' the Savannah News. ' ' ' j , [ 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.

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. 8. B. BURR, Sr. Barnesville, Ga.
