PEANUTS IN PLACE OF COTTON.
Cotton Seed CrusferS Will Take All
G0Obers Grown in Their Territory,
(The State. }

One crop which may be substituted
for cotton with the advent of the boil
weevil is the peanut, which can be
successfully grown throughout the
State. and particularly the lower
half, w. w. Long, farm demonstra-
tion agent in the State, said yester-
day. Mr.. Long further emphasized
that one cotton seed oil mill in Char
lesion has been crushing peanuts
during the last 90 days. The sup
ply was drawn from Virginia farms,
which Mr.. Long says are no better
suited for the growing of this crop
than is South Carolina soil.
Another incentive, Mr.. Long pointed
out, was that the South Carolina Cot
ton Seed Crushers' Association has
agreed to handle this year all the
peanuts and soy beans grown by the
farmers Of this State. Mr.. Long re-
Gently read a paper on the latter crop
at the annual convention of cotton
seed crushers in Atlantic Beach, Fla,
and the oil men agreed to this plan
to encourage the Introduction of
crops to meet the boil weevil ravage
A direct sequence Of the peanut
planting would be the fattening of
more hogs, which could be easily dis
posed Of through the two packing
houses recently established in Or
angeburg and Greenville.
Mr.. Long is confident South Caro-
lima will be prepared for the boil
weevil upon it's advance into South
Carolina, and that it's appearance
will not be followed by the great de-
cline in land values that has resulted
| elsewhere. From figures collected
from st. Louis it was shown that g.
0G0 beef cattle were sold on that
market from Mississippi in 1907, the
year when the boil weevil was so dis
astrous to the crops in the Central
South. Last year the number Of beef
| cattle sold on that market alone to-
tailed $4,000

PURCHASE TREATY is SIGNED.

Considerations Justify 1t.

Washington. Aug. 4.-Purchase by
the United States Of the islands of
st. Thomas, ST. Croix and st. John,
lying to the east of Porto Rico, and
comprising the Danish West Indies,
is provided in treaty signed to-day
for the United States and Denmark.
1t will be submitted at once to the
United States Senate and the Danish
Parliament, whose ratiflcations are
necessary.
No serious objection is expected in
the Senate, where action will be
sought at the present session. The
members Of the Senate foreign rela-
lions committee are understood to
be virtually unanimous in their an
proval. Senator Lodge, the ranking
Republican member, issued a state
ment tonight declaring the argu-
ments in favor Of the acquisition of
the islands ale unansweraDle. Th.
only objection Is expected to come
from Senators who believe the pur-
chase price Of $25, 1000 too great.

Senator Lodge said, "their value can
hardly be over-estimated. The fine
harbor Of st. Thomas fulils all the
required naval and military condi-
tons. AS has been pointed out by
the late Admiral Mahan. it is one OF
the great strategic points in the
West Indies.
"The population is only $4,000, of

THE SHORTAGE MAY BE BRIEF.
Paper Investigators Report Oh Posi-
bilities of the Future.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Secretary
Houston, in a letter to President
Wilson. made public to-day. tells Of
Investigations made by the forest
service into the print paper short
age and declares the experts of the
service ARE inclined to believe that
the present condition may he tenn
porary." He says that a detailed
study Of sulphite pulp manufacture
ing processes now is w.u advanced
and is being pushed as rapidly as the
available resources permit.
81 have been informed" writes
the secretary, that before the war
eastern markets, which are the
principal paper markets of the
country, were fully supplied by
American mills and imports from
several foreign countries. Prices
as result were SO low as to offer
little inducement to new mills in the
West, where our great timber re-
serves are located. 1t is probable
that conditions after the war may be
very similar to those which existed
before These factors have direct
bearing upon the suggestion regard
ing the construction and operation
Of government plants.
'''Fhe forest service has offered for
sale at various times large amounts
OF timber on the national forests in
logging chances favorable for pulp
operations. These areas are located
mainly in the Pacific Northwest and
in Alaska and offer combinations of
suitable and cheap timber with large
quantities Of easily developed water
power. Up to the present time it
has not been possible to make such
sales. The chief dificulty has been
that the Western market has been
fully supplied and in fact mill capac-
ity has been in excess Of market de-
mands.
western mills, with the advant-
age of cheap power and cheap tim
Der, seemed to be unable to enter
Eastern and Middle Western mar
kets, and the only opportunity for
successful enterprise seems to be the
more or less uncertain possibility Of
being able to develop foreign and
chiefly oriental markets. These
areas undoubtedly will be placed un-
der contract as soon as economic
conditions permit their development.
They are offered under terms de-
signed to encourage the development
Of the pulp and paper industry"
