The .1915; cotton crop averaged less than $50 an acre. Pecans averaged over $200
' an acre, borne difterence, isn t there? Here is what Glen Saint Marv Pecan Trees will do
for you: Plant twelve trees to an acre of land: when mature each tree should bear at least fortv
- pounds of nuts. Pecans sell at forty cents to a dollar per pound; at the minimum of forty cents.
the fiye hundred pounds of nuts from your twelve, trees will bring in about $200. Which would vou
rather have $ o or $200 ? ; There is less worry about a crop of Pecans than over a crop of corn, and
more certainty than in a crop of cotton. A Pecan-grower is prosperousa one-crop farmer lives "in hopes."
