TIE SPANISH PEANUT
That is Going to Give Georgia
Hog Meat Galore.
What Commissioner Henderson Says-Thirty
Thousand More Tons Of Guano Used
This Year Than Last.

"The notable fact OF pitching crops IN
Georgia this year" said Commissioner Hen
dcrson, sis the marvellous increase in the acre
age of Spanish peanuts. This is a compare
lively new crop in Georgia. 1t has increased
every year for five years. This season many
correspondents report an increase Of 300 per
cent in their counties in the acreage OF Spanish
peanuts, and large number report an increase
Of from 100 10 $50 per cent"
"You regard this as important"'
II do 1t means that i'll two or three years
Georgia will raise every pound of meat she
consumes. The hog and the Spanish peanut
20 together. / have raised 125 bushels on a
single acre, and the very poorest land gave me
from eighty to a hundred bushels per acre.
The hog is very fond u the peanut, and it is
very fattening food. A farmer can get four
times as much meat producing food from an
acre in peanuts as he can get from an acre in
corn. He can turn drove of fftg or hum
dred hogs in field and let them root the pea
nuts up until they are fattened and ready TO
kill, and he will ind next season an abundant
crop Of peanuts from the same field without
replanting
''Cant the peanuts be grown as peas are
grown, III a cOInfieIdV'
"Of course. An ordinary farmer may raise
from fifteen to twenty acres, and by planting
peanuts on land that will not grow anything
N'HS4 NS"'A 80
the corntield can raise and tatten Oh peanuts.
without dollars extra cost, every pound of
meat that he needs on his farm. The plant of
the peanut makes splendid forage, and rich
and nutritious hay. You will see next year,
as a result of the vastly increased acreage in
peanuts, a marked increase in home raise
meat and l believe in three years Georgia will
raise more bacon than she can consume"
"What does the department consider the best
hog for the Georgia FARM"
"On my own plantation, i always thought the
Essex was the best hog, but am of the opin-
ion that for general use the Berkshire is as
good or better. The Essex or Berkshire boar
crossed on our native sows, makes handsome
and hearty hog. Georgia will save millions of
dollars when she raises her own meats, and
the peanut leads the way to the pig"
"What are the farmers doing this year,"
"They are using 1871 600 tons of guano against
10000 for the biggest year heretofore This is
an increase of thirty-tive thousand tons, or
nearly twenty per cent. The acreage has in
creased very little, so that what is cultivated
will have more guano than ever before. AS
for crops, up to June the seasons were not
favorable for cotton, but since that time the
weather has been favorable, and the crop looks
better now, and | hear but few complaints.
Corn is unprecedentedly fine, and the outlook
is for prosperous year.

Questions Answered.

G. b. c., MoRETowN.-The bill increasing
the pension for total deafness from S13 to
$50 month has become a law. This law
will probably have the effect to raise the
rates of pension on partial deafness.
f. p. c., WHITE RIVER JUNcTIoN.-Yo You
are not entitled to a minors pension unless
you were under sixteen years of age at the
date of your fathers death and the same
was due to disability contracted in the serv-
ice and in line of duty.
A. NJ. B., MARsHFIELD.-This correspond
ent writes: " would like to know if a sol
der gets divorced from his first wife and
marries again and then dies, and both wives
are living and the first still bears his name,
which will hold the pension? " The last
one is the only legal widow of the soldier
and the only one entitled to pension.
III. c., GREENsBoRo.-A soldier of the
Mexican war is entitled to pension before
reaching the age of sixty-two, if in any way
disabled. If troubled with heart disease he
is entitled to pension whether he contracted
that disease in the United States service or
not. All that is necessary is examination by
any physician and the affidavit of the physi-
clan showing the existence of the heart dis
ease. This should he forwarded to the COM
missioner of pensions, to be filed in the
claim.

IT requires an abundance of pluck
to make success of life under adverse
circumstances, but when success has
been gained its joys are replete with
an inward satisfaction over victories
gained which is totally unknown to
those who have no struggles in this di-
rection. AS with life, so it is in
measure with the grange. Success can
not be obtained without many discour-
agements. Some of the best oranges
in the land, subordinate and state, are
those that have encountered severe
trials, during which their lives have al
most gone out. But the pluck and en-
ergy of the faithful few kept them in
existence and infused such new life and
vigor as enabled them to become strong
and abundantly prepared for future ac-
tivity and usefulness.

An Investigation Needed.

John G. Black, commissioner, wrote let
ter to Leonard Persons of Northteld, VT,
charging that in trying to establish his
claim for pension, Persons became guilty
of a crime that would make him liable to
imprisonment if sufficient evidence could he
Obtained. Persons Washington attorney
declined to press the claim further, but the
applicant furnished such testimony in sup
port of his claim, showing that he suffered
hernia in the service, that the adjutant-
general Endorsed the application. The COM
missioner of pensions sent special agent
of the pension office to Mortified, who dis
guised his identity, procured ear pdrte tes
timony of Persons disability before enter
ing the service and reported an alleged con-
fession of the applicant that his trouble had
been contracted before entering the service.
The jutant-general reversed his indorse-
ment. Persons filed his affidavit denying
any confession, stating that an army officer
in trying to pay OIL a grudge against him,
was the cause of the trouble and asking
that he might be allowed to renew his ap-
plication and establish his guilt or inno-
cence of the crime charged. The commits
sioner of pensions refused to order another
examination and an appeal to the secretary
of the interior was also unsuccessful.
Mr. Persons is an old man and needy and
should be granted pension, if entitled to it,
and relieved from the charge of trying
fraudulently to obtain pension He has
resided in Mortified a great many years
and has the reputation of being an honest
man. The town has been pretty thoroughly
canvassed without finding any one that
knows or even believes that he suffered
from the disabilities named before his serv-
ice in the army. If he is guilty of trying to
procure pension by fraudulent means it
ought to be known and he punished for it.
In any view of the case, it ought to be fairly
and thoroughly investigated. Any one
knowing that Persons had hernia before 1862
is requested to report the fact to T. j. Deav-
lit of Montpelier.

Pure Food.

Producers and consumers are alike
interested in pure food. Authorizations
and frauds of all kinds in food rob us
of health and money. The manufac-
ture and sale of adulterated food las
grown rapidly of late years and is one
of the evils that must be checked. The
grange, after years of earnest and COM
bined effort, secured the oleomargarine
law that has already added millions of
dollars to the dairy interests of the
country. Largely prevented by this
law from longer using authorizations
often vile and injurious in their charac-
ter, in butter, interested parties turned
their attention to adulterating lard. A
pure lard bill, known as the Wilson
bill, has been the cause of prolonged
and bitter fight in this session of con-
gress. The committee on agriculture
of the house of representatives agreed
to postpone its further consideration
until next December, but Patrons on
guard brought about reconsideration
of this action, and it is now for farmers
to at once ask the passage of either this
pure lard bill or the general pure food
bill.
The pure food bill, "H. r. No.
10,320," is 8" a bill to prevent the sale,
manufacture or transportation of adul-
terated articles of food, drink and drugs
manufactured or ma lie in one state, and
intended to be sold in another, or in
tended for export, or for sale in the
District of Columbia or any territory
or reservation of the United States, and
to prevent the expectation or importa-
ton of adulterated food, drink or drugs,
and for creating pure food division in
the department of agriculture" The
bill says that the designation pure
food,' for the purposes Of this bill,
shall mean all articles of diet, drink or
drugs manufactured, raised, made or in
any manner consumed by the people of
the country for the purposes of sus-
tanning life or restoring health or for
beverages or medicines"
In this pure food bill is found one
more result of grange work and effort.
This bill was drawn up by member of
the grange and introduced into con-
gress by member of the grange. 1t
has been read twice, referred to the
committee on agriculture and ordered
to be printed. The committee has
agreed to report it favorably to the
house, and now Patrons and farmers
must act, and we can have the law be-
fore this congress adjourns. Here is
real "protection to American in
dustry," protection to the farmer who
produces the food and to the people
who consume it. Shall we have this
protection or shall we have /" free
trade in all such vile compounds as
oleomargarine and adulterated lard
have been shown to be-free-trade in
robbing the people of their health and
their money? If you believe in pure
food and protection against fraud write
your congressman at once and ask him
to support and vote for the d" Lee
pure food bill, No. 1920. Write also
to one or both of your United States
senators. Every grange should take
action at its next meeting. -Lecture'

ORGANIZATION is the farmers only
hope. He can not expect to cope sue
cessfully with other classes except
upon an equal footing. The grange,
with its complete and symmetrical or
ganization, not only places him on an
equality with other classes, but by rea-
son of the numerical superiority of
farmers it gives him the opportunity
for correspondingly superior advantages
and opportunities. Will farmers be
wise and take advantage of these?
