GROWTH OF PEANUT INDUSTRY.

for the peanut was In any measure salts

"At the close of the war, when the SOL

had cultivated such liking for the nut,
which they had often pulled from the
ground and roasted at their camp fires
when in Virginia, Tennessee and North
Carolina, that the crop then raised In these
states didn't begin to supply the demand
Wideawake farmers saw the point, and
small garden patches where peanuts had
been grown for generations were soon
abandoned for broad fields and to-day Vir-

the rural popula ton in the North and the
nut soon ceased TO be a holiday luxury
when the war broke out most of the
peanuts consumed in this country were
raised In North Carolina. A great many

were of inferior quality. In fact, the best

on a young Justice of the Peace of
that town. He went with his wife
to visit house where there had
been q recent addition to the FAM
lily. The woman of the house. met
them at the door and he asked after
the welfare of the baby. She was
little deaf from a cold and supposed
he was inquiring about her cold.
She replied that though she usual
ly had one every winter, this was the
worst she ever had; IL kept her
awake a good deal at first, aud con-
fined her to her bed. Then rioticing
that the Squire was getting pale
and nervous, she said she could tell
by his looks that he was going to
have one just like hers, and she
asked him to go and lie down.
