Report of Committee on Statistics 
Chas. M. Barnwell. 
Mr . President, Ladies and Gentlemen : 
I find every one is planting larger and 
better trees, and not planting so many per 
day. They are using more and better 
fertilizers. They are not planting cotton 
and corn on the tree rows, and they are 
cultivating a strip on each side of the row 
of not less than three feet, and are en¬ 
deavoring to get around at least once a 
week.

Mr. Miller: Georgia is, perhaps, 
planting more acres in nuts than any 
other state, with the exception of Texas, 
and Florida is coming right along behind 
her. 
Mr. Griffing: There has been to my
