IM1 Heap of Food Value In Just a Little Nut ' It wouldn't be so pad to be a nut, provided of course If one could be so fortunate as to be the most Important nut In America. Such a nut is tne pecan. -.iHere in the United States It is a pretty valuable article; it provides a very important con tribution to the prosperity and economic life of the South; it adds, too, to the very diversified list of crops and products of the land below the Mason and J3ixon Line. Although the nut is belittled constantly--and held in scornr ful disdain, it is the richest source of concentrated food that the human race knows anything about In these lit: tie. hard capsules , Nature packs a heap of food value; more, in fact, tnan can db crammed into any other com modity.-:-':.::.-;, 93 Per Ctnt Solids We have, within the past few years, discovered a meth od whereby much of the water contained naturally in fruits and vegetables, can be extract ed, leaving a highly concen trated food without much bulk; we call it dehydration.

Mexico, : , , The 'Century' Most of the pecans average 40 ror 50 to the pound, but specialized strains and intelli gent cultivation have resulted in phenomenal improvements, and today pecans so large that 20 of them, will often weigh 16 ounces, are common. This particular variety has become known as the "Century" and it la the most profitable of the pecan trees, Much of the Improvement in the culture of this impor tant tree is In the fragility of the outer shell; some varieties have such a delicate covering as i to be easily cracked between the fingers, and of course they, are aptly named "paper-shelled." . The pecan tree has flowers arranged in slender, drooping tassels, which usually occur in threes on a small stalk or twig. This is characteristic of all . the hickories. The nuts occur in compact cluster of 3 to 12, each nut with its own individual, thin .husk, which is more or less winged.' Be an artist with a needle!

OREGON'S LARGEST TAX SERVICE First Quarter Expected To Be Low Mark in Corporate Profits Br HENRY J. BECHTOLD . X7PI Financial Editor . ... New York - lUW) - Corporate profits should be on a rising plane this year, the reverse of the 1UU0. pat tern, but in the aggregate they probably will fall slight ly below last year. This is the opinion of Sta n d a r d Si Poor's Corp. T h advisory service said the first quarter probably would mark the low point of the year, proving to be no better than the final quarter of 1960. But the year likely will end on a strong note. '." . ; '-: i Comparisons with the ex ceptionally high profits real ized in the corresponding ini tial three months of last year will be quite unfavorable; but a somewhat smaller year-to- Henry BecntolS year decline Is Indicated for the June quarter, followed by widening gains thereafter. Of the first reporting to date, Standard & Poor's found profits down 2 per cent from the 1959 level, reflecting the impact of the business slow down. ' f ' ;'..J;,; -'if,: s While industrial firms show ed a profits dip of 3.8 per cent the decline was partly offset by utility gains,.; The I960 first quarter re sults were swelled greatly by the Inventory : accumulation that followed the long' steel strike of 1959, but Standard St Poor's noted that the trend was reversed thereafter as in ventory and the economy be gan to slow down. . . . . Nearly , two-thirds of the re porting groups posted declines in I960. The largest declines, all in excess of- 40 per cent, were sustained by agricultural machinery, carpets and rugs, aircraft manufacturers, air transport, and rayon. The best year-to-year per formances were made by min ing and smelting, specialty machinery, natural gas pipe lines, biscuit bakers, gold min ing, corn refiners, and office equipment. . Fat Trimmed Off i Surprisingly sales of most companies were higher than in 1959, but profit margins were squeezed because of in tensified competition from both domestic and foreign pro ducers, and the difficulty in passing along higher costs in the face of excess industry capacity. Standard St Poor's noted that In some cases posted prices were cut or concessions granted. And at the same time promotional" efforts were ac celerated to pare built-up in ventories - and to introduce new products created through long-range research programs. ' However, as the profit pinch became more acute, efforts were Instituted vigorously by managements In the latter part of the year to trim costs, streamline operations, and oth erwise Increase efficiency. Personnel also was cut; al though wage rates continued to rise under existing labor contracts. As a result of these efforts, it was pointed out, most firms entered 1961 with most of the xai irimmea on ana in a posh tion to widen their profit mar gins on any improvement in sales.
