now controls about 600 acres, about
half of which lies along the motor
road from Mandeville to Covington.
The rest lies between Covington and
Abita Springs.
From officials of the company it was
learned today that active operation of
the property is expected to be COM
menced by the first of next January.
BY that time from forty to fifty fami-
lies are expected to be settled on the
property, the plan being to form
through them cooperative COM
pany, so that the products of the
farms may be sold in bulk, thus Sc
curing advantageous transportation
rates. The company will sell to these
prospective settlers on a plan some
what after that of homesteads, on the
installment plan, if desired, in ten-acre
tracts, with or without improvements.
The manufacturing provided for in
the charter is to enable the company
to conduct canning factory for fruits
and vegetables, and one for syrup
from cane.
A feature of the new company's
business will be model experiment
farm, for proving what fruits and
vegetables may be raised in this part
Of the south, and also what sort of
cultivation will bring the best results.
An expert horticulturist has been en-
gagged to superintend the work. In
the farm there will be fifty acres.
Work on improving the property
will begin at once, and within the
next week or two offices will be estab-
lished in New Orleans which will be
the headquarters of the company.
