BOYS MAKE MONEY
BY RAISING PEANUTS
Two Sons of Mr.. j. T. Oxford Clear
$4,000 ON Less Than an Acre.

Two Sons of NSr. j. t. Oxford Clear
$4,000 ON Less Than an Acre.
The two young sons of Mr.. j. T.
oxford, both under sixteen years OF
age, have demonstrated that ready
money can be realized on other crops
than cotton.
Last year their father gave the
boys the privilege of planting patch
of about three quarters of an acre to
make them some spending money.
They planted this patch in ground
peas without using any kind of fertil-
izer and cultivated it with about two
or three days work. They sold most
of their crop in Birmingham at II
cents a pound f. o. b. Dawson, and
sold the remainder elsewhere, be-
sides using some themselves. When
the final returns were in the peanuts
Melted them about 500.
Mr.. Oxford says that the land used
by the boys would not produce a half
bale of cotton and that his sons clear
ed more money on their small patch
of peanuts than he did on his entire
farm.
