McIntyre and W. H. Rockwell came ot *» n d north Georgia lying along
' th* line* of tita Southern Railway,
notably ln Haberanam and Raburn
counties, of which he aald:
“The conditions necessary for the
successful culture of tho apple must
naturally be found in hilly or some
what mountainous sections, and
hence th* territory over which tho
finest apples—those possessing the.
finest qualltlee—may be grown, la
somewhat limited. Northeast Geor
gia has these conditions in s moat
unusual degree. I found a soil that
ts n wonderful combination of sandy
loam, red loam, and clay, I hat I*
fully supplied with humus. It Is
practically virgin soil, with an ele
vation of from flttsen hundred to
two thousand taet climatic condi
tions of the moat desirable character
are assured; such hi warm sunny
days, and cool night temperatures,
which give the hpplo' 1U highest
flavor and Its most beautiful color,
Th* rolling character of the land as
sures perfect natafal drainage, while
its high'.'elevatlon renders it emin-.
ently free from those fungus dis
eases that In many section are disas
trous to th* foliage .and also to the
fruit of the,trees. ,
"With an average annual rainfall
of 60 inches ln the mountainous
regions of the Southeast, irrigation
need to be considered. With tillage
and cover crapa the soil will con
tinue to improve for a century to
com*. Only capital, intelligence and
good business method! are required
to make this section wonderful in
its natural resources, hot only in the
culture of apples, but In general ag
riculture. The soil and natural con
ditions that make tor agricultural
wealth ar* here on every hand, and
all that Is needed to develop them
Is nn Influx of desirable settlers and
the use of the above qualifications.”
Dr. Powell’s tribute to the possi
bilities of the Southeast for apple
growing naturally means much for
this favored region, and the South
ern Railway Company I* giving wide
exploitation to hi* estimate In the
hope of arousing th* Southesst to
new Interest In horticulture ts well
