It Is the Nut Growing Center-
Particular Attention to Be Paid
to Pecan Growing—Expert Nut
Growers to Be Present.
Chairman J. B Wight, of Cairo,
has issued a call for the ninth an
nual convention of the National Nut
Growers’ Association which will be
held in Monticello, Florida, Novem
her 1, 2 and 3, 1910.
As a nut-growing center, there
, are few places more interesting than
Monticello. There are more and
larger nut nurseries at that place
Ulan at any other in the world. In
arid around the city there are at
least two thousand acres of orchards,
most of them being budded and
grafted trees. Some of the oldest
seedling pecan trees east of the Mis
sissippi river are growing about the
homes of the city.
To those, therefore, who are in
terested in nut growing in anv of
its phases, there can be no more at
tractive place than Monticello, and
certainly no better time to visit >t
than the above, when the nut crop
&$4his year will be ripening; and
nut growers from almost every nut
growing state will bo present.
Monticello has already begun to
work and plan for the entertain
ment and amusement of her guests
No wide-awake nut grower can af
ford to miss, this meeting.
While more particular attention
■will be paid to pecans,yet the range
oi discussions will include all nuts
r--. ■
that are commercially profitable.
Expert nut growers from all parts
of the country will be present, and
a program is being prepared that
will cover practically all phasqs of
the subject. Particular interest will
attach to the report of the commit
tee on Varietal Adaptation. This
committee was appointed at the last
annual convention, and is diligently
at work making investigations as to.
the best varieties of nuts suited to
euch section. To meet and talk
with the oldest and most progressive
nut growe.s of the country, will-be
well worth the'trip to Monticello.
Opportunitiy will be afforded all
visitors to see the nurseries and or
chards in and around the city. The
local committee on arrangements is
also planning to make the socia
features of the convention memora
ble.
Grady Produces Fine Pecans.
found for
No better land can be
growing pecans than the soil of
Grady, which is not an experiment,
as can be seen on every hand.
The nuts are beginning to fall and
are being placed on the market.
Every variety is successfully
grown here and growers have met
with the very best success.
The nurseries are unable to sup
ply the market for trees, notwith
standing the nurseries are large,
and thousands of trees are disposed
of annually.
Monticello Will Have
Big County Fair.
Monticello, Fla., is planning to
have a county fair at the same time
of the meeting of the National Nut
Growers’ Association in that city
November 1; 2 and 3'.
A fair was held in Monticello last
year on a small scale as somewhat
of an experiment, and it proved so
successful both financially and in
the character of exhibits that it was
decided to i’^pbat it this year on a
larger scalo.

Although Friday was threaten
ing and it finally did rain for two
hours, the audience that greeted
Bishop Morrison was quite large
and represenative. Perhaps, three
hundred and fifty gathered at the
church coming by buggies wag'
ons, P. & H. and a half. dozen
autos. Cairo had about thirty
represenatives and Whigham had
a respectable delegation. The
people were there from Donald-
sonville, Thomasville, 1 Havana
Hinson, Fla., and other places
A choir of fourteen young
ladies under the leadership of
Mrs. Marvin Herring, as organist
led the singing in which the au
dience joined with hearty good
will. Rev. Mr.. Ratcliffe made
the opening prayer, being called
upon by Bishop Morrison in the
following words: “Inasmuch as
Bro. Ratcliffe was, in one sense,
originator of your church, I will
ask him to lead'the prayer. ”
Bishop Morrison introduced his
very excellent and impressive
sermon, a report of which is given
elsewhere in this issue, with a
statement that he had decided
not to preach a regular dedication
sermon, and as he would, pro
bably, never have another oppor
tunity to speak to then again, he
wanted, out of a full heart to talk
about life and its meaning and
how to make the most of it. For
one hour, with an impressiveness
and'an eloquence seldom heard,
terest, the closest attention of his
hearers.'
It was a great sermon' and a
great occasion improved 1 in a
splendid manner.
The simple, but impressive
dedication sermon of the Metho
dist church, followed the sermon
and the church building at Cal
vary was set apart, from all un
holy and unhallowed uses, for the
worship of the Almighty God.
Among the ministers who partici
pated in the service were, Revs-
Dr. Williams:Kerr, of Quitman;
Ratcliffe and Towson, besides
Bishop Morrison. <.
After the dedication service, a
most sumptous repast was served
by the ladies of the church. A,
more bounteous dinner has sel
dom been seen. The hundred
foot table simply groaned under
the weight of fried chicken, boiled
ham, chicken pie, salads, pickels,
pies, dozens of courses and many
other toothsome viands; The
only trouble with the dinner was
that it was amply sufficient for
seven hundred people instead of
the three hundred and fifty who
enjoyed it.
A little after dinner, the peo
ple began to disperse, Bishop
Morrison and Dr. Williams going
in Dr. Mallette’s auto, with the
doctor and his son, to Thomas
ville. The Cairo delegation left
by the P. & H. reaching home a
little after five o’clock with re
collections of a pleasant and pro
fitable day, -one long to be re
membered.
