Pecan Industry Has a Great
Future in This Section
INDUSTRY THAT WILL PAY
THE HKCKKTARY QF THE CHAM.
SKB OP COMMERCE OFFERS TIJ
GIVE VALUABLE INFORMATION
IN REGARD TO iUUISIU PE
CANS. . ,.m
An industry that will eventually
fire an annual Income of $1000 tor
?very acre. Bach farmer should set
out at laaat one acre.
The groateat la due try that Beau
fdTt county can enter Into la the
commercial growth of pecans "the
kins bf all nuta."
The flay or of the nuts from the
trees throughout this county aro ex
cellent. though It's to be regratrod
the tffees are seedHngs. Were they
budded and grafted stock the auu
would he consider able, larger, bring
ing a much htgher price per pound.
To a great extant nuta are being
eaten in place of meats and win
bring as much per pouad; some
times more.
Statistics gathered by out state
horticulturist. Prof. W. M. Hutt.
proree that "??r the past decade the
Importation of nuta haa Increased
about 91.00+ every year. Though
there Is not a single Imported nut
as good as bur Beaufort county pe
can.
Mr. H. G. Carter of Fairfield has
magnificent trees which produce ex
cellent crops- There are several
trees throughout the state which
give to tnelr owner an annual In
come of $100 per tree.
In planting a pecan orchard 16
trees are set to each acre, using the
buded and grafted, strgk they bear
in from a to 7 years or about the
same time it takes an apple tree
to produce a paying crop. At 10
years old grafted pecan trees prop
erly cartfd for ahould produce $10.00
warUt^of. avjts..j>er >t*fia^ Increasing
their yields each year thereafter for"'
100 years or more.
During the time these pecan trees (
are coming into bearing and up to,
15 yearn of age. cotton and othei
crops can be grown among the trees,
therefore very little use of the land I
is lost.
In gathering truck corps days!
count profit. Prices are up today:
and down tomorrow. The crop!
ia ripe today and ruined tomorrow.
Several days rain at the time the
crops should be gathered causes an
almost total loss.
How different with the pecan, It
can rain, hail. blow. One can con
ttider it too hot to go Into the field,
and the planter can remain in the
house, sleep and read and even put
off from today until tomorrow or so,
long as weather conditions or per-:
eonsl feelings are not fsvorable. He
can go at his leisure to his orchard
gather his nuta. put them in barrels
and either ship them the dsy gather
ed or the next, or wait until next
month. In other words, lta a conven
ient crop, one might aay "a gestle
man's crop."
If any one who reads this wishes
to go Into the paean Industry don't
make the error of "going It blind."
planting seedling trees nor many va
rieties of the buded and grafted
stock. Get none but the beat A little
sddltionsl cost at the first will make
thousanda of dollars for you In the
end.
For instance It takes a seedling
tree from 12 to 20 yesra to bear
and the prlce of the seedling nuts Is
from 10 to 15 cents per pound, while
the buded and grafted trees bears In
from 5 to.? years and the price of
the nuta are from 20 to 60 cents
per pound.
When your orchard of 16 trees to
the aere produces 500 pounds of nuts
to each tree, you can eaaily figure
what you would lose each year by
going Into the industry blind.
Ths secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce can give you- valuable In
formation In regard to growing pe-1
cans. Tou will he wise in consult-I
Ing him. aaklng any ^ueetton regard
ing the beat varlsts, how beat to

WINTER COVER CROP
Department of Agriculture Issue*
Valuable Statement
*
FARMERS SHOULD HEED
MR. S. A. KNAPP, AGENT IN
CHARGE OF THE DEPARTMENT
ADDRESSES A COMVNICATION
TO AGENTS, DEMONSTRATORS
AND CO-OPERATORS.
The farmer who does not try to
get all he can out of hlland annu
ally and yet leave It In Condition to
yield more the following season has
mistaken his vocation.
One way to do this la to plant
cowpeas In the com at the time of
the last cultivation; harvest the corn
In September and pasture th^ cow*
peas In October. Early In November
deep break and plant to rye. using
about one buahel per acrd. Our rea
sons for preferring rye are the fol
lowing:
1. R la hardy. R will germinate
and make a stand when other grains
fsll. Oats and barely will winter
when rye will remain practically un
injured by the froet. It stands tramp
lng snd gracing better than other
grains.
2 It takes kindly to poor soils,
which Is an Important factor on most
lands.
Where hairy vetch will succeed,
the addition of a peck of retch seed
'to a bushel of rye Is an Improve
ment.
Where there Is no boll weevil In
festation, rye or rye and vetch may
be planted between the rows of cot
ton In OOctober, and not later than
the first of November. It Is better
to use a narrow drill In planting,
but where farmers elo not hare this
the seed may be sown by hand and
cultivated or harrowed In.
Crimson Clover.
On lands adapted to It. crimson
clover sown in the corn at the last
working has given excellent results.
KBIiWW trtiirmli'Tu tute Scfti-ft 'III'll-'
?rally used and by the first of the
following April It furnishes a rutting
of 1 1-2 to 2 1-2 tons of cured hay
or turned under, adds a great body
of manure to the soil. The territory
in which the crimson clover thrives
best appears to be from the latitude
of the northern portion of hte Gulf'
States to the lat!tudc of the Ohio j
river.
Oats or barley do well some win-1
ters. When they succeed they furn-J
ish a large amount of winter graz- ?
lng and considerable humus for1
plowing under in the spring.
1. A winter cover crop largely pre
vents loss of soli fertility by wash
ing (erosion); some lands suffer
greater loss than others by washing,
but all lands are more or less injur
ed by It.
2. Soils without cover lose consid
erable fertility by evaporation dur
ing the fall and winter. a winter
cover crop reduces this loss to a
neglibible quantity.
3. Such crops, to somo extent,
prevent the seeding of the land to
foul weeds.
4. They increase thc porosity of
tfie soil, and add the humus so es
sential to fertility.
6. They make a valuable crop
while the lands would otherwise be
idle* which Is a net gain to the land.
We must Increase the vegetable mat
ter in the soil to anamount suffi
cient to enable the soil to retain a
much larger propoprtlon of the rain
fall than at present and to greatly
Increase the mechanical conditions
of the soil.
?. A very important consideration
In winter cover crop is the large
amount of grazing that can be secur
ed from It at a time when it is es
pecially valuable for young stock,
and Its value is not limited altogeth
er to the mere supply of food. It
adds tohe health and vigor of the!
Etock. On an average of from 2 to
2 1-2 months of graslng can be se
curcd at a nominal cost of a little
labor In preparing and seeding the(
land.

The eve of the convention found
seven full fledged gubeimatorlal

no special preference for any one
