Everglades Drainage Turns Marsh Into Gold Riches
Florida reaps gold from Everglades drainage as land once covered with saw grass and muck becomes valuable at 500 to 1100 dollars per acre. The Everglades project, directed by Fred C. Biot since 1913, has opened vast tracts for farming, with hundreds of miles of drainage canals built and taxes levied to fund the work.
