HOW PEANUTS PAY.

II Ii very easy TO write a pretty
story showing big gains TO be derived
from the planting and growing of any
crop. but it's a different thing when
Il comes TO realizing on the crop
However we have CLEANED the follow
ing facts which you can rely on:
Mr.. Albert Hosea planted 10 acres
In peanuts on Mr.. Parker's place this
year, had a poor stand. but sold s.ls5
pounds OF nuts which brought s275.55.
In addition TO this he put up 392 bales
of peanut hay. which would weigh
about ten tons. worth $4,000 how.
Add this 20 the amount received for
the peanuts and the sum would be
s425.55. II cost 5000 to have the
peanuts threshed and the hay baled,
leaving s374.s5 for growing and har-
yesting the crop. which is s25 per
acre. lacking one-third OF a cent. Re
member that he had a poor stand and
the seasons have been un~favorabie.

Mr.. ana Mrs. Jas. Wilson .Jr. Of
Edge were In the city today shopping.
IN conversation with MT. Wilson he
stated 70 the reporter that he atten-
ded Trades Day at Normangee n a
recent Saturday. and was surprised
At lie magnitude. They instituted the
Trades Day a short time ago and hold
them monthly and In this short time
Mr.. Wilson says II has grown to be
q regular little fair. The exhibits In
all departments were fine and there
were no many that they filled n large
building. Nice premiums were offer
ed and they were Of sufficient induce
ment TO bring out the exhibits and to
attract a large crowd. The little town
did a wonderful business on that day.
Mr.. Wilson stated that one firm
whose average Saturday business was
$500. sold more than $1,000 on Trades
Day.
Another thing about IL and for
which Bryan had better look out. II
drew n lot OF people and trade from
Brazos county. One Brazos county
man won a five dollar premium for
buying the biggest bill OF goods on
that day and another drew $500 for
coming the greatest distance to trade.
MIR. Wilson stated that his aged
mother took the premium for the old
est Counterpart. The n exhibited
was made by her mother In 1906 and
In 1903 years old. Il Is still in a good
state OF preservation.
Bryan must smoke up. We want
trade from other counties and not let
other towns draw trade from Brazos.
II is up to Bryan TO get busy and stay
busy. The first step is a general
movement all along the line for bet
aer roads. Build good dirt roads into
Bryan and the trade will come.
