"ThomasviUe, Ga., June 8, 1914. 
"Mr. J. B. Wight, 
Cairo, Ga. 
' 'Dear Sir: In regard to our ten-acre grove 
and its record, the following is the yield 
'orchard weight,' 1. e., not taking into ac- 
count the shrinkage in curing: 
Trees Bore Pounds Proceeds 
1909 173 185 
1910 168 210 
1911 177 1137 $508.50 
1912 184 699 293.25 
1913 187 2G98 902.14 
"I might have begun by saying that they 
were set in January, 1905, and that In 1908 
one tree had a few nuts. The crops of 1909 
and 1910 were sold at 50 cents per pound, 
but I have not accessible at this time the 
net proceeds. You might generalize by say- 
ing that the total sales up to and including 
the crop of 1913 have been about $1,875.00. 
"Yours very truly, 
"C. S. Pabker." 
From Sassafras, Va., Dr. William C. Stubbs 
wrote me October 13, 1912: "Took 300 fine 
large nuts from a five-year-old Stuart to-day, 
and weighing 40 nuts to the pound." 
Two notables in Pecandom stand at Cairo. 
One is a seedling belonging to Mr. K. Powell, 
which tor three successive years gave an 
annual average of $100.00 worth of nuts.
