Perhaps in no better way can be
shown what the pecan actually means
in the way of dollars and cents than
in the case of C. S. Bell. xn aged citi-
zen of Ocean Springs. According to
NV. II. Bouslog of Gulfport, Mr.. Bell
this year gathered from 200 trees
400 pounds of pecans which. he sold
at s5 cents pound. realizing $1,645
for his seasons crop.

after he had passed his Gath year. He
had no means and his two first trees
were gifts. But where there is will

that the pecan meant money and that
an orchard would maintain him in
real old age, he pegged away. and to-
day his orchard Of 200 seven-to-ten-
year-old trees is one of the show
places of Jackson county. Perhaps it
should be stated that when Mr.. Bell
conceived the idea of developing an or

native haunts who ridiculed he idea,
but he has lived to be a practical illus.
tration of the old adage that he who
laughs last laughs best"
But this is not all. His orchard
embraces 16 acres and between the
pecan trees he has cultivated Mexican
clover and crab grass which averaged
one and a half tons of feed stuff to
the acre, for which he received $40
