saoo AN ACRE FROM PEcANs.
But It's the Paper sheIls-And They
 Are Scarce and Costly.

At De Witt, Ga. some ten or twelve miles from Albany. there lives a quiet. elderly gentleman who goes about his daily work with a contented smile and unassumingly pursues the even tenor of his way.
 This quiet man is today the great est orrhardist in his line in all Ameri ca. says d writer in Progress; he has shown the way for thousands of farm CTS to raise a crop on each acre of their lands which will increase their net in come by Se00 an acre vet without in~ tcrfering with the usual crops planted on these acres.
 The man is G. NJ. Bacon, the crop oceans Commercially the pecan is a wonder. one strong fact in favor of the pecan is that although the trees do not bear fully before they are five to seven years old, the grove owner putting out oceans docs not have to wait for them to bear to have a revc- nuc, as cotton. corn. peas and other crops. are planted between the rows and bring the same returns as when planted alone. A pecan tree begins t6 bear profitable crops in five to seven years after transplatinG from the nursery. although some 'bcar within three to four years.
 The present price of paper shell pe- can nuts in any part of the United States is s1 pound. However. for tho sake of extreme conservatism, figuring the sales at only 50 cents a pound gives a return of s20o an acre. This is net. as all necessary cultivation is secured from that given the cotton. corn, peas, or other crops always planted between the rows of oceans
 Another fact in the pecan's favor is that each year after the seventh the tree bears moro heavily. after eight year the yield being probably thirty pounds instead of twenty tree After the eighth year an increase of from ten to thirty pounds a tree in yield will take place. The total cost of gathering. packing and getting ready to ship oceans is only one and one half cents a pound. a.
 The use of the pecan is luxury for the table, in candies. as an oil and as a staple food product is growing mar vellously in this country and in Mex leo, although as yet it is practically unknown in Europe.

Whereas, this board has recently re-
celved as a cash consideration, in addi-
ton to the royalties promised, for por-
tions of such lands leased to various
parties who propose to develop the same
for. minerals, a sum in excess of one
hundred and twenty thousand ($I2o,ooo)
dollars; and,
Whereas, the present development
makes the belief almost certain that the
royalties from oil accruing to this board
under its existing contracts will in a
short time produce revenues sufficient to
retire its bonded Indebtedness, enable it
to reduce its taxation and at the same
time to complete and maintain its levee
system, besides enabling it to do such
other work of public improvement as it
may be authorized by law to undertake;
and,
Whereas, it has a great number of
hundreds of acres yet Unbiased; and,
Whereas, in the opinion of this board,
the oil industry in Caddo Parish has
been of untold benefit to the people of
the parish and promises to bring great
future wealth to its people; now, there
fore,
Be it resolved, by the Board of Com
missioners of the Caddo Levee District,
that we do protest against the enactment
of any such laws by the General Assem-
bly, of this State as will harass, hinder
or seriously impede the free production
of oil in the Caddo oil field and that in
our opinion, any law which will prohibit
the escape of gas from wells which pro-
duce oil in paying quantities, or which
would prohibit the use of gas for flow
ing oil in paying quantities from any
well, would so result; and, therefore,
we respectfully petition the General AS
sembly not to enact such laws as have
been suggested along these lines.
