Pccan Paying Propositi
Wiley of Blackshear Says.
——— *" |
Although the erop of peeans of
1927 are short of lastiseagon, the
present price is some emmyfu:
cent less. Storage stock is the
reason, yet despite the lowered
price, it will bring a profit. ‘
Mr. T. B. Wiley, of B!ackshear.i
who represents the Pierce County
Nursery, was in the city, Monday,
and paid us an interesting visit.
Mr. Wiley has just irspected
some groves ne planted last year,
and report the trees doing fine.
He is a believer in them and says
that Pierce county will sell a hun
dred thousand dollars of wurihi
of pecans despite the lower price.
While he represents a pecan nur
sery, 1t was while was while a
county agent, that he was conver
ted to the profit to be made out of
them, and planted a grove. He.
developed a good paying oue and!
gave us several new angles on the
sale end and varities t» grow. ‘
The Curtis he says is a great
frviter, with an excellent flavor,
also a sure bearer, and while they
are not as high priced as the Sue
cess, Stuart, Frotshner or Schley,
they ere hetter producer. rnd find
a ready sale. However, as Mr.
Wiley says the sale of pecan mest,
is growing and a eracker, the Cur
tis excells This is the proposi
tion that draw the interest of the
sown into the proposition,
Last season Columbus shipped
pecan meat out in solid car loads,
the nuts being eracked, packed in
neat boxes and shipped o manu
facturers. The seedlings and low
er grades being marketed in this
manner., A neat hittle business
can be built vy the nut erackeries,
and even now one could be made
in Folkston, the surrounding see
tion being produclive of a good
supply ot seedlings.
Mr. Wiley interviewed quite a
few interested in planting pecans,
and expeets to place several good
Lordern locally. If vou contemplate
‘a peean grove, he would be of
assistance to you. You will find
it toyonr inferest to get in touch
with him,
ficial preservation will keep from onc
harvest to amother.
_ Other trees often have their fruit:
chilled and killed by the frosts of
spring; but it is hardly once in a life
time that “old Boreas’ catches the
pecan.
The pecan is a gentleman. If neg
lected he may turn his back upon him
who slights him. But treated as a wel
come guest, he will fulfill every demana
of even the most exacting host.
The pecan is of royal blood and noble
ancestry :—
Other frees may be as beautiful.
. Some may be as generous in their
lbountiful harvests.
~ But in longevity and beauty and
utility combined there is not a tree
which can distance it in the race. ‘
We want you to get acquainted. W
can present to you the proved aristo
orats in the pecan world, of known
E’purentage, properly nourished anc
veady for your adoption. You will want
to know how to care for them while
growing to maturity; ask for this in
formation. You will need to know how
to treat them when they are shower
: down the “brown beauties” full ol
their life giving qualities; this also may
be yours for the asking.
~ This is the opportunity for you to get
acquainted. I am ready to introducc
you. Just signify that you want thein
nd all the necessary facts will be pu
it your disposal.

The debate given Friday night
by the Charltonian Literary Socie

argument was presented on both
sides of the question: Resolved,
that Ceorgia is doing enough for
the education of her youth, The
decision was won by the negative,
The only thing to be regretted
‘about the affair is that so few par

visits are appreciated and are of
the highest value. when teachers
and parents talk things over the
teacher learns of the parents sm
bition for the child. These vyisits
give an opportunity for the father
and mother to learn first-hand of
modern school methods. The fath
er and mother can judge of the
work being done and not be de
pendent on the immature judg
ment of a chiid, Father, mother,
and teacher agree on demands
that should he made. The result
is that the child is never told to
do one thing at school and an
otherat home. Somelimes parents
do not know just what fine chitd
