there were five chairs to the table. but
even if only two were being used no
one had the right to withdraw one of
the vacant chairs without the most
elaborate apologies. This is the law of
courtesy in Barscheit. In America it
is different; if you see anything you
want, take it.
Presently one of the officers-I knew

Nut Growing Industry of the South.

Nut growing is comparatively
new industry in the south Atlantic
and Gulf states, but it promises to de-
velop into one of the most important
in that section" said J. T. Reid,
prosperous planter Of Florida THE
most popular nut is the pecan and its
popularity is probably due to the de-
velopment of systematic methods Of
grading it and cracking it with ma
chnery 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
er than the supply and many planters
are now turning their attention to the
nut raising industry. 1t is not un-
common for tree to bear as high az
200 pounds of nuts in one season and
most of these sell at from 60 to 20
cents pound. 1t does not require
much figuring to show that the, pecan
