The members of the Bend Pecan-
Growers Association met Thursday
night and after a long distance call
to Mr. Springer of San Antonio de-
cided to postpone shipment of the
first two carloads of pecans until
Nov. 1, some of the members were
unable to fill their quota due to the
greenness of the pecans. The extra
week will allow more time and the
pecans will be in better condition for
shipment. Mr. Springer sent word
that any member who wished could
bring his ripe pecans by truck be-
fore that date. People at Bend are
becoming more interested in the pe-
can industry every year. John Mac
j Alexander has secured a motor driven
• pecan cracker. He has placed large
i cartons of cracked pecans in nearly
every home in Bend. When the nuts
have been picked, the picker gets 10c
a pound. John Mac gets a fancy
, price for these pecan halves. It is

will have built up a good business,
