San Antonio is on the eve Of her

shade trees.
Pecans are ripening, and the earlieH

pecans on earth.

years ago, recognizing the beauty and
value of pecans, planted them here

T. II. Ridgeway, president of the Texas
Pecan Growers Association. They also
furnish greater returns on the invest

Mr.. Ridgevay has a grove Of about
1000 trees, of which approximately 60
per cent are bearing. From them DUR
ing the past season he sold $1,000
worth. Income increases and expense
decreases from year to year, he says.
Texas is the home of the pecan and
the United States Department of
Agriculture says there are 5O,000,OUO
trees bearing. Texas always leads the
world in production.
In 1907 Ernest Fellbaum planted q
