TRANSPORTATION.
This part OF my subject is of very
great Importance No matter how
fine location may be in every other
respect if it lacks this essential re-
quisite, the settler will in all prob.
ability fail A good road in this
country is rare indeed, for although
the country is a level one a fair road
is by no means difficult to construct
here, yet very bad Ole is very easy
of attainmeht and almost everybody
gets along here as easily as they pos
Sibly can. Ii tree falls we. drive
around it, for it is much easier to do
so than to cut i out; and if bay
lies in our line 81 march we 60

serious for it may take us mile or
two out of onr way and OF course m
wolves the expenditure Of a CORES
ponding amount OF time, motive
power, wear and tear. ETC., but then
it is so much easier and we do not
take into consideration that a good
load always enhances the value OF
adjoining property, in many cases
making property very valuable that
without the facilities OF a good high
way would be worthless. The reader
must not judge from all this that we
have no road laws; we have a very
good one, almost too good. Our law
makes it incumbent on each able
bodied citizen to labor on the high
way eight days in the year. This
law seems TO me exorbitant, but it is,
l believe, hardly ever enforced. II
would, l think, be much better to cut
down the tax one-halt' and make it
optional with the citizens whether he
worked four days OF ten hours each,
or paid tour dollars into the treasury
as road tax and then enforce the law.
The reader will infer from all this
that our roads are not good. They
are rough ana muddy in wet weather
over the fat-woods,and quite "heavy''
-sandy-on the high pine land
where much travelled, particularly
in dry weather. The orange is heavy
and quite easily damaged by rough
handling. The jolting over a. rough
road often damages fine fruit very
seriously and not only this but let
us look at the cost. An orange tree
at twelve years old will, if well cared
tor, bear from l,2OU TO 1,50O oranges,
but as We are strictly conservative
we will say 1000. Say the grove
contains SUI such trees-iust nice
little grove-thls would give us 500,
600 oranges. A good average or
ange will pack about eight boxes tc
the 1000 or 4,O0O. Now for conven
ience we will cali those boxes 1OO
pounds each. (they are really over
ninety pounds) and We have 200 tons
of oranges from this one httIe grove
Suppose this grove was ten mile.
from transportation. One thousand
pounds is fair load tor team in
this country and our ten miles would
be AN average trip, gong aud coming
this rate would give US 400 loads ol
oranges, but if you think this load toe
light tor the time taken we will
J double them and it will still take
