Book excerpt: Excerpt from Factors and Problems in the Selection of Peat Lands for Different Uses It is estimated that approximately of the acres of wet land in the United States are of potential economic importance.1 The question whether the utilization of these peat lands is economically practicable is of special interest in the States bordering the Great Lakes and those on the Gulf Coastal Plain, and the rest of the country, concerned with the growing needs of a grow ing population, is showing an increasing interest in the problem. For an economically sound solution of the problem, agriculture and other industry must have a fuller knowledge of the nature of the peat lands and must deal with them according to that knowledge. It is essential that the problem be seen as a Whole, or at least broadly, so that the relationship among the various conditions and factors which must be coordinated and controlled in the future utilization of the peat lands may be understood.
