One War Problem.

soon as enlistment Of wage earners in
our large cities becomes general, the
problem Of housing the dependent fam
HES will present itself for solution.
In France the declaration Of a mora
forum enabled the government to re-
Heve the situation there considerably"
the Post continues. "A large part Of
the population of Paris, at the present
time, is living rent free, and an al
most equally large percentage of the
landlords has been permitted to with
hold interest payments on mortgages
covering their properties. The govern
ment itself contributes little toward
the relief Of the real estate owner and
mortgage, who have had to bear an
almost confiscatory share Of the bur-
den. Under our law, however, as point
ed out recently by a federal official,
any similar solution here would be
impossible. If large numbers Of work
ingmen are drafted. the government
will have to aid their families"

succumbs to the dry weather just at
the time when it most needs mois-
ture. Such soils in such sections fur
nish just right conditions for peanuts,
which require less rain than corn. If
the peanut could choose its own bed,
it would pick these sandy lands rs
just the right place.
Furthermore, the peanut improves
these lands, if proper methods are
maintained. Of course, if the pea
vines are removed for hay, and the
roots are wholly dug out in harvest
ing the crop, they will exhaust the
soil just as any other crop will, where
everything is taken away and nothing
is returned. It is a fortunate cir
cumstance, however, that the nuts
themselves grow just below the sur
face of the ground, while the nodule-
bearing roots go considerably deeper.
A pillow digger which will go just be-
low the nuts and cut the roots off at
that point leaves the nitrogen-bearing
part in the soil, and the same is true
of a modified potato digger also used
in harvesting the crop. Even if a
good many nuts are lost by cutting
them off too close, the nitrogen left
in the soil by saving the roots is said
to be worth from So to So an acre,
and it would take a good many pea
nuts to make up this value. If hogs
are turned in, even these peanuts are
saved and are turned into bacon, while
their manurial value goes back into
the soil.
Peanut Oil Market
Peanut oil promises to be in great
err demand than ever before because,
according to the Department of Ag-
riculture authorities, it is one of the
most important of the worlds food
oils, and doubly important under
present conditions. With European
imports cut off and a scarcity of cot
ton-seed oil there is every assurance
of a considerable demand at good
prices. American mills, however, are
not getting the best prices for their
product because they do not shell and
clean the nuts and remove the germs.
Where this is done, and the first
pressing is made without heating the
material, the extracted oil is clear
and clean and equal in quality to the
finest imported olive oil, though of a
different and more nut-like flavor.
To many persons it is more palatable
than olive oil.
The Spanish type of peanut should
be grown for oil, and the only adj
ditional equipment needed is that
used in peanut cleaning and Smelling
factories. Peanut meal, left as a by
product of oil extraction, is a very
nutricious stock feed.
A Balanced Agriculture.
The departments advice is not to
substitute peanuts for cotton and
thus maintain tae uneoonomic system
Of oae-crop Agriculture. On the con
trarv, the advice is il 1til.a the
peanut in certain sections by making
it a part of a w~ell-balanced agge cul-
ture and especially by using Il 10
areas of serious boll-weevil depre-
dation as part insurance against cot
ton losses. The farmer need not hes
itate to plant a somewhat larger acre
age than his present needs for hog
and cattle feed. If the price hap
pens to be low, he can buy more hogs
and market the peanuts in that way;
if the price happens to be high, he
can sell the surplus to advantage. To
raise peanuts year in and year out
as the sole money crop would be as
unwise as to depend upon cotton
