PEANUT OIL
A POSSIBILITY

With a coming shortage of cotton
seed from which to make oil and
with the great increase in the de-
mand for vegetable oils in this coun
try there is a possibility of building
up a peanut oil industry in the south.
By making both cottonseed oil and
peanut oil in the same factories it
would be possible to keep the mills
in operation throughout the year.
With the addition of cleaning and
Smelling machinery the mills now
making cottonseed oil could be used
for the manufacture of peanut oil.
Shelled Spanish peanuts contain
SO to So per cent of oil, and with
up-to-date presses AZ to A per cent
can be extracted. Good Spanish nuts
will yield one gallon of oil to one
bushel of nuts weighing thirty
pounds.
One ton of farmers stock Spanish
peanuts, after they have been clear.
ed and shelled, will yield $50 to 400
pounds of frst-grade or edible oil,
IT'S to 200 pounds of second-grade
oil, and 800 pounds of peanut cake,
The cake has about the same food
value.as cottonseed meal. The pres
ent indications are that a consider.
able quantity of frst-grade peanut
oil could be disposed of at Is cents
a gallon, wholesale, and large guam.
titles Of second grade oil at 35 to
40 cents a gallon for soap making.
1t will be impossible, however, tc
establish the peanut oil industry in
the United States until there is g
much larger production of peanuts
At present the farmers are finding
the production of peanuts profitable
for the regular channels of trade
and for stock feeding purposes. A
little encouragement on the part OF
the managers of oil mills is neces.
sary in order to c u a supply of
peanuts for oil supplies.
Yields, Cost and Returns.
While the average yield of pea.
nuts is only about "a bushels an acre
with proper methods of culture q
! yield of 60 bushels of nuts and one
ton to n and one-half tons of for.
age may be expected. A yield OF
rs to 100 bushels an acre is not un.
common, and ever higher yields
have been obtained.
The cost Of growing 40 bushels Of
peanuts for market should on: be
more than $50 or $25 an acre, in
Guiding SIS for the rent of the land
A yield of 60 bushels or more pei
acre would cost no more than Al
bushels except for thrashing ane
marketing.
During tx, past five years thu
price received by the farmer fol
Spanish peanuts has ranged between
60 cents and $1.25 per bushel, de
pending upon the time they were
sold. A yield of 40 bushels at 81
cents would give a return of $24 fol
the nuts and a ton of hay worth a
least $40. Even at this low price
profit would be made after deduct
ing the cost of growing.

1t pays to trim tomato plants and
tie them to stakes. This is done by
pinching or cutting off the suckers
that start from the main stalks on
the same side as the leaf. The fruit
stems start from the stalks on the
opposite side from the leaf. This
trimming will give earlier and lar
ger tomatoes.

Never let the weeds or grass &c.
a start n your garden. 1t is mitch
easier to kill them when they first
come up than to eradicate them af-
ter they once get a foothold. If you
put this off you will become discour-
aged and a little later you will have
a Jungle instead of a garden. This
will make it very difficult to prepare
the land and fix it for a fall garden.
It is much easier to keep it clean,
and just as fast as n vegetable
natures and is gathered prepare the
land and plant something else.

Charges that he has been ''perfunc- tory'' in the discharge of his duties have been filed. by Post Ofice Inspec- tons Don J. 5Rapp and Park D. Col vim against william c. Dietrich, assist ant superintendent of mails at the To- cal post office. Dietrich today filed answer Hto the complaints. showing cause why he should not be reduced in rank or dismissed from the ser vice.
 Postal officials today refused to dis cuss, the case. Postmaster Greene said he didn't know of any charges being fled.
 From other sources,~ however, it was learned that the inspectors allowed Dietrich three days in which to an- swer eight. complaints that were lodg- ed against him. He received notice of the complaints Friday and his an sWers were in the inspectors hands today.
 The com plaints allege that Dietrich was "perfunctory'' in his inspection of carriers, that he did not require their adherence to rules in racking up mail that he urged them to t.Ioaf'' on theiA routes; and that he faIsified the. time of one carrier. Dietrich categorical ly denies the charges in his answer to the inspectors.
 Dietrich, some months ago, with Supt. John c. Gorm1ey of the East Side station. made complaints against Fred J. BreckbiII, superintendent of mails. Charges have since been made against Gorm1ey, and he was called before the inspectors recently

Fairfield, April 19-Stirred to ac- ton by the frequent burglaries that are being committed in Fairfield and by the prospect of many hold-ups on the dark country roads within the town limits miIlionaires and other wealthy residents of this place are planning ito make Fairfield one of the best polieed towns in the coun- try.
 If the plan is approved, a squad of four or five motorcycle policemen will be added to the local constabu- Iary to patrol the roads throughou out Fairfield. A signal system, by means of which a resident may summon one of the flying squadron, will be in stalled. Betterment and Social association will cussing the plans. -DeVer H. Warner and others have volunteered to sub scribe to meet the initial cost of $1,- 500 and maintain the police force by subscription.
 The policemen will travel the roads night and day on the lookout for crime. By means of lighting sig nals. which may be installed, a citi- zen may summon a policeman to his aid almost instantly.
 Fairfield has many beautiful roads, over which many persons walk during the summer months But there are few or no lights anad desperate characters turk by the roadside. Con sequently, and in view of the in creased crime of the last few months, it has been deemed necessary to take precautions.
