Peace in Europe does not mean

attributed high prices to scarcity of

as to legitimacy of prices Is rife. The
European war is credited with respOn-

is an erroneous idea without the least
foundation on fact. While the feed
bill has been a factor it has actually
been detrimental TO the winter mar

erted depressing influence on prices.
This was especially true during April
when thousands of light yearling
steers were sacrificed owing to an adj

prices withstoOd this liquidation so
well and recovered promptly when

be convincing of underlying strength"

The disasters that befell the cotton
crop in D14, when the price fell below
the minimum cost of production, and
in 1916, when the ravages of the boil
weevil curtailed the yield, coupled
with the present scarcity and high
price of all kinds of feed stufs. has
stimulated as. nothing else could have
done, an interest in diversification. In
casting about for available crops that
promise reasonable profit. the pea
nut seems to be the most popular.
From every direction. therefore, there
comes an insistent demand for infor-
nation about this crop.

Che origin of this plant is somewhat
obscured, but it is known to be a
tropical plant: and it was brought to
the plantations of Virginia and the
Carolinas in the days of slave impOr-
txtiOn. Here il was grown in linn
tied way for many years, but it never
became of commercial importance I'M
til about 1870. Since that time. and
especially during the past few years,
1t has assumed gigantic proportions
in commercial way. The crop of
1916 for the United States Is conserv-
atively estimated at .SJ6000,O00 valu-

age of 100000. The acreage will be
materially increased all over the pea
nut-growing area of the United States

lively Recent Times.
Ore deposits ranging in age from the
time when the most complex living
thing on the earth was a crablike
creature down to the time when the
mammals were highly developed have
been found in the United States
Among the younger deposits is group
known to biologists as the late terti-
airy veins These veins are widely
distributed and are of particular in
terest not only because they have
given rise to famous mining camps
such as Tonopah. Goldfield and Com
stock but because owing to their
comparative youth, the surface on
which they crop out is not greatly be-
low that which existed at the time of
their origin. Thus by considering the
surface conditions and by laboratory
experiments the phenomena they pre-
sent can be interpreted more accur-
ately than those of older deposits
which are at greater depths and are
more deeply cut by erosion. Many of
the late tertiary Veins in this country
all inclosed in lava rocks or closely
associated with them, are found in
Nevada. Three districts that contain
deposits of this type have recently
