American Mills Are Urged
to Manufacture Peanut Oil;
Good Market for By-Froducts

It Is possible with the use of i'm
proved machinery for cleaning, she'll
Ing and pressing peanuts, to make a
high grade of oil in American mills
which is we'll suited for use in cook
ing, according to the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Before the
war cut off practically all imports of
French and Dutch peanut oils, the
United States was importing nearly
100000 gallons a year at an average
price for all grades, including soap
stock, of more than half that of
edible olive oil. Specialists of the de-
partment state that American oil mills
should prepare to make this oil at
home both to utilize the large peanut
crop and to increase their profits.
Peanut oil mills, the specialists say.
should be located where the farmers
can proftably grow the Spanish type
of peanuts, which are high in oil con-
tent and have less shell than the larger
Virginia varieties. The mills should
be equipped with peanut cleaners, and
all the nuts, after going over screens
to remove the stocks, stones and other
trash, should be thoroughly secured.
For the b~y-products obtained In the
manufacture of peanut oil there is a
growing market especially for the
press cake, which stockmen now real
ize is a very high-grade cattle feed.
There is also a demand for flour made
from hull-less peanut cake for human
food, and there is no reason why it
should not become a popular article
In human ~sustenance, the specialists
say.
With the manufacture of h~igh-grade
peanut oil for cooking and shortening,
the manufacture Of hull-less peanut
cake for human food and peanut-hull
cake for stock feed, the millers can
utilize all of the peanut crop to best
advantage.

VEGETABLE MATTER
TO INCREASE CROPS
Liberal Supply of Humus Is One
of Greatest Factors.
Many EnterprisIng Farmers Are Crow
Ing LeuumInous Crops and Turn
Ing Them under-Method
Adopted on Virginia Farm.

prepared by tho United States Depart
ment OF Agricuiture)
I'm many sections OF the Eastern
States where the soil has become worn
by continual cropping. the addition OF
n liberal supply of humus for vegc-
table matter is n OF the greatest
factors necessary TO Increase the pro-
ductlon Of crops. TO supply this need
many enterprislng farmers nre grow
Ing lcgumc crops and turning them
under. That the farmers who have
adopted this practice are being amply
repaid Is shown by the Increased yields
which they are able TO secure.
On n farm I'm Caroline County.
Va. the regular practice had been 10
grow corn on the land n year In
three and TO allow each field TO "rest"
during the other two years. The "rest-
Ing" process was TO allow weeds and
trash TO grow up and thus accumu
late sufficient fertility for another
crop OF corn. With this system or
cropping the yield Of corn ranged gen.
orally from Is to IS bushels.
The Improvement Of the soil on this
farm began first by planting n Of the
poorest fields to cowpeas. The cow
peas were cut for hay and the stubble
disked and seeded TO crimson clover.
The following spring the crimson clo-
vcr crop was turned under and the
field planted to corn. At the last work
ing of the corn, crimson clover was
again sown. The following spring the
same process was repeated by turning
under the crimson clover and planting
corn again on the same land. This
practice was continued for five years.
The third year the yield of corn was
about 40 bushels to the acre and the
fifth year the crop made a yield of so
bushels to the acre.
Up to the time of the change In the
cropping system, it had been the regu-
lar practice to apply 200 pounds of 16
per cen acid phosphate per acre to
each crop grown. Under that system,
however, crop yields could not be main
tanned. After the change In cropping
| system, the same amount of acid
phosphate was applied each year to
the corn crop. The only real change
in method was to grow first a crop of
cowpeas and after that to turn under
q catch crop of crimson clover in prep
aration for the corn each year. The
improvement in soil conditions is fur
Their evident from the fact h q after
the fifth consecutive corn crop, wheat
was sown and n yield of % bushels
per acre was harvested. While these
yields are not extremely large, it was
possible by simple methods and with
comparatively small expense to In
crease the producing capacity of some
very poor land to about three times
what it had formerly been.

himself still the military genius of old,
starvation forced his retreat.
And so 1t will be in all ages n
for all times. A well-nourished body
means victory, whether in civilian or
military pursuits, while a hungry per-
son can neither fight nor work.
This country has been asked to save
wheat, meat, fats and sugar. Why?
Wheat is the grain most easily trans
ported. 1t takes up less space and
does not spoil. Europe knows nothing
of handling cornmeal, and, even If she
did, it would do her no good, because
corn easily spoils. Wheat does not.
The sugar shortage in Europe has been
caused by lack of transportation, hence
n is up to America to get this seces-
sary food TO them in our own ships and
from our own supplies.
Fats are vital in making ammunition,
such rs nitroglycerin. and in keeping
the soldiers in warmth-producing food.
The chief reason why SO much stress
is laid upon the saving of pork rs be-
cause ii rs the easiest kept and con-
tains nourishment and fat. Pork prod
ucts, such as bacon and hams and
shoulders, may be kept for an indefi-
mite period, whereas other meats Will

Fed In Moderate Amounts.
In an investigation conducted by
specialists of the United States de-
partment OF agriculture, which includ-
ed q study Of nearly 500 stock farms
In the corn belt states, 1t vas found
that silage is an excellent feed for
breeding animals, but that from the
standpoint of economy it ordinarily
should be fed only in moderate amounts
and that 1t should not replace too much
of the cheap rOughage. One hundred
Of the farms Tor nearly One-ffth of
those under consideration were feed
ing silage, and their average winter
feed bill was SIC per head. On % OF
these farms approximately II per cent
of the ration was silage, an average of
three-fourths of q ton being fed TO the
COW. AS # per cent of the feed was
made up Of cheap roughage, the silage
displaced only fodder and the more
expensive hay and grains. The aver
age cost Of wintering the COWS on these
farms was $14. The average quantity
of silage fed on the next 80 farms was
is tons, nearly one-third of the ration
being made up of this feed. Although
the COWS on these farms received 100
feed units less feed, their winter-feed
bill was $16.53. In the next group,
81 farms, silage constituted one-half
Of the ration, the cows receiving an
average of 2.75 ton each. AS only ne
fourth OF this ration was composed Of
the cheaper %roughage, the average
feed bill for these cows was SIT al
though they received 400 feed units less
than did the COWS in the first group.

third group silage was replacing too
largely the cheaper farm ~by-products.

Blame II on Mars.

During the 1916 opposition of Mars
the northern snow cap of that planet
extended about 1S5 miles farther south
than in the previous opposition. In re-
porting this observation, Prof. w. III.
Pickering suggested that it would be
interesting to see whether a cold win
ter on Mars would be followed by a
cold winter on earth. Apparently this
was the case, as the winter of 1867
seemed to have been considerably cold
er than the average In both Europe
and MISUNDERSTANDING American.

CFrom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
In examining a tract Of land for al
falfa frequent borings should be made
with a soil auger to determine the
character of the soil and subsoil as
well as the drainage conditions. This
instrument will usually be Of greater
value in determining the adaptability
of q particular tract TO alfalfa than q
chemical analysis of the soil. A COM
mon 1X-inch anger with the shank

considered best for horses. Although
low in food value. when compared with
grains. they have n high value as con-

their extended use Is the large amount
of hand labor required in their produc-
