Ex-Cotton Farmer Is Reaping
Financial Harvest In Pecans
WASHINGTON, D. C. — A far
mer who hasn’t planted cotton
in years on his hilly farm now
counts mostly on trees — pe
cans, pines and hardwoods —
selling tons of nuts to the Christ
mas market and timber and plup
wood from time to time.
He is Dewey Bedell, a part-
time farmer aM merchant of Au
burn, Ala., 'who has 200 acres
in trees, including four of pecan
on his 270 acres of rolling hills
that were once eroded and al
most worn out by the constant
production of cOtton. i
We liavan’t planted cotton

Bedell. “We got poor yields,
watched gullies grow and had
trouble finding good help.”
Mr. Bedell gave up bricklay
ing in 1031 to farm with hir
father-in-law, Britton Drake
who died two years ago.
Years before, his father-in-law,
like some of the plantation own
ers in the area, began setting
out pecan trees. Little by little,
they added more trees until now
there are four acres of them,
producing nearly five tons of
nuts during most good years
such as this one.

brand of socialism was not the

During Mr. Hevl’s time in
Peking groups of eight students
occupied a room of ten feet by
twelve feet, filled with beds and
all of their belongings. The col
lege had one bath-house to ac
comodate 5,000 students.
Students were required to at-
tfend four of five hours of com
pulsory political lectures each
week. If they got tow marks in
political studies they laced the
danger of being expelled to col
lective farma, no matter how
good their other grades. ,
