The Pecan in southern Georgia.

Mr.. j. B. Wright Cairo, Ga, contributes
the following experience in growing the
pecan:
In your issue of December 3, you asked
me to give some account Of my pecans, a
sample of which I send you, and which
you kindly noticed. My first planting of a
few nuts was made twelve years ago
From this planting 1 have but three trees.
Little attention was paid TO them at first;
more during the last few years. 1t is suf-
ffcient 10 say that they are air now bear
ing profitable crops of nuts. The largest
of these trees is twelve inches in diane
ter one foot above the ground.
The tree which bore the nuts which
send you is a budded one set January.
1892. when it was about three feet high.
This tree has had fairly good attention,
and it has responded fairly Wen to the
care bestowed on it. Here are some figures
in regard to it, which show what growth
may reasonably be expected of pecans.
The figures give the circumference of the
trae three fapt above the crrOup1.

the soil, SO the roots will always find suit
able feeding ground
If that can DE accomplished, and If there
are no great drawbacks as a freeze, or dis
ease, and the trees are not allowed to bear
what is termed a fun crop, then they
should bear fruit every season.
In bulletin IS, California experiment sta
ton, is table of the analysis of the ash
Of the orange. One thousand pounds aver
age oranges gave:
Ash. Potash Ph'sacid Ntgen
Orange ........4 % Pill SO 1.S3
Lemons .......5.57 PIG 81 Isl
From this table we see that the ash is
one-half or more potash, and this ele-
ment in the soil Should be increased to
meet increased demands of the trees and
fruit, SO that future analysis of soil would
show greater amount in the soil.
Lime Is an important factor and stands
next to the three main elements, potash,
phosphoric acid and nitrogen.
The analysis of ash of the lemon runs
very similar to that of the orange. From
bulletin No. II, Florida experiment sta
ton, We find that there is

Magnesia ..35-6.4
Soda OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 2S-5.5 4.26
This is based on analysis of the fruit
and not of the tree.
The problem is, what should fertilizer
contain to replace what the forming OF
fruit takes away from the soil. The
orange takes larger percentage of pot
ash from the soil than any other ele-
ment, and that is what is lacking more
than anything else in the common fer
u4izers put upon the market. To replace
what the orange takes from the soil we
should have a fertilizer that contains 81
per cent. phosphoric acid, per cent. nj
trogen, and 16 per cent. potash. This Is
intended for old bearing trees. 1t would
require twelve and a half to thirteen
pounds Of this fertilizer to grow 1000
oranges Lime enters largely into the
orange and is next in Importance. The
four make about all that need be fur
nished, as the other constituents, mag
nesia, silica chlorine, etc, are usually to
be found in the soil in abundance.

The pecan, up to three or four years of
age, is a slow grower. A fair growth for
a tree one year old is ten 10 fifteen inches
in hight; two years old, two TO three feet;
three years old, to 6 feet. This is where
the tree is on good land. and kept clear
of weeds and grass. When once wen es-
tablished, few trees respond more readily
to generous treatment than does the pc
can, as the figures above show; on the
other hand. few win show the bad effects
Of neglect as it does.
VIII pecan growing pay2 Yes if you
secure a large, thin-shelled variety that
is an early and prolific bearer, and then
take proper care of your trees. No, if
the opposite conditions prevail Some
writer's have made too much as to the
profits in pecan growing; but as a money
maker it is far more profitable than cot
ton at Az cents My fa!th in them is
shown by my present acreage in pecans,
which is about 1O0 most of which are
young trees, two to six years old.
There is one important point that
should be considered by those who con-
template planting pecans, and that Is they
will rarely reproduce true from the seed.
Seedlings vary greatly as to productive
ness, age of coming into bearing, and
size of the nuts. The nuts l planted
averaged from fifty to sixty TO the pound
So far as the resulting trees have come
into bearing, they are producing nuts
weighing from sixty-five to ninety 10 the
pound. Budded or grated trees from the
very best varieties cost more at first, but
they are far more profitable in the end
Few articles of diet are more healthful
than pecans, and yet very few are grown
in Georgia or Florida-states that can
produce them as easily and cheaply as
any in the union. A well-grown tree 20
to % years Old, should produce annually
from 100 to 800 pounds of nuts. Any one
can find room about the home for one
10 one hundred such trees. Once well
established there IS no tree that will pro-
duce a larger income of pleasure and
profit than the pecan. ] believe the ad-
vice once given me Is sound: Young
man, plant pecan grove, and when you
are old u will support you"
