In this paper the global attractivity of the nonlinear difference equation
x_{n+1}=\frac{a+bx_n}{A+x_{n-k}},\quad n=0,1,\cdots ,
is investigated, where $a,b,A\in (0,\infty ),$ $k$ is an positive integer
and the initial conditions $x_{-k},\cdots,x_{-1}$ and $x_0$ are arbitrary
positive numbers. It is shown that the unique positive equilibrium of the
equation is global attractive. As a corollary, the result gives a positive
confirmation on the conjecture presented by Kocic and Ladas [1,p154].
