A. P. Swallow of the Extension
Service of V &. M College i-ay.-:
"It is not neca.aury to hare s
creek bank in onier to grow pe*
can*. There in seme good pecan
soil on mint Texts farms.'’ Mr.
Swallow was in Suttoc county in
tbo fall and pronounced this a
good region fot pecan culture.
Have you ever thought of plant
ing a pecan orchard? If you had
ten acres of good paper shell pe-
cans do you know how much they
would be wuith? Did you ever
ask the price of a paper shell
pecan orchard? Do you know
how much a pound of p iper ibcil
pecans sells foi ?
Naive peetju trees which bear
mfeiior nuts may be made to bear
tine quality nuts by putting on to
them buds or grafts from trees of
improved varieties. If the trees
are large they must be cut back
m the wiuteriu order that they
may be budded. So, wby not
improve the scrub varieties and
grow some really good pecans in
p’ace of them?

Sunday morning Nov. 23. there
will be a speois] Thanksgiving
service at the Methodist church.
We believe with the great Apostle
Paul that supplications and
thanksgiving shall bo offered for
all men, for rulers and all that
are io authority. And thnricog
niiion of national ties and bliss
ings is thus made a proper matter
for attention in worship ^and
preaching service of the church.
Tiio supreme note of Thanks-
giving ought to be gratitude that
we have such a God as our God,
Jehovah, v o should fill our
churches in appreciation of vital
md spiritual relations with God
as Creator, Preserver and Re-
deemer. Como to this service
next Sunday morning.
At 7:15 p.m, the Pastor will
preach on " Road Signs.” Come
nod hear this message and you
get a new idea from the sign
which you see along the road.
Our Kunday school stretches
out its great arms to welcome you
every Sunday morning. It is

self at home.
We extend a cordial invitation
to every body to come to any and
all of these services.
