PAPER SHELL
PECAN INDUSTRY
IN THIS COUNTY
SEVERAL DIFFERENT VARIETIES
PRODUCED IN THIS SECTION
AND SOLD AT GOOD PRICES IN
NORTHERN MARKETS.

With the last few years. through the
process of grating, several different
varieties of paper shell pecans have
been produced. There are number
OF groves of these nuts which have
been bearing for the past few years
and the product from these trees. in
places where 1t has reached the large
markets of the north. have been re-
ceived with open hands. These nuts
have brought a price, wholesale, in
the north of from so cents to 81
pound. One dealer in Chicago is now
ready to contract for 400 pounds of
nuts a month at 80 cents pound. One
person in one hundred living in the
northern states has never seen nor
tasted a paper shell pecan.
The English walnut is probably the
best known and used of all nuts, but
they will take second place as soon as
the paper shell pecan is produced in
large enough quantities to supply the
demand. There are thousands of acres
of English walnut groves on the Pa
cific coast that are at present attempt

Wilmington, Del, Sept 5.-FTiends
Of Madeline du Pont, eldest daughter
of Alfred I. du Pont, wealthy powder

her marriage to Max Heibler of Mu-
mich, Germany. Heibler was named by
John Bancroft, Jr., the brides first
husband, as correspondent in divorce
proceedings brought by him early last
year and which attracted wide atten-
ton. An infant of his wife, whom
Bancroft disowned, was made a CO.

granted the young woman went to

DIES IN MOBILE
WELL KNOWN PENSACOLA LADY
SUCCUMBS IN THAT CITY
AFTER AN ILLNESS OF SEW
ERAL MONTHS.

Mrs. John Daugherty. a we'll known
and highly respected Pensacola lady,
where she resided practically all of
her life, died last night at o'clock
in Mobile, where she went about two
months ago for treatment by a spe-
cailist of that city. The sad news of
her death reached Pensacola late last
night by telegraph.
The deceased is survived by five
children and a large number of rela-
tves, as well as many friends. who

The remains will be brought to the

shell than the paper shell pecan and
not as much meat in the nut. They

The paper shell pecan. like the Eng
lish walnut, can only be grown in GER
tain sections of the United States
and there is only a limited area where
they can be grown at a profit.
Growth Natural Here.
North Florida, four years ago, had
more acres devoted to the pecan cu1-
ture than any other state in the union.
and is one of the most natural places
for the growth Of this tree.
Pecan trees (not paper shelD within
thirty or forty miles of Pensacola,
that are in the neighborhood of 100
years old, still bear from 200 to 600
pounds of nuts each year.
At fifty years old a pecan tree is
just reaching maturity and some of
the seeding trees have been known to
bear as high as 600 pounds of nuts in
the season and have sold at IT cents
the crop of one tree, This is, of course,
an exception, but shows what is pos
sible IN this great industry.
AT the National Nut Growers Asso-
citation a part of the presidents adj
dress to the association was as fol-
lows:
The pecan is practically an I'M
known quantity to the people of the
world. This generation and possibly
the next well pass before 1t is likely
that this queen of nuts will be known
to the world. Wherever it has been in
troduced it has held its own. When
the wheat and corn fields cease to be
profitable. when there is no longer
any demand for the heecy staple of
the south, and when the spindles in
our factories cease to turn because
there is no need for their products,
then, and then only will the nut grow
ers fear for their industry
Enormous Possibilities.
The United States Agricultural Bull
letin No. 2 states as follows: The

longevity, it being longer lived than
any nut tree that grows, the facility
with which the nuts are gathered, pre-

growing popularity on the markets of
the world, give it possibilities so en-
ornous that they stagger the mag
nation"
A very conservative estimate of the
production of a paper shall pecan,
based on the actual product of trees
around Pensacola, would be the sixth
year a crop from seventeen trees of
about thirty pounds or an income of
So an acre; the eighth year about 100
pounds, or an income Of $50 an acre;
the tenth year about $50 pounds, or an
income of sos an acre; the twelfth
year about 500 pounds, or an income Of
$50 an acre; the sixteenth year about
/ 200 pounds, or an income of $3.50
an acre. From then on your product
will increase each year and many |
years after that will average an in |
come of over $1.50 a year per acre.
Should paper shell pecans drop in |

which is practically an impossibility, |

third of the above amount, which
would be several hundred per cent each
year on your investment
We are informed by good authority
that an acre of pecans outside of the
price OF the land, can be planted at an
expense of not over 800 per acre.
One of the prominent business men
in Pensacola has in the neighborhood
of 100 acres planted to the paper shell
pecan and it is believed, within the
near future. many acres Of land will
be devoted to this profitable indus
try.
