MAY BECOME GREAT BELT FOR PEACHES It is beginning to look as if the Sand Hills of Richland County are going to be the nev& peach belt of South Caroling, rivaling the famous Ridge Section. It wot only about three years ago very soon after W. J. Wilson and sevenii',.others fjad come to the Sand Hill i Rtgiorr/o^Richland and started farms | around the station of Jacobs or Poi>cuic, that a meeting of the farmeit was held in a little school house. Commissioner Watson devoted attention that day to an expression of his faith in the future of the Sand Hill Region of the State and to urging upon those present the possibilities of growing peaches. Time went on and it was not long before Mr, Wilson on his White Winy Farms, and others, began to plan peach orchards with carefully selected fruit trees, being assisted in this work most effectively by the farm demonstration forces. Finally on both sides of Jacobs along the pobl'c high"-aj? nice orchards wore thoroughly cstah Iished and that earliest of market peacnes, tne Mayi lower was 173c d. The orchards have begun to dolivc: heir first crop and yesterday mori ing Mr. Wilson brought to Comrnis sioner Watson a crate of the hand somest Mayflower peaches ever growi in the State. The fruit is free fron all blemish being grown on pr rl'ecti; healthy and well cared for trees, proving the adaptibility of the soil, and the fruit is richer in color and mud larger in size than the earliest orchards arc now coming from the Ridg Section. "Those who have fruit orchards ai row convinced cd the thorough a> ap ibility of the soil to growing poache foi market purposes and the orcha,v"' the Seaboard Air Line transportatio1 facilities could not he better, stated Col. Watson. "The result of these first efforts will undoubtedly be reflected by the putting in of an ever increasing acreage to peaches and i1 three years more this section, which so Long lay idle will coubtlcss be at extremely busy one with each recurring peach shipping season." Mr. Wilson, who originally came from the northwest, after spending ; while in Florida, came to the Sam belt region of South Carolina b> choice and he is delighted with the a /? n ? * -- 1 prospects 01 iuturc cieviopment ol that particular section of Richlant | county. o CHILDREN'S* DAY.
