Four vapon loads. averaging
10 bushels each, of sacked pea.
nuts were brought in Friday and
found a ready market at q good
price Every farmer who has
planted the nut this year has
nothing but praise for its per.
formancos, NO matter what the
yield. Considering the condi.
tons the past year the peanut
has paid a better net dividend
than any other crop planted, If
it will do well under such condi-
tons. what does il promise
when the seasons and other con
ditions are all in its favor?
Again, we say, from the eXper-
fence of all who have tried it,
and who have purchased the
right to speak plant peanuts
next year, but don't forget that
little patch of broomcorn either.
Colorado Record.
The peanut crop is one Of the
best paying crops that is raised
in Texas, today. Why the far
mers will not raise more of them
is mystery that is hard to
solve. Take the Plains land that
is the best land in the State,
land that will grow anything
that can be grown elsew hsre in
the State, and makes more to
the acre, and let our farmers
plant it in peanuts and their
bank account would double next
year when they harvest their
crop. Most average land will
raise from 80 to Is bushels of
peanuts to the acre and they
will bring on the market on an
average Of 70 cents 10 81. p per
bushel, and then bale the peanut
hay (which by the way is the
finest hay for stock that is
grown today and it win bring
from 30 cents % 80 cents per
bale, making ON an average Of
about $1,000 per acre on the hay

TO the acre and sometimes more,
made off Of peanuts. One rea-
son why most farmers do not
plant more peanuts, 1t looks 10
them like that il is too small
stuff 10 make money off Of, and
they content themselves by
planting little patch in the
garden TO eat during the winter
in place Of planting sixty or sew
enty acres in them. and reaping
a rich reward. Cotton, corn,
maize nor kaihr corn is in IL be

is not half the work in making
a peanutcrop as there is in max

clinched. The men will fight for the
surprisingly small purse of $4,000, ri
which $4,000 will go to the winner an !
$4,000 to the loser.
But there is an excellent reason why
Johnson and Langford have accepted
1t appears the National Sporting club

that in return for this favor, Sam Fitz

Johnson would return to England &c
