Cov ington, who prepared the publication, declares that pecan orchards can be profitable in the Coastal Plain and Lower Piedmont areas if they are given proper management. This, he says, includes planting the trees in good soil, fertilizing them properly, ’ controlling insects and diseases, and 1 following other recommended cultural : practices. “Far the home grounds,” says Cov- ' ington, “the pecan is a good utility i tree, as it is both fruitful and orna mental. It makes one of the best shade trees, and if given the proper growing conditions, will grow as rap idly as most other shade trees. Every 1 rural home should have one or more pecan trees for shade and a supply of nuts.” In explaining why trees sometimes fail to bear, the horticulturist says, pecans are generally considered to be alternate bearers, producing heavy crops every other year. To produce normal crops every year, the trees must have sufficient plant food to mature the current year’s crop of nuts and at the same time build up enough reserve in the tree to develop the next year’s fruit buds. Other causes of pecan crop failure, Covington says, are insects and di- ■ seases, lack of moisture, and lack of pollination. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Fred E.

Errors Found In Filing NSLI Dividend Forms Word has come from the Veterans Administration that many former World War II servicemen are not fill ing out their applications for Na tional Service Life Insurance divi dends correctly, Henry Quinn, com mander of VFW Post 9780, warns. The most common error, Mr. Quinn pointed out is the failure to include service serial numbers, required under item 4 of the blank. Many men have put their enlistment dates in this space. This information is not re quired in computing amounts of divi dends. Another common error, Commander Quinn pointed out is omission of sig nature of the applicant. Unsigned blanks are not acceptable by VA.
