PEANUTS AND CORN SHOULD

A reader wants to know how
Spanish peanuts compare with corn

It is impossible to compare unlike
things and therefore, no comparison
that will be OF much value can be
made between corn and pearyfs fed
alone. The two fed together 'Ill be
worth much more than the same
quantity Of each fed separately II

ter for pigs and brood sows, but posi-.
lively neither should form the ex.
elusive feed for any kind OF hogs,
while together they form an excellent
ration.
We believe the average land suit.
able for growing peanuts Will produce
cheaper pork from this crop than
from corn, but there may be land that
will produce cheaper pork when
planted to corn. When hogs Craze
or gather the peanuts themselves and
then are fed about one.thlrd or one
fourth OF a ration OF corn TO balance
up the peanuts. which are rich In pro
tein, while corn Is rich In corbohy-
drates, cheap pork will usually be
made, and cheaper than II either feed
is used alone. The question Is not
which Is better. but the chief point is
that when combined they form an eX

duction But II compelled to choose
only one We should select peanuts on
average Southern soil.
A bushel OF Spanish peanuts weighs
about rs pounds, while bushel OF
corn weighs So pounds, but We think
II as easy to produce 30 bushels OF
peanuts as 20 bushels OF corn, and on
light soils easier. And while the hogs
will harvest either, the peanut vines
may be cut for hay when In the best
condition for hay making and then
the hogs be allowed to gather the
nuts.
The Arkansas experiment station
found In one experiment that an acre
OF peanuts was equal for pork pro

another when one.half ration Of corn
was fed with peanuts, and acre OF
peanuts proved equal to 529 bushels
OF corn.

The notice of the passerby Is at

East Side school. The grim outlines
Of the gray old building have been
softened by bright flower boxes, set
deep In the dlngy windows. The front
entrance is hanked by two flower
beds, which are maintained by fourth
and eighth grade pupils, while one
music room boasts an enclrcling bed
OF greenery. The grounds In general
are clean and orderly, being better
kept than In years past. This seems
little in civic improvement; and yet,
considering the circumstances, II Is
long step toward progress, for the
grounds are hardened beyond cult
walton by several generations OF
school boy feet, and are dihgured by
numerous crude outhouses.

SOME MYSTIC MEANING IN

A delicate Photographic plate, ex-

among the clouds a vivid picture of
the Crucifiction. The phenomenal
picture which the plate caught is now
attracting thousands of people at Nc
Keesport, where it is being exhibited.
Many view it and the combination of
exceptional pictures that surround it
as pregnant with meaning, while
others scott at the theory of mystic
symbol and declare it only forma-
ton of the clouds during the great
storm.
The resemblance of Christ was
found in the upper right hand corner
of the 3x5 kodak plate. The head of
Savior is howcd toward the left and
cloth is draped over the upper part
of the body. Other portions of the
plate show a house, line of shrub

of the sky inexplicity lighted.
