PEANUT RAISING PROFITABLE.
Crop More Valuable in Yield Thar
Cotton Growing-Average Price
Probably 81 a Bushel.

Peanut raising in Mississippi is an
established industry, according to Mr..
c. U. Dahlgren Of Gloster, and Is o
more valuable crop than cotton. Land
that will yiC-d an average of SIS an
acre in cotton will produce % per cent
more in peanuts, while the cost of cul-
tivating and gathering the crop is Is
per cent less than cotton.
When the boil weevil infested that
part of the state near Summit and
Gloster, the merchants and farmers
began to look around for a substitute
crop. Mr.. G. H. Barney, president,
and Mr.. c. U. Dahlgren, manager, of
the Gloster cotton seed oil mill, fig
ured on crop that would furnish
them with raw material, with the re-
suit that large area has been plant
ed in peanuts.
While the crop has not been har-
vested, experiments have been made
which show that the land will yield
from so to 100 bushels of peanuts to
the acre. A minimum price of rs
cents will be paid for the entire crop,
but as the demand for peanuts Is
greater than the supply for eating, it
is believed the average price will be
close to 81 a bushel At rs cents a
bushel peanuts will bring better re-
turns than cotton, as the meal can
be used for stock feed, but at 81 a
bushel the financial returns will ex-
coed cotton by large margin. 1t is
estimated that the average yield to
the acre will be close to 80 bushels,
which, at rs cents, will be $50 an
acre,

POETRY WORTH
READING
Don't Forget the Old Folks.

Don't Forget the Old Folks.
Nay, don't forget the old folks, boys
They've not forgotten you;
Though years have passed since you
were home, the old hearts still
are true;
And not an evening passes by they
haven't the desire
To see your faces once again and hear
your footsteps higher.
You're young and buoyant and for you
Hope beckons with her hands,
And life spreads out waveless sea
that laps but tropic strands;
The world is all before your face, but
let your memories turn
To where fond hearts still cherish you
and loving bosoms yearn.
No matter what your duties are nor
what place in life.
There's never been a time they'd not
assume your load OF strife;
And shrunken shoulders, trembling
hands, and forms racked by dis
ease,
Would bravely dare the grave to
bring to you the pearl Of peace.
So don't forget the old folks, boys
they've not forgotten you;
Though years have passed since you
were home, the old hearts still
are true;
And write them now and then to
bring the light into their eyes.
And make the world glow once again
and bluer CLEAN the skies.

MUST SELL BONDS OR BORROW
Deficit, Large and Growing, Stares
Mississippi in the Face.

Unless the governor can dispose OF
ct least a part of the 100000 bond
issue before November l, there will
not be enough money in the treasury
to buy last years straw hat at this
years bargain counter sale. But at
least 100000 of these bonds will be
sold before that date, it is believed,
which will be enough for the state
officers to draw a part of their sal
aries, enough for one or two meal
tickets.
The state treasury contains about
$118,000 at this time, and of this $45,-
900 is for the A. & M. College, at
Starkville, and AlcOrn A. & M. Col
lege, at Rodney. This money can not
be used for any other purpose, or If
it should be, the state would forfeit
the appropriation made by the federal
government for these institutions.
With about $3.50, 900 due by the state
November l, the financial prospects of
Mississippi are anything but pleasant
to contemplate. The governor can, If
he fails to sell the state bonds, or
enough of them to tide over till taxes
begin to come in, borrow enough
money to meet current expenses. But
In addition to the funds due the va
rious institutions of the state Novem-
Der 1, current expenses of the govern
ment amount to between SIS, 800 and
500, 900 a month, which must be met.
The pensions due November
amount to 100000, and $105,000 will
be due the tax assessors of the IS
counties when they complete their re-
ports. Then interest amounting to
$4,000 must be paid to the state uni
versity, in addition to $4,000 on the
land grant. The state will owe the
Industrial Institute and College at Co.
lumbus $4,000 interest on that date,
which makes total of close to $685.
O00.
AS an Offset to this the state has
about $4,000 available, and if last
year can be taken as a criterion, will
receive for September and October, on
account of privilege taxes, about &c.
900. But this will give the state only
about $1O5,000 with which to meet cur
rent expenses and pay these obliga-
tions, which must be met.

Why is it that such warning and

This warning and admonition is also
especially necessary now because in
this age of opportunity and develop

ever was possible before. When God

Banks to Handle Crop.

The banking institutions of Missis.
sippi are in the midst of preparations
for handling the seasons cotton crop
and the leading financiers of the state
take a very hopeful view of the stu
alton. According to prominent bank.
ers, it is probable that the amounts
drawn from the Eastern financial cen.
tiers for the purpose of handling the
cotton crop will not be as large as last
year. This is due chiefly to the fact
that the banks in Mississippi are more
literally supplied with home money
having over $60,OOO,OO0 on deposit.

engagements, it is said, have been per-
