three to four feet In diameter and five to six feet high, capping the shock with grass. The shock is allowed to stand until the peas and vines are thoroughly cured.
 Yield-A good crop in any portion or Louisiana should yield from slXty-nVe to 100 bushels per acre. The EApel- ment Stations have produced llttie over 100 bushels per acre on a good crop. The Arkansas Station reports yields of from ninety-five to l72 bufh- els per acre. Reports from small farmers in north Louisiana indicate yields in that section of from eighty to 100 bushels per acre.
 Preparation for Market-To be pre- pared for the market the peas must be separated from the vines and thor oughly ridden of the adhering dirt. Va rious mechanical devices are help full in this work. Peanut threshers are on the market and are said to do satisfactory work.
 Price-The price per bushel of twen- ty-two pounds varies from 50 to S5 cents. The average price for ten years at Norfolk, Va, is said to be 65 cents per bushel.
 Peanuts for Oil Production-Pea nuts contain from 35 to 50 per cent oil. Prime oil is said to be worth 50 cents per gallon. The lower grades used for soap stock would bring a much lower price, as they would come into competition with the soap stock in the form of cotton seed oil. The residue after the oil Is extracted is valua- ble stock feed and should bring from $2O to $25 per ton when the meats and hulls are mixed or from $25 to S3O per ton when the hulls are sepa- rated before the oil is extracted
 Peanut Hay-Peanut hay. when well cured Is most excellent forage, The Louisiana Stations have shown that peanuts are most excellent for fatten- ing hogs. The Arkansas Station found that one-fourth acre in peanuts pro- duced 313 pounds of pork, while the same amount of land in corn produced only 109 pounds of pork. The Ala bama Station found that hogs pas turing on a peanut field made much cheaper gains than on cowpeas, sweet potatoes or sorghum.

 Green Fields.

A young teacher from the country secured a place in one of the public schools in the ghetto district on the East side in New York. One day, feeling the "spring fever" herself, she spoke to her class about it. Did they know that spring had come?
 They stared, dull and unrespon- sive. Down there among the brick wa!ls; ;'w}sat ,|El22 t22scy kaow Of spring

William and .dary nad lost two
games in the championship series of
the Eastern Virginia intercollegiate
Association and even its most ardent
supporters did not think that the
eleven had chance against Rich

surprised everybody and licked the
spiders with comparative ease.
Last season William and Mary lost
the game In the championship series
and was defeated by Hampden Sid
ney in the championship game by a
score of 10 to 0, but when tue teams
met here on Thanksgiving Day, VII

The game Thursday promises to be
one OF the best ever played in this
