100000 REFUSED FOR
Il ACRES Of PECANS

Mrs. c. W. Gunnels, Of Terrell,
from whose pecan grove of eleven
acres the finest nuts sold in Ameri-
Gus ard other markets nearby are
grown, has recently declined cash
offer Of twenty thousand dollars
for her grove, or very nearly two
thousand dollars per acre.
This is the top prIce offered for
a pecan orchard, and evidences the
value of few acres planted il
trees Of this variety.
The Times Recorder published
recently the offer of $50, 900 for d
grove of eighty acres in Lee county
which the owner, Mrs. Ramsey, is
said to have declined, as she would
not know how to protitably and
safely invest such a large amount.
But the offer for the Gunnels
grove of eleven acres is even better.
This latter grove is now thirteen
years old and consists largely OF
Seeding trees. The nuts are the
largest and finest grown in this
section of Georgia, and the annual
crop is worth ST., 200 to 81, 500.
Americas dealers handle small
portion of her crop and would
gladly get more, such is the de-
mand for the nuts here.
Mrs. Gunnels has on assured in
come from her eleven acres, as the
trees will produce even larger crops
as they grow older,

MORE CORN, LESS COTTON,
ADVICE OF FARMERS UNION

Atlanta, Feb. 24.-Reduce cot
ton acreage, raise more blooded
live stock and produce more food
crops was the doctrine preached
at the Farmers Union yesterday.
Three committees made reports:
the committee on cotton acreage,
the committee on the good of the
order, and the committee on the
amalgamated warehouse move
ment.
The first made strong recommen
dation that the cotton acreage be
reduced to such an extent as to
make the staple a surplus crop.
Increased raising of live stock was
urged AS lucrative line, and the
increased production of food crops
was emphasized as the only logical
and sure way to reduce the appall-
ing cost of living.
So strong has the reduced cotton
acreage sentiment become, that
the committee on the good Of the
order went out of it's beaten path
to make special recommendation to
that effect. One of the points 1T
urges is that "farmers attend 20
their own business. and spend
more time at work." Among it's
other recommendations were; that
the farmers give their entire and
sincere cooperation to the Union,
that they support its officers in
every undertaking, and that they
work to increase the strength of
the order.
The committee reported that the
Union Consolidated Warehouse is
past the experimental stage and is
now an assured success.

Reported That Big Palmer
Schooner Was Wrecked.
VESSEL AT BOSTON NOW
Nathaniel T. Palmer Lost Bowsprit
and This ProbaIy Caused circuIa-
ton of Erroneous Report-News Of
the Shipping.
AIS

A report was received here from
Norfolk yesterday afternoon to the Ell
feet that the big five-masted schooner
Nathaniel I. Palmer, Captain Gard
ner, coalladen from Norfolk August
rs for Boston, had been wrecked off
the New England coast. Her crew
was reported to have been taken of
OF the vessel and safely landed.
An investigation of this report last
night shows that it was in error and
that it evidently was based upon the
fact that the schooner lost her bow
spirit in collision. The steamer ar
rived at Boston Thursday and is re
ported TO be little damaged beyond
the loss of the spirit.
Captain Gardner has many friends
in this city and the report of the
wrecking of the schooner caused them
much anxiety.
