Money in Peanuts

Mr.. l.. M. Boyle, Tupelo, Miss.
Dear Mr.. Bogle:-
Per your request, made over the tele-
phone, / take pleasure in sending you
the figures showing the comparison be-
tween Marlboro County, South Carolina.
and Lowdnes County, Mississippi, which
you will please find enclosed. Mr..
Frank Rogers of Florence, S. C, is the
gentleman who went so extensively into
the cultivation of peanuts. He told me
that in 1915 he had 400 acres in peanuts
on land that had been producing a bale
of cotton per acre per year. He said
that he made over 100 bushels of pea
nuts per acre, and got $1.00 a bushel
for the nuts. He also made a ton and
q half of peanut hay per acre, which he
sold for S18. 90 per on. He said that
he made far more money with peanuts
than he had ever made with cotton.
Last year (l916) they had a severe rain
storm in July which cut his yield down
considerably. They had almost as much
wet weather in that section of
South Carolina as you people had
around Tupelo. In spite of these un-
favorable weather conditions, he made
something like IS bushels of peanuts
per acre. | did not learn what he sold
the peanuts for last year, but | under
stood from a farmer of that section
that he got something over ST.. 20 per
bushel. Mr.. Rogers fertilizes his pea
nuts the same as he did his cotton, U.s.
ing almost as many pounds per acre,
which amounted to something like seven
or eight hundred pounds, and he told
ne that it paid to fertilize peanuts as
literally as it does cotton.
If you can induce the farmers of your
section of the state to plant peanuts,
especially those having sandy land, you
would be rendering them a great serv-
ice, and | am quite sure that they will
find it a profitable business, provided
they fertilize literally. You know the
peanut belongs to the leguminous family
and it adds quite a considerable amount
of nitrogen to the soil, which it takes
from the atmosphere; but it does not
have many odules on the roots until
later in the season. Therefore, as it is
a plant that must have nitrogen, it is
necessary to apply some nitrogen in a
fertilizer, and | would recommend the
fertilizer for peanuts analyzing II per-
cent phosphoric acid and 2 percent nit
rogen. The peanut is also a heavy
feeder on lime and it likes it in the form
of gypsum, or sulphate of lime. Acid
phosphate contains SO percent of gyp-
sum. Therefore acid phosphate will,
not only furnish p%hosphoric acid, but it
also furnishes lime that is in a form
best suited to the peanut.
With kind regards, | am
Yours very truly,
j. N. HARPER.

Many wet and DRY" Contests.

Vets and drvs are preparing Tor
what is believed will be the most
bitterly fought wet and dry cleo
tions in wears i'll Wisconsin next
month, says a Madison dispatch.
With the drys fast encroaching
on wet territory, the vets are pre-
pared TO go to the limit this time
to win. Out of II cities which
will hold local option elections,
only two are dry. All the rest are
wet. The cities which will vote OH
this question April 3rd are: Apple
ton, Ashland, Beloit, Chippewa
Falls, Eau Claire, Fort Atkinson,
GAINESVILLE, Oconto. Portage, Platte
Vile, Madison, Superior, White
water, Rhinelander, Wausaukee.
Cuba City and Park Falls. Platte
Vile and Superior are dry at pres
ent.
Statistics compiled by the state
industrial commission show that
while more than half OF the state
is dry i'll area only 28 per cent is
dry i'll population. The dry S
stronghold is in the small towns
where they are slightly ahead of
the vets. There are 488 towns in
Wisconsin which have local option
against 423 which are wet. The
number of cities which are wet are
90 against % for the drys. In the
matter of villages the vets also
lead with total of 129 against IS.
Total fees collected in 1915 from
saloons was $1,76O, 500.

extensive Improvements would be made
by the Rock Island in this section. We
all know that an extension west from

"A reliable witness reports having OBJ

than 100 Serbian soldiers who had lost

During the typhus epidemic in Aus

died and We're buried by hundreds in one
grave. A false inscription, evidently
intended to hide the result of their neg

chapel raised at the place, reads: Ser

News has reached us, also that the
Serbian soldiers are employed on the
Italian and Russian fronts to carry mu-
nitions to the firing line, to dig trenches,
to pick up wounded on the field of bat
tie, to carry water to the soldiers and
even TO put up barbed wire defenses
under the fire of the Italian and Rus

NEW YORK WOMEN RUSH
TO SIGN MILITARY ROLL.
All Under so Years of Age Supposed TO
Register.

New York, June 13.-The women of
New York under so years of age are
making the registration booths in the
large department stores look like bar
gain counters in the rush to enroll in
the state military census while on shop
ping trips. Stores authorized to regis
ter their customers report that they
are swamped with the rush of women
One reason for this, the census takers
say, is the disinclination of women to
register near their own homes, owing to
belief that the information they give
will become the subject of neighbornoo1
gossip. More than one woman has said
frankly that she did not wish to give
her age.

FUNDS FOR FAIR
WITHOUT DELAY

At meeting of the stockholders of
the Third Agricultural District Fair
held Friday night in the Offices of the
Chamber of Commerce, it was decided
to inaugurate a movement during the
present week for the purpose of secur
ing the necessary $4,000 with which to
complete the preparations for the big
exposition in Americas this fall The
absolute necessity Of raising this fund
was thoroughly explained by the offic-
ers of the association and the impossi-
bility of holding fair unless this
money can be secured was forcibly
impressed by the directors who have
thus far handled the affairs of the
organization.
On Monday afternoon the directors
of the fair will hold conference for
the purpose of thoroughly threshing
out various phases of the proposition
and formulating definite plans where
ty the $4,000 balance may be secured.
The officials plan to raise the fund
this week. but if it appears that the
citizens of Americas and Sumter
county are not willing to cooperate in
Iutting on the big exposition here this
foll, then the whole project will be
dropped as far as the present organ
ization is concerned.
The entire membership board OF
directors, whose term of Office expired
recently, but who have been holding
over until the annual election, were re-
elected by the stockholders, The mem
bers of the board are L. G, Council, j.
z. Poole, Frank Lanier, Frank P Har-
rold Carr S. Glover. L. A, Morgan and
Crawford Wheatley.
The directors, after their election
last night, retired for a few moments
and on returning to the meeting, an.
nounced that they had elected G. r.
Ellis as president of the association
and Frank Lanier as vice-president.
Lee Hudson was reelected treasurer.
Various phases of the situation We're
discussed, it being brought out that
the failure of many persons who sub
subscribed for stock to pay their
pledges, is the cause of the present
stringency in the financial affairs of
the organization. The untenable posi-
tion of these parties was explained and
every effort will be made to collect
these long overdue pledges.
