SUGGESTIONS ON PLANTING THE
PECAN TREE.
Ifit
The pecan has proven itself well
adapted to a very wide range of soils
and climate, thriving upon the rich,
heavy hammock or river bottom land,
and while not making quite so vigor
ous a growth upon pine land, proves
an early and prolific bearer of very
fine quality nuts. Lands ' that will
produce good farm crops will make a
profitable pecan orchard; a soil in
which there is a good subsoil moisture
supply is very essential, as.it takes
the direct influence of water and
plenty of it, to bring the trees to bear
ing size early, as well as to produce
an abundant crop of well-filled nuts.
Moist and fertile vegetable lands are
ideal situations for the young orchard.
The land should be well plowed in
early fall and well harrowed so orch
ard can be laid off in proper shape.
The square method is generally used,
but we advocate the quincunx or tri
angle method as best. It is very
simple and much superior to the old
form, as it enables us to plant a great-
’

er number of trees on a given* area
and at the same time have all exactly
the same distance apart Each tree

tance from six other trees as shown
by the following plat:
Distance for Planting.
On the common grade of lands,
plant 30x30 feet; If on good hammock
or river bottom land, 40 to 50 feet
apart each way. We would be guided
mainly by the condition of the soil,
and what we are phjntin^ for our
selves or those to follow. While the
pecan will sometimes reach a spread
of 70 feet or more, it seems folly to
plant them at so great a distance that
it will take a lifetime or more to
cover. Most of us desire a revenue at
an early period.
Laying Off the Orchard.

WINTERING BEES OUT OF DOORS.
Mr. I. E. Duckett, the gentleman
elected to guide the destinies of the
Whitfield Union during the year 1910 is
a man thoroughly qualified for the po
sition. Although he’ has been a farmer
only a very few years, still he has
studied the work attentively, and now
ranks as one of the most successful
farmers of the county. Up to a few
years ago, he was one of the trusted
engineers of the W. & A. road, and
quit this work to become a farmer, a

question for most localities nowadays,
because such wide lumber is too
high priced. When one has only a

ope can often get boxes from the

wintering cases. In this 1 case I
would not be particular if there was
not exactly three inches of space for
packing material around the outside.
Wintering cases should be painted

As a packing material I have
used pine needles during the last
few years. Wheat chaff makes a
good packing, but since the advent of
blowers on threshing machines, the
chaff is evenly distributed over the
The selection of Mr. Duckett to suc
ceed Mr. Britton was a wise one, and
the chapter is bound to propesper
greatly during his term of leadership.
The union changed its policy greatly
this year, in that practically every
officer elected is a new one. J. W. N.
Bray, the secretary, is the only man
who was re-elected.
Aside from Mr. Duckett and Mr.
Bray, the other officers for the new
year are as follows:
Vice-president, William Bayn; chap
lain, B. H. Trammell; conductor, W. A.
Wayett; doorkeeper, J. W. Smith.
A glance at the names of the new
officers makes all who know them
certain that the next year promises
to be one of the most successful in
the history of the chapter. The offices
have been given to good men, and godd
results are bound to come.

The man can’t tell you; probably he
doesn’t know; but the chances are that inside
of two weeks after Christmas he’ll be coming
in here to buy something he wants that you
could have given him for a present.
Suggestions for Christmas
One of our Hart Schaffner & Marx evening or din
ner suits; every man wants one or both.
Or perhaps a Hart Schaffner & Marx fine overcoat,
for dress, for business, for storm wear; a liberal, use
ful gift.
You might think well of a good business suit;
Hart Schaffner & Marx make the right kind and we
sell them right.
If you decided on such a gift the question of fit
can be easily solved; bring us an old suit or overcoat;
or tell us his size; afterward, if the clothes don’t fit
him right we’ll change or alter them free.
There are many other things for men in a store
like this; not so costly as clothes; quite as acceptable
and useful.
Fine neckwear; rich silks of the best quality;
many fine colorings and patterns.
A great stock of good gloves from the best makers.
And heavier and cheaper gloves for other than dress
wear.
Umbrellas; imported fancy woods, some fneiy sil
ver mounted; a good variety from $1 up.
Sweaters and sweater coats are always accepta
ble; good things here.
Fancy waistcoats for all occasions, for dress or
business wear; some very smart novelties in imported
and domestic fabrics.
Men’s jewelry sets of all sorts; cuff links; dress
and dinner studs; sets in cases, cuff links and pin to
match; full sets with shirt studs and waistcoat but
tons alike.
Suit cases, hand bags, Regal and Stacy Adams
shoes, No Name hats; complete lines.
These are only a few suggestions; we can’t catalogue the whole
stock; come in and see. We issue gift certificates for any amount you
say, or for any merchandise; the recipient of your gift can do his own
choosing. Any goods yor buy in this way are on approval, and may be
returned and money refunded, if you choose.
