Pecan Growers to Meet in Gonzales Texas
About 400 members of the Texas Pecan Growers Association plan their annual convention in Gonzales the second week in July. W. E. F. Donovan notes Gonzales County produced about 5 million pounds of pecans valued at roughly 550 thousand dollars for 1926, with substantial carload shipments and strong market demand. He cites abundant native groves along the Guadalupe and San Marcos rivers and calls for intelligent clearing, thinning, and potential commercial orchards to boost yields and profits.
