Texas is the greatest pecan country in
the world Hera the nuts grow larger and
attain a sweeter flavor than in any other
region Tho trees are indigenous grow-
ing to an enormous size along the streams
and In the more fertile portion of the prai-
ries This year the nut will bring into the
state not less than 5250000 yet only a small
per cent of the entire crop will be marketed
San Angelo Standard
Millions of bushels aro produced in tho
state annually but by far the largest por
tions are consumed oy nogs or other ani-
mals or rot under the tress on which they
grew Ship loads leave the wharves at
New Orleans unassorted crude and rustic
frosh from the trees as they arrow to be
floated to German English French Span-
ish and Italian ports The shrewd foreign-
ers buy these valuable nuts at an averapeof
2 per bushel They sort and polish them
by machinery sell the choice sizes at 40 and
jo cents per pound and the smaller sizes
are converted into oil or manufactured into
confections No Texas farm is complete
without a pecan grove It will require
from eight to ten years for tho trees to
amply suffice for the trouble and delay
liransas tiaroor Herald
In this part of Texas the mulberrv and
osage orange grow in abundance if tho
silk industry received proper attention here
it would soon become a source of great
profit and help to make this country inde-
pendent of foreign countries for a large
part of the raw silk consumed The women
havo taken great interest in the matter be-
cause sericulture is a work which women
can do better than men To them it offers
another ro3d to independence by healthful
pleasant and remunerative work A La
dies silk culture association in San Antonio
might accomplish much pood and thoy
would be as much fctitled to congressional
appropriations as similar societies in other
states During the year ISaO the report of
the secretary of agriculture shows that
sixty four lots of silk worm eggs were dis-
tributed in Texas but with what result is
not stated San Antonio Times
Mr F A Swinden of Brownwood who
has 400 acres in a pecan orchard said
There is no surer way of making a fortune
man to plant a pecan orchard and let the
trees grow A tree eight years old will
produce a bushel of nuts and those are
worth from J2 to 54 per bushel and when
the trees are fully grown say from twelve
to fifteen years old it will bear about four-
teen bushels of nuts I think when mv
trees aro eight years old my first crop ot
pecans will not be less than 11000 bushels
and the cost of gathering will not exceed
10 cents per bushel In tha mnintimn
while waiting for trees to mature the land
is not idle I havo a part of it in cotton and
a part in alfalfa
The P C C country is pre eminently
the home of tho pecan Tho streams aro
bordered with thrifty pecan trees tht
yield an annual crop of great commercial
value Many families make more in
thirty day3 gathering pecan3 than they
could make In a year raising cotton in
Mississippi or Georgia Raising pecan
orchards in this country is un industry
that is destined to be more profitable than
the orange proves of Florida or tho
vineyards of California Th trees will
begin to bear at eight years old Tho nuts
are from two to four times as large as in
other states and will always command the
highest market price Concho Herald
