ARTICLE ON PECANS
IN NEW YORK PAPER
“a tight little package of
GOOD FOOD”—“PACKER”
CALLS NUT.
By W. H. Robinson, President,
Cairo Chamber of Commerce.
In New York Packer.
Centuries ago, before Columbus
had commenced his epoch-making
voyage, the Indian who roamed the
forests and plains of the South had
discovered the delights of the pecan
He called it the paean, and his
knowledge , of its value probably had
been handed down to him from the
dim, forgotten past, For fossilized
remains of both pecan trees and nuts
have been found in m any parts of
the , Southern states, and geologists
declare that these remains date from
the days when giant reptiles terrified
pre-historie man.
^ et, long as is the history of the
pecan, it is curious that even today,
the annual pecan crop of the Unite 1
states is only enough to supply four
ounces of nuts per capita; it will
probably be many years before the
pecan crop is sufficient to supply
this country’s demands, for a pecan
tree takes from ten to 12 years to
produce its first marketable crop.
Every Southern housewife has
among her favorite dishes of which
pecans form the basis—a source of
pleasure and pride to her and to her
family. And growing knowledge of
pecans is resulting in an ever-increas
ing demand in other parts of the
country.
There is nothing more difficult to
describe in words than flavor! Who
can put into mere language the firm
smoothness, the delicate sweetness,
the tempting crispness, the creamy
richness, and the subtle charm which
make up the lip-smacking, palat-i
pleasing flavor of pecans? Ask the
kiddies why they like pecans! Ask
the older folks why the pecan ap
peals to them.
Or, better still, take a pecan in
your hand. Note first how nature
has protected this delicious food—
the pecan is a food — with a
smooth, hard, airtight shell, provid
ing a delicacy free from contamina
tion and ready to eat. Crack the
shell, so light and thin that you can
crack it in your hand, and see how
snugly the pecan nestles there await
ing your pleasure! Note the smooth,
shining brown skin, its very color
tempts the appetite and sets the
mouth watering. Take out the kernel
and pop it in your mouth. Crrrunch!
The teeth bite into the firm meat of
the nut, and the palate responds with
a thrill of anjoyment! By almost
animous consent the fine, delicate
flavor of Iffie pecan makes it a prime
favorite among dessert nuts.
Remarkable Food Value.
And if their flavor were the only
thing which pecans could claim, they
would establish a ease for themselves
on tout alone. , _ But their , . flavor _ .. is
only part, and perhaps the least vm
portant part ’ of the story that telJs
the value of the pecan, and the place
which 1Ch It deserves ^ eserves in ln the the dailv daily menu menu
of , every home. For the food value
ot pecans is so high that they have
1 been described “Nature’s finest.
as
most concentrated food product.”
Dietitians who have made
subject their life study, declare that
pecans provide “Nature’s answer to
the nutritionist’s call for a safe food
which is properly balanced, and fit
ted to the crying need for a low pro
tein diet.”
Children should be encouraged to
eat pscans, because of the remark
ably high content of the forming
lime, and because pecans contain
considerably more iron than many
foods which are extensively recom
iron.
For grown-ups and children alike,

TALMAGE MAKES A

COMMISSIONER-ELECT A GUEST

^ “w£ epartraent of Agriculture Post-primary next speech June,
Slimter « C ° Unty District Fair
was a guest of the Americus Kiwams
Club, and much of his address was
devoted to a discussion of marketing
problems faced by Georgia farmers.
Recent violent fluctuations in the
price of cotton, Tal mage attributed

“The big job in Georgia,” he said,
“is not one of increased production.
The riddle we must solve is that of
marketing and to reach this solution,
we must have the aid of every busi
ness man, banker, congressman and
senator. If ever there was a time
when the farmer needed to turn con
structive thought toward the solution
of his problems, that time is today.
The Federal government is guaran
teeing a profit to many of the public
service corporations, such as the rail
roads, but the government does noc
guarantee a profit to the farmer. The
nations’ large corporations have the
very best brains at their heads, and
they are able to think for themselves.
The farmer, however, is so busy pro
ducing he has little time to give to
marketing problems, and that is why
I say he needs the help of the busi
ness men. The violent fluctuations
in the cotton and other markets are
not natural.

for out cotton today, and yet you
folks must pay for the cloth made
from this cotton on a basis of 20

TELLS OF WHAT HAS
MADE GRADY COUNTY
WRITER FOR FARM PAPER HAS
PRAISE FOR CROP PLAN
IN FORCE HERE
f rs£ z Zt tz Zl
writer, taken fro ma recent issued of
the Southern Cultivator and Fanning
pecounting his impressions of a re
cent visit to Grady county and prais
ing the crop divvrsifk-atio,, plan
force here:
On August 14th and lGth we were i
ir, Cairo, Ga. We like to go to Grady i
county, because we always find the I
farmers have something doing something. They always j
to market. We think
j.u that nf Giady , county . of the lead
is one
ing counties in our because State, ii not the
leading one. Not she pro
most most cotton, c JL W but r* because ", her "7* farmers
are practicing the best system of di
versified agrieuraire. Grady c. j. y
does not depend on one crop, or even
three crops. Her farmers sell syrup,
cotton, peanuts, tobacco, watermel
lons, hogs, cattle, poultry, pecans, col
lard seed and okra. Cairo is the lav
gest cane syrup market in the South.
It ships many cars of peanuts, water
melons and tobacco. Grady county
grows the collard seed for the United
States. This time we found that R.
V. Crine of Brunswick, Ga., had a
contract to furnish okra to the Camp
bell Soup Company, and he has estab
lished a plant at Cairo, under the
supervision of C. A. Curry, and we
saw them cutting up the okra—pick
ling it in brine and putting it in oak
barrels to be shipped by the carload
to the Campbell Soup Company. They
had shipped three carloads and were
busy filling the barrels when we were
there. This new industry will give
the farmers of Grady county mar.y
thousand dollars this season, and it
is proposed to increase the acreage
next year. We attended the tobacco
sale on Monday. They sold over 50,
000 pounds at an average above 25
cents. We saw our friend, J. H. Col
lins, sell three baskets at an average
of 35 cents. There is good money in
tobacco when you can grow this grade.
They grow a good quality of tobacco
in Grady county. The peanuts and
cotton were receiving too much rain.
The sugar cane looked fine. We saw
fields of twenty and forty acres in
sugar cane higher than our head. On
account of the farmers of Grady coun
ty having a dozen cash crops, they
are more prosperous than the farmers
of other sections. They do not go si
deeply in debt, and but few have put
any mortgages on their farms. Every
county is not so favorably situated to
grow the ,, same variety . , of - crops as „ the .,
farmers of Grady, but every county
in Georgia will have to depend less
upon cotton and more upon cash crops
that they can grow successfully to
supplement their cotton crop. The
necessity is upon us. T ex&s and the
West have taken cotton production
away from us . They do not use s0
much guan0 and do not have to fight
crab grass; so they can grow cotton

pecans are equally valuable. The fats
of the pecan are easily assimilated,
and when the primitive Indian used
his “pecans” for food, and crushed
oil from them for use with other
foods, he was simply following an
instict which modern science has
declared to have been wise and ad
visable.
