MAY Be CONVERTED
into PEANUT MILL
Suggested that Machinery Of Nigh -Rutladge
SaWtnlll Be Used for the "COming Industry
FINDERS A PAYING CROP
The Hay VIII Pay for the Production 81 the
Spanish Peanut -SOme Idea As to How
to Plant and Cultivate Them.

1t has been suggested that the
machinery of the old Nigh-Rut-
ledge saWmill, located within the
corporate limits of the city of
Opelousas, be converted into a.
peanut mill-a mill that will hull
and peel the nut ready for the
market.
It is said that the cost would
not be SO great, and such action
would open the door to a profita
BILE industry, for there seems to
be no doubt but that peanut cul-
ture pays well.
Two or three crops can be
made every year, with prac-
ticalIy no labor. The minimum
price for the nut in shell is sew
enty-fve cents a busheL, and it
will grow 30 or more bushels to
the acre. 1t is said that the hay.
from the vine will pay for the
cultivation. Besides this, the
planting of peanuts enriches the
soil equal, it is said, to peas.
Mr.. Isacks, who has had some
experience with the buying of
peanuts, thinks well of the in
dustry. He tells us that rice
thrashing machines can be equip
ped with an attachment that will
thrash peanuts at a very small
Icost.
Some information about the
peanut is given in the following
circular:
The best variety of peanuts
to raise for the market are the
Spanish peanuts.
They are planted IN the
Spring IN rows of about 2 to 8
feet apart, by putting two to-
three nuts to the hill and 8 to 10.
Inches to the drill.
They need no blowing or pick
ling from the ground when gath
ering. Vines of a hill are grasp
ed and pulled and every nut
leaves the ground still clinging
to the vine; thus many acres may
be harvested by one hand, TO.
each acre of cotton he would
pick.
1t is stated that two crops
have been grown on the same
land in one season.
The crop is about as reliable
as could be expected and not
subject to the miseries Of the
cotton crop, and the farmer can
make more money out Of it than
he does out of cotton.
The peanuts are pulled end
shocked like wheat-but IN small
shocks to cure the hay and loose
the peanuts from same.
They are cultivated IN an or
binary manner, for keeping the
land as clean as possible until
the vines begin to bloom; after
that the vines should not be dis
turbed at all, but the middles
may be cultivated if necessary.
1T requires about one hushel
to plant an acre, and the nuts tG
plant will cost about So pei
bushel.
An acre will yield from one to
three tons, according to cultiya-
ton and are generally worth
from $25 to $50 per ton as soon
as they are delivered to the
buyer.
THE boil Weevil does not
bother them and they are ready
for sale very nearly as soon as
they are gathered. furthermore,
the crop is generally all ready at
once, and not like cotton which
keeps on making bolls.
Besides the peanuts, an acre
will yield about a ton and a half.
Of hay which is superior to alfal
IA or any other hay"

tried it, and just imagined they
couldn't do it.
Now it promises to be q pay
ing crop, and one in the near
future extensively engaged in.
Thirty-five bushels to an acre
is a conservative yield for oats
here. The yield on the expert
mental farms of the Government
show a much greater yield, 90
ing up as high as 50 bushels.
The government will establish
three additional experimental
farrnsin thenear future: at Vile
Platte, Church Point and at some
point on Bayou Boeuf.

CHEVSF FOR POLICE IN
SPfCTOR OF ORLEANS
Eminent Journalist Urged for Important POSI-
tlGR, and Belief Is Thai He VIII Get It
A NATIVE OF THIS SECTION
Netsd for Fairness, Integrity and Intellectual
lity...E Would Make An Ideal officer
In Every Respect.

William C. Chevis is promin-
emily mentioned for Inspector of
Police of New Orleans, to sue
coed the Chief O'Connor.
1t is said by some New Orleans
papers that he will receive the
appointment.
THE glory of Acadia is her
incorruptible manhood, was the
motto of the Ranger" a paper
established by Mr.. Cheyis in
Rayne during the memorable
lottery fight.
With the exception of a few
months as a writer for the AGA
dia Sentinel, also published at
Rayne, this was the present emil
nent journalists %initiatory ex-
perience in the newspaper bust
ness. The Range was a chunk
of versitilly-vivid flashes of wit
|intermixed with sound doctrine.
The paper attracted Statewide at
tention, and after the lottery fight
had been settled, Mr.. Chevis was
called to Baton Rouge to take
editorial charge of the official or
gan of the State. He managed
the paper with such marked abb
lily that when Major Hearsey,
the editor Of the New Orleans
Daily States, crossed over the
river and rested in the shade,
Mr.. Chevis was selected to take
his place on the tripod of that
staunch Democratic paper. 1t
was an honorable position land a
difficult one to fiji, this position
of taking up the work of one of
the greatest journalists of the
South.
But the task fell to able hands,
and the editorial standard Of the
States was maintained with dis
.tinct credit to Mr.. Chevis.
A Distinguishing feature of
MI. Chevis' makeup is his sterl-
ing integrity and strict sense of
justice. The motto Of the Ranger
may be paraphrased into:
The glory of Chevis is his in
corruptible manhood.
This, added to ability and a
keen insight into human nature,
would make of Mr.. Chevis an
admirable Inspector of Police,
one that would not bend the
hinges of the knee to those who
placed him in Office, and would
administer impartial justice to
all.
The appointment of this gem
tleman would meet with the APP
proval of the entire State, and
especially Of this section, where
he grew up to manhood.
William C. Chevis was born in
Plaquemine Brulee, in Acadia
then st. Landry parish. He
lost his parents at an early age,
but by the might of his own en-
ergies attained a collegiate edu-
cation. He taught school for
some time, and worked in 0pe-
lousas as bookkeeper for the late
Jos. Bloch. He always h a d
literary penchant, and it was nc
surprise to his friends when he
embarked in journalism.
W. C. Chevis would serve New
Orleans with distinction as In
spector of Police.

Enftomized, the above is the
purpose Of the Boys Corn Club,
now being organized throughout
the agricultural sections OF the
United States.

Young boys to vie with each other

cultural pursuits was conceived
eight years ago. and the practic-
ability of the scheme has worked
so charming1y that it is being
fostered everywhere.
A Corn Club will be organ
lied here on February 18th, at
the courthouse and Prof. Roy,
who is at the head of the work
in Louisiana, will be present.
1t will be an interesting meet
ing, for a good purpose, and
there should be united effort
made to make 1T a success.
The call for the meeting fol-
lows:

1T is worth while to get
a boy to form a good pur-

toward it's accomplishment.
If a number of boys can be
induced to strive for the
same goal, with a spirit of
friendly rivalry which slim
ulates observation, study,

the good results will be in

He ran forward to intercept her, but
she was too quick for him. The door
slammed in his face. and she was gone.
Meantime Jefferson had proceeded
upstairs. passing through long and
luxuriously carpeted corridors with
paneled frescoed walls and hung with
grand old tapestries and splendid paint
ings. until he came to his mothers
room. He knocked.
"Come I'M" called out the familiar
voice.
He entered. Mrs. Ryder was busy

"Hello, mother. How's father?" he
cried, running up and hugging her in
his boyish. impulsive way. Jefferson
had always been devoted to his potber,

permitting herself to be so completely
under the domination Of his father, she
had always found him an affectionate

To the Honorable the Common Council:
Gentlemen--On account OF the In
creased space required by the Depart
ment OF Buildings on the fourth door
OF the City Hall IL becomes necessary
for the Department To provide other
quarters for the City Accountant who
Is now occupying one OF the Building
Commission rooms. There is at present
no vacant space In the building which
Will accommodate the city Accountant.
IL has been suggested that the city
Photographer who now occupies
room on the fourth floor OF the City
Hall. but Is an attache OF the Police
Department, might be transferred to
the Police Headquarters building, and
have taken this matter up with Mr.
Croul who states there Is room there
for his accommodation. but that an en-
penditure OF about $4,000 would be
required TO put IL in order. This would
seem TO be the easiest way out OF the
dilemma and the Department recon-
mends the reference OF this communi-
cation TO your Committee on Ways and
Means for the purpose Of having the
money provided.
