Pecan Industry of Grady County.
One of the growing industries
of Cairo and the surrounding
country is pecans. Mr. J. B.
Wight whose ad will be found
elsewhere in this issue was the
pioneer pecan grower in this
section. At the time that he
began to grow pecans there was
no such thing as a budded or
grafted tree on the market.
After [looking into the matter
very thoroughly, Mr. Wight de
cided that in the long run a
pound of pecans could be grown as
Mr. Wight has some old bearing
trees and others which are com
ing into bearing every year.

come here from a distance to
visit his nursery and orcharus.
The most noted pecan'treein this
section, and one among the best
known in all the pecan belt, is
a budded Frotscher tree which
stands in Mr. Wight’s garden in

C.ooke is a dentist, in the fullest
sense of the word, equal as a
practitioner to the best to be
found in any city of the land.
A natural born mechanic, there
is nothing in the mechanical de
partment of dentistry that he is
not equal to: bridgework; crown
work; pivot work; the building
up of broken teeth; the construc
tion of artificial teeth on a natur
al foundation; plate work of all
kinds, rubber and gold; clasp
work; Alexander work; dummy
structure; everything. In skill
in the filling of decayed teeth,
with either amalgam or gold, he
has no superior. There are dozens
of people living in various sec
tions of this country, today, who
can show teeth in a perfect state
of preservation that he filled,
from twenty to nearly forty
years ago. But in saying this
much, the half has not been told
He is also, so to speak, a natur

with him as an adept in the ex

other practitioners less well in

straightening out irregular,
crooked, crowded teeth; in cur

treating diseased gums and ul

he often cures Riggs’ disease, or
pyorrhoea—a trouble that the

What a prodigy! yiu exclaim.
No, he is just a plain, common
every-day sort of man with plain,
common sense, that he uses to

learned to use it in forty-six
years of constant, successful
practice. And his prices, for

planting. This has increased
from time to time until* now Mr!
Wight has 200 acres in nursery
and orchards.
Since he began planting, the
art of budding and grafting pe
can trees has been learned. In
this way trees that bear large
nuts and more abundant crops
are secured, and consequently
the business is much more profir
table than then. Mr. Wight has
frequently remarked that he
knows nothing that is more
promising in the horticultural
and agricultural fields than pecan
trees properly grown. But he
adds, further, that if trees are
neglected, that money may be
thrown away in this as well as in
any other business that has no
attention.

Cattle Raising In Grady.
Cattle raising in Grady county
is taking shape along lines that
promise permianent and abiding
success. Mr. W. B. Roddenbery
and Dr. Eugene Clower are the
pioneers in this line. After " a
scientific study and investigation,
they are using the means and
methods that are used by success
ful cattle raisers elsewhere, and
they have already realized that
there is good money in cattle arid
that the business can be conduct
ed as profitably here in Grady
county as elsewhere.
We may mention also tjiat the
raising of mules for farm work
is being undertaken by many in
Grady county. Some have al
ready found out that a Grady
county raised mule is as good as
a Kentucky raised mule, or a
Missouri raised mule, and more
than a hundred dollars cheaper.
We want to say here and now
'that it is high time that the
farmers of Georgia realized.that
they are paying more than the
entire profit on their cootton
crop for mules. Raise your own
mules and put this profit in your
pockets
