on, that peanut growing is profitable
business in Oklahoma, and our inform
alton is that it is one Of our sure-shot
crops, like kafir corn and a number
az others. II seems strange indeed
that our farmers pay 50 little attens
tion to crops Of this kind where there
is little or no chance Of failure and
where the returns are equally as
larger or larger than can be realized
from corn, cotton or wheat even un-
der the best conditions.
However, signs are not lacking that
we are beginning to learn the lesson
that we must grow crops adapted to
our own peculiar conditions Of soil
and climate and that as a result the
future farming IN Oklahoma viii be
nnch more profitable. There is little
chance for failure if we farm the "Ok-
lahoma way" and we are losing mil
lions every year because this fact is
not generally recognized.
