TlHE THIS SUMNER

The State College of Agriculture
has planned to hold a number of far
mers' institutes during June, July and
August throughout a greater part of
the state. Three teams of men will
cover as many different routes, hold
ing Institutes each day at some place.
This is the summer work Of the staff
Of the college Of agriculture, follow
ing the close of the school session.
Subjects will be discussed at these
meetings that touch the present and
future welfare of the Georgia farmer.
The men are sent ont for the informa-
ton that they can carry to the farmer.
The farmer is invited to make use of
them to the fullest advantage by ask
ing questions and calling attention to
any local agricultural problems. Each
man in HIS line, win be glad to answer
every question possible, especially
those that are practical and have to
do with the needs Of the locality in
which the institute is being held.

the occasion of his second visit that

given, are being frequently received.
If any farmer thinks that what

he is urged to go to the meetings and
prove it. While not infallible, the

Sunbeam cotton which has been

The Pecan Country.

The Pecan Country.
The pecan is unequaled BY any
other American nuttearing tree as
a commercial investment. It is
known and admitted by all careful
Investigators to have no superior
and few equals in the long list Of
nut~growing trees. Because OF its i'm
trinsic worth pecan culture is destin-
ed to assume front rank III the list
Of our cultivated fruits.
Especially is true of the Cotton
Belt of the South-the natural home
of the pecan. The day is rot far
distanced when you viii ask fC + and
recognize Frotcher's egg-shell, Stu
art, Van Deman, and other leading
varieties of pecans as Familiarity as
you now ask for and recognise a
certain variety Of apple, grape,
orange, etc.
Peeans are sold in large quantities
in our markets. Nearly all of these
are the products Of the meritorious
Dudded and grated pecan trees It
prices ranging from rs cents to 81
per pound.
The demand for alb grades Of pc
cans has increased over 400 per cent
in ten years. firmly believe that it
will increase the some rem lrkable
proportion in the next ten year,.
The price has increased 100 per
cent in ten years not likely it will
decline very slowly or remain about
where it is now. There are many
reasons for this great increase in
demand and price, but the main
one is due to the natural increase
in wealth and population; to limit
ed area of their grow tn, and to the
greater fact that pecans are now
recognized as foods and not merely
as condiment and luxuries. They
are now entering largely into the
daily diets of our people. According
to analysis the pecan is richer in
fat than any other nut-70 per cent
being fat. It's wholesome, nourishing
and palatable qualities give it "a
very high food value.
The Cotton Belt is the natural
home Of the pecan. Not many peo-
pie realize that this is the case.
They fear the market will be
glutted. But this is no truer of PEI
cans than OF cotton the area is limi-
ted. Because pecans can be grown
successfully nowhere else, the world
must forever look to the South fol
her pecans. AS yet we do not supply
land will not for years, the local
demands, to say nothing Of any for
export.
Without our great natural advan-
tages for developing an industry,
the profits which stagger the ina
gination, our people go over from
year to year temporising with cot
ton and Other unsafe crops which
add no increase value to their lands,
when they could be cultivatiug these
staples between the pecan trees and
at the same time be adding per-
manent increasement to their lands
which would grow in value every
year--Ex.

forces now in that vicinity was plan
ned today at a conference of the con-
stitutlonaist leaders twelve miles
east of Monterey The proposed at
tack it was said, would begin as soon
as the constitutional fores can be
concentrated
Additional details of the fight at
Monterey were brought to this city
today by constitutionalist officers.
The destruction o. several hundred
freight cars and several of the city's
largest buildings by DomDardment
and fire was confirmed. The number
of non eombatants killed in the
fighting according TO the officers has
been greater than the previous cas-
ualties among the troops of either
side. The constitutionalists say that
many OF the wealthier class as well
as number Of the poorer people also
suspected of aiding the rebels have
been killed by federals.
The constitutionalists have had
control of Monterey for three days,
Oct. % "a ard 25 but withdrew
temporarily on the arrival OF the fed
eral reinforcentonts from Victoria
and Saltillo. They claim to lave
captured four cannon, ten machine
guns and several hundred rifles from
the federals.
