tion employed by Mr. Tippit and
would certainly do at least hllf as
we'll for the farmer under ordinary
conditions
Mr. TippIt has founi that the
peanuts make ideal food for all sorts
OF stock and that they will leave
any other food for peanuts every
time. Incidentally he has accidentally
learned that peanuts are the great.
est egg producing food that hens
can eat. Last fall he had too large
flock OF fowls and sent half Of
them 10 the country retaining about
% hens. Since November these fowls
have averaged from Is 20 90 eggs
daily, while the other part Of the
flock has been shirking its duty al.
most altogether. The fowls that have
been kept at home have been fed
principally on peanuts and have been
uniformly in good health. Mr.. Tip.
pit Is so much interested in peanut
culture that he will sell limited
quantity OF seed TO any who wish
TO try the crop this year but who
have thus far been unable to pro-
cure any seed.
Mr. Tippit has been a pioneer in
the trucking business here and the
publicity that he has allowed 10 be
given his successes has been OF
great value in the way OF interesting
others in small crops. Last season
Mr. Tippit sold s1097O worth OF
strawberries at wholesale off less
than one-tenth OF an acre OF ground.
besides receiving over a third as
much for plants. He has increased
his patch this year and others have
been induced TO try Strawberries so
that the production about Ardmore
this year will probably be ten times
as much as last year. Mr.. Tippit
has also been very successful with
pumpkin yam potatoes and has a
quantity saved for seed this season.

weeks in Florida recuperating from

complete recovery to a sea voyage
which he took. of Key West he was

the instructions Of his physician he
spent nearly all the time on deck.
and during the storm the pitching OF

to this he has not felt a recurrence
