
their feet in quiet water. AS these
plants die, leaves. stems and bios
SONS sink to the bottom and grad
ually form layer of vegetable mat
ter above the mud. Near the shallow
margin this accumulation soon rises
close to the surface and upon it the
water loving peat moses take root.
These peat MOSES grow continu-
ously, sometimes attaining the length
of foot or more. and as the lower
parts die they form thick, closely
woven mat, which in no long time
becomes firm enough to afford a
foothold to low Towering plants,
shrubs and even trees. Frequently.
perhaps usually the MOSES with
their burden of other plants, will eX-
tend to some distance out over the
open water thus forming 4 crust;
this is the secret of the 'quaking bog
"Gradually the plant growth pro-
crosses outward toward the center of
the pond: the apacs of oren water
contracts more and more; the dead
| parts of the plant form deeper and
| deeper deposit on the bottom; and
at last what was once q pond has be
/ come q solid accumulation of spongy.
wet vegetable matter Finally this
| last becomes, largely through the ac-
| ton OF bacteria which are peculiar to
such situations. more or less homo
geneous mass of black or dark brown
peat. This, briefly told. is the history
Of most of our Maine peat deposits.
Occasionally one is found which
plainly accumulated in a swamp
rather than in an open pond; and on
some of our mountain tops, as on tie
/ Katahdin plateau, shallow peat beds
! have formed with no other encour-
! agcment than that afforded by con-
| tinuously cool, moist atmosphere"

The biggest social affair Of the
summer season each year is the cab

to the lack Of room, only club men,

it is expected that a number Of visit
