PEANUTS AND THE STATE
FARMS.

To THE EDITOR: The question OF
growing peanuts on the state farm
IL baing discussed on tho columns OF
your paper. 1t Is general y concede-
that the state is producing one fifth
the Spanish peanut crop. A fair yield
OF Spanish peanuts is forty bushels per
acre. At seventy-five cents per pushed
the farmer realizes thirty dollars per
acre. If the State were not increasing
tho production one fifth, the farmer,
would realize ninety cents per bushel OF
thirty Elk delays Dor acre. This is clear
loss Of fifteen cents per bushel or nine
tydollars on q crop of fifteen acres, the
usual money crop to the horse. To
make safe estimate admit they would
be worth only ton cents per bushel
moro, instead of fifteen, there is still >
loss Of four dollars per acre or sixty dol
lars to the crop of fifteen acres. Now, Mr.
Editor, If every farmer in the state we're
paying the additional tax of from forty
70 fifty dollars even on the horse crop,
to meet this competition of the
safe farm, there wo uld 60 up at once

SENATE.-In the Senate one of the
most important measures was the bill
introduced by Senator Glenn fer high
license on bar rooms in Greensboro 1t
provides that liquor license may be
81 900 in Greensboro.
HOUSE.-The House met twice be-
ginning with an ante-b rsakfast session
at Z 80 a. m.
The early legislative session which
had no terrors for Speaker Moore and
fOrty-seven members of the House,
was not barren of good results. For
the first time since the Legislature con-
vened the Speaker was enabledto break
the news that the calendar had been
exhausted.
The house met promptly at Z 80 a
N. and did good hours work before
adJourniDg for breakfast. At 10 80 a.
m. the second session began and lasted
for two hours, when the calendar wa
cleared.
A notable fact connected with the
session was that more bills were passed
than at any previous session and not a
debate resulted. The majority of the
bills were of local nature and the
measures that were State Interest were
sidetracked for one cause or another /.
The bill to make compulsory tho read
ing OF the Bible in public schools was
given a soft berth on the table in short
order.

SHALL. WE HAVE A Ora DED
SCHOOL,

The question of graded school is
being seriously corsldered by the peo
pie of Scotland Neck. As will be seer
elsewhere in the report of meeting
held in Futrell's opera house 4 few
nights ago, a spclal committe has the
matter under consideration.
The COMMONWEALTH bel,ves that a
graded school in Scotland Neck would
be q long stride towards Z 4 develop
mont that is much needed nere. And
aside from what this paper thinks 1t is
Its province to speak Of the matter as an
item OF news and We are fully convinc-
Cd of tho fact that large majority of
the citizens of the town desire graded
school. The sentiment OF the meeting
referred to was strongly In favor of it
and No have heard very few persons
express any opposition toit.
If steps are to be taken during the
sitting of the present Legislature to
mako such q school possible, the special
committe appointed in the matter have
no time to lose; but need to make
this investigation earnestly and quick-
~ in order to give the desired lnforma-
tion whom another meeting shall be
called.
There are many good arguments
Tor graded school. A we'll managed
graded school would certainly i'm
provo the educational advantages for
tho people who live here already anc
it would be the means of bringing

hero and keeping some here who will
probably move away if the graded school
IL not established. Then 1t would be In

THE DOG TAX.

The bill to tax all dogs in the State
fifty cents head, in order to raise
more money to educate the children,
was debated with some humor.
Mr.. Rothrock, who introduced the
bill. said its object was clear. It was
to help tho State in its present sltua-
ton. and making it possible to appro-
pirate more Tor the children of the
State. Moreover, he had many of the
best citizens of bis county at his back
in the matter.
Mr.. Rountree offered to amend the
bill so as to make its provision legal.
He stated he was heartily in favor of
the bill.
Judge Conner said he was pleased
to have the opportunity at last of sup
porting measure to tax dogs, but the
bill should be amended so that 1t would
have effect it was intended to have. He
feared, as it stood, that it was not in
proper legal form.

SENATE-The Board of Agricul
tnre got skinnlng in the Senate yes
| terday.
Senators Scott of Alamance (autbo1
of pending billy and Woodland Of Viii.
son Zone or the best lawyers and bright.
est men in the ''upLer h~use") led in
the official cu,icle stripping act.
Neither appeared to enjoy the work
overmuch, but stoically performed it as
q public duty-as one Senator declared
IN commenting on the occurrence.
Senator Woodland declared that the
$65, 600 spent by the Agricultural De-
partment made as little showing in re-
turns as any similar sum ever exrend-
ed in North Carolina, and that the
board was not doing the work expected
of it.
Senator Scott declared that the OBJ
iect of his bill was to rid the Board of
Agriculture of broken-down or incom-
petent politicians who knew nothing
of farming and cared little for the far
mers' interests.
He also alluded vigorously to the
button-holing he had been subjected to
since introducing his bill, saying he
had never received so many attentions
before, and previously had no idea he
was person of such importance.
This bill required that only "practi-
cal farmers sh all be eligible as members
of the agricultural board, and created
some warm comments from several SEN
ators. The DILL was finally recon-
mitted in order that 1t might be
amended (upon consent Of author Of
bill, Senator Scot) so as to leave the
selection to Governor without saying
IN so many words that "none but prac-
teal farmers shall be eligible" to ap-
pointment and service on the board.
HOUSE-In tho House the contest
ed election case of J. w. McNeiIl (Re-
publlcan) against H. L. Green Dem
ocrat), from Wilkes, was decided in
favor of Mr.. Green, the sitting mem
her.
So palpably clear was Mr. Green en-
TITLED to the seat that he received the
v.te of two Republicans and Popullst
II etnbers of the House when the ballot
was taken on the result.
Aside from the charges of irregular
ty of the count of the vote, there was
l constitutional question involved,
which debarred Mr. McNeill was assis-
.ant postmaster at Wilksboro at the
line of the election, and the Constitu-
ion o North Carolina says any person

SENATE.-The only general legis-
lation enacted by the Senate was q bill
restoring the election of keeper of the
capitol to the Board of Public Works
and Grounds, which is constituted by
tie Governor and other State officers.
IN effort to give back to the keeper of
the capitol the appointment of janitor
OF the Supreme court building failed
and that position remains In the hands
OF the marshal of the Supreme court
and the keeper of the capitol jointly.
HOUSE-Two bills of general inter-
est caused some little discussion, which
resulted in each case in the bill being
re-committed for further consideration
The first of these was the bill to estab-
lish the North Carolina veterinary
Medical Association, and regulate the
practice OF veterinary medicine. Sew
eral of the members feared that the
measure would limit the profession to
such an extent that some districts
would suffer Tor want of veterinary.
Mr.. Daughtridge said that IN his coun-
ty, where dairy interests we're growing,
there was no veterinary surgeon, and
diseases among cattle were ircreas-
ing.
Mr.. Winston explained that the OBJ
ject of the bill was to protect the peo-
pie from quacks, and that it did
not prohibit from practicing those who
had formerly doctored horses and cat
tie.

Farmers as Legislators.

In nominating farmer for the leg islature select one of the shrewdest. most far-seeing, level-headed meu that the farm can furnish, a man who can not easily be deceived or led as- tray by lobbyists or legislators; a man who will not feel fattered by mileage books so that he can go home and see his farm every Saturday night without cost, telegraph or telephone franks so that he can communicate with his family when he pleases, or express franks by which he can re- ceive or send things to the farm with. out cost, and a man who will not be fiattered by attentions paid to his family when they come to see him. Select thorough-going, practical, shrewd man, with great common sense and sound judgment. By doing so farmers will have the voice in leg islation that their own financial in- terests require; otherwise not, no matter how many farmers are sent to the slaIure.-Wallace's Farmer.

HERE AND THERE.

Up to date the promise for fruit crops in the southwest is as favora- ble as could be expected, and nearly as favorable as could be desired.
 Every farmer should have an or- chard, berry patch and vineyard, and whether the fruit crops hit or miss they should always have an abundant supply of canned fruit, jel- lies, jams and preserves.
 -Horticulturists are almost univer- sally successful, financially and other wise. They are also a contented set, as is proven by the fact that having once entered into the business in any of it's branches, it is for life.
 Stray cats arc nuisance about a yard where there are young chicks. X small piece of fresh meat slightly sea- soned with strychnine placed convcn- iently after the chickens are housed for the night is good remedy.
 --"One advantage in breeding ducks is their freedom from disease says a poultry exchange. Another might be i1ClitlohSds fiZ.. thciA tO tCic bral and nervous disease. Paralysis is very common among ducks.
 The time has now come when the successful farmer must study crop statistics gathered from all parts of the world. The worlds supplies, sur- plus or deficiency and crop prospects of coming harvests must be taken in- to consideration.
 Before the Transvaal war South Africa owned more Angora goats than any other country engaged in the production of mohair for sale on the worlds market, but it is now report ed that about fifty per cent. of the goats in that unfortunate country have been killed off during the war, SO that the price of mohair is apt to ga vance.

cents per 100 pounds, that part of the

cents per 100 pounds. that part of the creamery business is profitable.
 The advantages of the creamery are, uniformity of butter, a greater uuan- tty of butter for given quantity of pilk, better prices per pound for but ter, less labor on the farm and a smaller outlay for the farmer. If the section of the country is adapted to oaIrying, the farmers may safely unite to form cooperative creamery association, but it takes some time to develop a good dairyman. Begin by binding up a-dairy herd, learn how to feed to the best advantage and to care for milk and its products. After sufficient number of farmers in the neighborhood have learned these points, they stand good chance of succeeding in the business. Feed reg uiariy. milk at the same time each day, provide pure drinking water, hay ing 1t warm in the winter time. and have well-ventilated stables. These may seem to be stale statements. but unless the directions are observed. the creamery business will not pay. See that the buttermaker you hire is com petent and is careful in all his details. The source of dissatisfaction comes frequently from variation in the milk test. Of course, the milk will vary some, but if the butter maker has looked after the testing carefully. trouble will not often occur from this source.
 A good dairyman must learn the in. dlviduality of every COW, and find just what ration and the kind of treatment are best for her. The COW that tests the highest is not necessarily the most profitable, but the one which Will produce the greatest amount of butter fat in year. In a co-opera- tiVe creamery the farmers can. with profit, unite in buying grain by the carload. Good roads are a factor in dairy region, and without them it is dl1hcult to make profit. Then, the farmers themselves must be thor ouShly honest. An actual occurrence m a cheese factory illustrates this necessity: One patron had a COW which gave on certain day stringy milk. Instead of keeping this at home, he sent it to the factory and caused the loss of 6,00O pounds of milk. By applying the curd test, the cause was discovered the second day.
 l have often asked dmyself why farm CTS could not cooperate successfully. Primarily they do not realize the power of their organization, and do not attempt to stand by an associa- tion when it is once formed. Cream cries have helped pay debts in Minne- sota, Iowa, South Dakota, Illinois, Wisconsin, and in all these sections the fertility of the soil has been in creased, while in the grain-growing regions it is gradually decreasing. Then, too, in dairy sections, most farmers own their own land, which is not the case so generally in grain- growing sections. Consequently, al. though cIeameries frequently fail, they are here to stay, and, of course, are more profitable where farmers have been educated along dairy lines. Ludwig Engleman, in Farm and Ranch.
