Pecans Go On Forever! 
URING the recent drought, pecan trees were least affected. Though other crops failed, pecans 
continued to produce. During floods, pecan trees have withstood the surging waters better 
than any other tree. 
Have you ever seen or heard of pecan trees being blown down 1 In addition to their use for 
shade, pecan trees are planted about a home since they don’t blow down easily. These trees 
become deeply rooted and are able to hold on, during heaviest winds. 
Nature seems to favor pecan trees, for we have record of them living for centuries. 
More Nourishment in Pecans than Other Foods 
HERE is more nutritive value in a pound of pecans than two pounds of pork chops, three 
pounds of salmon, two and a half pounds of turkey or five pounds of veal. Pecans are 
rapidly becoming recognized as a meat substitute. Thus a greater demand and higher prices. 
Since it takes some time to get into production of pecans, plant now to be prepared for the 
growing demand on this great food crop.
