the ground. Furthermore, the season
at which the machine is operated is
too late to make it effective.
Another scheme the college men
found, or heard of, was a poison be-
ing sold at S. a gallon. The agent
was so sure it would do all he claimed
for it that he merely collected 81 at

call for the remaining So next fall,
providing it proved satisfactory.
There is only one sale way to deal
with these devices-don't buy any of
them. 1t appears reasonable to sup
pose that if any effective method Of
fighting the weevil could have been
invented during the last twenty-five
years, the United States Department
Of Agriculture or the state college
would have found it. Every plan that
appeared at all practical has been in
vestigated and thoroughly tested and
none have been adopted or recommend
ed up to date. If farmer does not
know how to proceed he should write
the State College of Agriculture and
ask for advice or instructions, which

ones l would say: If you can not
see then just listen soon to the peariy
beauties falling and to the growing
pains of the growers bank accounts;
and listen to this: the many and
large crops in this section have al
ways been bought up at very remun-
eratiVe prices. In other words, good
people, the pecan crop of South Geor-
gia has been cornered; and no one
would have the temerity to try to
run a corner in any commodity except
ing it be a good commodity; and this
thing has been accomplished by a
man who has been growing and buy
ing and selling pecan nuts the longest
of anybody; he is not a tender foot,
but an old seasoned veteran who
knows the possibilities OF the nut
market better than almost any one.
He knows from long experience that
the pecan market is broadening with
tremendous possibilities. He knows
that it is recognized as the finest
nut on earth and that they are al
ready a substitute in many homes
for meats He knows that the sup
ply Of beef cattle is rapidly running
behind the demand in consequence
of which meat prices are soaring
out Of reach Of the man OF mod
crate means; land that this was tax
ing place long before the war; He
knows that pecans are not perish
able, bat that he can store ard hold
them and thus keep the market
equaiiled and stabaliled at all times.
He knows that men Of means are
beginning to buy 100 to 200 pounds
Of pecans at time for family use be-
cause they will keep and the women
folk say they are so choice and so
handy for desert, and other things.
And last. bat not least, he knows that

the actual and practical side, the
marketing side, OF pecans because
that is the end that has in it either
a sting or & blossom; and / want
the people of South Georgia to know
that with pecans the end is bios

dwelt upon it because we used to

since people see how the large crops
Of nuts disappear, and every year dis

PECAN VERSUS BOIL WEEVVIL.
BY WIN. P. BULLARD,
Secretary National Nut Growers Asso-
citation.

South Georgia was and is a great
cotton country. 1t is probably the
cream of the south's cotton belt. It
has given employment to thousands
and filled the banks with gold; but as
all things made by the hand OF man
are subject to change so now has
King Cotton been dethroned by the
boil weevil. The coming Of this in
sect pest has been advertised for sew
eral years and now it is here. 1t is
now a reality and must be reckoned
with, and the farming system in
south Georgia must undergo a change.
We all agree upon the one point of
diversifcation, which means to plant
moderately of many things and not
all cotton as formerly, but rs to what
this list OF diversity shall consist of
none OF us full agree, Some will go
in for stock raising, some for grain,
others for fruit and so on. My
purpose in writing this article is to
call your attention to pecans

passes through three successive pc
RODS; first, incredulity and antag-
onism; second. tolerance; third. 1--WE
have always believed it." Now it
would seem that pecans have been
known so long in South Georgia and
have so amply proved their worth
that everybody should now be in his
third stage of pecan experience; but
now and then we are surprised TO meet
a doubling Thomas" Kittens get
their eyes open in nine days but it

than nine years and have not yet

the plant should be allowed to ma
ture, which stage of maturity is in
dicated in most varieties when the
leaves are brown and the pods well
filled. The crop should be cut and
stacked to dry in the field after which
they are ready for thrashing.
Thrashing may be done with the
grain thrasher, if no special machine
is available. The yields for hay vary
from one to three tons per acre, while
the grain yields range from twenty
to thirty bushels per acre. AS high
as fifty bushels per acre has been re
ported from the state of North Car
DINA.
This is a splendid crop for the cot
ton farmer, because it has high agri-
cultural as well as commercial value.
1t is a summer legume and soil build
er, which may be used for hay or
grain. 1t may also be used in mix
lures with corn for silage or hog
girg down purposes. 1t promises to
be a valuable source of oil and fat
to supply the trade with vegetable
oil for food for man and feed for the
different kinds of live stock.
The cake remaining after the oil
is pressed out is a rich feed for
live stock and can be used as cot
ton seed meal.

we'll and bear so wen down here In
Gods country" and the nuts do so
well that those who know most about
the business are straining every nerve
and working overtime to plant moro
acreage. When you see men wanting
to- get out of their business then be
careful; but when you see them want
ing to get in deeper. then you need
not hesitate but jump in, the waters
fine"
There are some pecan orchards in
the Albany section under ten years
of age that $1,000 per acre would not
buy. l have one which know will
pay me a good rate of interest on a
Valuation of $1,000 per acre when 1t is
ten years Of age; and it will increase
in productiveness for. many years
thereafter. Can you@beat 1t. Think It
over.
The Battle Creek Sanitariurn, at
Battle Creek, Mich, lis the greatest
institution of it's kind in the world
and uses nuts to the exclusion Of
meats l am in receipt of recent
letter from DR.. J. H. Kellogg, super
intendent Of that famous sanitariuu.
dealing with the food merits Of the PEI
can DR. Kellogg says:
"Ycu ask my opinion with reference
to the pecan. l regard it as one OF
the very finest of natures choice pro.
ducts. A pound OF pecans contains
more nourishment rnan any other
known food pound OF pecans con-
tains as much protein as half pound
of meat, as much fat as three-fourths
of q pound of butter and as much
starch and carbohydrate as one
fourth of a pound of bread; that
pound of pecans is the equivalent of q
pound and half of other highly con-
centrated and nourishing food. In
comparing total values, pound Of
pecans is worth, in nutritive value,
two pounds Of pork chops. three
pounds of salmon, Two and d half
pounds OF turkey or Ave pounds Of
veal ~
IAN acre OF land planted ia Pc
cans will produce from four TO ten
times as much nourishment as one
acre planted in any other food crop.
Do not plant varieties that have little
or no commercial value even though
they be jumbo in size. And first OF
all do not plant them in waste places
to take care Of themselves; you would
not plant peach or orange trees that
way and expect them to do anything,
would you? But as that orchard Of
pecans will ultimately pay you moro
net profits than any other plot Of
ground you have Of two to ive times
its size, thea plant it in choica place
with choice varieties and give It
choice care so that in after years it
may respond like the caress to the
child and repay you d thousand fold,

THE FAMOUS FULLER SISTERS
TO APPEAR HERE.

No announcement of the present
season has been more welcome than
that of the coming engagement OF the
celebrated Dorothy, Rosalind and Gym
thia Fuller. whose folk songs of Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland have charm
ed two continents. Four years ago the
three sisters, who nailed from Dorset,
England, came to- America to give a
series of six educational recitals of
folk songs So tremendous was tt sir
success that they were forced to re.
main in America, not only throughout
that entire season, but also until late
in August. Each season shows that
their vogue has : -wn 10 such an ex-
tent that they have been forced to
make long tours to satisfy the ever
growing demand fer this charming, un.
effected and unusual recital. The
Misses Fuller is that they learned
these adorable folk songs in their
childhood and they sing them as natur.
ally as do the peasants and nursemaids
of old England. Much charm is added
by the Misses Fuller appearing in
early Victorian costumes, while the
Accomplishments are played upon the
quaint aud 9aintiye Irish harp. Their
songs rang rom romance to tragedy,
with songs of the she herd, fisherman
and songs of war. The Misses Fuller
have appeared by special invitation
several times at the White House, and
only last summer were invited to APP
pear before President Wilson and his
family at Shadow Lawn. Their com.
ing to this city g being eagerly looked
forward to and will doubtless prove
one of the brilliant features of the
present season. The Misses Fuller ap
pear heae on Jan. 25, Thursday under
me auspices o. Monday Music Club.
