There la still time to plant pecans
thL year.-,, fj
But there is no-Ume to loae.
Pecans, so far' aa time of planting,
etc., la concerned, are similar to coca.
When It 1« time to plant corn it Is
time to plant pecans.
By planting now yon are just one
year nearer to haring a pecan orchard
than if you put ft off a few weeks and
have to wait until next year.
By not planting at all you will loae
great opportunity to take your farm
out of the cheap land claws and put it
where it could be made several hun-
dred dollars an acre within ten years
from now.-
These things we are not saying of
our own knowledge, byt we are quot-
ing in substance what Charlie I)vnny
has to say about pecans—and he
knows from experience, study and ob-
servation what be is talking about.
Here let us add that Mr. Denny says;
soak your petans In water about
eight days befoie planting them. And
if anybody wants to ask him any fur-
ther questions about how to plant
them and bow to cultivate them, he
will be glad to anewqg them. T.
“Plant pecans,” says Charley Denny.
He emphasises the PI ANT. Because
he wants to get the idea to the man
who may have a little farm hut no
money to buy trees with. Jf you have
money to spend on trees, he says, and
want to get started that way," all good
and well. You will he a couple of
years ahead of the man who hasn’t
the money to buy the trees with and
has-to plant the nnta.
Having planted the pecans and
brought them to the third year there
la another step of utmost importance,
and that Is, "top work them.”
•The main idea, as gathered In con-
versation with Charlie la this:
1. It doesn't / take much money to
start a pecan orchard.
2. When jrdfc get a pecan 'orchard-
developed It Is going to mean a source
of good twome. An ordinary orchard
will pay dividends on a valuation of
$1,000 an acre.
v 8. The farmer can make Just as
good crops and have just as good an
income from hts farm while his pe-
can orchard is being developed as if
he had not planted the pecans.
4. By planting now you may have
• good paying pecan orchard in ten
years from how. And you liegTn to get
a pretty good Income in a good deal
less than ten years. *
8. Ten years seems like a. long time
'to some people to waif. But jbe ten
years are coming anyhow, and if you
live yon had Just as well wait with a
good pecan orchard coming on ns to
wait without anything In prospect.
There are several other thoughts in
connection with this main idea that
we may attempt to marshall for the
benefit (>f the reader before we are
through. i
r A Pioneer Planter.
Mr. Deody Is the pioneer in pecan
planting In Comanche county. Before'
be planted his first pecans he had
read something about a pecan orchard,
but hn<T never seen one nnd had never
heard much about one. Before then
ai few men had planted a pecan here
and there, perhaps, along a feihc row
or In their yards or lots, but no sym-
pathetic planting had been done: no
attempt at an orchard had been made

=F=F
THE CINDERELLA
MAN TO BE HERE
This world la full of problems. And
every ao often somebody la stepping
up to solve one of the problems.
One of. the problems is: « How to
keep the patrons in closer touch with
the work of the schools?
Hupt. T. V. Weaver at Haase took
a long step toward solving this prob-
lem In n very original way a little
over a week ago . With the entire fic-
ofty at work they had school one night
carrying through a hulf-duy’a regu^ir
school work in exactly the same way
it Is'Sone during the day.
Tills gavethe patrons an oppor-
tunlty.Jo go out and aee the school at
work, nnd many of them took advan-
tage of it.
But the school is not depending by
any means on novelty stunts1 to keep
up an interest It qualified for spec-
ial to the amount of $250 for voern*
tlonal training. Tblsiseason mnnnunl
training and home economics have
been introduced as jkart of the regu-
lar course. Also the' school house has
lieen overhauled and the walls kalso-
mined, thank* to tha-achool and the
community at large, uud other Im-
provements made. Also, there is a
move with several of the good riuzens
bell mil it. It is learned, to vote a dollar
school tax In that district.
All of which reminds us of a con-
versation recently heard, which runs
like this:
“Hupt. Weaver baa a fine school
down at Hasae.
TWaae?”
•He certainly has.”
People of Comanche sometimes pine
for the opportunity to attend a big,
high class play, one of the attractions
that Is presented by high class and
highly trained talent and that has
thoroughly' established Its reputation
as a successful production, , without
having to go away to some othfMfewn.
The opportunity comes to them next
ajgek. .... *
In “The Cinderella Man” the people
of Comanche will have an attraction
that the town may be very firoud of
having secured.
A great audience Of the people of
this town Joined by their friends from
other towns and communities, one
that will completely overflow the big
auditorium at the high school, will be
Just what such an attrretton deserves.
But folks need not go merely from a
sense of duty or civic pride. Tliey
may go feeling confident that there
will be an attraction—that they will
thoroughly enjoy.
Qomanche Needs
An organization of representative
business men, farmers and stockmen.
Our people want to move forward.
They have the spirit, the energy, Jtfaf
will to progress. There shou/ld be an
organization representing all groups
to the end that this spirit be encoura-
ged and kept alive, and this energy di- .
dected along lines that will mean the
greatest good to the greatest number,
