three TO four feet in diameter and
Eve to six feet high. Gaping the shock
with grass. The shock is allowed 10
stand until the peas and vines are
thoroughly cured.
Yield--A good crop in any portion OF
Louisiana should yield from sixty'hVe
10 100 bushels per acre. The Expert
,aent stations have produced a litte
over 100 bushels per acre on sooo
crop. The Arkansas station reports
Yields of from ninety-hve TO i'2 BUSH
els per acre. Reports from smali
farmers in north Louisiana Indicate
Yields in that section OF from eighty
To- 100 bushels per acre.
Preparation for Market-1To 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 bushcl Of TWEEN
ty.two pounds varies from 90 10 30
cents. The average price for ten
years at Norfolk. Va, is said to be 90
cents per bushel.
Peanuts for oil Production-Pea'
nuts contain from IS to 80 per cent
oil Prime oil is said TO be worth 90
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 a valua-
bic stock feed and should bring from
500 TO s25 per ton when the meats
and hulls are mixed. or from s2S to
$50 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 3i3 pounds OF pork, while the
same amount OF land in corn produced
only iO9 pounds OF pork. The Ala
bama Station found that hogs pas
turing on a peanut field made much
cheaper gains than on cowpeas, swest
potatoes or sorghum.

A|N|E ORGANS ARE
&c TING BE TER
GOVERNMENT FIGURES SHOW THAT CHURCHES GROW
FASTER THAN COUNTRY WOMEN LEAD IN RELIGIOUS
SPIRIT.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The
census bureau has just issued a
bulletin, based on the last religious
census in 1906, which confirms the
belief of ministers and public men
that the whole country is getting
better.
A mass of figures bearing on re-
ligion and churches has been col
lected by special census statisti-
clans. Among others, they have
found two significant facts: first.
that the churches are growing
more rapidly that the country it
self; second. that the membership
of the Roman Catholic church has
grown more than twice as fast as
the Protestant churches since the
last census was compiled I'm 1890,
six years earlier. The Jewish con-
gregations, too, show a remarkable
growth. There are now 101, 457
Jewish congregations.
The wealth that is invested in
the country's church buildings
represents more than any big
trust ever has accumulated.
II all the churches of the United
States were put on the realty auc-
ton block, they would bring the
stupendous sum of $1,257,575,8 1857.
or these huge holdings, the Ro-
man Catholic denomination owns
$292,63S,787, this not including
the value of other institutions
maintained by the church, such as
hospitals, orphanages, etc.
Protestant church property is
valued at $935,942,57s, which is
an increase of $3S6,246,S71 over
nine years ago.
1t Is the women as a class who
mainly are responsible for the i'm
mense showing of the nations
churches. Men form only 43.1 per
cent of the church-going popula-
ton.
Should some wonder of science
enable one minister to address all
churches at the same time,
through the telephone, and the
churches were filled, he would
have the magnificent audience of
5S,536,S30 persons.
Figures, while not yet given out
by the department, prove that
music enters greatly into modern
church worship. Millions of dollars
have been spent for pipe organs
and the training of choirs.
Viewed strictly as a business
proposition, there is no such an
amount of capital tied up in any
other undertaking which draws its
interest-in this case human souls
so quietly, and which is directed
SO ably.
The significant fact about the
growth of churches is that they are
growing faster than the country is.
Nearby two thousand years
after the dawn of the Christian
era, we have glimpse of the
