 TWO NEW CROPS THAT

assistance of Secretary Radfeld, chart cred some days ago a ship for the transportation of valuable cargo of beans to London, for food to be served the forces of the allies. These beans were disposed of at $2 bushel and the shipment with cost of transpor- tation deducted, netted a large sum of money
 THE FIRST EXPERIMENT
 And Alabama" said MT. Jones, 'is in the peanut industry. As is known, there is a mill in Brundidge used for crushing the groundpea into oil. This season we were in the experimental stage. Farmers of the southern section of the state were urged to deliver their peanuts at Brundidge, price of 75 cents bushel having been offered Large quantities were obtained and soon oil, valued at s7000, was pro- duced
 eve found a market for the oil and went about securing means of trans portation. To our consternation, we were told that because peanut oil was something of a novelty the railroads lad no rate for it's transporta tion. The improvised figure quoted was prohib itive. The railroads, of course, offered to put in q rate, but inasmuch as 90 days would have been required for
 
 merce commi ission. we determined to act more hastily. 1 went to Governor Henderson and explained the situation. I told him that unless we made a sue cess of this first venture we might not be able again to secure the CO., operation of the farmer.
 STATE BUYS OIL
 q asked the governor if I could buy, in the name of the state, this oil on time. He suggested that I proceed I did so, and the oil became the prop erty of the state. As such the rail- roads were authorized to transport 1t at a reasonable figure. As matter of fact, it was carried to it's destination at actual cost
 "As soon as the shipment was made. drew a draft in the name of the state on the firm which purchased the oil and indorsinG it, turned it over to those who had furnished the pea nuts and sold the oil to state on time.
 AS peanut oil is 8 valuable food in gredent-and as it is used in dyeing fine cloth-the industry will be high ly developed next season. As a matter of fact, it is my opinion that in the near future an acre producing peanuts will net $40 over and above all eX penses. Few other crops will produce as fine a return.
