CAN USE 10000 TONS
or PEANUTS IN DURANT
Durant Cotton Oil Co. Can, Crush
This Quantity of Nuts In Season in
Addition to all tnc Cotton Seed
That May be Brought i'm.

w. +. Pendleton, manager for the
Durant Cotton Oil Co., is authority
for the statement that his company,
running eight months in the year,
can crush twenty thousand tons of
peanuts, in addition to its regular
run on cotton seed Twenty thous-
and tons Is about the amount of pea
nuts that can be grown on twenty
thousand acres OF land. AT forty
dollars per ton, the average price of
the nuts (Which is equivalent to
about Soc or soc a busheD this means
that this concern is willing and ready
to buy this coming fall 100000
worth OF peanuts. or more. IL they
can be grown in the vicinity near
enough to Durant to warrant their
being shipped here for working up
Last fall, Mr. Pendleton conceived
tn eidea of making peanut products
the idea OF making peanut products
The experiment was made at the Bos-
well plant of the company. and four
hundred tons of nuts Gall that could
be bought) were worked UP i'm a run
of about two weeks. The products
made were peanut oil, cake and meal
The experiment was decided sue
cess, and Mr.. Pendleton expects to
work up at the Durant mill this fall
all the peanuts that can be bought
This company is the first i'm the
land to attempt the making of pea
nut products with cotton oil machin-
cry, and the success of the expert
ment has brought a deluge of let
ters asking for information as to
how il is done. Letters from Texas
indicate that every oil mill in the
State is preparing to make peanut
products next fall an dthe local mill,
being the pioneer in the venture, is
receiving enquiries in every mai as
to how the success of this enterprise
was brought about. No additional
machinery is necessary, and the mill
is enabled to make a months run
on cotton seed, and a months run
on peanuts. thus rotating the runs
on cottonseed and peanuts to accom-
modate the supply of raw material.
Peanut oil is used in the making
of food products and the large buy
ers of the oil are the packers. The
cake. which is the residue after the
oil is pressed out. is excellent feed,
and this is again ground into meal,
which feed experts say is fully as
good a feed for stock as is the cot
tonseed meal, it being very rich in
protein.
AS a money crop, many hardhead-
ed business men say that peanuts are
far ahead of cotton, as they are
handled quicker and cheaper and
mature quicker than cotton. In many
parts of Texas and Oklahoma bank
ers are fully as willing to finance
the growing of peanuts as they are
of cotton, and in some localities are
more so.
Far-seeing people predict that ul-
timately peanuts in Texas and Ok
lahoma will entirely supersede cot
ton as a money crop, and steady
annual increase in peanut acreage
would make it appear that their pre-
diction is to be fulfilled.

OWEN TO WORK EOR
THE PER CAPITA PAYMENT
Expresses Himself as FavOring Pay
ment, and Says re will vigorously
Press Its Passage in the Upper
House of u. $. Congress.

If the wishes of Senator Robert L.
owen are realized, according to his
written statements, the Indian ap-
preparation bill carrying a per capita
payment of three hundred dollars a
head for the Choctaws and two hun
dred dollars for each of the Chicka-
saws, will pass the Senate and be-
come a reality.
Many persons, intact, thousands
of them, over the Choctaw and Chick
asaw Nations, as well as others in
other portions of the State, have
written both Senator owen and SEN
ator Gore letters urging tteir ut
most endeavor for the passage of the
bill. which passed the House by an
overwhelming majority. The editor
of this paper has the following letter
from Senator owen, which places
him sduarely on record:
UNITED STATES SENATE
Feb. %, 1916
Mr. E. NJ Evans,
Durant, Okla.
My dear Mr.. Evans:
have every confidence of OBJ
tanning passage in the Senate of
the provisions contained in the
Indian Appropriation Bill as
passed by the House, providing
a per capita payment of $500 to
the Choctaws and 5000 to the
Chicka saws.
/ realize the urgent necessity
of this payment, and propose to
vigorously press it, You will
probably recall that l obtained
passage in the Senate during
the last session of a provision
in the Indian Bill for the pay
ment of a per capita to the
Choctaws and Shickasaws, after
a prolonged filibuster by several
Republican Senators. The
House, however was unable to
concur in the Conference Re-
port on account of the short
time before the close Of Con-
gress by operation of law.
Yours very truly,
ROBT. L. OWEN
AT the time of writing to Senator
owen, the editor of this paper ad-
dressed letter to Senator Gore on
the same subject; but so rar no reply
has been received from Mr.. Gore. II
is learned from other sources thai
Senator Gore has been away from
Washington giving lectures fayorine
Legislation in which he is interested
which probably accounts for the de-
lay in his response.
In spite of Senator Owens assur-
ances. it seems that the people of Ok.
lahoma cannot afford to lay down
and rest their case. Many influences
will be brought to bear to defeat the
appropriation bill, and the pressure
from this section chould be made as
strong as possible.

American dye works are now
turning out coal tar colors at the
rate Of $4,000 tons annually and
report on the present dyestuff
situation just issued by the Blu
reau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce Of the Department of
Commerce, calls attention to the
Importance Of the fact that these
colors are being manufactured
wholly from American raw mater

Before the war started the
United States manufactured only
$500 tons of coal-tar colors, made
mostly from imported intermedi-
ates.
The report points out, however,
that the total imports of artificial
colors before the war were some
thing like $4,000 tons, SO that the
color-using industries even now
