Here may the devotee of every branch and class of agri- culture find profitable field of op- eration. Not alone to the produc- tion of any one farm product is our soil adapted. Not only and alone may the great staple of the South be grown, but the golden grain, the valuable grasses, and the luscious fruits, all yield a profitable return to the industri- ous husbandman.
