Peanuts Instead of Cotton
Texas Farm and Ranch.

About DsLeon, Comanche coun-
ty, Texas, there is a great deal of
interest in the peanut, and hun
dreds of acres of peanuts are plan
ted. The farmers fud the nut a
great product which will make in
years so dry that some other
plants will produce nothing at all.
There is good market for pea
nuts, and the increasing uses make
the demand grow more rapidly
than the production. Yhs nuts
are valuable feed for stock, and
the hay is almost as good as alfal-
ia. Then the peanut is coming
more into use as a food for human
beings. Peanut butter is easily
prepared and is a rich food, MAX
ing nerve, muscle and bons-it is
q protein food. The oil is grow
ing more in demand. 1t might
not be bad idea for cotton oil
men to foster the peanut, to use at
q time when the cotton seed sup
ply is short. DeLeou owes much
to w. E. Lowe, cashier of the
Farmers and Merchants National
Bank, who has interested himself
in tho growing of peanuts and has
circulated great deal of litsra-
turs on the subject. aud has done
a great deal to induce others to
plant peanuts. A friend at De-
Leon writse us that one change in
conditions there is that farmers
who grow peanuts have money in
banks. whereas they formerly bor-
rOwed money, and this friend says
that it is largely through Mr..
Loves enterprise and public spir-
it that this change has come.
