age. He has probably made more
money from peaches than any one man
of this section.
The peach industry has brought
about the establishment of several can
ming factories and an immense crate
and basket factory-the latter
runs the year round and employees
regularly from $50 to 300 hands. It's
weekly pay roll adds hundreds and
frequently several thousand dollars to
the value of business done by our mer-
chans.
OF course, there are a few instances
where the planting of an orchard has
proven a failure; in every case. how
ever, the failure to succeed was caused
by either the stupidity or negligence
of the grower. A fact clearly dem
onstrated and we'll worth remembering
is that an orchard requires much
study. fertilization and intelligent cul-
tivation each year.
The fruit tree enemy most dreaded
by orchardists is the pestiferous San
Jose scale. which for a time threat
ened to so blight the orchards as to
discourage the growers and make
them abandon their efforts. but by
never r-ceasing warfare of spraying,
under the instruction of the state en-
tomologist, its spread has been greatly
itLdIuCu anu ltlTOduS iillO new anu
heretofore unaffected orchards in many
instances prevented. But the scale is
still here. though it does not create
such CONSERVATION among the grow
ers as it did when first appearing.
A fact in favor of planting out an
orchard which addresses itself to those
who possess land or have money
awaiting profitable investment is that
with the experience of the past and
10 haf f,,t
quirements of trees, the people can
in a great measure assist nature in
bringing about a crop where a few
years ago there would have been al
most a total failure. By the light of
the past they are taught how and
where to plant trees in order to give
them the best protection from win
ter's rigidness; how to fertilize and
cultivate so as to make a more sturdy
tree a prolific yield.
In the section Immediately adjacent
to Fort Valley there are now more
than a million trees that will bear if
there is a crop this year During the
present winter a conservative estimate
places the number of young trees
planted out since last years crop at
$50 000
The present condition of the orchards,
taking them as a whole, is all that the
owners could desire; the trees are
healthy looking. we'll fertilized, prop
erly trimmed and in good shape to bear
the weight of a heavy crop.
The prospect for a crop is encourag-
ing in the extreme. The severeness of
the present winter has prevented the
sap from rising, thus keping the buds
dormant and impregnable to the cold.
The continuation of the present favor
able weather condition gives assurance
of a crop which win. on account of the
many young orchards just reaching the
bearing age this season. exceed that of
any previous year by many thousand
crates. And a crop this year means
many hundred thousand dollars for
Fort Valley and vicinity. AS every in
dication is promising, a heavy yield is
confidently expected.

SUWANEE SPRING.

At Camden, N. j., they were discuss
ing the death of Hon. William ].
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DIR. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. It was
there that he contracted the pneu
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with
Thereupon DIR. w. H. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau of
Materia Medica, said:
THAT meets my argument for Su-
vance Springs. I published a good
word for them five years ago, and
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy Of
access, and the psychic influences of
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. My
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs
equal in every way to the most aristo-
cratic in Europe, need our apprecia-
ton, and they are getting it."

TRUCK EARNINGS GROWTH.
Large Farms i'm Counties Adjoining
Chatham.

Truck farming in South Georgia is
attracting wider attention now than
ever. Not only around Savannah, but
in the adjoining counties the truck
growing industry is being developed
on large scale. One of the most ex-
tensive farms in this section of the
state is that of Young & Mathis at
CFaxton. forty-eight miles from Sa-
vannah, on the Seaboard Air Line.
Messrs. Young & Mathis are New
York firm with farms at Claxton,
Ocala and Orange City, Fla, and in
Month Carolina, South Carolina and
Colorado, aggregating 1900 acres. They
grow asparagus, canteloupes and water
melons largely, and have been in the
business twelve years. Their Claxton
farm contains 800 acres of rich land
and is in charge of G. w. Ray as SUI
perintendent MIR. Ray has been twelve
years in the truck growing business in
several states. and he says the lands
of Tatnall, Bryian and Bullock coun-
ties are as fine as he has ever seen.
His firm does not buy its farm lands,
but rents from land owners. This,
Mr. Ray says. is on account of the
fact that but one crop of melons can
be made to pay in ten years. Cante-
lowed every year by a hay crop and
the hand i'm that way is enriched and
kept productive. The owners of the
land near Claxton are paid SO per acre
by the year.
Mr.. Ray, who has grown tobacco
successfully further North, believes
that the lands in this section are capa-
bic of producing a good grade of bright
plug tobacco.
With no setback Mr. Ray expects
to grow forty-five carloads of ship
ping melons. weighing not less than
twenty pounds each, and seventy-five
carloads of cantaloupes. After the
melon and canteloupe crop peas are
sown and between three hundred and
four hundred tons of hay are also
raised.
The average purchase price of lands,
per acre, in the vincity of Claxton is
$40. to SIS. With the rental that Young
& Mathis pay II can readily be seen
1 that the land is a good investment.

where they not only raise the seed for
their own use. but have a large seed

HAD EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
Pleasure Trap Smashed at Augusta
but No One Badly Hurt.

Augusta, Feb. 23.-The occupants of
a crowded electric car had an exciting
episode this afternoon. Just as the car
was turning the curve in front of the
Bon Air Hotel in Summerville it came
alongside of a double-seated two-horse
drag, in which Mr.. j. Slidell Nixon
was driving with his family. There
were besides Mr.. Nixon, two ladies and
two children in the trap. The horses
became frightened at the car and as
they plunged to one side broke loose
one of the breast straps, allowing the
pole to swing against their legs. A
serious accident was imminent. Men
sprang from the car to seize the
horses, and ladies on board the car
screamed as the horses swung short
round, overturning the trap, smashing
the vehicle on top. Men from the cleo
trio car quickly righted the vehicle and
picked up the women and children, and
strangely enough, not one was serious
ly hurt.
