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.'

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.
