THE PECAN |
4 |
The Gold Mine of
the South
By C. R. Loxg, Montgomery, Ala,
i
The pecan is a hichory with thtn
'shell and of finer quafity than the
‘hickory, It naturalfy befongs to
the southern states, and is better
adapted to the lower southern states.
For the last few years it is ('.om-!
manding attention from planters of
profitable fruit, and no fruit is grow
ing 1n interest faster than the pecan.
The pecan is the only fruit planted
that will fast a century., Itis nota
perishabl: frnit, and does not have
to be gathered 1n a rush and ship
ped, or kept in expensive cofd stor
age, fike other fruit. Not restric
ted in its sale,has the world for its
markets, It is the best eating of
nuts ; most profitable nuts. '
“The whole tree is profitable. The
wood is in demand at any age. The
nuts are used for desert, for oil, for
confectionares and is lately being
used extensively for nug.foods,
wpich will -furnish an untimited de
mand fer them.
The pecan pusiness is a new busi
ness. Texas alone furnishes one
half of all the pecans sold in the
United States, Her anual crop is
fiom 200 to 500 cars at from silooo
to S2OOO per car, ;
If you are the owner of good-land
seize the opportunity and plant pe
cang. Talk pecans and let the
southern people raise them. The
United States importg severaf mil
lion dolfars worth of nuts annualfy
The importation for nats in 1902
was $21,480,000.00, which was 10
per cent greater than in Igor. i
People who never travel [beynud
the bounds of their own country
will bowl that “the business will
soon be overdone,” But investi
gate the above figures and see if
you agree with the howlers. It is
avery small per cent of the many
million inhabitants of the United
States who ever sdaw a pecan, DBe
sides the popufation of the United
States will grow faster than the sou
thern states wilf grow the nuts. The
nut consumers, league llas not yet
been olganized, ’
What is universally supposed \tq'
be the greatest drawback to the’
business will keep it forever a safe
investment, and that is: “they take
too long to bear.,” While in reafity
their time of bearing does not vary i
materially from that of apple s and
pears. This surroseD (?) drawback
will keep the pecan the most profite
able of afl fruits, 3
| Left us divide prospective planter
into three classes—young, middle
aged and old men.
Young men of means, the ones
who could plant pecans at the great
esi profit wilf not generally plant,
because leturns appear too distant.
The midila-aged mau wili not
often plant because his means are
used in raising and educating a fam
ily, or pushiug afl the capital he
can command Into his busziness.
The ofd men as a class, do not
want to plant for fear of not gather
ing their fruits. |
The facts in the case are: A pe
can grove begins to bear the day as
ter planting, and bears an increas
ing amount each day. To explain:
Any one spending SI,OOO in plant
‘ing a budded or grafted pecan grove
will nottake $l,lOO for it the day
after pianting. Wlen two years
old an acre of budded or grafted pe
cans is worth SIOO. When ten
years old 1s- worth SI,OOO per acre.
The practical way in which to es
timate how song it will take your
grove to bear is simpfy to agk your
self the question: How | ong hasi
taken for the last six or eight years
to pass? If I had planted then, I
would be easy now. PLANT Now,
and we assure you the next eight
years will pass quicker than the
last,
A budded or grafted pecan grove
is better than a life insurance policy
goverment bends or a bank account
If a man leaves life insurance it 1s
too cften loanea out and lost, It
is be ter than bonds because it
iefds more annvafly from trees
that will live 2 century. It is bet
ter thana bank account, because
the principal (the grove) will not lw‘
spent or mortgaged,

The first application of Mexican Mus
tang Liniment subdues the pain but it
continues its work until evetly quivering
nerve is soothed and quieted.
The great penetrating power of this
famous remedy enables it to do this
quickly and positively.
In all cases of Sprains, Bruises or Lame
ness, Mexican Mustang Liniment
should be rubbed in persistently,
The antiseptic qualities of this old relia
ble household remedy make it safe and
sure. '
