Put That Idle Land to Work with Pecans. 
How to Profit by the Passim 
—And Make A Continuous Vine hiving Besides 
Y OU may have some idle land or even farm land which produces hardly enough to pay taxes. 
It would pay you to plant that land in pecans! The very minute the land is planted in 
growing trees you will have increased its value. Then the older the trees, the more valuable 
the land. You could do as we do here at Lumberton, not only grow pecan trees, but crops 
between the rows, along with fruits and berries, and have live stock grazing among the trees. 
' It would even pay you to buy up cut-over or other idle land and plant it in pecans for 
resale. Land is cheap now and before values increase you could make considerable money by 
following our suggestion. 
Meanwhile as the land increases in value, due to improved conditions, and also to the grow¬ 
ing trees, you could have an additional source of revenue. Ordinarily our trees start bearing 
the third year. In time, those trees would furnish you with an abundance of nuts, an easy 
living and independence in old age.

How to Make 
Two Blades Grow 
Where One 
Grew Before 
Y OU will find a happy combination in pe¬ 
can orchards and cattle. Livestock can 
pasture between the rows and thus fertilize 
the land. Good clover planted will produce 
good milk and good meat—thus an income 
from the cows—meanwhile your pecans will 
be growing just the same. 
Peas, beans, clover and other leguminous 
crops will also enrich the soil. Cotton, corn, 
sweet potatoes, watermelons and all kinds of 
truck, as well as strawberries and other 
fruits may be grown. After the trees are a 
few years old, cattle, hogs, mules, horses and 
other livestock, which is the most profitable 
type of farming, can be handled to advantage.

Perhaps you are a professional or business 
man, especially in the city, and your hope is 
to retire some day in a quiet place in the 
country. Pecans will make it possible. 
Cows and pecans mix nicely—to their 
owner's protit.

‘The ten trees ive bought from you three years ago are very fine and all bloomed this year and a few 
bore nuts of fine size. We recommended your trees to our good friend, Dr .. 
and he has a fine grove , too.” JACKSON, TENN.
