n:\As has large potential
resources in its pecans
In its native pecan trees, Texas hi-
a irreat natural resource, the value of
which runs into millions of dollars.
But we are not making full use of
this natural resource. Native pecan
trees largely represent potential
wealth; budded pecans are actual
wealth. Texas is first In number of
native trees but considering its size,
it is last among the pecan growing
states in budded trees.
In a favorable year, Texas produces
as many pecans as all the other states
combined. But seedling trees are un-
certain bearers and there are many
years when our crop Is woefully
short shorter than we have any
right to expect considering both in-
- ■< t damage and unfavorable weath-
er.
It is somewhat of a myster;
our Texas people have never
our great natural resource in
ing trees, and by top-workinp
made real and taivihle their
potential value. Texas was the pio-
neer in top-working large pecan
trees; it-- experiment station, exten-
sion i rvice, college and slate depart-
ment of agriculture have given un-
,luring ' s''nted effort to the development of
taking pecan industry. Yet, in spite of
our early tart, we have never gotten
out of the pioneer stage In making
atn considerable part of the state a
cultivated pecan center. A - C. A.
Heed of the United State-- Depart-
ment of Agriculture said at the last
meeting of the Texas Pecan Growers'
\ • sociat ion:—

and has had a successful career for

one the Bank statement shows a very
healthy condition. A condensed state

If we wond< r why the other folio v

"N'n buyer of pecans by variety

quantity of such pecan« In Texas. The
state has introduced scores of va-
rieties but there is nowhere in the
tnte that a buyer can go nnd get a
wholesale supply of nuts of any one
variet y."
Tox;:« should weed out the unde-
drnh!' among its pecan varieties
and center its attention on the few
select ones that are adapted to home
and commercial use. Of course, we I
have a great variation iti climatic
i conditions, and taking the state as a
whole u-e need a larger number of
! variable* conditions. Rut even giving
dm* consideration to th's fact, we
need to specialize on certain varieties
in order that buyers mav know where
• o go to fill their orders.
It also seems desirable that we
I give more attention to the develop-
ment of tho kind of pecan the com-
mercial market demands. According
to certain authorities, many buyers
prefer the long, less palatable hilt
hotter cracking Louisiana pecan to
I the blunt, well flavored, thin shelled
! Texas nut.
The top working of native trees1
| with wood of desirable varieties is
our immediate and pressing job.
Budded trees bear more regularly
and the value of their nut is three
or four t'mes that of the nuts of
seedlings. In fact, some seedlings
