Nut Growing Industry of the South.

Nut growing is comparatively new industry in the south Atlantic and Gulf states, but 1t promises to de- veiop into one of the most important in that section" said J. 2. Reid, prosperous planter of Florida. The most popular nut is the pecan, and it's popularity is probably due to the de- velopment of systematic methods of grading it and cracking it with ma chinery operated by steam or electric power. This makes possible the mar keting of the meats of the nut ready for use.
 'The demand is always much great CT than the supply and many planters are now turning their attention to the nut raising industry. It is not un- common for a tree to bear as high as 200 pounds of nuts in one season and most of these sell at from 50 to 70 cents a pound. It does not require much figuring to show that the pecan orchards which abound in some sec tions are paying investments.

 Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts 1 decided to try it. After short time l was satisfied the trouble was not the awful thing I feared but was still bad enough. However, I was relieved of bad case of dyspepsia by chang ing from improper food to Grape-Nuts.
 Since that time my bowels have been as regular as a clock. I had also noticed before I began to eat Grape Nuts that 1 was becoming forgetful of where I put little things about the house, which was very annoying.
 But since the digestive organs have become strong from eating Grape Nuts, my memory is good and my mind as clear as when I was young, and I am thankful" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little booklet, "The Road to We'll ville." in packages. There's reason"
