FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

With the construction of good
roads in the Third Supervisors
district the possibilities of an
extensive business in horticul-
ture, berries and melons is pre-
scented. The section east of us
with its elevations offers splenz
did opportunity for early cab
bage, peas, beans and berries,
and the whole country does not
furnish a finer melon crop than
comes from this territory. The
growth of melons by the few
who plant them has almost
reached perfection and the melon
that has made southern Georgia
independently rich does not com.
pare with the East Side melon of
Lee county. These melon grow
ers have never planted a ship
ping melon as they have been
taxed to supply the local mar
kets. The profits, we have been
told, are from one to two hum
dred dollars per acre. If the
farmers in this melon section
could be induced to plant in
sufficient quantities, one season
to insure car load shipments, we
feel certain that they would find
it equally as profitable, or more
than raising melons for the
market.
The territory along the good
road between Tupelo and Belden
should be cut up in small tracts
and sold to people who will con-
vert it into truck farms.
The clay subsoil furnishes ad-
mirable soil for strawberries and
tomatoes and with the great
North and West of us
that can be reached in less than
twelve hours, these products can
be placed in the homes of the
consumers in a fresh condition.
The territory South of US on
the Illinois Central road around
Crystal Springs and Hazelhurst
has grown Independent handling
tomatoes, cabbage and berries,
and while they can get into the
market a week or ten days
earlier than we can, yet, we
would get there ahead of our
northern neighbors and COM
mand better prices than the
growers of Tennessee, Kentucky
and Illinois receive.
Our Business Mems club should
press this matter before our
farmers and induce many of
them to engage in horticulture.
