WE DON'T RAISE
 ALL OUR PEANUTS
(New Bedford Standard.)

Five million pounds of peanuts is quite 8 heap. But pretty nearly that amount came to this country last year from Japan. in exchange for nearly $1S0.000 of our money. But that is a mere nothing compared with the amount of peanuts raised in this coun- try and to a good extent consumed right here; and the sum total of our peanut-eating is swelled by some lien upon Spains crop of the popular little peanut. The Spanish peanut is also grown in some quantity in this coun- try, having been successfully introduc- ed into Virginia and North Carolina, where of our own Southern States chief attention is paid to peanut cul- ture. Take it altogether. the Amer jean consumption of the product reaches a very considerable figure. It's good service as food has come to be generally recognized only of compara- lively recent times, but now we are wise enough to put it to a variety of food uses. Some question has been raised as to the practicability of rely ing upon the Japanese peanut. with the possibility of deterioration on the long journey over But of that coun- try's exporta+ion last year, we took nearly four-fifthS
