SUCCESS IN PEANUTS.
Recommended as One Crop in
Diversification Scheme.
Believed That as Large Returns Can
be Secured as From Cotton. Even
Before the Advent of the Little
Boil Weevii.
fBy H. c. THoMPsoN.l

(By II. c. THOMPSON.)
With the advent of the boil weevil
In Mississippi. farmers and agricultural
workers of the state and national gov
eminent began to look for a money
crop which would in part at least take
the place of cotton Peanuts had been
grown successfully In Louisiana for
few years so 1t was natural for the
farmers Of Mississippi to give them
trial. Aside from a small area in the
southwestern section of the state.
where few enterprising men have
been growing peanuts for two or three
years, the industry is a new enc. This
is the first year in most sections and
the acreage for market is about $4,000
with indications for a large increase
next year.
While do not claim any big things
for peanuts. and do not advise anyone
to grow them who has no confidence
in them. / do believe that we can Sc
cure as large or larger returns per
acre than has been secured from cot
ton. even before the advent of the boil
weevil. do not believe in growing
peanuts to the exclusion of other crops.
but recommend them as one crop to
be used in the scheme of diversified
ton now being advocated.
The boil weevil forced you TO change
your methods and in few years you
will be better OF than you ever have
been. because you have been taught
to live at home. Wherever we find a
section or man growing feed for the
stock and food for the table we find q
prosperous section or prosperous
man. 1t is well known fact that In
years past the Southern states spent

Washington Progrum Wednesday Night
4 Great Success

What is asserted by many to have
been the best entertainment ever given
in the Auditorium was furnished Wed
nesdu, night by the pupils OF tue
Welsh Schools in their Washington
Birthday Program. AS Is usual WIN
school entertainments, the house was
packed TO the limit, standing room be-
ing at u premium. The work OF the
pupils in every number rendered was
as uear perfect as it is allotted to hu-
manity to be, The little tots OF the
lower grades carried out their parts
so naturally aud with such childish
grace as to elicit the admiration ana
applause of the entire audience. While
everything was most eXcellentlv rem
dered the Minuett given by fourcoupIeS
of the higher grades was especially
pleasing to the audience.
Aside from the excellent manner IN
which the pupils were drilled, for
which no little praise is due the teach
ers of the several rooms that took part,
much praise is due for the choice OF Il
programs in which every number
seemed especially fitted to the abilities
of those taking part.
The costuming of all who took part
was another very attractive feature OF
the entertainment. Praise is due for
this feature, in no small degree to the
! mothers, of the Children, who doubt
less .pent many hours and no small
amount of money in preparing SO
many handsome and appropriate
costumes,
The entire entertainment was thor
oughly ENJOYED by every one present
and full measure of praise is due to
teachers, parents aud pupils for its
many excellent features. Nor does the
good accomplished by such an enter.
taiIment and with the amusement OF
the hour, as the drill that Children re-
ceive ia such an entertainment is u
part of an education that is and will
be an advantage to them throughout
life.
