The increasing neccessity for an
unobstructed crossing through the
yard of the Central RR, below the
freight depot becoming more appar¬
ent every day. It was ordered that
the Centred ruilrod company be re¬
quested to tunnel the embankment
at Fourth street as soon as possible.
This will give a much needed crossing
under the road there. As it now is
and is presented the council, the
constant switching of trains during
the day do not leave open a single
crossing from Westbrook’s to Hill
street, the greater part of the time.
The committee on sanitary police

PECAN
A Macon <
The New* has already mentioned
that Mr. Ed Huguenin, of Macon, has
entered largely into pecan culture on
his Southwest Georgia plantation.
Mr. Hugueuin’s enterprise was
brought to the attention of some of
the Ohio excursionists who were here
last week and they were greatly in¬
terested in the subject. One of the
Ohioions has a brother living in Mis¬
sissippi who recently wrote him as
follows: In 18811 planted, at my
tan yard miles west of this town,
a quantify of pecan nuts, cultivated
the ground and kept it free of weeds,
and in the winter of 1882 I trans¬
planted to my home, here in town,
thirteen of the young trees. All of
them have lived, thrived and borne
fruit; are now from 85 to 40 feet in
height and from 80 to 36 inches in
circumference. They branch out at
an average of about two feet from
the ground. These thirteen trans¬
planted trees commenced bearing
four years after being transplanted—
that is to say at the^gs of six years;
have borne an increased crop each
succeeding year, and are now ae
healthy, thrifty and vigorous in ap¬
pearance as any forest trees. The
crop of 18$9 was a good one, the
nuts of better size and flavor than
those we usually find for sale in
stores. My faith in pecan culture,
based upon my experience as above,
is such that I have planted an or¬
chard of six and a half acree, the
trees being now from three to five
years old, planted equi distant thirty-
three feet. Ido not expect them to
hold off until twelve years old before
paying me a fair rent.
The following statement by a
Floridian last night may interest Mr.
Huguenin. Said the visitor: “The
pecan is a very hardy, long-lived,
healthy tree, valuable for lumber,
and yielding at maturity a heavy
crop of nuts which will always have
a high commercial value. The pop¬
ular belief as to its tardiness in com¬
ing to the bearing age is not well
founded; under ordinarily favorable
circumstances and fair treatment it
will bloom at six years and begin to
bear at seven. I do not deem the
preservation of the tap-root es¬
sential. About a half mile east of
my place there are several pecan
trees about fifteen years old; they
have been in bearing about eight
years, and are annually increasing in
yield, although planted much too
close together.”
Mr. Huguenin expects to realize
ooartdemMS preinftvm him pecans.
It has been doubted if the pecan
could be brought to full maturity
and sweetness in Georgia. Mr.
Huguenin may find encouragement
in this example of successful pecan
growing near Callahan. The seeds
were planted by Col. Maxwell in the
spring of 1870, and the trees first
bloomed in 1876. I quote asfollowa:
The eleven trees stand mostly beside
the road, and nearly half their nuts
drop into the road and are eaten by
the swine. The owner is almost con-
tinously absent, and his wife said she
had induced the children, by a good
deal of coaxing and threatening, to
gather up abeut tea barrels, for
which she got $15 a barrel. By dint
of much perseverance, at different
times, she got them to gather the
nuts under one particular tree stand¬
ing back from the road until they
had picked up about two barrels.
The whole matter of harvesting was
managed with that utter shiftless¬
ness which characterizes most farmers
in respect to any other crop than
grain or cotton. We looked around,
and could have picked up a bushel
on the ground in a short time. Here,
then, were eleven trees sixteen years
old turning off $150 worth of nuts,
gathered by young children, who
certainly let a third of the total
crop go to waste, if not half.
