PEANUT GROWERS SHOULD ORGANIZE

PEANUT GROWERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.
Peanut growing is an important
industry in northwestern N. G. The
Progressive Farmer is largely circu-
lated in that section, and we think
our readers there will find it to their
advantage to ponder these sugges-
tlOns from last weeks Roanoke
Chowan Times. It says:
The peanut market is in a most
satisfactory condition, and farmers
are unable to get half value for the
stock they have on hand.
This is an unnatural condition,
brought about by manipulations
over which the producer has no con-
troll. Cleaned and shelled peanuts
are quoted at about the same prices
as they we're some months back
when farmers we're getting to 3
cents per pound. Last years crop
was very short, compared with the
year before, yet the prices rule much
lower.
The peanut factories now have alb
solute control of the peanut market
and are making an immense profit
out of the business; they seem un-
willing to divide with the farmer by
paying him fair price for his pea
nuts. This is natural, and the fac
tories are not wholly to blame. If
the conditions we're reversed and the
farmers had absolute control Of the
market there would not be much
prufit le for the factory people.
The profits in raising and prepar
ing peanuts for market should be
more evenly divided. How to do
this is question easily solved. Let
the farmers come together and build
peanut factories all over the peanut
growing sections. Every county in
which peanuts are grown can build
one or two factories.
Even without the factories the
farmers could get better prices for
peanuts by change in the method
of marketing them. All peanuts
should be placed in the hands Of
commission merchants for sale, or
none. It is detrimental to the best
interest of the farmers to sell to
the factories and at the same time
ship to the commission merchants.
The factory people compel the com
mission houses to take less than the
market value or hold the stock, while
the agents of the factories go over
the country picking up the choice
lots at price way below the actual
market value. The present plan is
an injustice both to the commission
houses and the producers.
The prevailing conditions call for
organization of the peanut growers.
What say you, brother farmers, to
organizing a Peanut Growers Asso-

They will do as we'll on it as they
will on clover.

let the COWS and horses stay in the
beans only a short time the first one
or two days, for fear they will eat
too much. After that there is no
danger of their overeating. I use no
manure or fertilizer of any kind for
sofa beans. often plant them on
my th1nnest land to improve it. I
turn the beans under or cut them
early and plant a second crop. It is
a splendid crop to follow Irish pota
toes. like sofa beans better than
any kind of pea, because they do not
rot easily when they get wet and are
left out for a short time.

able you to keep up it's present

A GOOD SCHEME.
The Gardner Mine Will be Incor-
porated.

We learn from the Carson papers
that H. f. Dangberg, Jr., X. Kirman,
A. Chartz and d. Norie paid visit to
the Gardner mine and mill, six miles
east of Carson, last week. The object
of the visit was to inspect the property
with the intention of lending financial
assistance to the GARDENERS. 1t is pro-
posed to expend 81 800 in further de-
velopment work on the mine and then,
if the ore body continues, to erect a
$4,000 tramway and a twenty-stamp
mill. In an interview with the Netos
reporter Mr.. Chartz said:
'tAt the norChernmost end of Carson
Valley the Carson river flows through
a very narrow place, walled in by solid
rock. A dam can be built at this point
twenty feet high which would back
water over a thousand acres of land,
and afford unlimited power at very
low cost. This point is situated about
half mile above the Gardner mill on
the river. The water could be used
for irrigating purposes over several
thousand acres of land, and the power
could be utilized proftably for mining
on the Comstock, Silver City, Como
and in the immediate neighborhood,
and for lighting and reduction works
and manufacturing purposes on the
river"
The ore is low grade, assaying 80 per
ton and milling only $1.70 per ton in
the crude mill erected by Mr.. Gardner,
but the ledge is twenty feet wide. The
ledge crops out boldly on the surface,
and is distinctly traceable for about
1900 feet. A tunnel penetrates the
ledge for about 200 feet, and many up
raises have been made to the surface,
and wines sunk short distances, and
ore of like value found everywhere.
Since the above was placed in type
the NetUs says the preliminary steps
have been taken to incorporate the
mine. The stock will consist of 100, 600
shares, of which the present owners
will retain 10000, and 10000 will re-
main as treasury stock. The 10000 to
be placed on the market will be sold
at the rate of 90 cents each, 10 cents
down and 5 cents per month until
paid for or until the mine pays divi-
dends. Of this sum collected all is 20
go for development and later for the
erection ofan adequate reduction plant.
Those who are familiar with the mine
have confidence in it and the NeUs
says there is no doubt the stock will
all be sold readily. 1t is far better than
Wildcat oil stocks.

Has a Job.

A boy was driving the COWS in from
the pasture, when he was startled by a
sudden wave scooting along the young
grass in the direction of a stump.
Pausing to investigate, he saw big
snake chasing a little one. Round
and round the stump the little one
darted, and the bigger one poured
himself after like a green rill.
Suddenly the smaller one shot away
like an arrow.
The bigger one, thinking the little
one still ahead, stretched himself TO
his utmost to catch him. He thus
came in view of his own tail, which he
took to belong to the small snake.
He grabbed his tail and began to
swallow it.
Slowly, inch by inch, the tail disap-
peared.
Shorter and shorter grew the body,
as the voracious head swallowed away,
watched by the veracious boy.
At last the snake had swallowed
himself. He totally disappeared from
view.
The boy has been engaged to make
circulation statements for certain
Gardnerville newspaper.
