It was last year. The harvest is now
being gathered at San Angelo and other
points In West Texas. Fancy peeans OF

for from 8 TO 10 cents per pound, Las,
year the best varieties could be bought
for cents per pound. The pecans OF

scarce, The drouth is believed 10 be the
cause OF the trees not bearing MS heavily
