A FEW FIGURES ON
THE PEANUT CROP

One Of our farmers here, who is
expecting to plant a large acreage
in peanats, has given us some in
teresting figures, the result Of his
personal investigation. He expects
to plant his peanutsin 30inch rows,
5 inches in the drill, and these cal
culations are made accordingly.
First, he wanted to know how
many peanuts it would take plant
an acre, the peanuts to be planted
in the hull. Weighing accurately
three separate l pound lots Of pea
nuts, he counted the number Of nuts
III each in order to determine how
many to pound. After discarding
all ones and faulty nuts there were
found an average of 525 nuts to the
pound.
Then figuring 26.460 hills to the
acre it was found that it would re-
quire SO pounds of nuts (not hull.
ED per acre.
Estimating that a perfect stand
were obtained, and each hill made
| pint, it can easily be figured that
this acre would make Alb bushels.
This is rather large estimate, but
to bring it down to a more conser-
vative estimate, say each hill made
a teacup full, or 1-4pint. Then you
would have l03 bushels. Taking
for granted that only 1-3stand were
obtained, you would still have a
profitable crop of 81 bushels Of pea
nuts per acre. AS it seems "A pint
would be small estimate for good
land, this looks like a good substi-
tute for cotton.

FEAR HELD ALL
ON PRISON SHIP
Lieut. Badewitz Says He Was Prepared
to Sink Yarrowdale - Revolvers
Kept Ready.

BERLIN, Jan 24-Naval Lieut. Babe
WITT, commander of the German prize crew
which brought the Yarrowdale to port,
was interviewed by representative OF the
Overseas News Agency, which issues the
following:
Lieut. Badewitz was asked how he sue
ceeded in bringing the 1arrowdale through
the north Atlantic and the blockade into
the North Sea with crew of only 10 men
and several hundred hostile persons on
board. He replied:
For such an action you need only to
exercise GOODNESS and determined blunt
careessness, especially if YOU have to deal
with Englishmen In addition you need
to have handful of smart boys like mine,
who have their hearts in the right place
and revolvers in their pockets Then YOU
can fetch the devil from his own house.
Questioned as to how he held his oddly
mingled members Of the prisoner crews
under discipline Lieut. Badewitz replied:
e The discipline was first rate When.
ever the order to 90 below was issued the
whole crowd of prisoners hurried to the
lower decks, running like hares.
Lieut.. BadewitZ SAID all preparations
had been made to sink the ship at mo
ments notice without leaving the bridge
All on board, he said, knew he would have
sunk the vessel in the event of mutiny OF
a wreck. The captured captains were
very sensible and did much to hold then
men in check. The prisoners thought they
could count on touching at a Norwegian
port. Among them were SIX members o
the British navy, Of whom three belonged
to an English armed merchantmen, or
board which they had served as gunners.
When the larrowdale was riding a
anchor south OF Island Haven, in tn
Sound, on account OF the fog, one Britisl
naval gunner and one civilian jumped over
board TO swim ashore, but they no soone
felt the cold water than they began to or
for help. They were rescued
