The orange, the grape fruit, the lemon and other fruits of like nature thrive wonderfully well and hundreds of acres are being planted. It has been fully demonstrated that these fruits will do as well here as in middle Flor ida.
 I gathered delicious oranges from a number of orchards in the Perdido and Magnolia Springs region last week. The crop will remain on the trees till the middle of January.
 The strawberry crop begins to ma trre about the middle of December and continues up into March and April.
 The industrious farmer in this won- derful section has fresh fruits and veg etables from his garden and orchard every month in the year.
 He has them not only for his own table but for the market. Irish and sweet potatoes are most prolific. Two and three crops can be grown during a single season. The average yield of sweet potatoes Is from 300 to 400 bushels to the acre. Much larger yields are often reported.

DEVELOPMENT IN
 BALDWIN COUNTY Cut-Over Lands Being Taken By Good Farmers FROM THE NORTHWEST Men of Training and Intelligence Are swnrming Into the Southern Coun- try of Promise-Mcthod

FROM THE NORTHWEST
BY WALTER HARPER

Baldwin county is larger than the state of Rhode Island and almost as large as Delaware.
 The government soil survey which Is now about ready for publication will
 show most wonderful variety or soli formations.
 Expert test has demonstrated that
 wonderful variety of products may be grown successfully on these soils All vegetation common to the semi tronics can be grown and most sue cessfully.
 There is so much that might be said
 of Baldwin, the most rapidly develop ing agricultural county of Alabama that it is hard to decide where to be- gin. Without exaggeration 1t prom ises to become the most important fruit and vegetable growing section Tn the United States, southern Calliorhia not excepted. The possibilities are i'm
 measurable.
 There are lands even in Alabama that may be naturally more fertile put in Baldwin county there Is such nap pv combination of natural climatic ana other advantages that make this the most promising section in the state. North Baldwin is finely adapted 10 the growing of cotton, corn, small grain and other heavy crops while m the southern peninsula the seml-trop-
 ical fruits and all varieties of vege- ia bles grow In abundance and with but
 little cultivation. All the lands Tn Baldwin county respond wonderfuIly to the application of fertilizers and Ter tilizers are needed to get the maximum of return from any of the lands. But every ton of fertilizer used insures a profitable return for the expense 1n- cured.
 The velvet bean, cowpea and other luguminous, soil-enriching plants grow luxuriously.
 The southern half of Baldwin coun- tv is protected on three sides by the gulf and the two bays on the west and east sides This affords exceptional protection to plant life and gives tone to the climate athat is unsurpassed in the southern country.
 The summers are cool and pleasant and the winters are short and never severe.

The average yield of corn with proper cultivation is from 50 >to 60 bushels. One farmer near Foley gath cred 136 bushels from one acre this year.
 Bay Minette, the county seat of Bald win county is a young town on the
 main line of the Louisville and Nash :
 vile railroad and at the junction of
 the branch line of the same system
 running directly south through the
 county as far as Foley. This line is
 to be extended shortly to the southern
 tip of the county at Fort Morgan. l. Three years ago about the time
 that 1t was discovered that Baldwin
 county could be made to develop into
 one of the most productive agricul-
 tural counties of the state, Bay Minette
 began to grow. Modern houses were constructed, streets laid out and large public improvements begun. Tho growth Is rapid. The present population is
 something like 300 and it is predicted
 that this will be more than doabled in the next few years
 Most of the development at Bay Min ette and immediate community has been under the supervision of a corporation which purchased from the retiring timber interests $500 acres of cut-over land. This concern is clearing the land, pulling the stumps and putting it in tillable shape.
 The land is being sold or rented to a good class of farmers from the north and west who are making wonderful progress in demonstrating what may be done with improved methods of cultiva- tion.
 The company Is doing no advertising and is really not pushing the sale of the | land.
 we know the value of this land and are willing to improve and hold it until | it is called for by the best farmers from any section of American who may come seeking homes,'' said Hampton D. Ewing president of the improvement company

 to s125 per acre and those who have pur. chased farms here and have been or them long enough to demonstrate theil | val,1e are satisfied. doubt if any o1 these farms could be bought today fol lanything like the price originally paid for them.'
