PROFIT FROM PECANS
Cultivation on Commercial Scale
Is of Recent Date.
Method Of Close Planting Has Been
Found to Give Largest Crops
With Certainty Of Bearing
Each Year.

One OF the great sources of wealth
In Texas is the pecan groves. Roughly
estimated. these groves produce every
year something like four thousand
tons Of marketable nuts, which, when
brought to shipping points, sell for an
average OF ten cents a pound.
The pecan is a native of Texas. but

In commercial scale, however, is Of

ties 40 other tree shows anywhere

The original expense is nominal.
and as the trees are planted twenty
or more feet apart, the same ground

care they need. Grated trees are
planted to produce the large paper
shelled nuts and the most approved
method Is to plant the tree 20x20 feet,
or lbs trees to the acre.
When the trees are two or three
years old they are headed in" to pro-
duce short tree trunks. This facili-
tates gathering, as the nuts can be
gathered from the dwarf trees with
long cane poles.
