Fruit Raising, Grape Growing and
General Farming all Done Success
fully-Some Interesting Expert
,nents.
One Of our principal objects of
interest hich attracts every sea-
son hundreds of visitors, is the
famous VanLindley Fruit Farm or
Orchards, owned by the j. Van
Lindlev Orchard Company and To-
Gated on the line of the Pinehurst
Electric Railway, about q miles
from Southern Pines. 1t EN- braces
an area of about 1900 acres, 475
of which are cleared and ready for
cultivation; of the latter, BIZ are
already under cultivation as fol-
lows: 10 acres in peach orch
ards, 60 acres in pear orchards, 70
acres in grape vineyards, S acres
in blackberry vines, 81 acres in
dewberry vines, 5 acres in plums
and 100 acres in field crops. The
peach orchards are planted with
the following varieties: 1000 trees,
Sneeds, $500 Triumphs, $500
Greensboro, 1000 Connects Early,
1859 Carmen, 2,44O Emma, 900
Haynes Surprise, 191 Alexander,
and 1853 Matthews Beauty.
These are al bearing and in adj
dition to this a newly planted Or
chard, set out in February of this
year, has $50 Lady Ingold, $50
Governor Briggs and 700 Albertas.
In the pear orchard are 5000 trees
all of the KeiAer variety. Tie pit m
orchards are planted as follows:
$50 Red June, 200 Abundance,
200 Burbank and 100 Willard. In
the vineyards are cultivated sever
al varieties Of grapes: Delaware.
Niagara, Concord. Moore's Fairly
and Champions. In addition to
the AZ acres devoted exclusively
to black and dewberrles, thousands
of vines are cultivated between
the rows in the peach and pear
orchards. The greater part of the
peach and pear trees are planted
II feet apart in north and south
rows 20 feet apart. By way of exper-
ment a small orchard was planted
two years ago with trees Is feet
apart north and south and 16 feet
east and west. This latter dis
lance appears to have proved am
ply sufficient both for sunlight and
nourishment and will probably be
followed in future planting.
It has also been found both ex
pedient and profitable to dig up
and destroy old trees after they

plant anew, as the quantity and

ground and allowing new cane
to grow from this stump. By this
means only one years crop is miss
ed and the bearing quality is equal
in every way to an entirely new
vine which would take two years
to reach bearing age. The success
Of the farm is due largely to judi
cious experimenting which is car
ried on both in the orchards and
vineyards and more particularly in
the experiment garden, covering
about two acres, in which are now
growing about $50 trees Of differ
ent varieties of peaches, plums,
cherries, apricots, almonds and
pears, as we'll as several varieties
of berries and field crops. AS a
result of satisfactory experiments
a small orchard of Mccullough
winter apples was set out two
years ago with excellent results,
and large acreage devoted to pea
vine hay and other field crops.
Last year enough pea-vlne hay
was raised to feed the stock on
the farm the year through and adj

market. Mr.. Caviness is an en-
thusiastic farmer and will doubt
less do more, as he has already
done much, to demonstrate the
practica 5ility Of general farming
in this section of the state.
During the season last year this
farm afforded employment daily
to between Is and 90 pickers, and
u to Is packers. Over 1000
crates of fruit were shipped, all in
packages made by l. f. Chandler

way, passing through the farm,
affords opportunity either for load
ing refrigerator cars on the ground
or transferring on Pinehurst bag
gage or freight cars to the Sea-
board Air Line at Southern Pines.
Both of these means have been
tried but Mr.. Caviness says that
transferring by wagon is cheapest
and most satisfa( tory. Edgerton
who had the contract for
this work last season, have been
re-engaged for the coming one.
