AN APPEAL TO CAESAR
R. Ramirez Desires an Amelioration

R. Ramirez, who claims to be a citi- zen of Arizona, in a letter addressed to Governor Murphy, thus desires to put himself under the bros6 aegis of the United States:

CHRISTMAS DINNER AND TREE.

The officers of the Salvation Army are quite busy in their preparations for the free dinner for the poor, and if the affair is not a success it will not be their fault, as they are hustling around among the people for help for this purpose. The women have put aside their feelings and can be seen standing on the streets with a box collecting and some of them are call ing on the business men for donations of provisions. There has not been such a hearty response on this line as there are helping with their coins in the street boxes fairly well. Among some of the business men that have helped so far are as follows: The Arizona bakery has promised all the bread they will need. The Phoenix bakery is go- ing to help with other kinds of bakery. The meat markets have given nice sized roasts. Several fruit stores have also helped with fruit, also the candy stores have remembered the children. There are quite a number to hear from. The army desires to thank the people who have helped and they desire to an nounce that the dinner will commence at F o'clock on Christmas day, until 3 p. m. There will also be a tree for the

have all the cracked-up new sorts, it
is a proof that they are untested. The
home nurseryman CAN procure any
thing which he does not have as we'll
as the agent can, for if it has merits
it will be in the general trade. On
the whole, it is BETTER before buying
to have a talk with some nurseryman
of reputation, as well aus with fruit
growers of experience. A little eau
tiOn and common sense in buying
trees will save lots of future trouble.

Pecan Nut Culture.

It is surprising that this matter
should have received SO little atten-
ton up to this time, the demand for
good nuts being practically unlimited.
The trees, as far as my observat ton
goes, are subject to no disease, and
have but few insect pests to contend
with. They Will grow in almost any
soil, ON high or low land, no cultiva-
ton, mo draining,' NO pruning requir-
er. The reverse of all this is true of
the orange; yet how many have spent
much money in trying to establish or
ange groves, and so few to plant pc
can trees. The returns from the first
so uncertain, from the last absolutely
sure. An orange grove in this State
may be, and often is, killed out in one
night by cold, while pecan grove
will continue to be profitable for
years; for so long in fact that it is
not even remembered who planted it.
The pecan nut tree, "Yuglans Carya
Olivaeformis," grows wild in many of
the Southern States, and is said "to
be indigenous along the Mississippi
river as far north as Southern Iowa."

as in Justice to the farmers who are
handicapped and forced to pay inter-

The syrup now lying idle in the

should be made available in our task

Great Pecan Figures.

zen says:
A pecan tree about twelve years old
has born three hundred pounds of
very fine and choice nuts at one crop.
These nuts were nearly twice as Large
aIs the pecan nuts found in the stores,
or averaged sixty-four to the pound.
These nuts sold readily for seed by
Wholesale at 20 cents per pound; con-
sequently this single tree made a
crop in one year worth $50. Sam
James, writing for the Southern Gull
tivator says that one of his best trees
brought him this year $45 worth of
NUTS, and THAT they sell readily.
The usual market price for fine pc
cans is 1919 cents per pound, but the
choicest for seed find buyers readily
at 81 per pound, and at this figure
siryie trees have produced over 800
at single crop. William Nelson of
New Orleans says: "FEl-grown trees
wiz yield from one to five barrels of
nuts That will sell from five to so
cents per pound" Now, these state
ments al. refer to the haphazard seed

ing realized by planting the choicest

Probable cost and profit of a ten
acre orchard planted in pecans is as
follows: Land, ten acres, pine land,
800; fence, 500; trees, both seed
ings and grated, 800; fertilizer, ten
years, $500; total, $500. Nuts, five

$23, 625-$3, 800, $19, 1925.
The wood should pay for the clear
ing off the land, and farm crops should
pay the expense of caring for the
trees.
Now, SCALE it down to one-half, say
$4,000. This would be $500 per acre
per year for ten years.

Buying Fruit Trees.

cases it is safe to buy Through agents,
and also to send orders to distant nur-
series. To give an order to an agent
of ia reliable nursery is as safe as to
deal direct, but one needs to be sure
THAT the party who claims to repre-
sent the nursery is an agent, and not
a mere DEALER who buys where he
pieases and SELLS at whatever price he
can get. The Ohio Station, in Bulle
tin 1877, says THAT dealers are seldom
responsible and do not hesitate to
make any promise to refill the order
free of charge in case of .oss in trans
planting, nor to make any claim as
to genuineness and superiority, in or
der to effect sales.
Honest men find it hard to compete
with the rogues in this branch of the
business, while the temptations to de-
cet}t are so great and the restrictions
are so few that reliable tree-deaGers
are rare, hence this class is to be
avoided. If salesman Claims to be
an agent he should be able to show
papers to THAT effect, and the financial
standing of the firm can be learned at
the bank.
Financial standing is not a proof of
honesty, but it is more or less depend
ent upon business integrity. At any
rate one need not be in hurry to
order trees and cam easily ascertain
the business standing of any firm, es-
pecially the one near home. Agents
very often exceed the authority given
them by the nurseryman and make
Claims and promises which are un
known to their employers.
Insist that all such Claims and
promises be put in writing, with the
name of the firm attached. If this is
refused it is not safe to buy. An or
der is contract and the buyer should
see that it is not so wOrded that tine
nurseryman may substitute ii he
wishes. The nuserymhn often takes
this liberty, hence the words ''no SUBJ
stitution allowed" should be inserted
and another Clause might be enter
ed in the contract which should
specify that list of such articles as
can not be furnished should be sent
to the buyer within two weeks from
the time the order is given. Keep
