This is the hardiest of edible oranges, and when budded on Citrus Trifoliata roots its hardi ness is increased to such an ex tent that it can withstand any cold spells we have in the Coast Belt. The trees are spreading in habit, covering an area of from fifteen to twenty feet, seldom reaching over fifteen feet in height. The branches are so low that the fruit is not easily injur ed by winds, and can nearly all be picked trouble some employment of ladders. The trees are thornless and bear young. I have seen two-year old trees with a dozen fairsized oranges on them, while four-year old groves have yielded over SSOO to the acre. It is the earliest market orange, is ready for shipment when oranges bring the highest prices. The fruit is medium size, fatten ed; color, deep, reddish orange; fleh, fine-grained, tender, juicy, and so sweet it will pass the pure food law acid test before it is well colored. The skin is thin and loose; the segments can be removed and separated without the loss of juice, making it the ideal eating orange, one that can be eaten in a car or on the street without soiling the hands.. The Satsuma does not do well on other roots than the Citrus Trifoliata, which in turn requires a clay or alluvial suosoil, so its area is almost limited to the Gulf Coast region. There is not as much risk in growing Satsuma oranges on Citrus Trifoliata stock in this region as in growing Navels in California, or Indian River oranges in Florida. You need never lose a crop; the fruit is ripe before any danger of freez ing, and the chance of losing the trees is not so great, as is proven by the Weather Bureau records for the three sections. —Octovia Jackson In Home & Farm. A. L. Lanier, Attorney at Law, MT. VERNON, GA. Will Practice in all the Courts of tbe State. Why I Breed Berkshires. The Berkshire is the handsom est type of swine ever developed, says a correspondent of the Rural New Yorker. They appeal to the idealist more than to the everyday practical farmer. A “hog is a hog” to him, regard less of his makeup. To one who is seeking the most beautiful, a hog that appeals to him is a Berkshire. In most cases it is not too much to say that before a man can appreciate a highclass Berkshire he must have a critical eye, a keen sense of beauty of form and lots of interest in the values of life, for a Berkshire, at his best, stands apart from the typical, mere hog enough; others that they are “rich man’s, or gentleman’s hog.” No breed is better adapted to all parts of the country, especially the East. They are good rustlers and ran gers, will turn almost any kind of feed into pork, and cut the highest percentage of the best kind of pork; one of the best breeds for export. They are un excelled as mothers and very pro lific. ■ ■■■p— — mmmmm ■ ■■ A Note to You: Jan. I, 1914. Stop your automobiles and other vehicles in front of our place. Why go further?
