PEANUTS AT THE NORTH POLE

Frederick F. Rockwell. author of
The Key TO the Land has stated his
belief that there has been a lot of SEN
timentality and some unpardonable ex-
aggeration in a good deal of the re-
cent back -to-theland litera ture. "One
cannot fail in some instances TO feel"
he says, that what he reads is based
upon imagination and secondhand
knowledge rather than upon experience:
city room, good brand of tobacco, and
the perusal of Government bulletins
and per acre crop statistics are strong
upon II. 1t is quite feasible TO grow
peanuts at the North Pole at an excel
lent profit-on paper. My purpose in
not only TO show the advantages of life
on the SOIL but also to demonstrate
how certain problems to be encountered
may be overcome. l say this with a
certain positiveness because every in
cident in this story is based upon
actual experiences, either my own or
those of which 1 have had frst-hand
knowledge"

Holman Day stated in a recent let

make the plot of his just-published

the one that reused the chivalric hero
or The Landloper" to action; and the
