228 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT. 



Economic Features — This region is very thinly settled as yet, be- 

 cause its deep sandy soil does not invite extensive agricultural oper- 

 ations. The principal industry is converting the long-leaf pine into 

 lumber and naval stores, a good deal of which must have been 

 hauled to St. Andrew's Bay and shipped from there before the 

 present railroads were built. (Neither of them is more than ten 

 years old).
