Holmes, of this office, Worm'a'relative wh,4.A$'"been away down south" in Georgia, mfly"be of in- terest to our many readers : Griffin, Georgia, March 0, 1882. DEAR SIR,—Yon will see from the above that I have reached the end of my long talked - of journey south. I arrived here just a week ago to -day, and have found the country to mere than satisfy my brightest antioipations, both as to beauty of scenery, salubrity of climate, purity and abundance of spring wa- ter, fertility of the soil and hospitality and: intelligence of the people. Everything grown in Canada grows here, only with greater ease and more abundance, besides many other fruits and vegetables of a semi tropical na- ture. The wheat fields here are beautiful to look upon, also oats, rye, and barley—and not killed in patches by the frost; as at home. I passed by..a field, of barley to -day thatty stands over a foot in height. But this is, of all countries that I have ever visited, the paradise of fruit growers. I am told that nearly all the apples consumed in the south are imported from the northern states. The apple has been almost entirely neglected, al- though, growing and ripening to perfection. The ruling price is $2 per bushel, but some• tires they are sold for $1 per bushel. The Georgians are so wedded, to the raising of cotton, that, as a rule, they do not turn their attention to anything else, and seem to think they would not be successful in fruit growing, as they have never been accustomed to it. There are several large peach orchards here— the largest in the world—one of 400 acres. Mr. Parnell, brother of the Irish agitator, has 'a peach orchard of 700 acres, and there are several others in the neighborhood of from 10 to 500 acres, generally set but by northern nen. Peaches are raised here six weeks in advance of the crop• at the north, and a very profitable business is made by sending them to northers cities, where the first shipments command almost tabolous prices -as high as S32 having been reoeived by the growers here. As the crop, begins to ,come in more plenti- fully the price gradually drops to $16, $8, or $4 per bushel, and winds up in September 'till they cease to pay for shipment, and are sold in local markets from $2 to 25 cents per bushel. A drying establishment or canning factory, on a very large scale, could not fail - of being very profitable. Sweet potatoes are grown here in abundance, as well as our Ca- nadian variety. The potato bug pest is not known here. Rice is grown to some extent, also sugar cane, figs, patsimmons, pecans, English walnuts, filberts, etc. Strawberries ripen here about the 15th of April, but there is not enough raised to supply even the local markets, and 75 cents per quart is a common price for the first supply in Atlanta, and from that down to ten cents, later in the season. Fruit trees grow much more rapidly here than at home. I have transplanted a large number of peach trees from the nursery, bud- ded lastsummer,• and I find many of them higher than my head, full of buds, ready to, blossom and bear fruit by the 25th May (less than one year from the insertion of the bud). When apple trees are well taken care of they begin to yield a- profitable return in three to four years from the time of planting out, and they continue to increase in fruitfulness year by year, until ten or twelve years, when as many as 30 to 50 bushels have been gathered from one tree. A neighbor here has several thousand pear trees set out five years ago, they have borne several crops and are larger than mine at home, set out twenty years ago. Land is very cheap, and easy to obtain, from $IO to $25 per aare,.according to location arid Anality, and profitable returns in fruit raising, speedy and certain. But a deep interest in fruit culture is being awakened, and it oan- not be long ere the beat 'localities will be se- cured, and much higher prices for land rea• lizod. Yours, Svc., , E. S. L.
