expense of nuts, only in cases where the hay would be of greater value than the nuts. Lime is also essential to the best development of the pea nut crop, but most of our soils which are best adapted to this crop are well supplied with lime. The need of llme, or whether or not it would be profitable to use it, can only be deter mined by actual test. Ground lime stone may be used at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre, broadcast some time previous to planting, but this form of lime is more slowly available than the ordinary air-slacked, or hy- drated lime.
 However, under the present situa- tion, theoretically well-balanced fertilizer can hardly be compounded without very great cost, and on aver age land fertilizer consisting of two parts high-grade acid phosphate to one part cotton seed meal, at the rate of 400 pounds per acre would give profitable returns on peanuts. Wood ashes are also an excellent fer tlllzer for peanuts, as they contain both potash and lime, but their scar city would prohibit their extensive use. It is considered more economi- cal to apply the fertilizer for pea nuts in the drill rather than broad cast, as this plant does not make an elaborate root system like corn.
 The methods of planting, whether by hand dropping or machine planting the width of rows and distance be- tween hills and other questions, will vary according to individual prac- tices, but the Spanish nut, which is the type most extensively grown in the South, owing to it's compact hab- it, can be grown quite closely, in fact, no greater distance is neces- sary between the rows than to admit of cultivation with labor saving tools, while the plants can be grown any where from eight to twelve inches apart. The large spreading varieties will require much more distance. The depth of covering the seed is also of importance, as a good stand, prompt ly secured, goes a long ways in the success of the crop. On loose, sandy soil, when moisture is abundant, and the seed has previously been soaked, one inch deep is about right, but under more or less dry conditions, greater depth of planting will be necessary to insure germination.
 The cultivation of the peanut should begin before the plants show above ground in case heavy rains have competed the soil so as to make it difficult for the plants to push through. This is best accomplished by running over the entire field, re- gardless of the row with light har- row, or weeder to loosen and pulver- ize the top soil. Throughout the growing of the crop, the aim should be to keep bed of loose soil near the plants in which the pods may form readily. At the final cultivation good practice is to throw the soil to- wards the plants, forming a slight ridge with small furrow in the cen ter to provide drainage in case of much rain. Covering the blossoms or throwing soil over the central part of the vine is not necessary.
 In growing peanuts for market, the harvesting and curing of the crop be- comes of first importance The pro- per time for harvesting is indicated by the matured appearance of the vines, and few vines should be

month in the shape OF bill formu-
atcd by the general staff of the army.
accompanied - complete estimates

volunteer system. Maj. Gen. Hugh
L. scott chief of staff, told the house
military committee today that work
Was in progress and would require
about month. to complete. Chair
man Dent said the committee woiild
be glad to see the bill.
IN response TO Il laughing question
as To who would Introduce il in the
house, Representative Kahn of Cali
fornia said:
And would be glad to have the
g honor 10 introduce it,"
Scott Again GrilIcd.
General Scott was subjected to
sharp cfOsS-eNaminatiOn today on his
reiterated recommendation for "A uni
Neisal service measure, based in part
on results of the volunteer system as
shown IN the mobilization OF the ma
tional guard for border service. Five
OF the - members of the committee
took occasion TO assert their belief
n! the theory of universal service.
while two emphatically declared
against such system Those favor
ing were Representatives Kahn,
treene of Vermont and Tilson of
Connecticut, Republicans, and Olney
OF Massachusetts and Farley of New
York. Democrats, while those opposed
were Representatives McKellar OF
Tennessee and Quinn OF Mississippi,
Democrats.
The statement of representative
Tlson, himself a colonel i'm the ma
tional guard followed General Scott's
repeated assertion that the federaliZa-
ton of the, national guard accom-
pilshed as far as possible by the ma
tional defense act. would not meet
the country's military needs

MANY members, a majority of the
national guardsmen who came back

Tilson said, that voluntary military
service Is not an adequate system and
probably would break down in time

rational guard system in particular
IL economically unwise because of the
dual control over the forces by the
federal government and the state"

Scott presented to support his arraign-
rent of any volunteer system, Repre-
