adapted.to certain sections than to
others. For instance, in Brunswick
and New Hanover counties the Will
mington pea is grown to the exclusion
Of all others Along the Roanoke
river the Spanish is grown more than
any other. The latter is the best to
grow for hogs and stock, for the rea-
son that it will grow on any soil that
the cowpea will, and without the use
of lime and land plaster. The large
varieties are the best sellers, as the
bulk Of the American crop is sold by
vendors on the streets, and the large
peas are prettier and fill up faster
than the small.
It has been ascertained that peanuts

the Old country at an early date,
having been used as a. staple food on
board the slave ships in the trade
with America. 1t was introduced into
North America soon after colonization,
but it was not until about the close
Of the War Between the States that
it began to spread throughout the
South, and become of Importance as
a commercial crop. It was carried to
various parts of the country by the
soldiers travelling throughout the pea
nut sections of North Carolina and
Virginia. They found how good it
was to eat and took some home in
their pockets. and planted on their
own farms. From this the cultiVa-

today it is grown in nearly all Of the

he "Goober" Principal CropsSeven Million
Bushels Of Peanuts Consumed by the People in the
Cities Of America Annually

Seven million bushels of peanuts are
consumed annually by the people in
the cities of America, and the largest
profit from the crop goes to the farm
ers of North Carolina, this State out
ranking all others in peanut acreage
and production. The palatableness OF
the peanut has caused its spread, and
1T has high commercial value as a
luxury and as food. Originally the
food-value Of the ''goober'' was known
chiefly to the slave dealer, before the
Civil War, but today it is celebrated
not only by the circus crowd and
theatre gallery complement, but uni
varsally is a favorite nut. It's uses
are multitudinous, and the culture of
this crop brings handsome returns to
the grower.

ment Of Agriculture, issued this

production in bushels being 421,138,
and in 1899 there were planted 95,S5
acres, with a production Of 3,46o,439
bushels-an average of 36.1 bushels
per acre as against 23.2 bushels for
the entire United States, the value of
the North Carolina crop being esti-
mated at $1,S52,110.
In the decade of 1890 to 1900 the
largest gain in area and production
Of any State in the Union was in North
Carolina, where the area cultivated in>
creased 1895 per cent and the pro-
eduction increased 1911 per cent. The
acreage for North Carolina in 1899
was 1875 per. cent of the total acreage
and it's production 28.9 per cent of
the entire United States. There has
been a marked increase in acreage and
production since the figures referred
to above We're collected.
There are several varieties of pea
nuts known; however, those Of most
Importance to the farmers of North
Carolina and Virginia are the Virginia
and Running varieties, the North Car
olina Bunch and Running (much the
same as the Virginia), the Spanish, and
the Wilmington or North Carolina.

BETTER TAKE CHANCES
WITH COTTON

with the drought in Texas the cotton
crop will be so late that much corn
will be planted.
We have urged our farmers to
greatly increase their hos and corn
crops, believing that both cotton and
tobacco will be low.
There is really more money in corn
and wheat at ST and $125 per bushel
and meat at the present price than
either cotton Or tobacco.
We hope our people will be very
careful this year when they pitch
their crops. Especially do we con-
slider it extremely dangerous to plant

BASEBALL PLAYERS
ARE GREAT READERS

Baseball players are great readers.
Moreover, they are, as a rule, well post
ed on the affairs of the day. They have
so much spare time to while away that
it is natural that they turn to news
papers and books. For it is a notable
fact that they are anxious to work their
way up in the world of business after
they have thrown off the mantle of the
diamond.
Cooks discovery of the north pole
has set them on 4 rampage. If there is
anything ball player loves it is a man
who does something" One of the most
interested Of ball players in the discOv-
cry is Fielder Niles of the Boston Red
SoX. And he is more particularly inter-
ested because he believed all the time
that the pole would be found by an
alrship party. You see, Niles is him
self a ballOOnist of note. In past days
he has gone way up in the clouds and
come down in a parachute
Moreover, Player Niles is somewhat
of a scientist. If any ball player in the
country would have loved a trip in a
dirigible balloon to the pole it is this
selfsame Niles. He believes that such
thing is possible, and is paying a lot
of attention to the coming trip of Count
Zeppelin to the polar regions. Niles does
not, however, believe that the south
pole could be discovered by a balloon.

KETCHEL DOES NOT THINK BLACK
CAN HIT HARD enough To HURT

In telling what Will happen next
month, Stanley Ketchel says: Lang
ford was planning on getting me into
the ring and permitting me to swing
at him, so that he could stoU in and
cop me. I trained for an entirely diff
ferent fight. I worked only to perfect
uppercuts, shOrt-arm jOlts and such
work as is needed for close fighting. 1
did not intend to stand off and box
with him, but I would have battered
him down with infighting. I'm sorry 1
lost the chance, but it may come again.
AS for Johnson, why, he's meat for
me. I'll trim him sure. For Johnson I
viii use my regular style, the style that
dropped O'Brien to the floor in three
rounds.
I will rush and swing at Johnson,
and I believe 1 can block any of his
leads. Johnson proved in the O'Brien
fight that he is no great mixer, and
that's where I'll get him. I know his
weak points and will play for them.
Taking the time I trained in the east
and the three weeks I will get in The
west, 1 will have had five weeks of the
greatest kind of training. The rest in
between is the greatest thing a fighter
could have.
Had I started training three weeks
ago and gone through five solid weeks
of work, I would have gone stale. As
it is, l trained two hard weeks in the
east and put myself in grand shape.

AUTO DRIVERS
NEED TRAINING
Many Accidents in Road Races
Attributed to the Lack
of Condition.

New York, Oct. THAT training for
the hard automobile road races that
follow each other so regularly nova
days is very important has been demon
strated by the all too frequent acct
dents of late. A jOTity of these aC-
cidents have been due TO the collapse
OF the drivers, although this fact has
never been officially recognized. other
causes have been given Oftentimes.
blame being laid at the door of tires
bursting, and so on. With drivers in
shape to stand the strain of hard races,
many of the deplOrable accidents might
have been avoided.
1t stands to reason that this must
be true, for men go into these contests
not prepared to cope with sudden
strains. When things run smoothly all
is well, but accidents occur as a rule
along towards the finish of races. Like
incidents in the opening hours of the
race 90 not cause trouble, and why
should they cause any more trouble at
the finish? The reply is rather in line
with the argument
The drivers are tired and cannot con-
troll their muscles at q time when con-
troll is most necessary. With the for
nation of teams the makers will do
well to appoint trainers and put their
drivers in strict training for events.
This wSs done in the old days of cycle
racing, when pacing teams were trained
quite as seriously as was the case with
the pace-fOllOwing stars.
OF the leading drivers Of today nearly
every man takes the best of care Of
himself, and il is a matter of history
that majority of the accidents have
been serious when the drivers have
been new and unframed. Those who
risk their lives regularly believe in liv-
ing long enough to make their ardu-
Gus labor pay, and so take the best of
care of their health at all times 90

hard enough to hurt me-"
ketchel spoke with all the sincerity
that a person can possess. He flashed
a big roll of bills and said he would bet
much upon the fight, but demanded pre-
vailing odds.
Britt is as confident of victory over
Johnson as his fighter. why, the dope
will show that Ketchel is equal to any
thing Johnson can do. Stanley dropped
O'Brien, and Johnson had all he could
do to best him. 1t is true Johnson
dropped O'Brien, but he permitted him
to get up and weather the storm
Not so with Steve. He put OBrien
down and as soon as he got up put him
down again. I'll watch Ketchel work
and we viii get that haymaker work
ing like a clock. Jeff will never need

PAGERS.
KETCHEL WILL GO AFTER
THE FOREIGN CHAMPIONS

Chicago, Sept. 25-Win, lose or draw
in his fight with Jack Johnson on Oct
Y for the heavyweight championship of
the world, Stanley Ketchel and his
manager, Willus Britt, will cross the
pond to invade the foreign countries, as
Willus Britt says, ITO clean up all the
foreign champions" Britt declares he
has an offer from Mcintosh to fight
Tommy Burns in Australia, which is as
good as he could expect on this side Of
the water, and that with the other
matches in sight will net them a nice
piece of change, besides giving them a
chance to see the country.
Ketchel certainly does not look for
much praise from the western fight
fans. This was apparent by the talk
that he looked for Johnson to be a 5-to-
2 favorite over him. Local fans are
hailing KetChel as a good fighter, but
there are few who believe that he is
equal to the task Of beating Johnson. If
Ketchel goes in after Johnson, swing
ing right and left, the big black will
move aside and hook over jabs, joits
and uppercuts that will make Stanley
retreat

RECRUITS COST MONEY.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-BasebaT magnates
risk fortunes in building W a team 1t
is even more risky investing a lot of
money on minor league material than it
is gambling on stocks during an unset
tied period Of the market. A club owner
may put tens of thousands of dollars
in few promising youngsters. and. at
the end Of the spring training trip, find
that not one of them is worth while
keeping on his team.
The most conspicuous example of all
is seen in the case Of Charles Comiskey.
owner Of the Chicago White SOx.
Although the exact sum has not been
given out, nor will it be, it has been
estimated that the "Old Roman" has
sunk 100000 in new men. Ever since
the Sox Won the worlds championship
some three years ago the team has been
going backward. The veterans are
growing older all that time and little
new blood has been infused into the
team. Consequently COmiskey has felt
bound to give his squad a big shake-up

with the valuable assistance of his Of
fetal scout, Ted Sullivan, have cost a
pile of coin. One man in particular,
Shortstop BLACKBURN OF Providence, will
eventually come to upward of $4,000,
one of the highest prices ever paid for
q minor league inflelder. Another man,
Zeider OF the Coast League, will come
near that figure.
All of this shows that Comiskey has
grown desperate. The sum of 500, GOO
is a bunch Of cash to invest on untried
major league material, but it shows the
tendency Of the times.
