by No. 8. Three OF the coaches were
hurled into a ditch. A cable to Spring

FINE PECAN FARM j
IN PASQU0TANK
Mr.. F. V. Scott Bids Fair To
Make Much Money From
Project
Especial to The News and oase~er)

Elizabeth City, March 2s-Tha
largest pecan h in the State OF
North Carolina is located about four
miles from Elizabeth City in Pasouo-
tank county. 1t is owned by Z. v
Scott. one of the county's most pro-
gressive farmers and business men.
The farm contains one undre acres
of land and is set with two thousand
pecan trees which will begin bearing
next year Within six years Mr.. Scott
expects TO be enjoying An annual in
come OF ten thousand dollars from
this pecan farm.
bout five years ago Mr.. Scott be-
came interested in pecan culture. He
purchased a farm containing a hun
dred acres in the Four Forks section
of the county. The farm was just ali
ordinary rundown farm. which paid
little in farming enterprises. He con
ceived the idea Of setting out a pecan
orchard and purchased two thousand
young trees of the Steward and Van
Deman varieties and had them set out
in rows through the entire length OF
the farm. Each tree was carefully
set and has been protected and nur-
tured until they have grown into nice
trees, and next year they will bring
forth their first crop of fruit.
Mr.. Scott calculates hat the yield
will increase each year and by the
time that the trees are five years old
er they will be yielding a net profit OF
a dollars per acre. or ten
thousand dollars for the whole farm.
The farm during the past four years
has been carefully cultivated and has
been greatly improved until it is a
paying investment for Mr.. scott and
it can be cultivated for many years
yet, before the trees get big enough to
interfere with.
Mr.. Scott is planning to purchase a
number Of small farms and plant
he will develop and sell to the farm
ers Of this section. 1t looks now as il
Mr.. Scott is going to mak a lot OF
money out Of this industry and also
teach the farmers OF this section how
to make money at the business.
