Nut Growing in Georgia.
Savannah News.

Nut growing in Georgia is a practi-
cally new industry. 1t is only about
eight years old, counting from the
time of the first organization of the
growers for mutual benefit The four
charter members were planters of a
few pecan trees They had faith in the
possibilities of the section in the pro-
duction of pecans and by their en-
thusiasm induced others to take up
nut culture
The result is that today. within a
radius of seventy-five miles there are
more pecan trees than in any other
like area in the world
This is on the authority of the pres
ident of the association, who knows
what he is talking about And the
South Georgia pecans are as fine as
any grown anywhere on the globe
The soil and the climate are precisely
suited to the pecan, and the crop is
practically an assured one There
are no "off years" in Georgia for Pc
cans. The nuts come as regularly as
the seasons roll around
From a small beginning nut produc-
ton in this section has become an
important industry, bringing many
thousands of dollars into the State
each year There is a constant and
growing demand for good nuts al
profitable prices.
The distribution has been so system
atized that sales are always prompt
There is no Cutting of the market
and consignments are not reported il
bad order for reasons that the pecan is
a hardy shipper that does not spoil il
very long time. The pecan industry
in short, is now established upon {
permanent basis in this section. The
trees require comparatively little at
tention and respond gratefully t.
whatever care is given them.
Every farmer in Georgia might have
and ought to have, a dozen, fifty or
hundred pecan trees about his place
Back yards, fence jambs-any OLE
PLACES good for pecan trees, if it L
not convenient to have nut grove
and every nut tree is a pleasure ant
source of profit to it's owner.

STATE MAY SELL COTTON
OR HOLD FOR Is CENTS

Atlanta, Oct. 1S.-The State Prison
Commission is debating the question
as to whether it should sell 100 bales
of cotton raised on the State Farm and
now ready for market at Is 1-2 cents,
or hold it for Is cents. The cotton if
sold now would bring the state about
$67 500 and save further insurance and
interest. The commission is strongly
tempted to sell and will probably de-
eide the matter next week.
