Orange Culture to Front in Louisiana

Orange culture is attracting con-
siderable attention In number of
the Florida parishes and marked sue
cess has crowned the efforts Of many
who have experimental in this par
ticular industry during the past few
years, Roseland, Amite, Hammond.
and Ponchatoula farmers have tried
their hand at orange culture In many
instances have reaped not only fne
harvests but much revenue. George
w. s. VanDyke, west Of Ponchatou-
la, has the largest orange grove, per-
haps, in Louisiana and he had for
several years received sufficient re-
venue to enable him to devote his
entire time to cultivation Of the
fruit. Many smaller groves are to be
found scattered at many points In
the parish.
o. c. Smell Of Hammond has been
interested in the cultivation of the
Satsuma for years and has made
success. R. Little. local banker. has
a splendid small grove at his home
here and cultivates to the extent that
he is able to supply many friends
with the fruit each season. The
frst shipment of oranges from Llv-
ingston parish was q few days ago
from the Bayou Pierre section Of the
third ward. Nine one-busheI vrates
totaled the shipment going to New
Orleans party. The price paid was
about 81 a crate. The fruit repre-
sented only part Of what two trees
yielded and several more are yet to
be gathered. About SO trees are
found in the Bayou Pierre section,
but the industry win expand from
now on. Many nurseries are dispos-
ing Of young trees now and within
a few years Tangipahoa parish will
be able to produce hundreds Of dol
lars to the growers as result OF
orange culture. Hammond vlndl-

party who will invest money in it, after they have investigated and con- firmed what is written here.
 Following the tactics of the h. dians, the lone traveller has lived on moose meat solely, but unlike the aborigines, he combined science with necessity, and from the moose he states that he has obtained all the food essentials required. Salts and carbohydrates were obtained by boil ing the bones in a certain manner, while from other portions of the animals beef extract was secured. The hide was cut into strips an inch wide and a foot long, which was roasted and from which the traveller obtained essential oils.
 On a diet of this description the engineer states that he is able to travel for eleven hours without feel ing the need for further food, while the Indians who do not use their meat scientifically must eat often and hence make slow progress.
 With him Perry carries a light canvas shelter, a large can in which he mixes his moose preparations and in addition to a rifle, ammuni- tion and ax very little else, except volume of Shakespeare, and a con- densed treatise on geology, these books each making a side load for one of his faithful dogs,
 Perry says he Is never lonely; he is always in the pink of condition, except on his rare visits to civilza- ton, and the fact that he never sees newspaper and rarely receives his mail for years at time, causes him no distress. His tent is made of light material purposely, so that in the winter the heat generated from the bodies of the explorer and his two dogs congeals on the sur face. He states that in cold weather covering of frost from four to five inches thick settles on the canvas, and that he is comfortably warm even though the thermometer may be down to 70 degrees below zero. Hith- erto, this country has been quite un- explored, but Perry is now in pos session of accurate maps which he has himself made by which he shows the location of the minerals he has discovered.

WEIRD TALE
 OF TROPICS
 IN FAR NORTH

Now comes Frank Perry, mining engineer, with a story of troplcal valley in the heart of the frozen North near the Yukon boundary where boiling rivers so heat the surrounding country that rose bushes grow to the height of trees, while veins of precious metals run side by side to mountains of coal and fierce lbubbling springs of oil.
 For seventeen years, with only two pack dogs to carry his equipment, Perry explored the unkown sub- Arctic regions until he by chance came upon this vast paradise in the midst of snow-covered mountains, according to a story In the Dawson News.
 The area of the terrain is roughly 700 miles north and south, and 300 miles wide; it lies between the coastal range and the Liard and Fort Nelson Rivers, and contains factors hitherto unknown to Canadians.
 Crossing a range one winter and reaching the crest, Perry prepared to descend into the next valley when he was surprised to find it was covered with heavy fog. This valley was approximately 200 miles long and about forty wide. Rivers of hot water ran through it, fed by hundreds of hot springs, which bubblei out of the ground in all directions, the steam from these being condensed On rising and forming the fog which he had first seen from the range crest.
 Perry remained in this valley and it's neighborhood for year, and never before in his experiences in game country had he seen so many wild animals which congregated there for the luxuriant vegetation that was made possible by the neat gener" ated by the springs. In the valley were hundreds of mountain sheep and goats, caribou and moose, with bears and other ur-bearing animals.
 Due to the exceptionally good grazing in the valley, Perry states that the moose and deer looked like the pictures of the old Norman horse-almost square from fat-and they were so tame that he has been able to walk amongst them, and could almost touch them as they fed
 This country is never visited by
The Cordova daily times., 1922-10-20

the Indians due to the fact that the imprints of huge three-toed pre-his- toric animals are found in the sand stones and shales; the Indians think these monsters still roam the coun- try, and although they know it to be a hunters paradise they give the valley a wide berth. In addition to the hot springs some of which break from the ground at boiling tenn perature, there are mineral springs of various descriptions.
 The black soil is of a depth which Perry estimated at between sixty seven to seventy feet on clay sub- soil, while the tree growth was ab- normal. The ordinary wild rose bushes were like trees, with stems as thick as mans forearm, and so dense that it was impossible to force a way through them, while the will lows grew to tree size and it was possible to walk along the branches. Some of the trunks of the latter were fully one foot and a half through, vines grew to length of about sixty feet and nettles and ferns were both of unusual height.
 During the winter there was no frost in this valley and for about 25 miles along it there is open land suit able for ranching, the width of the bottom being estimated at four miles. In other sections it is a mixed park-like country which would need clearing of birch and willow, but there are considerable areas open in patches. Perry states that in ad- dition to marvels of vegetation the minerals in this unknown terrain are quite equal in their unusual quan- tity. In different formations, but close together, gold, silver and cop- per were found, some of the samples viewed in Edmonton and brought out by Perry being apparently rich. In particular he struck three veins which were particularly good. These were about forty feet wide and a hundred and fifty feet long, but there are thousands of others, says the engineer. Coal there is, too, with iron in proximity; of the first named what practically amounts to a whole mountain was found, one seam meas uring 800 feet across the strike, while the largest iron ore seam met with ran to about two hundred feet thick as far as the explorer could judge.
 In addition, oil formations were met with, and numerous seepages found, and though to some the whole story may sound like a fairy tale, Perry states that substantiation will soon be forthcoming, as he has in- terested big capitalists in the dis coveries he has made, and he is en- deavoring to arrange to take in
