CULTIVATE FRUTT.-The South, with all
her natural advantages, is far behind the
East, North or West in the cultivation Of
fruit. Our soil and climate are peculiarly
adapted to the growth of fruit in the high

too much neglected. Absorbed in cotton
we lose sight Of other clements Of wealth
which our superior soil 50 readily yields. It
has been demonstrated that judiCious cul-

peHse and labor is far less. owing 10 su-
perior qualities Of soil and climate, the
South can turn this element Of prosperity
to greater advantage than any other section
of the country. Here we need not neglect
other crops 70 raise fruit Of every variety

When we consider the fact
