IN SOUTH GEORGIA.
TI»o Great Developments in Progrew*
A ton ml Tifton.
r. J. Mopn, In Atlanta ConstlMitlon.)
But it is not in smith went Georgia
ulone that the fruit crop prospers. It
has been demonstrated that the coun
try around Tifton possesses advant-
ages which have already marked it as
a prominent fruit centre. 1
When the late Hon. Nelson Tift
went in with the pioneers who opened
up Dougherty county he pushed his
enterprises far out. Other members
<jf his farqily joined him and the Tift
saw mills began the groat work of
introducing Georgia pine to the mar
kets of tho world. Messrs. H. II., W.
O. and Ed. Tift were for years the
great lumber kings of all that country’
Routh and east of Albany. Tifton
was one of their stations on tbe Bruns
wick and Western road, which has
since been mado more important by
the coming of tho Georgia Southern.
“Fourteen years ago," said Mr. W,
O. Tift, “as 1 was about to make a
trip to New York,'I took along some
Chinese cling poaches, which I had
bought from a farm wagon. They
wore just the kind that had been
growing in Berrien, Irwin, Colquitt
and Worth counties for generations
past. Wlion I went into the New
York commission house with which I
had dealings, tbe bead of the (inn
went into eestacies over the present
wliicli l bad brought him.
“‘Where did you get them?’'lie
asked.
“Right in the piney woods of Geor
gia,’ said I.
“ ‘Then,’ said ho, go back and put
all your money into the raising of such
peaches as these. They will make
yon a fortune.’
“But I did not follow his advice
until live years ago, when I decided
to enter extensively into tho cultiva
tion of fruit.
“Since that timo I have had every
reason to felicitate myself on the de
vision made. I iind that around Tif
ton a two-year-old tree is equal to
one three years old fifty miles north.
Not only that, but the fruit matures
a week earlier on all varieties, and
the crop never fails. Even last year,
when there was general failure, I had
a reasonably good crop, which I mar
keted at $9 a crate.
“It is fortunate for this section of
Georgia that it has been written up so
favorably by Professoi Budd, of the
State Agricultural College of Iowa,
lie bus neither a dollar’s interest in
tho country nor personal acquaint
anen with its people, having arrived
at his conclusion from his own unob
served investigation. This section
has been visited by men eminent in
ifoi’Ucultui’O who unite in declaring
it to bo the idcul fruit country. Not
long ago a northern gentleman, after
looking over my orchards, asked:
“ ‘Ilow much territory in Georgia
is equal to tills5®
‘A dozen surrounding comities,’
said I. ‘You cannot overrate the
possibility of this land.’ ”
A drive ovor the different Tift es
tates showed perfect trees, laden with
their precious burdens. Tho most
notable featuro of Mr. Tift’s great or,
chards was bis vineyards, where the
grape vines, strong, full-leaved and
well fruited, were a pleasure to look
upon. This orchard of 40,000 vines
is a fortune in itself.
A fact to he noticed upon entering
Tifton is the elegant architecture of
its homes, all now and showing that
a good citizenship has been attracted
to the place. In the country sur
rounding these are several large colo
nies of northern people, who arc
breaking up the land, building new
bouses and pinning themsclvos to the
’soil. One colony of Pennsylvanians
consists of forty families, who have
witjiin two years worked a revolution
in the land.
