Kditora Indiana Farmor:
So much has lieen written and said
about the various nut trees of the United
States that I desire, as an old reader and
friend of the Faiimkr, permission to say a
word to your many readers alxiut tho pecan. Itis undoubtedly tho most valuable
of all, though littlo or no attention has
been paid to Its cultivation, especially
where lt is found growing in a wild stato
in the forest. Cultivation greatly improves tho nuts in size, thoy being much
larger, as will be seen by noticing those on
treos standing in fields that are regularly
cultivated in field crops. There is no reason why this valuablo nut troe should not
lie grown in all sections of the country.
Itis adapted to all kinds of soil and cli-
mato. Kvery farmer should havo bis nut
orchard, and especially tho pecan. Tliero
Ls no nut or fruit treo so valuablo and profitable, and nono requiring so littlo attention. The only difficulty is to obtain good
fresh nuts from which to grow the trees of
a good variety and large nuts. The nuts
always find ready sale at fancy prices. I
will give further information if desirod.
