to be paid to them. These being given, you will 
not be disappointed in results. 
Tru.sting the above will be satisfactory, I am. 
Very truly yours, 
J. B. Wight. 
From Prof. H. K. Miller, formerly of the Florida 
Experiment Station, Live Oak : "In my opinion 
your estimate is conservative. I know of one gro-'-e 
which Is about twenty-one years old that yields 
an income of about $100.00 per acre. This grove, 
too, has a number of trees that are of varieties 
that are long since discarded on account of being 
unproductive. This naturally lessens the possible 
income that might be had if all the trees were 
of good varieties." 
From Dr. J. B. Curtis, Orange Heights, Florida, 
who is ojne of the pioneers in pecan growing in 
Florida : "I do not think your estimate visionary, 
and you are not high enough on the basis of 8 per 
cent. I am doing much better than your estimate 
here on my place, and I have some seedling trees." 
From Prof. F. H. Burnett, Horticulturist, Louis- 
iana Experiment Station, and ex-President of the 
National Nut Growers' Association ; "There is no 
exaggeration In your statement as to the value of 
land set in pecans. In fact I believe that it is 
as nearly correct as It is possible to get. at this 
stage of the progress of the pecan industry." 
Mr. Herbert C. White is one of the largest 
orohardists and most skillful horticulturists engaged 
in the pecan industry. He says : "In my judg- 
ment you have underestimated the value of a 
grove of first-class budded and grafted trees on 
good land, properly planted and sUillfully cared 
for, assuming varieties suited to the locality are 
planted. In my opinion a good budded or grafted 
tree will increase In value from $5.00 to $10.00 per 
tree per year, especially where not planted too 
closely (which has been the greatest fault in the 
past)."
