DANGER OF AN OVERPRODUC-
TION OF PECANS?
BY w. N. HUT.

In noting the extending area Of
pecan planting and the large and
numerous orchards being set the
question naturally arises, is there any
danger Of the pecan business being
overdone and Of there being a Sc
rious glut Of the nut market in the
future?
Pecan paintings have been SO
heavy in the asst few years that nur-
Serymen have not been able to keep
up with the demand for trees. Last
fall the supply of trees was sold out
SO early in the season hat it was
quite impossible to purchase any Of
the newer varieties for testing. Most
Of the commercial pecan orchards set
out a decade 6 are now bearing,
yet one never sees on the general mar
ket the products of these orchards.
Take, for example, the Stuart. |
have never yet found it possible to
purchase this nut in the open market,
yet this is a p~recocious and productive
variety and n that is very widely
planted. The pecan nuts Of certain
new varieties produced up to the
present time a all gone to special
customers at fancy prices.
From the way in which the prod
ucts of budded trees are snapped up
early in the eas it looks as if it
would be some time before there
would be sufficient to satisfy the fancy
trade, let alone the general nut mar
ket. The pecan nuts Of the general
trade come mostly from wild seed
ling trees. This natural product will
doubtless diminish rather than in
crease as it meets the competition
of the highest class product from nut
orchards Of budded and grated trees
being planted every year.
1t is an interesting fac hat in spite
of the increase of nut paintings and
the increased production Of nuts OF
all kinds in h United States, thai
our imports Of nuts and nut product:
have bee steadily increasing yeal
after year. The past year more thar
fourteen and a half millions of dol
lars worth of nuts were sold.
In the fact of these figures it doe
not look much like a threatened over
production of pecans for a long i'm,

use of oceans for confectionery. cul
