II Means Health
For the Child

The careful mother, who watches close

GOT THE LETTERS MIXED
Clerayman's Mistake Resulted In Civ.
Ing Decided Surprise to Digni-
fled Archbishop.

One of the most amusing stories
which the Hon. Lionel A. Tollemache
tells in Nuts and Chestnuts," is that
entitled, 1.-The Wrong Envelope Mr..
M, a missionary, shortly before
leaving England, received two letters
one from Archbishop TAFT asking him
to dine, and the other from the secre-
tary of a religious society, a very old
friend, asking him to preach. He ac-
copied the archbishop's invitation,
and at the same time wrote to the
secretary, but put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: "Mr. M,
do you always answer your dinner in
vitations in the same way?"
II do not understand, your grace"
The letter, which was then shown to
the missionary, raj thus: "You old
rascal! Why did you not ask me be-
fore? You know perfectly well that
l shall be or the high seas on the date
you name."-London Tit-Bits.

IT Is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause Of pain. Think of the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, SO essen
tial to happiness and even success In
life, are often only a matter of a little
thoughtful care in the selection Of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
80 little, that 1t is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. 81 L. Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample Of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

ties Of life that could better be pro
duced at home. The solution Of the
problem, therefore. is to reduce your
acreage of cotton and grow other
crops. The results being secured in
Mississippi this year indicate that
peanuts is n crop that should be
grown.
T. , peanut crop is not what IL
should be this year, because Of the
poor stand, the lack Of proper prepare
ton of soil, lack of good cultivation.
and unfaVorable weather conditions.
Wherever we find q good stand and
where the peanuts properly cult
waited we find a good yield. Many
farmers who planted peanuts had no
faith in the crop, and what work they
did was done in a half-hearted way.
We would not expect good results from
any other crop under these conditions,
and should not expect them from pea
nuts. Considering all Of these factors
the crop is good. The yield will vary
all the way from 10 to 75 bushels per
acre, with the average for the state
rs to 80 bushels per acre. Thirty
bushels is about an average, but Is not
a good yield any more than one-third
Of q bale Of cotton is a good yield.
We find many farmers securing 40. 80
or go bushels Of peanuts and from
three-fourths to a ton Of hay per acre.
Throughout Mississippi we find q
poor stand Of peanuts and a resulting
poor yield. The poor stand is due to
the use of immature and broken seed
and to poor preparation of the seed
bed and unfavorable weather condi.
lions. The immaturity of the nuts was
due to the fact that they were har-
vested too soon and picked from the
vines before they were properly filed
out. The nuts were badly broken in
threshing. We will look for better re-
suits next year, because the farmers
will save their WI seed and In many
cases pick them off by hand. Each
farmer who is growing peanuts, should
save his own seed and make a selec-
ton Of the best plants at harvest
time. The ideal plant is one with a
heavy yield of large. uniform nuts
clustered around the base. Whenever
such a plant is found 1t should be
thrown aside and put up in a separate
seed stack"

SUCCESS IN PEANUTS.
Recommended as One Crop in
DiYersifiCation Scheme.
Believed That AZ Large Returns Can
be Secured as From Cotton, Even
Before the Advent of the Little
Boil Weevll.
(By q. c.

Wy ~ -. ME6O
With the advent Of the boil weevil
h Mississippi, farmers and agricultural
workers Of the state and national gov
eminent began to look for a O
crop which would in part at least take
the place of cotton. Peanuts had been
grown successfully In Louisiana for a
few years 80 1t was natural for the
farmers of Mississippi to give them a
trial Aside from a small area in the
southwestern section Of the state,
where a few enterprising men have
been growing peanuts for two or three
years, the industry is a new one. This
is the first year in most sections and
the acreage for market is about 80, 900
with indications for a large increase
next year.
While I do not claim any big things
for peanuts, and do not advise anyone
to grow them who has no confidence
IL them, l 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. I 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 a few years you
Will be better off than you ever have
been, because you have been taught
