not protitabiy pay 81 per bushel
for the nuts any more, but since
a yield of Is bushels per acre is
not unusual, and since the vine is
valuable for forage, and the crop
is easy to cultivate, a price Of Is
cents would perhaps be profitable
to the farmers,
Ito hog and hominy for home
consumption there be added pea
nuts for money crop, the South
ern planter will have made a big
step in diversified farming. The
peanut is a legume, and thus adds
to the fertility of the soil, as do
clover and peas, by storing up of
nitrogen extracted from the air.

Making the Best of 1t.

The philosophlc consolation of a
wise optimism must now come to
Louisiana aid in the statewide
disappointment concerning the
outcome Of the exposition project.
Although many bright hopes
were made regarding the com.
mercial and industrial develop
ment that would result from the
great influx of people and busi-
ness Of every sort into New Or.
leans, hopes, that must now be
relinquished. yet there can be no
doubt that the attention directed
hitherward by the present agita-
ton has in it the seeds of a
healthy development if the people
OF Louisiana will take advantage
of it. Readers of daily papers
must observe that prospectors of
every sort are coming into the
State; reclamation of waste and
of marsh lands is becoming a
fact and not a preachment; and
from every town and hamlet are
reported the small beginnings of
those Industries so important to
the well-being of a community.
The larger good has been de.
MED Louisiana. The spectu]ar
results Of a world exposition are
not for us, but the fact that this
is withheld should deter mine the
people of the state to go forward
in spite Of reverses.
The development will be all the
healthier for being slow. And
the actual benefits to the present
residents of Louisiana will be all
the surer.-St. Francisyille 'Irrue
Democrat.

The Lowly Peanut.
Memphis Commercial Appeal,

Memphis Commercial Appeal.
At a recent conference of Gil
mill managers in Jackson it was
estimated that the acreage Of
Mississippi in peanuts in 1911
might reach $50, 600 acres. They
are displacing cotton in boil
weevil districts.
During 1910 several mills in the
state fomerly engaged in crush
ing cotton seed installed machin.
cry for crushing peanuts. They
paid the farmer 81 per busbel
for the nuts, delivered at the mill.
The. crushing OF peanuts for oil
bV cotton mills is something Of
an expirment, but in view of the
fact that the United States an
nually imports large quantities of
nutp pil and some peanut cake
from Germany, 1t would seem
that the, infant industry is one of
promise. The oil is used in con.
siderable quantities in the manu-
facture Of commercial olive oil.
It's nutritious as food and pos.
sessed of an excellent flavor.
The cake remaining after the oil
has been crushed from the seed

food element than even the cotton
seed meal, having . very high

The Green of His Trees.

There is a village in New Eng
land where every visitor notices
the trees. He can scarcely help
it! But if he fails to do so some
friendly citizen calls'his attention
to them. The people love those
trees; they line the highways and
their branches arch across the
road. Every person in that town
will tell you that "our old minis.
ter planted those trees" This
minister wanted to do something
for his town. and each year he
planted a tree or two at an ex-
pense of about a dollar or two.
And now? The lichens are grow
ing on the old minister's tomb.
stone-the name and date are
hardly legible. But his memory
IS as green today as years ago
he is remembered by the green
shade of his trees. Wasn't it a
pleasant thing to do?
A few years ago a graduate of
Harvard, returning to Commence
ment, noticed the baroness of the
college yard, and promptly gave
q sufficient sum Of money to set
up shrubs in empty spaces. un.
der direction ofa landscape gar
ener. 1t magnified the beauty of
the place a thousandfold.
Think of the country towns that
might be improved not only in
appearance, but in character as
well by a similar consideration!
For the looks of a street affect
the looks of the people who live
upon it, and make a difference in
their behavior. Every school.
master knows how the disorder.
ly and destructive habits of boys
are much corrected by putting a
rug on the floor and pictures on
the walls. The place looks re-
spectacle. and they respect it.
They see somebody cares, and
they follow that example. It
works that way in a town. Itaf.
fects the manners of people. The
green memory Of a planter of
trees and flowers is a living in.
fluence. One of the factors of
moral progress is local pride. It
begins with q CONSCIOUSNESS of the
beauty Of the place. It is foster
ed by every effort to improve the
town.
Sometimes a woman's club de-
sires to do some good thing, and
does not quite know what to do.
Isn't this as inexpensive and ef-
fective q benefaction as it can

with God Bless the Prince of Wales. "
They would continue this during the
whole OF the advertised time for the
game to hast
Meanwhile the players would be behind
barred doors. Nobody would hurt them,
but If one of them showed his head he
would be greeted with cries of derision.
The Scotchmen and the Irishmen would
produce their own particular bran.. OF
whisky and do their best to tank up
the poor Englishmen, and the fun would
be fast and furious.
The boobies. those splendid men In
blue who know how to handle a crowd
as well as do your American police, would
be smiling and waiting for the overflow
of fair play spirit to work off, and would
be admiring the size OF their boots and
looking at their watches to see when the
exact hour Of the rough but serious
joke would be at an end. They would
re use the whisky that the Scotch and
Irish offered them, because, like the
American police. they never forget their
duty; but dare say some or them would
have an extra glass Of beer when they
got home.
AS 5 O'Clock struck the whisky bottles
would be put away. and with snatches of
the latest music hall songs, the crowd
would In an orderly way wend Its way
home after giving three cheers for the
police and three groans for the owners
of the ground. One year later. when the
same match or sports were held. you
could hardly see policeman about any
where, only a few chastened promoters
with obsequious smiles and corps of
ushers bowling all the people to their
seats, to see a game said by all to have
been the finest they had ever seen.
l merely hope that these few words
will not encourage the American people
to adopt ether the French or English
methods.
Far better take II their own philosOph-
ical way, and let the game proceed. but
/ am quite sure there is an American
sportsman feeling In the air that has
got to clean up all this swindling OF
