Diversified Farming;.
Diversified fruit nnd truck
arming is the evident destiny of
he profitless cotton plantations
nd cleave 1 lumber lands of
leorgia, admirably suited as they
re for that purpose in soil, di¬
late and position to the markets
f both the North and of Europe.
If it be conceded, then, that
vhat Georgia wants is men, with
ilenty of energy if but moderate
•apital, the question arises—how
they be got?
The problem has already been
in California. It has been
.vorked out there with great prof
l to themselves, and incalculable
benefit to that great state, by
mshing, enterprising business
nen, the same class who will solve
he problem here.
THE PLAN IN CALIFORNIA.
The plan employed is, briefly,
to subdivide the land, plant a cer¬
tain portion of each tract to di¬
versified fruits, (suitable to the
particular locality in which work
is being carried on,) and sell to
immigrants on a system of “long¬
time” .payments. It makes the
acquisition of the land singularly
easy. The great bar to the settler
acquiring a tract has always been
the difficulty in finding the re¬
lied capital to purchase and car¬
ry on planting operations, etc.
obstacle was removed by re
only one fourth of the
■purchased money as a cash pay

months for this purpose.
A large acreage of orchards will
this year for the first time come
into bearing and next year will
again add largely to this amount
From all accounts the fruit crop
this year is going to be a ^bump¬
er” one.
NEW ENTERPRISES.
Important as the operations
now at work a step has lately
been taken of vaster importance
in the right direction. It is an
open secret that an enterprise,
originating in Macon, is about to
be formed, comprised of some of
the leading business men Jn Ma¬
con and Atlanta, with some gen¬
tlemen from the North, wnich will
deal with this question in tht
manner br'efly indicated. This
enterprise will be remarkable in
this respect, that it has the solid
support of Georgians, who in the
past have been so sadly wanting.
As has been remarked frequently,
it is useless to vaunt the superior¬
ities of Georgia at after-dinner
banquets, in eloquent editorials,
at state conventions, unless these
opinions are backed by tangible
money support. It is a sign that
they have shaken off the apathy,
have abandoned the doctrine of
“leave alone,” which has helped
so greatly to retard the progress
of Georgia. Once aroused to ac¬
tion, with co operation between
North and South, with business¬
like organization and careful, pa¬
tient handling, success is
and a success will change the face
of Georgia.

when it is recollected how ex¬

after her marriage, until her hus¬

The in debt Emperor is also very largely
