Old Confeds Passing Away.

Austin. Texas, Sept 21.-Confed-
crate pensioners are dying in Texas
at the rate of 800 each quarter or
every three months, according to rec
ords compiled by the comptroller's
department. but despite this fact the
number of pensioners does not dis
close a corresponding decrease. This
is accounted for by the fact that
in numerous instances these old sol
dier5 married women many years
their junior, and under the law the
widow Of a confederate veteran is
entitled to the pension after the death
of her husband. The number Of pen
sioners now ON the rolls is approx
mately 10000, which is the same
number as have been on the rolls for
the past several years. In the opin-
ion of the pension commissioner, the
number of pensioners will within the
next few years begin to decrease rap
idly, and that the present number is
about the maximum.

I
W. 5. Watson of Ardmore. on one
Of Walter Colbert's farms, has pur-
chased a Benthal peanut picker. The
machine is truly a picker and not a
thrasher. The vines are fed 10 the
machine in the same order that grain
in the straw is fed to a thrashing
machine, and by a system of enless
bar construction the vines are car
ried over a diamond mesh wire clCtn
through several gangs of tortiJn
springs. The result is that the pea
nuts are pulled off the vines with
out any injury to the shell. Peanuts
will not keep when the shell is in
iurcd. The machine has a stemme-
attachment which removes the stem,
and also fan which blows out ali the
dirt, trash and sappy peanuts, the en-
tire process resulting in a product
superior to the hand picked nuts. Be
sides having a large acreage of Span
ish peanuts to thrash for himself, Mr..
Watson will do custom work and
thrash for the other planters of nuts
in this vicinity this year. This will
be gratifying news to the farmers
who will market their crop, and will
lead to a much larger increase of acre
age planted to the Spanish peanut this
coming season. This Is certainly ono
year when peanuts give promise of
being too valuable to be used for hog
feed. The manner in which this crop
has wthstood the drouth is bound to
result in strong local demand for
peanuts for planting next spring
There is no need Of going through the
laborious process Of pulling the pea
nut crop. After the pods are ma
ture. and before the vines and leaves
are too ripe for hay, the plant may
ba loosened by running under the rows
the share of pillow from which the
WaIboard has been removed. The
crop may be rahed into windrows
with a hay rake if the soil is Loose, |
or two rows may be forkod together. |
The vines should be punched after
they are partly cured and, as soon as /
dry enough, put under cover or stack .

Peanuts are not only a valuable

GOLF pros" INTEND
TO ADOPT BRITISH PLAN

New York. Jan. H-The organization
committee Of the proposed professionals Is
golt association met yesterday at wsns-
makers and did little but eat a lunch
con. The reason so little was accom-
pushed was because the committeeman
are waiting for copy OF the constitution
and by-laWs Of the British association OF
similar character.
1t is probable that the new sssocia-
ton will be as nearly like the British
organization as possible. and that the
constitution which has proved 90 success
ful on the other side Of the Atlantic will
be adopted by the American professionals
with only the few changes that will be
made necessary by the differences in con-
dition in the two countries
One of the members Of the organization,
Gil Nichols, was not on hand yesterday,
as he was playing an indoor match in
Philadelphia. The others present elected
James Hepburn, National, as chairman,
and Herbert Strong. Inwood. as sore
tary. The ruulors that the United States
Golf Association did not approve the plan
to form professionally association were
spoken of by Robert White of Glen Head
who said that the activities OF the new
association would in no way conflict with
the q. S. G. A. and that every effort
would be made by the professionals TO
AVOID any diherences OF opinion with the
association which has governed the game
of golf in the United States SO long and
so well.
Since the first meeting last week, a
number Of applications for membership
have been received, one of them coming
from Bob PEBBLES in Texas. II 1. ex-
pected that the year book Of the British
association will be received in time for
the next meeting. which probably will be
held at the Hotel Martinique.

the professionals yesterday. and some of
them made speeches.
