SOUTHWEST GEORGIA
HOME OF THE PECAN
NUTS SHIPPED IN CAR LOAD
LOTS, AND QUANTITIES ARE
MARKETED IN EUROPE.

The Augusta Chronicle of recent
date contained an Interesting article
from n. L. Willett on the pecan in
dustry of this section of Georgia, III
which he said:
Zone who goes through south Geor-
gia finds a pecan status that is simply
incredible to up-country people. They
believe these pecan stories are all pro-
moter stories Tell them that one man
in south Georgia has become million
aire through the selling OF peCans, as
is the fact, and they wouldn't believe
YOU: tell them that not long since an
estate had to be closed out and that
LOO acres of fve-year-old pecans sold
for $500 an acre, and they wouldn't
believe it. There are practically no pc
can areas in south Georgia today for
sale | know one man who is support
ing his family on 20 acres of pecans
II years old.
Immense Pecan Areas.
From Smithville, Ga, to the FlOri-
da line there are something like 800
900 acres in peCans. Around BaCOnton
there are about 100000 acres. Around
Thomasville there are large areas.
These people grow hogs and cattle
along with pecans. They inter-crop in
the early years any crop-velvet beans,
corn, peanuts, etc. When the trees
grow quite tall they usually use COW
peas. Many of them Craze hogs and
cows on these inter-croppings. 1t takes
about Is trees per acre. Trees i'll south
Georgia commence bearing a little bit
at four years and ten or eleven year
old tree may make all the way from
one hundred and fifty to three hundred
pounds per acre. Today these big nuts
are selling for about 90 cents. They
are shipped out i'll car lots not only
throughout America but through Eu-
rope and there are large south Geor-
gia cracking factories which supply
the confectioners with the cracked
nuts and there are cold storage plants
in which to keep them.
"Pecans do not have toNbe sprayed;
they are not perishable, and the pecan
cars do not have to be iced. One simply
picks them up as they fall from the
tree and the whole industry, as COM
pared with peaches say, is an easy
proposition. And let me say that three
fourths of the pecan nurserymen have
sold out all stocks this year. The man
who puts off buying pecan trees until
winter will find none whatever"

HARD WINTER SURE
SAY WEATHER WISE
DUE FOR ANOTHER ARCTIC
PERIOD, DECLARE THE
WEATHER PROPHETS.

Weather prophets here and in other
sections of the state who base their
prophecies on homeIy observations Of
nature, forecast a hard winter. Squir
rels, they say, are gathering larger
stores OF nuts than usual. Corn husks
are thicker. Fur bearing animals have
heavier pelts. There is more moss on
the northern side of trees. Birds that
winter in the north have warmer coats
of feathers And so on, through the
whole familiar gamut.
May Be More Nuts.
These may or may not be facts, &C
cording to the observer accuracy OF
conception, it is pointed out here. And
of the facts are as studied it need not
be accepted without question that the
interpretations are true.
If squirrels are gathering more
nuts, it may be because there are more
nuts to gather" said well-known
citizen, "or there is finer weather for
the work. Summer and fall weather
may account for the protective COW
ering now i'll vogue i'll the fields and
woods. There is no convincing evidence
that either plants or animals have any
such prescience as the goosebone as
sign to them. Their growth, sartOrial
styles and customs of work and play
are probably natural reaction to con-
ditions from day to day-shaped by
l. the present and immediate past rather
than by the future
Unusually Warm So Far.
There are more rational reasons,
though for anticipating a severe win
ter, according to observers here. Me
lteorologists figure it out along two
lines. For one thing, there has been
an unusually warm year so far, and
the total amount of heat i'll any given
twelve months seldom varies much,
so the probability is i'll favor of cold
winter to even things up.
For another thing, it has been OBJ
served that winters get into the habit
of alternating between warm and cold
and are likely to keep it up for pc
Rod of about ten years. Three or four
periods are on record, it is stated here,
with severe winters following mild
winters in surprising uniformity. They
say that such period seems to have
begun four years ago, with first bit
terly cold one, then a mild one again.
ii there is anything i'll this, according
to one Dawson man I'VE are now due
for another arctic period

Eggs Are Hatched
By Heat From the Sun
Biddy Found CHIPPING in the Nest.
Still Alive and Hearty.

CAMILLA, Ga.-That the suns
rays have been unusually hot and pen
etrating recently has been evidenced in
a good many ways. Mr.. and Mrs J.
NJ. Robertson set a hen some weeks
ago and after several days, according
to usual custom i'll a hennery, fresh
eggs were laid by other hens in the
nest where the hen was sitting. The
original setting of eggs were all hatch
ed out on Saturday night, September
10, and the next morning the mother
hen came off the nest with them, Four
or five eggs were left in the nest, and
thinking they were not good Mrs.
Robertson thought no more OF them
until Wednesday, when going to the
nests to get fresh eggs she heard a
chicken peeping in the abandoned nest.
She took it in the house and by after
noon the chick was strong enough to
be put with the flock. Abandoned in
the nest three days and a half the lit
tie chick would surely have persisted
had not old Sol come to its assistance.

wark cathedral in London have not
