mits that onr city has done a larger bust
ness in COMPRISING cotton than Waco.
IL says The Fort Worth GAZETTE OF
yesterday publishes an interview with Mr..
Kerr, superintendent OF the only com
press in Fort Worth, Mr.. Kerr states,
explicitly, that from September up 70
last Saturday his press has fiattencd bs,-
1926 bales Of cotton. We suppose this
statement 1 true lat all events we are
not prepared to question Us accuracy. II
true, II is a revelation, and shows that the
Fort Is up with, and a little ahead, Of
Waco on compressed cotton, as our two
presses have handled between them about
81 900 bales. But where Waco lays over
the Fort Is 10 the matter Of local (wagon)
cotton receipts, the figures being about
5000 at Fort Worth, as against $4,000 at
WacO.

Ascientitic journal having recently said
that the manufacture Of oil from peanuts
was destined to draw on the crop to such
an extent that the nuts would become &
scarce article OF trade as food nut in the
near future, q New York reporter asked q
wholesale dealer in peanuts for further in
formation on the subject.
"There isn't q pint OF peanuts made into
oil In this country that l know OF and
never will be as long as the greasy cotton
seed holds" he said. Before they began
to make cottonseed oil peanuts were used
largely In manufacturing an oil that was
used In place Of olive oil, and during the
War great deal OF the illuminating lubri-
eating oil used in the South was made
from peanuts, the entire crop being used
for the purpose. The making OF peanut
oil was very extensive industry in France
for many years before the introduction OF
cottonseed oil, and in those days at least
so percent OF the oil imported by us as
olive oil was either pure oil Of peanut or
olive-oil adulterated with peanut-oil.
FRANCE makes conBlueIapIe peauutcolt yeti
and America is the chiefbuyer OF thispr
duct, and we eat 1t as well as our cotton
seed-oil, when we eat oil at all, in nine
tenths Of the restaurants and hotels, and
imagine it is tho genuine olive grease.
The nut now chiefly used in France for
oil making is the African ground nut,
which all throughtropical Africa is largely
raised and Is used, cooked or raw, as food.
It's exported in large quantities to France
from Guinea and Angola. 1t Is richer in
oil by one.third than the peanut, and Is
put on AIarseilles markets cheaper by half
than the American nut can BIO Sold there.
The peanut lover need have no fear for
the future Of the popular shell fruit"
