So Acres Right in the Edge of
Town-20 Acres on the Bailey
Place and 6 Acres Near D. II.
Glberts Residence.

We visited this week the splendid
budded pecan grove of Judge W.
e. Lamar, lying just northeast Of
Monticello and part of it being i'll the
corporate limits. Judge Lamar has
in all about eighty acres in fine pc
can trees, So acres in the grove sit
ed, 20 acres in the Bailey place on
the Waukeenah road and acres near
Mr.. D. II. Gilbert's residence. He his
planted only the finest varieties, such
as the Schley, Stuart, Frotchcea,
Pabst and Delmas. Thirty acres of
these trees are twelve years old and
in active bearing, and the others
soan will be. There are nearly l.
400 trees in all.
In twelve years more Judge La
mars grove should output a quarter
of million pounds year, with ia
vorable seasons. This estimate seems
large, but that will he less than 200
pounds to the tree, while individual
trees here have borne as much as SIX
hundred pounds of nuts at % years
old. He gets so cents pound for
some varieties and sixty-five and sew
enty cents a pound for other va
rieties, Northern and Western ship
ment.
His grove has seven hundred of
tn famous "Schley" trees that bring
the HIGHEST prices of all.
His pecan nursery contains fifty to
sixty thousand young trees and many
thousand budded in 1918, and TWEEN
ty-five thousand, to be budded this
summer. Judge Lamar could not fill
his orders this season.
The bearing trees seem to be each
equal to the other in size, each tree
a model tree. The entire grove and
all the nursery stock have been fer
tilted and plowed out already. The
trees promise large crop Tor 1919
and already are showing a heavy
bloom.
Think of the profit from such a
small piece of ground as eighty acres
but fruit and nut orchards are good
paying property. Our townsman,
Mr.. Simpson, we are told, sold his APP
pies from sixty-acre orchard at Vim
hennes, Ind, for forty thousand dol
lars. The H. M. Flagler orange

bore in 1918, thirty thousand boxes
of oranges which sold for one hun

Growing Children Often Need
Guides Pepto Mangan

Some children grow too quickly
it saps their strength. They lapse
into careless, desultory habits, or de-
velop shrinking attitude. Their
faces look pinched.
The blood becomes cgertaxed by
too rapid growth; and poisons from
the system take the place Of strenth-
giving red corpuacles in the blood.
Red corpuscleS are those little red
particles that swim in the blood and
give it its color. Gradually that child
loses interest in its play.
Poor blood needs the building that
the iron in GUIDES Pepto-Mangan
gives to weakened blood Guides
Pepto-Mangan enriches the blood by
increasing the number of red corpus
