PECANS The cultivation of the Pecan is being rapidly increased. After the trees are sufficiently large they seldom fail to produce annually a large and regular crop, and are a source of much revenue after they have attained the bearing age, which varies from seven to ten years after planting. Pecans can be successfully grown as far North as Iowa; its natural distribution includes over 15 degrees. Any land producing a good growth of hard woods, such as oak. hickory, etc., is fitted for the profitable production of this nut, but the moist and sandy lands of the river and creek bottoms, subject to occasional overflow, are particularly adapted to this tree. The trees should be set from 40 to 50 feet apart; dig the holes at least 2 feet square, and fill in with top soil and well-decomposed stable manure; mix this thoroughly with the soil. Plant one or two-year-old trees. I
