That Ii About tho Annual Crop of Pea
nuts In This Country.
The ''goober'' industry Of Norfolk is
Unique. Here is little city in Vir-
glnla that has become the greatest
distributing center of peanuts in the
world. A peanut is pretty small
item, but IN annual crop of something
like 100000 bushels, worth millions
of dollars, makes pretty big item.
The demand for goobers has doubled
within the last five years, and tho SUD-
ply does not yet fill the growing de-
mand. Few people know the curious
uses to which the goober has been nut
In trade quite OF late years. No other
single plant raised in this country is
used in SO many different ways. The
Chinese say that the cocoanr!t palm
has os many useful properties rs there
arc days ia the year. The goo5er -
not SO universal as that, bat. it has
es many valuable qualities as thc-,
are days in the week, says the
New York Independent. The solid
part OF the nut is peculiarly nrr-
tritiVe and supplies fruit and food for
many family. The vines make fine
fodder, some say as good as clover hay,
while hogs fatten on what is left il,
the fields after the crop has been gath-
cred. ..
If you grind the nut you get a sweet
quality OF -four, with which the house
wife makes delicious biscuit. If Tou
squeeze it you obtain valuable oil re-
scmbling olive oil and used for similar
purposes. This oil also enters largely
into the manufacture of the better
grade of soaps. The kernels are roast
ed for coffee The roasted kernels are
also used in the manufacture of some
kinds of chocolate. The coafcctioaar
helps to ruin. our digestion in boyhood
days with peanut candy; the GEORGIA
COOK alone knows how to make rich
pastry of pounded peanuts. The art
list, with paint brush, silks and satius.
creates novel and beautiful pcanut Or
nnIneatS; SO thatpcanut dolls and other.
curios may now be seen in the shop win
dows. especially around tho HOLIDAYS.
These arc some of tue ways in which
the lcguninous nut is useful to rzg.
The goobcr is grown more or less in ell
the southern states. The bulk OF our
supply conaes from Virginia, Forth Car
olina nnd Georgia. Down soutii these
edible nuts are called "gcobers' or
''pinders." They uro not known as
peanuts. Now that the demand is in
crcasing and good prices are obtained,
more growers are going Into tho bu3i-
ness every year. Few crops are easier
to raise thgn the goober. 1t is n
hardy prolific plant; and requires no
more care and attention than q CROP
OF potatoes.

crease is 5000, or, perhaps, over
5000, if we take for granted that a
l 600 or 1 800 may be added to the
list of 1890 to make up the differ
ence there may be between that
year and 1893. A census for mere
statistical purposes cannot be con-
sidered as complete as a census
taken with the view Of a per cap
ita distribution Of money. Taking
this fact in connection with the
rush of persons admitted to citi-
zenship and who have remained in
the states up to the present time,
IL may not be unreasonable to sup
pose that the present population
OF the Cherokee nation will fully
reach 2S,000. We may therefore
safely calculate that in the two de-
cades or in twenty years the ma
ton has doubled its population.
Running at this rate the estimate
Of our nations population may be
put down, at the end of the pres
ent decade or at the beginning OF
the year 1900, at 10000.
Causes for a more rapid increase
of population are accumulating
daily on account of our business
and social relations with the ad-
joining states. Education, refine
ment and valuable property rights
are qualifications that equalize con-
ditions with the best, and are in
ducements sufficient to attract at
tention-Courier.
