COMPLETES 35,000 MILE
TOUR AROUND WORLD
Miami, Fla., Dec. 1.—Eacorted back
to American soil by a fleet of welcom
ing craft which met her several miles
at sea, the 98-foot motor cruiser Spee-
jacks, said to be the smallest boat
ever to circle the globe, slid safety
up to her dock here at noon yesterday
with her party of adventurers, headed
by Albert Y. Gowan, her owner, of
Chicago, and ended a 35,000-mlle voy
age, which began from Miami In Sep
tember, 1921.
At the dock the world wanderers
received a rousing ovation from half
a hundred friends, most of whom saw
them off on their conquest of the seas
more than a year ago, and later
tendered a Thanksgiving banquet’at
a hotel

The boat Is said to have cost $500,000
and 935,000 was expended In outfitting
the party. The Speejacks weighs 64

PECAN CROP THIS
YEAR VERY SMALL
The pecan production for 1922 as
reported by the U. S. Depa\ tment ol
Agriculture is 16. add three tenth
per cent, of a full crop compared with
tenth per cent, of a full crop
last year. The average crop of the
six year has been just one-half
full crop so that the 1922 crop,
although only 15. and onehundred per
cent, of a full crop, is about 30 pel
nt. of the average production.
The averages given above include
the wild seedling crop of Texas Okla
homa and Arkansas which are three
of the heaviest potentially peca n pro-
ducing states. The crops in these
states fluctuate tremendously from
year to year owing to damage
frequently done by late frosts and
depredation by insects. The crop is
very short in these three states this
year. Tho Texas crop is estimated
6 per cent. Oklahoma at 9 per cent
and Arkansas at 12 per cent. The
short seedling crop is responsible for
the low total average for the South.
While the average production of
the pecan for the South is 52. two
tenths per cent, the Georgia averagt
production for the past six yetn 78
per cent, and has the highest average
state. Tho Georgia crop this
year .is estimated to ho about 22 per
cent, of an average crop compared
with last year of 70 per cent, of the
average production. Georgia not only
ranks as the highest in average peca*
production but also lends in the
proportion of pecans that are of in*
proved varieties. Her average in this
respect is 78 per cent compared with
the closest competitor, which is Ala
bama, with an average of 51 per cent
Prices are not as high this year as
the short crop would appear to justify
Last year, on the contrary, the price
held up so high in the face of a fair
crop that the consumption was lessen
ed, which resulted in a carry-over of
nuts in cold storage. Prices to
growers for improved nuts are re
ported to range from thirty-five cents
to fifty-five cents, mostly around
