thus the ftpm of h k v- pickstone was launched mr pickstone bought a farm n the great drakesteln valley and prospered later on rhodes sent for him and asked him what the rest of the land in the valley copra be txmght tor the valley was orteen miles long by two or three miles across and there were several good- farms there as well as a couple of hamlets plekstenn estimated that- it would cost a quarter of a million pounds all right said rhodes go ahead and buy it this waa the birth of the celebrated rhodes fmtt farms which have done so much for the fruit industry in south africa shortly before the outbreak of the boer war pickstone visited rhodes and there met rudyard klpltng and sir james metcalfe they sat up moat of the night discussing the rhodes farms and ahe scheme ot building op a tremendous export business mr plekatone insists that the fruit of sorrth africa is the bnest anywhere and tbs dream of the enthusiasts wbo discussed the mat ter that night wasthat it might he made to take the place of california fruit and become as well known througboutthe world as manitoba wheat kipling mads sketches for the trade mark of the company it waa proposed to form he also sug gested as a motto we do not earn p we supplement for he tatter ed that it was necessary to have a business slogan mr kipling re marked rather proudly as the com pany was breaking up that he should have been an advertising agent in stead ot a novelist it was under stood that he should write jiome of the adve foftno new com- banybtnrthe war intervened and the great scheme was never carried oat the rhodes farms however j became part of the empire builders great african interests and mr pickstone kept his eye on them when klmberly was relieved pickstone was sent for by rhodes and stayed with him for a day at a sanatorium the next day there was a meeting of the do beers di rectors to whfeb rhodes insisted that pickstone should go and much to the astonishment or plekatone he made the following anneancetnent gentlemen yohalls knowmr plekatone he is managing our farms for na and be has come up to discuss the farms and thetr posi tion and continued i have known mx plekatone for ten years and am ipiueprepared to take him for life what we are going to do is- this we are volng to buy us farm it la right in the middle of ours and bet er than any of our own and we are going to pay him a big price for it we are going to buy hla nnraery business it la a very good business i know it well at a big price and we are going to amalgamate all mr pickstone interests with oar own now he said as you know every thing la called after me he ln ataneed rhodesia rhodes fruit tanna and many other large eon- car na and continued in regard to oor farms i should never havv bought them except for mr plek atone and we are going to call them ptekatoaes limited and we are going in capitalise at half a million of money andwe are going to maka mr pickstone managing director for life under a treat deed give him a good salary and a big share of the the incident indicates the gener osity or rhodes and also th way lie bad with hla directors but pick stone for some reason that he finds it dlmertt to make clear did not want the job he says that be is the sort of man whovwould rather own a single acre than ne a part owner in ten thousand acres- which la not an uncommon trait among english men he and jameson discussed the ides for months but pickstone re mained firm snd rhodes becoming offended pickstone was advised to keep out of hla way dr jameson again urged plekatone torchange bis mind- and said that rhodes had paid him a tremendous compliment by offering to nave the farms called in bis hoaorfor he loved nothing more than to bare his own name associated with arest undertakings but pickstone remained unmoved snd then rhodes once more admit ted him to f and the matter was never again spoken of between them r hospital fossick children college st toronto through
