which are voracious feeders on nitro

idly deplete the soil of nitrates.
Proper Fertilization
Because it is a legume, many peo-
pie believe that 1t requires no fertili-
zers and in this they are badly mis-.
taken. Nitrogen gathering nodules
do not begin to form on the roots Of
the plant until the nut is two-thirds
matured and If through lack Of prop
er nourishment, the plant Is allowed
to languish until this stage is reach
ed, the crop will be greatly curtailed
and profits lost
The plant requires sufficient
amount of nitrogen from quick acting
source to carry it to the nodule form
ing period while the presence in sufh-
cient quantities of phosphoric acid and
potash is essential during the growth
and maturity Of the plant.
An application of fertilizer con-
tanning IL per cent available phos-
phoric acid, / 1-2 to 2 per cent am
monia and per cent potash, applied
at the rate Of from 400 to 600 pounds
per acre, will make a crop Of both
nuts and hay sufficient to return the
cost of the fertilizer and leave hand
some profit while an unfertilized crop
will barely return cost Of production.
The Profit Value
The profit value Of an acre of well
cultivated and fertilized peanuts is
equal to the profit value OF an acre OF
cotton producing two-thirds Of a bale
to the acre.
The following tabulated cost and
value estimated by DR.. ]. ~ Harper,

Tt is the Money Crop that gives

The problem of supplying the South
ern farmer with a cash market for
other crops that would yield as much
or more profit than he derives from
the cotton crop, has engaged the at
tention of the farmer and his friends,
and with the assistance Of the Boil

the problem in Peanuts.
The Peanut
The Peanut crop offers wonderful
opportunities. 1t can be grown over
the entire South with profit.
1t reaches it's perfection in growth

There is a constant demand at q

First: Progressive oil mills through

Peanut and offer a spot cash mar

Second: The nut and vines are a
splendid feed for cattle, producing a
quick growth of firm and tender meat
A profit in the sales of cattle thus
fed and fattened is a certainty.
Third: The best quality Of peanuts

GOVERNOR PLEADS
in VAIN FOR WOMEN

Springfield. Ill.-Governor Lowden's
attempt to revive the women's eight
hour bill proved a failure in the Senate
when the body rejected the proposal
The state executive sent a special
measure to the legislature urging a
reduction of hours in this case and
called attention to last years declara-
tions of all political parties for shorter
hours for women.
Clearly, we are committed to legis-
lation which will substantially limit the
hours of labor for women employed in
industrial pursuits" said Governor Low
den.
But it is said that war alters the
situation. | submit that if it does alter
the situation, it makes this legislation
more imperative. England thought at
| the opening of the war that it was made
necessary, because of the war, to in
crease rather than decrease the mum
Der of hours of labor. 1t has beer
shown very conclusively by the expert
ence of England that this increase was
at the expense of both efficiency and
economy.
"The British government last year,
after an exhaustive investigation
through very able committee, reached
the conclusion that from every stand
point, that of efficiency as we'll as the
health of the women, overtime should
be abolished and an eight-hour day es-
tablshed for them. Hence the argu-
ment of even temporary necessity fails
Moreover, let us not forget the purpose
of this legislation.
"rhat purpose is to safeguard the
future of the nation.
"War must of necessity impair the
fatherhood of future generations, doub-
ly important is it then that we take
every precaution to protect the mothers
of the next generation. | believe that
need for legislation limiting the hours
of work for women is more imperative
than if we were at peace"

in this country for the great task which
he is now performing. In his reply to
Mr. Roots speech the Russian minister

The Russian people consider war in

slams have no imperialistic wishes. We
know that you have none. We shall
fight together to secure liberty, freedom
and happiness for all the world. | am

moral idea or factor between America
and Russia to divide us. We two peoples
Russia fighting tyranny, and America

The Root Commission will, we have
no doubt, be able to render valuable
service. Indeed, it has already accom-
plished great good. 1t may turn out that
Americas entrance into the war thwart-
ed the Prussan intrigue for a separate

so, it has been worth two or three mil

Set Aside for Relief by Proctor &
Gamble Company Amounts to

Day of Year.

The Board of Directors of the Proctor
4 Gamble Company has appropriated a
sDecial furd to be set aside for war ex-
penses during the period of the war. The
fund amounts to $1,000 day for every
business day.
The fund will be drawn upon to make
donations to various relief funds and for
other purposes connected with the war,
President William Cooper Proctor ex-
planned. None of the money will be used
for company purposes.
The directors have authorized the ap-
preparation for every business day from
April 6, the date war was declared on
Germany, until December 81. This to-
tails $225,OO0
Mr. Proctor explained, however, that it
was the intention to continue the special
appropriation throughout the duration
of the war.
So far as is known, the Proctor &
Gamble Company is the first industrial
concern to set aside such a fund for
war-relief purposes.

.tion.
