FLORIDA’S CANAL TO [ JOIN GULF AND SEA ! / Mother .Nature Hat Made Work an Easy Task. , Washington.—Steam-...-dhovels are chugging where .helme^d Spaniards once pushed through silent, tangled Jungles In search of th^ Fountain of Youth and tall masts eventually may mingle with fhe tall plne| in Florida’s northern forests; for the new ship ca nal there has been begun. “If the canal Is completed as planned, squat freighters, proud pas senger liners, and even grim war craft from the seven seaa will steam through ^Inland waters op which In bygone days keen-eyed Indians and gold-erazed white men paddled primitive canoes," says the' National Geographic society. “Churning engines and deep-throated whistles will break the silence in quiet bayous where once only the occasional splash of an alligator or the brilliant flight/of a flamingo colony disturbed the solitude. / “Furnishing'a convenient short cut for vessels between the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, the canal is designed to utilize the channels of three picturesque Florida rivers—the St. Johns, the Ocklawaha and the WithladOochee. Therefore, although the trans-peninsular Waterway will* be nearly. 200 miles long, less than half its length will have to be dug by hu man agencies. Mother nature, the great engineer, already has excavated a large proportion herself. Boats have plied for many years on all three riv ers, and the canal simply will connect and deepen them. To Be 8ea.-l.evel Route. “Like the 100-mile waterway at Suez, the Florida canal will be a sea-level route, with none of the huge locks and mountain-slicing ‘cuts’ necessary at Panama. Canal building is compara tively easy in Florida, for the highest point in the peninsula is less than two-- thirds the .height o^ Jhe Washington monument,, and most ( of the state is only a few -fpet above the ocean. “From the Atlantic, ships will enter the canal at bustling, versatile Jack sonville, whose exports range from pine boards to ground oyster shells, the latter to aid chickens’ digestions! Jacksonville, only 25 .miles from Flor ida’s northern border, ‘is the state’s largest city, its industrial center, and a leading lumber shipping point. “Through this city, the gatewy to Florida’s vast winter playground, a huge traffic rolls down to Miami beach on the east and St. Petersburg on the west coasts, and to other southern re sorts when winter’s first chills appear ‘up North.*' In some years this ‘sun- worshiper’ travel has Reached as high as a motor car a minute. ' ’’ "From Jacksonville south, ocean vessels already navigate 04 miles of what is planned to be part of the canal route. This is the St Johns river, which strangely enough In so flat a region, flows due «orth 125 miles before reaching the sea. “A sluggish stream—It drops only 70 feet in 100 miles—the St. Johns carries a large water-borne commerce to Jacksonville. “Palatka, busy little shipping cen ter on the upper St. Johns, is now the head of navigation for* ocean vessels. Palatka’s lumber plies, seen from the air, resemble a city in themselves, and the city boasts what is believed to he the only camphor plantation i« the United States. Farther up stream, near Welaka, the new canal will turn southwestward along the narrow, winding course of the Ockla waha river, a tributary of the Eh Johns. Through Pino Forests. “Much of the country through which the canal will pass consists of pine forests, many already cut over, for lumbering is a leading Florida indus try. “Leaving the Ocklawaha, the canal will cut across to the'Withlacoochee, ‘Little Big River’ of the Indians, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Navi gable now for 00 miles by boats of shallow draft, the Withlacoochee car ries cargoes of fish, oysters, farm pro duce and lumber down to the sea. "Happy days may be In store again for Port Inglis, at the Wlthlacoochee’a mouth, scheduled to be the canal’s Gulf terminus. Port Inglis prospered In ‘past days when large cargoes of phosphate rock moved down the With- lacooehee, but la late years the rock has. beea^Jargely shipped East by rail, and the town has declined."

The following editorial from The News ancl Courier, November? 14, 1935, is gelf-explanatory: They Live at Home*' Mr. and Mrs. W. J. DuBose have been producing their stuffg these 47 years.. They live near Lydia. They buy no lard, no pork, no milk, no eggs, no honey, no potatoes, no corn no canef* They are thrifty with the cash taken in from surplus products. - The DuBoses devote two-thirds of their fields to food crops. The family and the tenants are supplied from one year’s end to the other. Feed is pro duced 1 for all the animals on the farm. No Western hay, no, Western oats, no Western corn, are brought to the Du Bose place.* ' * , Some stuffs, of course, the DuBose s cannot produce on their own land and these things they buy, but the land is made to yield all the stuffs of which it is capable—and the range is wide. The DuBoses strive to be as self-sus taining as prcticble. \\ Farmers of this type enrich Sou^h Carolina. They add to its wealth. They ar^ building up their own neigh borhood, net contributing to neigh borhoods hundreds of miles away. They understand that migrating dol lars impoverish a people. * The pity of it is that the DuBoses are not numerous enough in South Carolina. N they were, government would not have been bringing ‘gifts’’ of eggs, butter and other stuffs which ought to be produced at home. It is because thertaverage South Carolina farmer has not fed himself and his family ’that his plight became des perate. '• If South Carolina farmers would “live at home” and their town neigh bors would buy South Carolina, the condition of this State, the poorest in the South, would 1 be notably im proved. South Carolina’s wholesale purchases in other sections are a severe strain upon the resources of its people. - • What the DuBoses have done and are doing can be done by all intelli gent.
