Amusement taxes agreed upon pro-
vide that all persons entering places
of amusement free, except employees
and officials on duty and children I'M

GARFIELD FIXES COAL PRICES
Fuel Administrator Announces Final
Decision, Which Will Be Bind
ing on All Dealers.

Washington Fuel Administrator
Garfield announced regulations, effec-
tive at once, for the Limitation of the
retail prices of bituminous and an
thracite coal throughout the country.
The fuel administration has fixed,
in the conclusions arrived at, not the
specific price which the retail dealer
will be allowed to charge the con-
sumner, but the gross margin which
the retail dealer will be allowed to add
to the average wholesale cost of his
coal in making retail prices.
The retail dealer will be allowed to
sell coal TO the consumer at q price
representing an advance of not more
than 80 per cent over the retail gross
margin of 1915. In no case, however.
is the gross margin from now on to
exceed the gross margin of July, 1917
If. for example, retail coal dealer
bought particular kind of coal in
1918 at an average OF. 81 ton and
sold 1t to the consumer at s. ton,
his gross margin was ST. DIR. Garfield
now allows him to add 80 per cent to
this amount, making his gross margin
for 1917 80, provided that is not in
excess of his gross margin in July

soil that is %eet are desirable. LIME
should be used when needed to correct
the acidity of soils In which peanuts
are to be grown.
Peanuts should be grown In rotation
with other crops, rather than as spe.
cialty. The cropping system, the time
for blowing and the preparation Of the
soil will depend somewhat upon the 70
tatiOn, but peanuts do best when they
follow some well cultivated crop
which has been kept free from weeds
When barnyard manure is available it
should be applied to some other crop
in the rotation system and fertilizers
used with the peanuts. This is be-
cause the use Of manure has a tenden-
cy to bring on weeds and to interfere
with the best growth Of the crop. A
fertilizer adapted to the production of
either Irish or sweet potatoes is gen.
orally suited for the growing of pea
nuts. The rate Of application and the
analysis will depend partly upon the
fertility of the soil and the amount of
fertilizer applied to other crops in the
rotation system. Drilling in the ferti-
lizer gives better results than scatter
ing it broadcast, as it is important that
the fertilizer be thoroughly mixed with
the soil.
AS a farm crop the peanut is valua-
BILE in that it is a legume, with the
same power of gathering nitrogen as
clover, alfalfa and other similar crops.
However, it should be borne in mind
that in order to benefit the soil the
main portion of the roots should be
| left In the soil and the tops fed to the
stock on the farm. If the vines are
carefully handled during the curing
process and then put in the barns, or
at least out of the rain, the straw will
have a feeding value about equal to
clover hay.
| For market purposes where the pea,
| nuts are to be roasted and sold.
| the large varieties, including Virginia
| Bunch and Virginia Runner, are in
great demand. The smaller varieties,
| including the Spanish, North Carolina
and Tennessee Red, are grown and
shelled before selling. The Spanish is
to be preferred when peanuts are
grown exclusively for feeding pur.
poses. The Spanish variety can also
be grown under much broader range
Of conditions than the larger varieties
and require shorter season. While
the average yield is only about thirty
Eve bushels per acre, with the proper
methods yield Of sixty bushels pei

PEANUTS FOR PROFIT.
Rapid Increase of This Product In Last


No one knows where the peanut
originated. The family history of the
popular and ever present "goober' has
been traced to tropical America, but
there it was lost. Peanuts were intro
duced into the United States shortly
after the Mayflowcr landed, or at least
In the early colonial days, but did not
become of commercial importance I'M

civil war.
During the last ten years the pro-
duction and use of peanuts have in

ucts, including peanut butter. The
value of the peanut crop in the United
States in 1909 was $1S,000,000 and is
now considerably higher i'll value.
AS a money crop and for feeding on
the farm the peanut is especially de-
sirable where conditions are suitable.
| A growing season lasting for at least
ninety days, and preferably from 10
to 100 days, is necessary. A long sea-
light rainfall during the growing pc
riod and high temperature are neces-
sary.
The soil should be Of sandy, loamy
nature, preferably of light or gray
ish color. Dark soils have a tendency
to discolor the shells and reduce the
market value of the crop. However,
when the crop is being fed to stock

soil is best, but the crop may be grown

THE PEOPLE MUST KNOW

London newspapers yesterday told Of wounded Amer
lean soldiers being taken to the military hospitals at
Bath, England, and the hrst thought was that certain
Units Of the American contingent now in France had
been engaged in battle.. Administration ofncials at WASH
tington- say that they have no information Of such an
engagement, and 1t is suggested as probable that the
soldiers whose arrival at Bath was reported, were Amer
leans who had been serving with British or French
armies. This seems reasonable. There are several
thousand of these Americans at the front, many having
enlisted in the forces of allied nations. 1t is to be noted,
also, that on the day when these arrivals were reported,
uewel by General sibert and officials Of British and
French armies. 81
The Washington officials also declare that whenever
Americans are engaged in battle. that fact, together with
the results Of the engagement will be given to the Anneri-
can public Immediately. unless there is some important
military reason for Withholding It for a time. This is the
only correct policy, and it should be followed without
deviation The American people want to know what is
happening to the men whom they are sending across the
water. If they fight that fact must be made known. II
any of them are killed or wounded, tho names Of the kill
ed and injured must be given the most complete publicity.
1t is gratifying to learn, right at the outset, that this
policy is to be followed. The public wants the informa-
ton, and is entitled to 1t.

RAIN AND CROPS

The raising of crops depends less on the quantity
OF rain that falls during the year than on the quantity
that falls at particular times during the year. In the
greater part Of the Red River Valley the rainfall this
summer thus far has been just about half the normal
Exact figures are not to be obtained, because more than
in most years the rainfall this year has been local.
Showers Of only a few miles in width have passed here
and there, and there is a wide variation in the precipita-
ton at particular places. Yet the Red River Valley has.
generally. a very good crop this year. In addition to a
number Of other conditions being favorable, the rain
that has fallen has come at just about the right time
for the crops.
The average precipitation in the valley is about 20
inches. So far as the crops are concerned we could dis
pense with a great deal of that, for it comes in the form
OF snow, melts in the spring and flows over the frozen
ground, finds its way to the river, and is gone,
