Considerable attention Ir now being given In South Carolina to the cultivation of pecan trees. This has long been a profitable industry In Texas, and there Is no reason why It cannot be made to pay In Georgia. There are some fine specimens of the pecan In the middle and southern portions of this stale, and many more will be planted when our farmers learn the value to this state. It has been a question whether pecans can he transplanted and still bear fruit. Mr. Herbert Post, 01 Texas, recently wrote a letter to the Southern Cultivator In which be contended that transplanted pecans might make handsome shade irees, oui wouiu noiproauce num. ;ur. i obi Bays: "I have made the pecan a study for year*, and obtained tbe opinion of the best in formed growers and others who have Investigated the subject, and the weight of testimony lb that when yoa onoe destroy the tap root ol the pecan yoa have destroyed the bearing qualities of the tree.'1 Professor J. 8. Newman, of tbe South Carolina Experiment Station, who is well known In Georgia as boih a learned and practical man, takes direct l?sue with Mr. Po*t. He writes to a South Carolina farmer as follows : -Fort Hill. S. C., Sept. 7.1893. "DearSir: Your letter of September received. From my own observation I am able to assure yon that tbe statement made by Mr. Herbert Post In regard to the bearing qualities of tbe pecan tree are not worthy ot any credence whatever. I have known pecan groves, the trees of which were ail transplanted, to bear abundant and profitable crop, and anyone who has any knowledge of the process of transplantine must know that tbe tap roots were mutilated in a greater or less extent. I do not think you need be disturbed by any such unwarranted statements. "Respectfully, J. 8. Newman." r\# *Vtrv nAAnn mill ui wuibo buo uuiuvauuu ui iuc nin be much easier if Professor Newman's theory Is correct. We bave great faith in bis opinion on such subjects and Id this Instance it is expressed with strong emphasiB ? Atlanta Evening Journal. An exchange says October Is the best time for planting shade trees. If you have none In . front of your house, take steps to plant theiu oat next month. Tbey will add beauty and oomfort to your home.?ADderson Intelligencer. The only reason that the Press aud Banner can find for asserting that the Fall season is the suitable time for transplanting trees lies In the toot that the assertion is found In tbe nursery catalogues. Tbe reason the nursery catalogues so assert is based on tbe fact that the people bave more money in November than any other month, and are better able to buy the young trees tben than at any other time. If nursery men waited until Spring to sell tbelr trees tbey would bave tew customers. Tbe Spring time is the most suitable time to transplant trees. Alter the trunk of the tree has drawn somenoarlshmentfrom eartb, and when tbe buds have begun to swell, is tbe proper time. According to tbe Beasons March or April Is tbe best time. If the top Is reduced in proportion to the redaction In the roots, and If tbe ordinary tree Is plaoed in tbe ground with reasonable care, and a plenty of water is poared on to settle the earth around tbe roots and a slight depression is left around tbe tree, there Is little danger of transpluntlng. Tbe. eartb should not be billed up around tbe tree, so as to run otf the water that may tell. AS TO THE PKCAN TREE. The testimony which the Press acd Banner gets about tbe pecan is varying. One report Is that Mr. John D. Cochran, of Hodges, in this county, bought five hundred young pecan trees, and set them out, tbat they have been growing nicely for fonr or five years. But tbe testimony of those citizens at Abbeville who bave had experience with tbe pecan is in confllol with tbe position taken by Professor Newman. In 1815, Hiram W. Law son, went from this filaoe to Augusta, and there bought a quantly of pecan nnts, and brougbt them bome with him. They were tbe first that bad ever been seen In tbe village, and were somewhat acurloslty. Two of these nuts wore planted on tbe lot tben owned by James Shllltto, but now owned by bis grand daughters Mrs. K. S. Link and Mrs. W. B. Wilson. From tbe nut* no planted two little bushes grew. Being close together Mrs. Ubilllto bad one of them moved and it died. Tbe other Is still llvlDg, its spreading branches giving delightful shade,and furnishing every year many bushels of tbe finest paper shell nuts. Hundreds of little trees huve sprung from tbe fallen nuts, and hundreds of tbe little scions have been given away to people in town and In dlflerent parts of tbe county, but as far as we can learn, only two or three of them lived after being reset. From some of the nuts of the pareDt tree other trees hare grown and are now bearing #atill nna nf iKa Isaau Ke< ?on Ium>a iiuir-vuwv/i iuo ?ivvo 1/VIU5 00 1015c ao iuc original tree. Mra. R. 8. Link has the largest tree that has grown from an; of tbe nuts, and she prize* it bo blgbly that ahe says she would not take $500 for it. Mra. W. D. Wilson says sbe thtnks ber big tree Is worth more tban Mrs. Link's. Mra. J. W. Sign has several pecan trees on herlot.< One was transplanted by ber mother, who has been dead more than ten years. It is now a mere sprig, being about eight or nine feet high, with no signs of bearing. Sbe has one large tree, which nas been bearing for tnree years. Sbe says money couldn't buy On Mrs. Link's and Mrs. Wilson's lots are many young trees, some bearing, others being too young. Tbe?e all grew In the original places from tbe nnts from which they sprung, Tbe testimony of these ladles and 01 Mr*. Lawson is, that it is better lo plant tbe nut wbere it is desired the tree should grow. They say that resetting tbe tree gives It a backset, even when it is possible In rare Instances to get it to live at all. A tree from tbe nut will produce fruit years sooner than a transplanted tree. T rr% DnKn>?nn? ah. ? ~ . 1 1 V_.Vl. u . x. ihiiwhouu u1 uui iuwu usb i1uu some experience with trees, and his opinion also differs from that of Professor Newman. He believes that none of the hickory species will bear If the tap root Is destroyed, and It Is next to Impossibility to remove such trees without injury. Mrs. Wilson says that the tap root goes down to "never," and three meu couldn't dig up a little pecan Id half a day, and reset It so that It would live. The hole from which a pecan it taken would make a well. The value of tbe pecan tree may be estimated wben It is stated that one large tree will produce many bushels, and that the nuts retail at $l.fiO a pound. Tbe climate and soil of this oountry are favorable to its growth. Tbe trees are hardy, the tops' are shapely, presenting a pleasing sight, furnishing delightful shade, and yielding muoh profit. For tbe first few years they grow very little, but when a little older, they take on rapid and vigorous growth under favorable conditions?rich soil and suoshlDe. If anybody would plant an orchard he can do so on the cultivated land, without IdJury to the crops for years, but when tbe trees are older they might claim the land. THE DISPENSARY. Large Sales and Bigger Prom*. Tbe dispensary at Abbeville has been doing a large business during tbe month of September, and tbe figures must be most discouraging to those of our fellow-citizens who have boped for tbe financial failure of tbe experiment. Tbe fisures are not as satisfactory to tbe probibltlonists as former statements of sales, but tbe Press and Banner still believes tbat tbe dispensary Is a vast Improvement on the old system of open bars. It would take mnob to make this newspaper believe tbat fifty dispensaries, selling for cash and keeping open only until six o'clock, could sell as much liquor as a thousand bar rooms could sell, keeping open until ten o'clock at nifbt. The dispensary snles at Abbeville for the montb of September amounted to $1,925.20. on which tbere was a net profit, after paying all expenses, of 8292 95. Divided equally between town and the county, each would be entitled to 8146.74. Besides the profit made at Abbeville the State realized a profit in Columbia, wblcb was turned Into tbe Slate Treasury. Tbe outlook now is, tbat tbe Slate itself will realize something like a quarter of a million dollars and tbat the counties and towns will each realize something, w hile curtailing tbe whiskey business. TEN CENT COTTON COMING AN EXPERT BELIEVES THE LIVERPOOl PRICE WILL BE 11 CENTS. Alfred II. ShepperMon'N View*?La* Ye?r'? StirpIiiH is Dwindling, lh< Mills are Taking More, and th< Crop li? Short. New York, Sept. 80.?Alfred B. Shepperson author of "Cotton facts," has furnished :h< Southern Associated Press with the lollowlnj opinion as to this year'.--cotton crop. Mr Shepperson is neither a buyer nor a seller o cotton, but possesses usually good fHcllitlei for accurate information covering the entiri cotton belt. He said: "While in many sections the cotton plani has matured so laree a Droportlon ol lis fruit age that the yield would not be appreclabl} Increased by delay of frosts, tnere Ik a greai deal of fertile bottom land upon which th< plant will continue to make ami mature frun until killed by severe frosts. No frosts havt yet occurred in the cotton belt. Estimates al this lime of the probable size of the cotton crop are, therefore, necessarily ba-ed upor the occurrence of general killing frost; throughout the South at about the usual 01 average dates. Should thesi- frosts be delayed until later than usual, the crop will easily ex ceed any present estimate by several hundred thousand bales, while should they occur ear lier than usual, the crop will be far below tlx estimate. The acreage Is calculatcd by I hi department of agricultuse as practically Hit same as last season. The general conditions affecting the crop have been unfavorable. A late and cold spring, followed by protracted drought in Texas, have resulted in bad stands with considerable replanting and some abandonment of acreage. Excess of rain and several storms In the Atlantic States, with drought again in other sections and serlouf damage by worms lu the Oulf States are the leaturesof the season. These things are not the usual indications of good crop. Assuming that general killing frosts will occur at about the usual time ray advices Indicate a probable yield of about 6,800,000. Frosts last tall were earlier than for several years, and seriously curtailed the crop. For several seasons large quantities of cotton have bern marketed with each crop which was grown in preceding crops. "The old cotton has now beeu about all mark?fpd and it is probable that the com merclul crop of this "year will not differ appreciably from tbe actual yield. lestlmmed the actual yield of cotton last season at 6,400000; the difference between that and the commercial crop being made up irom cotton from previous crop. Compared with last season'* yield tbe present Indications point to tbe following: gains, viz; 300,000 bales in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, being 20 per cent; 200,000 bales in Arkansas, being 33 per cut; 240,000 bales In the two Carollnas, Georgia and (Florida, being 15 per cent. The total of the gains Is 800,000 bales. Tbe pield In Texas is estimated at 1 750,000, being a loss of 400,000 bales. Tbls deducted from tbe estimated gains will leave a net ealn of 400,000 bales upon last year's yield o! 6,400,000 bales. Tennessee will probably make about the same crop as last Reason. "Some correspondents, whose facilities for obtaining Information are excellent and whose standing are of tbe highest, do not think the gain in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana will be over 15 per cent., and the gain in tbe Carollnas over 10 per ceut., while I am Informed that the commissioner of agriculture of Georgia estimates the yield ol Georgia will not exceed that of last year. The receipts at the porta for the week Just ended were 20,000 bales more than for the corresponding week last year, and it Is probable that tbls week's receipts will be liberal. Early receipts are bo indication of the extent ol tbe crop, for a small crop may mature quickly and be promptly marketed. "Tbe visible supply of cotton in tbe world, which means tbe stock outside of the mills, is about 400,000 bales less than a year ago. The stock held by European and American spiuners is far below last year's, while the consumption l u Europe Is as great as at that time (last year, and many British mills have made contracts lor their entire product lor several months ahead. Owing to tbe financial troubles' our own spinners are buyiug very sparingly. European views of the market are based upon the American crop of 7,50.1,000 or more. "The Liverpool price to-day is 4 l-2d formlddling, being 1 4d higher than tbls day last year. Liverpool merchants ol standing, . think that, with an American crop of 7,500,000 bales, cotton would easily be worth >u iu mai market. In this opinion, odo of our oldes and most esteemed cotton merchants concurs and I, not only agree with him but think the specultive purchases might easily carry the prices a half penny higher. In the matter 01 cotton prices, New York follows Liverpool and sets the gait for all American markets. Much interest is felt on the report of the condition of the cotton crop on Oct. 1, to be issued by the department of agriculture. While I have not even an acquaintance with the statistician who makes up the department report of tho crops, I am satisfied the October report will show a lower condition of thecrop than auy October crop report since 16SJ."
