the statement of the Department of
Agriculture. Its experts assert that the
crop can easily be doubled without
danger of overproduction or affecting
any crop now raised. They say that the
consumption of peanuts Is increasing
so rapidly that overproduction is
hardly possibility. Moreover. peanuts
are not perishable and they can be kept
in ordinary storage for long period
of time.
Another important factor in the in
crease OF peanut production is the fact
that the mills for crushing the nuts
are already erected. A large part OF
the machinery of the cottonseed oil
factories can handle peanuts as easily
as cottonseed in the making of OIL, and
the mills can work on the two crops at
different times of the year. All that
they need is a little extra machinery
for hauling the peanuts and fitting
them for the presses. AS it is now there
are cottonseed oil mills everywhere in
close proximity to the cotton planta-
tions. There are SO many mills that
they can grind all the seed within four
or five months after the cotton is
gathered. This necessitates the dis
missal of their hands during the re-
months, and the mills and the
have been idle during that
time. Now the mills can be put to the

will be kept busy all the year round
During my stay here have visited
one Of the largest peanut oil mills OF
the south. 1t has a capacity of some
thing like 100000 bushels per season.
and I am told that there are ten other
plants in Texas that can do quite as
much. The origin of the peanut oil in
dustry in this part of the United States
started with this mill 1t came about
through the experiments of Mr.. d. S.
Cage, broker of Houston, who was
shipping cotton and rice to the north.
Mr.. Cage was the owner of a cotton
seed oil mill. He visited it one day and
found that the farmers, who had gath
cred about, were discussing the crop
situation. One of them was cursing
Texas and saying it was no place for
white man. He said he could get no
money for his crops and it did not pay
to farm.
Hereupon Mr.. Cage broke in: What
is the matter with you? l am paying
you good prices for your cotton and
rice: am I not?'
yes, but [ amt made no cotton and

The Rambler Writes Of Old Home Of Jeremi

Turning into q rough road bor-
dered on each side by big trees.
the Rambler came to long,
q low frame house. the front Of
which was deeply shaded and nearly
screened by box trees that are CEN
fury old. This place was the homo of
jeremiah Moore a man who died 1o2
years ago, after having lived seventy
years.
The Rambler cannot hope that many
lowing these lines will recall much or
any of the life story of this remarkable
man. The name will be familiar, how
ever to those who have been interested
in the religious history of colonial and
republican Virginia, especially those
who are familiar with the history OF
tho Baptist Church in Virginia, for
jeremiah Moore was conspicuous
man in that church as we'll as man
OF note in Virginia He was born In
the Episcopal f9ith. but became Prim-
tive Baptist or old-style Baptist. He
sustained persecution from those who
professed creeds that were more nu-
merously professed in his day, and he
bore so long and SO well an honorable
part in the upbuilding Of the Baptist
Church in the country near Washington
that the history Of the Baptist Church
in Virginia cannot be written without
references to his praise. Many men and
women of his blood live in and close
by the District of Columbia and his
kindred dwell in the old homo and
from its windows look across the fields
to a beautiful and solemn spot where
he was buried.
In coming upon this interesting place
the Rambler after crossing Chain
bridge and passing Langley. Mclean.

and Tyson Crossroads. reached
Vienna. Walking along the main way
Of Vienna, which is the automobile
road leading southerly to Fairfax
Court House, he turned eastward into
a narrow road with green and shrubby
borders which is called the "Old Court
House road" This road is so-called
because 1t is the older road leading
from Vienna to the village Of Fairfax.
1t is bordered for much of it's way by
massy hedges of bush and tree, while
outside this fringe of wild green. broad
fields stretch away to distant woods
Some of the fields are fruitful with
corn and wheat and some are set OF in
orchards. Others are white with daisies,
daisy-f1eabean. wild carrot and weeds
that have no pretty flowers. They are
"slacker fields" and the Rambler passed
many of these lazy acres on his walk
Under half mile from the village Of
Vienna the Old Court House road
makes a turn to the south and two
roads less travelled than it strike off to
the left. One leads into the farm of
j. T. Ross and the other. after passing
the site of a fre-ruined house and a
nearly forgotten garden Of box and
fruit trees, crosses fields and comes to
a gray and rambling home where the
porch is covered with fragrant white
magnolia roses and great purple
flowers of clematis. This is the Broad
water house. the Virginia ancestral
home of quite a celebrated family.
From the garden of the home there Is
visible across the fields to the east the
homo of jeremiah Moore. Over this
field the Rambler went, then under the
shade Of a grove of oaks, oyer little
stream and into country road that

Petrograd. June ia resolution,
calling for an immediate offensive by
Russian troops, has been adopted by
the duma in secret session.
This information was made public
at about the same time that notice
was given that the pan-Russian con-
gress of all councils of workmen's and
soldiers delegates had ratified the &C
ton Of the provisional government In
expelling from Russia Robert Grimm,
the Swiss Socialist, reported to be
the medium through which the Ger
mans attempted to arrange a separate
peace with Russia.
The duma statement declares a sep
arate peace with Germany or pro-
longed inactivity on the battle front
to be ignoble treason toward Russia's
allies, for which future generations
never would pardon the Russia Of the
present day.
"The duma therefore considers" the
resolution adds, that the safety OF
Russia and the maintenance of the
liberties which have been obtained lie
In an immediate offensive in close CO
operation with Russia's allies"

they require. The other 40 per cent
must be made up by further denial on

The Michigan troops will probably

The reservation, which is the gift
OF r. Hanson, Crawling millionaire
lumberman, contains $4,000 acres, and
10000 acres belonging to the state are
nearby, and suitable for maneuvering.
The soil is sandy, absorbs water
rapidly, and is covered with growth
Of jackpine, oak scrub. grass and I'M
derbrush. II is hilly and little culti-
waited.
On the reservation lies the pictur-
esque Portage lake. part of which is
a thriving summer resort The lake
is four miles long by three broad, has
an ideal bathing beach for distance
of two miles near the camp, and con-
tains many fine fish.
The camp has ample railroad facil-
tiles and good automobile roads. and
thousands of visitors throng the
grounds every Sunday.
The men will receive plain, whole
some food and good water. Sports
and games, with moving picture shows
in the evenings, will supply them with
