ABSTRACT
Wheat and all kindred grains flourish in such a climate as they would in Emope, and, in fact, a sample of wheat sent from a Lydenburg farm bore off a prize at the recent exhibition in Paris. Lower down all sorts of sub-tropical, and even tropical, fruit can be grown including even coffee and the sugar cane; but in these rich valleys the healthy bracing air of the highland is, of course, lost. It must be remembered that from the ‘Lebomba mountains to the port, a distance of 30 or 40 miles, lies the track of low country from which Delagoa Bay derived its not undeserved reputation for unhealthiness. Arrangements have since been made by the President of the TransVaal Republic with the Portuguese Government, and a railway is to be constructed immediately. According to the decision of Marshal McMahon, who was appointed Arbitrator; Portugal now owns all the territory on the shores of Delagoa Bay.
