COLEMAN PEANUT OIL MILL
HAS SUSPENDED OPERATIONS
Farmers Refused to Deliver at Price
Contracted Last Spring.

The Coleman oil mill, built this
year to crush peanuts exclusively, is
reported to have shut down a few
days ago on account of difficulty en-
countered by the manager in securing
raw material at price that would
enable him to manufacture peanut oil
and proftably dispose of it at the pre-
vailing figure. 1t is said that the
Coleman mill management contracted
with farmers last spring to buy pea
nuts at price much less than that
being paid this fall. When delivery
time came many of the contracting
growers, noting that the open market
price was nearly twice the contract
figures, evinced disposition to
hedge, and the shutting down of the
mill indicates that there was consid-
cradle hedging" done.

BOIL WEEVIL end
Seen BY EXPERTS
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
BELIEVES WAY is FOUND
TO DESTROY PEST.

After twelve years of patient SCI
entifc investigation the United States
department of agriculture believes it
has discovered method of destroy
ing the boil weevil, the parasite
which, according to the department.
has caused this seasons cotton crop
practically to be a failure, says a
Washington dispatch.
The department is keeping the new
method secret pending final absolute
proof of its efficacy. For two years
past tests have shown phenomenal
success, according to department off
Gals. One additional year of exper-
imentation is desired before the
method is to be given to the public,
with the assurance that it will de-
stroy the curse of the Southern
planters.
The discovery, if it comes up to
expectation, will be in the nick of
time, for department cotton experts
admit that nothing short of a hard
winter will prevent the boil weevil
pest from becoming more destructive
of cotton next season than this.
The enormous destruction of cot
ton this year due to the boil weevil
directly is in part chargeable to the
wild hurricane which swept the gulf
coast and the Southern states in the
summer of 1915. The hurricane, de-
partment scientists believe sowed mil
lions of weevils like grain over thou
sands of acres of territory which
heretofore had been free Of the de-
structive insect.
