TO RAISE PEcANS
C0MPAUv. ORGANIZED AT rHoRsBY
 FOR THIS.
The Capital Stock is sl0oyooe and is Believed te 8e the Largest Horticultufnl Undertnk-
 ing I'm State.

Horticulture in the vicinity of Thors- by has been given a further stimulus as Indicated by the notice to the Sec retary of State yesterday that q cor poration had been formed with Thors- by as headquarters capitalized at s10o.- 900. to be known as the Alabama Pe- can Growers Company.
 This is believed to be the largest corporation for truck growing ever or- ganized in the State of Alabama. The purposes for which the company has been organized are stated in the
 notice filed with the Secretary of State as follows: ITO grow oceans, sell and
 dispose of the same. and to plant. cul- tivate and maintain other trees and products; to purchase and own other property necessary for the business of
 the corporation.
 The incerporators are c. ". Jacobs, T. E. Peterson. D. H. Thomas and W. P, Sterling.
 Thorsby has been famous many years for being one of the really great truck centers of the state. and the work of the organization just launched Is ex- pected to add to her fame in this re- gard. It Is hoped that the oceans of that neighborhood will equal the mag nificent peaches that have gone to the
 Northern and other markets out of Thorsby.
