Advance in Price Expected to Pre

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 5.
Considerable shortage In tho Pecan
crop In Texas is reported this year.
Last year one of the largest crops in
the history of the state was gathered.
It was estimated that tho crop
sold for approximately a million dol
lars. The industry is a very large
one, especially In southwest Texas,
where all the water courses are lined
with groves of large pecan trees.
One tree near San Saba Is report
ed to have produced last year $250
worth of pecans. The scarcity of tho
nut will doubtless Increase the price

lose In proportion to the falling off In
tho crop.
