PEANUT CULTURE
HAS Big FUTURE
Department Of Agriculture
Shows Vast Possibilities of
This Crop.

Washington. y. c.. March 1i.-Tho
possibilities for the profita bio cultiva-
ton of the peanut in the southern
states, especially in the cotton boil
wecvi belt, where this insect has rem
dcrcd 1t almost Impossible to grow cot
ton with success, are pointed out in a
bulletin on The Peanut" just issued
by the Department of Agriculture. In
TACT 1t is shown that the peanut may
be grown in tho boil wcevil districts
in the South with much more prof,
than the white staple. When the value
OF tho commercial peanut crop OF the
United States for 1908 was estimated
AZ 2,ooo,ooO, the wonder Is expressed
that this article OF food is not more
generally cultivated, particularly in
the South and Southwest, where 1t can
DC grown al great profit. n
The demand for the peanut as an
article OF food is constantly growing.
In this connection the interesting fact
Is developcd that this country is a
large purchaser OF peanut oil from
abroad. while there are thousands OF
acres of waste lands in the South
capable Of producing enough peanuts
ming and furnish more than enough
oil tor home consumption.
That the cultivation or the peanut
is profitable industry may be seen
acre OF first-class peanuts, calcula tin <
the yield at a ton of vines Is worth
from SIS 10 $40, and 80 bushels OF peas
worth $40 to $50 Will give an income
OF SIS TO $40 The cost OF growing
an acre of peanuts is yariousiy esti-
mated at sl2 70 s25, thus showing a
net return of $50 to $40. This is above
the average for the crop as now grown
in the United states, it is stated but
decidedly lower than may be eXpcc ted
under favorable conditions and proper
cultural methods.

The Philadelphia Section, Council of
Jewish Women, is advocating "a Sane
Fourth of July? Why let modesty in
terfere? Let the ladies agitate for an
American celebration patterned after
the method the Jews have adopted of
memorializing their deliyerance from
bondage. Nothing in the way of holt
days approaches the sanity of our
own blessed Pesach; fit model for the
American Fourth.
