PECAN CULTURE IS
A GREAT SUCCESS

In conversation a few days ago
with Rev. L. E. Hall in reference to
pecan culture and production in the
Hattiesburg territory, Mr.. Hall said
that pecans would grow as well here
as they do on the coast He stated
that he had made number of observa-
tions along this line and knew what
he said was correct.
As an instance of pecan culture, he
stated that four years ago, Mr. F. W.
Foote put out a small pecan plant,
that 1t had shown splendid growth and
was full Of pecans.

done well, as they bring good prices
and are money-makers, Mr.. Hall is of
the opinion that the planting of poem
orchards in and around Hattiesburg
would within few years, prove
source of great revenue.
Considering the fact that pecans
grow so well here and are such a
profitable product, the people of this
section ought to engage extensively in
its culture. There would be more
profit in it than either cotton, corn or
truck
