W M Durham, plant manager, notes pecans shelled at the local facility were shipped worldwide with values near forty thousand dollars. He cites 1919 as the largest U S pecan crop on record, doubled by 1926, while cold storage kept market prices down this year. Texas leads in native pecans. Georgia, though not native, develops cultivated groves and expects rising production and higher prices due to paper shell varieties.
