Mr. W. L. Larkin,
 Chairman, Program Committee,
 Official Opening Everglades Canals,
 Miami, Fla.
Dear Sir:
 A trip through the Florida Everglades such as I have
made will certainly dispel from the mind of anyone any
question as to either the feasibility of the drainage
project now being completed or the wonderful fertility of
the land that is being reclaimed.
 Within a few short years this country will, I believe,
exceed in value any similar area in any state in the Union.
 Yours very truly,
 JOHN B. GAIRING,
 Editorial Dept.
