How Exchanges Are Made, Told by American Consul. ;The ; Export' department 1 of the Northwestern. Fruit Exchange, which is making a comprehensive study of the world markets for Northwestern apples and has collaterally secured in formation as to the consumption and importation into foreign countries of various kinds of fruit has ascertained that, "The total importations of fruit and berries of all kinds into Sweden amount to approximately $3,000,000 per annum, of which about 25 per cent enters through the port of Goth enburg. Fresh and ftried fruit form the principal item of importation from the United States. The Ameri can Consul at Gothenburg informs us that the American apples sold in that market are known under these differ ent names: California, Oregon and all others simply as American apples. The best qualities sold are Winesaps, Spitzenburg and Jonathans. The red apple is preferred, as green apples, with the exception of a few Oregon Newtowns cannot be sold there. Large apples are also not in demand. The medium and small sizes are prefer red. The most popular size seems to be the 175s. Boxes are recommended for packing, as the apples arrive ir. better condition. "At present fruit 'from the United States is largely purchased by Goth enburg importers through jobbers in Copenhagen, Hamburg, London, and Liverpool. The Consul informs us thnt American exporters insist upon cash against documents in New York, and even in San Francisco. The Gothenburg importers who are inter ested in making direct purchases are trying to secure a concession of pay ment of 80 per cent only against docu ments and 20 per cent, upon arrival and inspection of the goods."

HENRY m GARR Complete House Furnishc'i ' r BIO AGRICULTURE LAND OPENING TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TRACTS of five and ten acres each to be granted to prospective set tlers in throwing open Twenty Thousand Acres oC Rich, Southern Georgia Land, which is admirably adapted to ' . the growing of celery, sweet and Irish potatoes, cantel oupes, water melons, corn, oats, ' cotton, hay m. fact, all staple crops grown in this fertile section, as well as a large variety of semi-tropical fruits, and the famous " immensely profitable paper-shell pecans. ..... .-. :- ;i Providing you are eligible under the classifications prescribed by us, you are now offered an excellent: opportunity to break away from the drudgery and toil o f of a small wage, or working for the benefit of land-' lords, and go back to a land of plenty, to fvhich, if gra nted, you will hold, a warranty deed and abstract The best security on earth is the earth itself, and land is the basis of all wealth.: Owners of, productive lands are benefiting by the increasing high cost of livi ng, while others are suffering from it. " An Opportunity to Secure! Rich Productive Land Without Capital" You will not be required to leave your present surroundings now. All we ask of those to whom we grant tracts is that they plant, or arrange to have planted, a crop of one of the above-mentioned pro ducts within three years, after which we will have it operated ( harvested and replanted) for grantees, in consideration of 25 per cent, of the net profits de rived from the sale of the crops, thereby allowing the grantee to pursue his or her present occupation until such time as they determine just what the yield of their acres amounts to. Consider what this may mean as a source of income, when statistics show that the yield of one acre of celery amounted to $1,268.45. nnd that one acre of well-cared-for paper shell pecans, in full bearing, should net its owner as high as $500.00 per year. We are of the opinion that after it is proven by actual results ob tained in operating the land that they will need no further urging, and waste no time in locating in this land of plenty. We also require grantees to occupy the land within ten years, or sell it to some one who will occupy it; otherwise it reverts back to the grantor. The land included in this opening is located di rectly on and adjoining the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad, about twenty-five miles west of Brunswick, a thriving city of fifteen, thousand, having direct steamship service to New York and Boston, and excellent railroad transportation facil ities to all points. The average temperature for six months of the vear. from April to October, is 77 de grees; the climate is most healthful, deliirhtful, and invigorating, and there is an ample rainfall of 61 inches per year. Our Aim Is for Mutually Beneficial Results. As we are extremely desirous of having set tlers locate on this property, and assist in its de velopment, and thereby greatly increase the value of surrounding and intervening property, which wc will hold, and to increase the traffic along the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railioad, and thus facilitate the service, we feel warranted in granting these tracts to those who register with us.' We also have in mind business and residence plots which wp will offer for sale after the opening, but which will not be included in it. We have "money-Waking afterward" considerations in this liberal-minded opening, similar to those of the Northern Pacific SOUTHERN GEORGIA RAILROAD COLORADO BUILDING and othe!r railroads when they granted their lands;' , and we expect to benefit thereby, as well as the ones who will receive the tracts. We have also planned to develop what Is !de- ' signed to be the best equipped, most up-to-date, scientific, commercial farm and orchard , in ,ex- istence. ' It will consist of six thousand acres, and will be included in this opening. All who register"' and receive trcts will get the benefit of the ex- , periments and scientific methods in vogue thereon. . While we are arranging to prevent over-registration, we will avoid many disappointments, such as occurred in other land openings conducted by the , United States Government and railroads, by grant ing those who registered in excess of the number? of tracts to be granted, an interest in this .com-.,, mercinl farm and orchard enterprise, in the hope " that they may later locate in one of our town sites. Examination of the land will cheerfully be per mitted, and the opening will be held at Brown town, Wayne County. Georgia, one of the stations '' of the A. B. & A. Railroad, which is located on this propertf , and will occur as soon after the closing of registrations as arrangements can bo made. The presense of those registered will not be . neoessarv at Browntown on the opening day, unless they wish to attend, for there is no favoritism shown anyone. It .will be conducted by a commit tee selected for the purpose, and those registered . will be notified of what they have been granted, as soon as possible. With the ever-increasing population of this country there is no corresponding increase in the area of land, and naturally as the population in creases and seeks the land in pursuit of health, happiness and independence, it will continue to . be harder to secure. The prosperous and contented class in Europe to-day are the descendants of those who secured land there when it wns plentiful, while the descend ants of those who obtained no land are now the peasants and slaves. You must realize that this may be your last chance to secure land in this country without a large outlay of capital, so it should not be necessary to urge you to act at once by forwarding us th application for registration attached to this announcement.
