PEANUTS INSTEAD OF COTTON.
Hundreds Of Thousands of Acres
Planted in WceviI Districts.

Certain sections Of the South have
found 1t practically impossible, ow-
ing to the ravages of the boil weevil,
10 raise cotton for the past few years.
A mississippi man, writing to the
Manufacturers Record. says that his
county will have produced this year
just coming to a close possibly $500
bales of cotton, compared with 25,-
8S9 bales three years ago.
Last year." writes the correspond-
ent, II took it upon myself to inves-
gate the raising Of peanuts as a sub
stitute for cotton. My associates
and myself began a public advocacy
of the peanut, and we succeeded in
having about $500 acres Of them
planted in this section last year The
results were SO good that ] was call
ed upon to go TO many points in the
boil weevil-stricken districts to tell
them about the peanut.
"The result of these visits is that
it is yariously estimated that there
will be anywhere from 100000 to
$50, 900 acres planted in the white
Spanish peanut in this State alone
this season. And Louisiana, which
last year had something like 10000
acres under the crop, will increase
her acreage the coming season to
fully 100000 acres.
That the peanut Is a money crop
is now no longer doubt, and it will
always be a fixture on the farms IN
this State and Louisiana. 1t is found
that the hay made from the peanut
vines is more nutritious than tim
othy, and also that the hay will more
than pay all expenses incurred in
making the crop.
ut has been proven, through my
own experiments, that the oil from
the peanut IS Of a very much higher
grade than cotton oil, and hence it IS
not at all question OF finding
market for the oil, but to get a suffi-
cient supply Of the raw material from
which to make the Oil. The market
Is ready and waiting.'

SHUT OUT WESTERN CORN
And Put Il Stop to Pellagra--,5O,O 900
Gases of Disease in South.
(Atlanta COnstitution.)

"The most prevalent and one of
the most dreaded diseases in the
South to-day-pellagra- be
checked in its rapid spread over this
State within a year and be practically
an unknown thing within the course
of few years If the State Legisla-
ture would pass law prohibiting
entrance into the boundaries of the
State some Of the Western raised
cCrn.' Such was the statement Of
nr, Roy Rarris, secretary OF the
State BOard Of Health, while discuss
ing tie most Widely discussed dis.
ease Of modern times
In the South alone there are over
$4,000 people affected by this dis
ease, many Of them being incurable.
Though little is known of the dis
ease in the United States it has been
treated and its source discovered in
Europe for over hundred years."
said DR.. Harris. "In northern Italy
it is common disease"
''In my estimation, and it is the
opinion of most Of the other physi-
clans who have studied the subject,
the spread of pellagra in the South
has been caused by the corn products
sent here from the Western States.
There the corn Is simply cut in the
fall and let stand in the shocks all
winter In the spring it is gathered
and milled, the products being, to a
great extent, sent South.
"Under such conditions it could
hardly be anything but bad, even
though in a small degree, and 1T is
this that causes pellagra which after
ali IS simply ptomaine poison. Many
people who suffer from pellagra do
not know they have 1t, but complain
Of Indigestion or some other stomach
trouble. In this stage most physi-
clans do not recognize 1t, but when
it breaks ont they realize that it is
really the disease.
"Pellagra is, therefore, a poison
and not germ disease. In other
words it Is positively not contagious.
If person has ever suffered from
its ravages there is always a posi-
bility that it will return, as in many
cases it has proved rccurrent.'

Continue Shallow Cultivation.

TIE recent rains broke q CrOuth O,
several weeks duration. All crops
suffered 10 a more or less extent
Corn especially suffered. The recent
rains VIII enable most OF our farms
10 produce al lrast q fir crop Of
corn. This Is due 10 the fast tha;
all Of our bsst farmers prepared a
deep, weIlpulverized seed bed in
which moisture was stored for the
long growing season. They then
conserved this moisture a. aell as
thev could conserve II by frequent
shallow cultiyations The drouth
emphasized the value Of the dust
mulch. Tins year the farmers are
farming better than ever before. If
this were not true. our crops would
have never withstood the drouth
without serious injury.
Those who practice best methods
of farming, know that there is usu-
ally enough rain TO nable one 70
produce a fair crop Of corn even in
seasons Of severe drouth. But even
a fair crapcannot be produced unless
this rainfall is properly conserved or
utilized. The destruction OF weeds
BY cultivation Is important but the
great problem is how may the limit
ed supply Of soil moisture be best
conserved.
The long dry period has given our
farmers IN opportunity 10 get their
corn crop free Of grass and weeds.
Frequent shallow cultivation viii

time the crop viii be KIP; perfectly

have performed their whole duty.
