beef animals. Mir. COnOver said that the prospect warranted him in the as sertion that cheap beef is not pos sible. Present feeding conditions would be materially alleyiated by one good crop season." continued Mir. Con- over, but cattle are not made in a few months and the prospect for the breeder is all that could be desired.
 During the coming summer and fall fat cattle must command good prices as the liquidation of the last three months has made serious draft on the visible supply and the most se- we're winter in the Northwest in thirty years means a short and light run of beef from that quarter. Regardless of peace or war. signs are optimistic that domestic production will not be equal to the demand"
 More than one hundred cattle feeders attended the meeting. These men came 10 the university to inspect cattle feeding experiment. which was con- ducted during the winter. Prof. II. O. Allison of the College of Agriculture presented the data concerning the experiment which closed May 1. Final results of the test and other tests will be published soon. It Is expected that the data presented will be of great value to Missouri cattle feeders who are endeavOring 10 decrease the cost of production.

SHEEP RELISH PEA SILAGE
Cabbage and Roots of All Kinds Must Be Supplemented by Concentrate
 Feed os Some Kind.

Pea-vine siiage that is free from mold Is a good feed for sheep at any time, as a part of the ration. As with any kind of silage, cabbage and roots of any kind 1t contains too much water to be fed in large amounts. All such feeds must be supplemented by some concentrate. There Is no reason why pea silage and cabbage should not be fed together, but they should not be fed to the exclusion of all other feeds

popular favorite, the Spanish peanut. The Spanish Is a quick grower, matur- ing in about 60 days and weighs 90 pounds to the bushel. IL Is of the bunch variety and forms Its prolific fruit in n thick cluster of thin shell pods, with usually two plump peas to each pod, close 10 the base of the plant, rendering it easy of both culti- walton and harvesting. It is rich in oil and is the most generally grown peanut for crushing and stock feed ing.
 Likes Sandy loam.
 The peanut thrives best in a loose, sandy loam that is well drained and contains plenty of lime. Most any soil, however. that does not crust or bake too readily after rains, will grow peanuts: although It would not be profitable to grow them for commer- cial purposes on clayey soils that will adhere to the nuts in digging, on ac- count of the difficulty of preparing them for market. The soil should be thoroughly prepared by early and deep breaking. where practicable, and frequent disking and narrowing 10 conserve moisture, keep down weed growth until planting time, and to put the soil In good tilth. Each farm CT should understand the physical na- ture and the needs of his particular soil and so handle il as 10 secure the best possible seed bed. That the same method of handling all soils will not attain this end Is obvious; but the obtaining of the best possible seed bed is the object to be sought and all methods should be adapted to this achievement.

PEANUT GAINS FAVOR
'nsistent Demand for lnforma-
 ton Regarding This Crop.
Acreage Will Be Materially Increased All Over Growing Area of United States This Year-likes
 Sandy Lcam.

By FLETCHER DAVIS. Texas Depart
 ment of Agricultural
 The disasters that befell the cotton crop in 1914. when the price fell below the minimum cost of production, and In 1916. when the ravages of the boil weevii curtailed the yield. coupled with the present scarcity and high price of all kinds of feed stuffs, has stimulated as nothing else could have done, an interest in diversification. In casting about for available crops that promise a 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.
 The peanut belongs 10 the legume family. but has the habit peculiar to itself of forming its pods or peas un- derground. It came to be called q nut because of the delightful nutty flavor of its peas and botanically 1t is known as Arachis hypogea, a term that is said to indicate its peculiar characteristic of maturing Its fruit un- derground.
 The origin of this plant Is somewhat obscured, but it is known 10 be tropical plant; and 1t was brought to the plantations of Virginia and the Carolinas in the days of slave impor- tation. Here IL was grown in lim- Ited way for many years. but it never became of commercial importance un- til about 1870. Since that time, and especially during the past few years, 1t has assumed gigantic proportions in q commercial way. The crop of 1916 for the United States Is conserv- atively estimated at s56OO0,OO0 valu- ation. and Texas alone had an acre age of 100000. The acreage will be materially increased all over the pea nut-growing area of the United States this year.
 Varieties Of Peanuts.
 There are two varieties of peanuts with reference to their growing char acteristics-the runner and the bunch varieties. The latter is the most pop ular, owing to its greater ease of cul- tivation and It's usual quicker growth. There are about five common kinds of peanuts, namely: the Virginia Jumbo, a large peanut of both bunch and a runner variety, that natures in about 120 days and weighs 2 pounds to the bushel on the average; the Tennessee Red, a good hardy grower of the stock-feeder variety, but not generally grown; the Valencia, a very similar peanut to the Tennessee, that natures in about 12o days; the African or North Carolina, a peanut rich in oil, but not popular on account of Its run Ger characteristics; and, lastly, that
