$100,000 Would Be a Low Value on This Bass Pecan Orchard. 
There’s Always A Market For Pecans! 
HE most popular nuts are pecans. Because growers realize that the market has 
hardly been scratched, cooperative associations have been formed to further their 
sale. Pecans have sold on their own merits because of their delightful taste and 
flavor, and food value. The immediate consumption is enormous. Confectioners, 
Hullers, and Salters use them by the carload. Fruit cakes, so popular in the Fall, 
require tons. Bakeries use them all year round. Cracking companies cannot secure 
enough nuts. Chain and grocery stores sell them. 
A Heavy Bearing Bass Pecan Orchard 
BOVE you see one of our pecan orchards here at Lumberton making money 
with White Dutch, Yellow Hop, Giant and Crimson Clover, as well as other 
soil building crops in our pecan groves. Over $20,000 profit was made this past 
fall on yearlings grazing these cover crops. While the yearlings were making a 
fine profit, the orchard was being made richer with these soil building legumes. 
It is an easy way to make money. A very heavy crop of pecans is now on our trees 
after having given us a nice winter grazing crop—you might say, free.
