, [ FIRST TO GROW ORANGES.
. Jeaulis Introduced Them Into the
I’ellean Ntntv.
The orange of Louisiana is an exetp
tionally fine variety of that fruit, and
commands a good price in the market.
The orange was first introduced into
colonial Louisiana by the JusuitH, hav
ing been first grown by the iueuilx*rs of
the society on their grounds, which
formerly comprised that part of the city
of New Orleans which constitutes the
lower part of the first district, down to
Common street.
While St. Bernard and Plaquemines
parishes uro the chief centers of the
orange culture of Louisiana, the fruit
also grows well in the parishes of Or
leans, Jefferson, St. James, St. John
Baptist, St. Charles, Assumption, St.
Mary, Terrebonne, Lafourche, Vermil
ion, Cameron, Iberia and Sabine. The
orange tree begins to bear at about the
seventh year, although it is not reck
oned to have reached its full growth
until its twelfth or fifteenth year.
The orange culture in Louisiana is
probably the most profitable industry of
the state under favorable conditions, a
full grown tree producing from 3,000
to 5,000 oranges, the fruit on the tree
generally selling for $lO a thousand,
and as some of the largest orchards in
the state yield as many as 3,000,000
oranges their market value gives a
princely income to the owners of the
trees. Comparatively a very small acre
age of the state is devoted to the growth
of oranges—possibly not more than
2,000 acres.
The sweetness, delicacy and juiciness
of the Louisiana orange, the best of
which are regarded iu the markets out
side of Louisiana as superior to even the
oranges of Cuba, to which island the
fruit is indigenous, render the Louisi
ana oranges highly prized in the north
and west of the United .States, so much
bo that the supply is not by any means
equal to the demand. New Orleans

LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Mil. Editor : Some years ago I took an
idea that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say, in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best lor
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place,, and a home
recently built that cost me over $3,000 to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 par acre—saying
altogether, about $lO per acre, without
improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 to another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a hat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time,
so that all shall have a fair chance to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their m mey, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to market gardening, and for
northern people who know how to work,
it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc, • The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
itor of the Call will vouch for what I
say.
1 would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say.
I have also a farm of 50 acres near
Barnesville for sale, on good terms.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion ot one or two parties for years, and
have never been questioned and arc as
goTd as gold.
