The Food Value Of a Ton Of Peanuts

is the value of a ton of well-cleaned
peanuts based on present prices OF pea
nut oil and meal? The majority OF pea
nuts should be higher than they were
last year because production cost is
higher. have several tons to market
but no one seems to know what they are
worth.
The value of ton of peanuts de-
ponds on several things. First or
all, the variety; second, the per-
centage of pods; third, the amount
of water they contain, and fourth
the aresence or absence of consid-
cradle quantities of dirt adhering to
the shells. There are peanuts in
Georgia which contain as high as
500 pounds of pops per ton. You can
readily understand that they have
a comparatively low milling value.
In other words, a miller could prob
with a hope of handling them so as
to avoid a loss of money. The big
varieties of peanuts such as the val
encias and the North Carolina and
Tennessee runners are also relative
ly low in oil as compared with the
rieties will not turn out more than
AZ to so gallons of available oil, as
shown by careful and definite tests
made by us, whereas the White
Spanish will Often run as nlgn Is oO
to 20 gallons of available oil. You
can readily see, therefore, that there
is a Just and wide variation in the
price of peanuts, depending on the
variety offered for sale. We would
say roughly that the Valencias are
worth about $50 to 500 per ton at
present prices for peanut oil and
meal, whereas the White Spanish are
probably worth 10 to 1920 ton.
Other matters to be taken into
consideration are the purity of the
strain of peanuts offered for sale.
Like cotton, they might be of uni
form quality and character. In other
words, If a bale of cotton contains
several grades 1t is always sold on
the basis of the lowest grade. The
same would be true of peanuts. Inc
handling of peanuts has much to do
also with their market value. Some
times they are allowed to heat, 10
sour or to mold. At other times
they are greatly injured by the
picking machine so that a consider
able percentage Of the nuts spoil on
account of the pods being broken.
All these factors have to be taken
into consideration and think you
will agree with me that 1t is to the
interest of the farmer who grows
peanuts for grazing hogs or for the
production of oil to cultivate the
White Spanish variety.
The percentage of pops In peanuts
can be reduced considerably by the
judicious use of lime on land de-
voted to their cultivation. care In

harvesting and curing them is essen
tiaI. They can be cleaned and freed
of dirt without much effort and
this enhances their market value.
The present returns obtalnable for
q ton of average peanuts in Georgia
probably makes them worth S11O to
Sl2O. You understand, of course,
that there is a good deal of conges-
ton in the movement of all food
stuffs. due to the shortage of rail-
way cars and 10 the fact hat our
terminal facilities at ports of eX-
port are over-crowded, and % the
relative scarcity of bottoms for car
rying food products across the wa
ter. All these things have tended
to slow up the free movement of the
peanut crop. Our thought is that
peanut oil is worth maybe a little
more than cottonseed oil, as it prob
ably costs little less to handle and
refine 1T on the part of the manufac-
turers. Peanut meal should ordl-
narily be worth about the same as
cottonseed meal, as it contains be-
tween 6.6 per cent and z per cent of
ammonia.

amount of the different constituents
mentioned in your letter which would
have to be used in order to obtain a
ton of the 1922 fertilizer should
proceed as follows: First of all, it
is evident that there must be 200
pounds of available phoSphoric acid,
and 40 pounds of available nitrogen
and potash in this kind of goods.
In this case he should first proceed
to find out how much cottonseed
meal it will take to provide the nee

do this multiply the ammonium by
1924 and you will find that the meal
contains $40 per cent of nitrogen.
6.49 into 40 will give us practically
632 pounds of cottonseed meal. This
cottouseed meal contains LIS per
cent of phosphoric acid, or 9.48
pounds of available phoSphoric acid
and IS per cent of potash, or 3.16
pounds. Next subtract 9.4S from
200 pounds, the amount of available
phosphoric acid required, and divide
the remainder by 16, and we find
that 1,197 pounds of acid phosphate
containing 16 per cent of available
phosphoric acid win provide the
available phosphoric acid needed in
addition to that contained in the cot
tonseed meal. We ther have one
factor left to determine, which is the
~ per cent of kainit required. First
subtract 16 from 40 and we find that
500 pounds of kainit will answer the
purpose. Adding up our totals,
therefore, we find them to aggre-
gate 2,129 pounds or more than one
ton. 1t would be necessary, how
ever, to use the amounts of the ma
terials indicated in order to obtain a

work of an architect Is not group or walls. if is a unified structure with uniform design.
 The manner in which he attempts to ornament house betrays the amateur quicker than anything else. NO orna- ment should be put on which does not have a meaning. Ornaments are mostly sensibly employed when their effect is to strengthen the proportion, unity or stability, impressions which every well-designed structure must have. For instance, big pillars, though mechanically unnecessary, as- sure the onlooker that the weight above is supported.
 Cornices and copings of uniform pattern may be used to make all parts of the building appear as parts of the whole. Wall bands frequently divide unproportionate walls into proportion ate sections. Experts occasionally carry out imitation schemes. repre- sentations, for instance, of flowing wa ter plants, trees and men. But such embellishments would look ridiculous on any simple building which our lay man friends might design. In any case, not more than one kind would be used. Never add an ornament be- cause .sthat place looks bare."
 Utility is less a matter of art. But the architects experience enables him to provide for the maximum of conve- nience with a minimum of expense. He knows how much sunlight can get through window of given size in a given position. He knows how to place the heating and plumbing ap- paratuses where they are least apt to give trouble and will serve best.
 The architects familiarity with the cost and nature of materials, enable him to tell his client how elaborate a structure can be built with given amount of money, and how best that amount can be expended.

IMPROVING THE BAD SPOTS
Certain Small Ruts That Are Usually Wet and Soft Determine Load
 Farmer Can Carry.

The worst holes in the road always determine the load the farmer can market. No stretch of roadway is uni formly good, because every road has certain small spots that are usually soft and wet. These spots cause more trouble than the rest of the road com bined. How these spots are to be i'm. proved depends on the character of the soil, and the nature of the coun- try. Many such spots owe their char. acter to soft subsoil, due to springs Before these roads can be permanent- ly improved they must be under drained. If a tile is laid in these places there will usually be no trouble in the future. The surface of the road should then be filled with dirt and crowned, so any surface water may run off If this is done there will be no trouble from subsurface water.
 Many roadways that are closed in with shade trees are bad. If goodly portion of the scrub timber along these roads be removed, the ground will dry out and no trouble result. If the char acter of the soil is soft and pliable, so that it will not pack and remain firm, new material should be applied to the surface. The best and cheapest mate rial for improving roads is gravel. Where gravel beds are accessible days work with a team and wagon will improve any roadbed permanent ly. If the soil is very sandy an 8-inch application of clay to the surface will effect wonders. The road patrol should spend considerable portion of It's time in remedying the bad spots in the road.

Indians and Gold.

The California Indians, familiar with the yellow wealth of the alluvial gravels long before the first white man appeared on the scene, had a tra. dition to the effect that somewhere in the Sierra Nevada range was a noun tain of gold-an entire peak of the solid metal, thinly covered with lay CT of earth, moss and herbage.
 Search for the Mother Lode began as early as 1850. Enterprising miners who had no belief in the story of the golden mountain nevertheless realized that the yellow output of the stream gravels must come from somewhere. and in looking for it's source they ex- plored the Sierra in all directions. phe result was the discovery of many valu- able quartz mines and, in particular. of series of rich veins of gold-bear- ing quartz extending through Eldorado.

We must give the Pacific coast credit for much of the yirility of modern home architecture in America. Ideas originally carried out in light summer cottage construction out West have been adapted by architects who have specialized along this line to the sev- eral needs of our Northern and Eastern climates; and a modified type of bungalow has resulted, that is 100 per cent o.

 It Is really remarkable, what a diff ference there is between amateur planned houses and those designed by experienced architects. I do not deny that a good many very artistic homes have been planned by the owner, or more likely by his wife. but these are rare. The great majority show pa- thetic lack of knowledge of the funda- mentals of building construction and of the principles of art.

WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on Country Highway as Roller on Field
 Also Pull Easier.

Wide tires build up roads and save horse labor. They have the same ef- feet upon country road as roller on a plowed field. On the other hand, the narrow tire cuts up a road like disk. It has been found by actual test in this matter that the wide-tired wagon pulls easier in nearly all cases than the narrow-tired wagon. In deep mud on a country road the wide-tired wag- on pulls 6.2 per cent easier. On the country road with a thin surface of mud or deep dust, however, the nar- row tires pull 4.9 per cent easier. In cornfield the wide tires pull 30.5 per cent easier, ia dry alfalfa field TIT per cent easier, and on dry country road 10.2 per cent easier.

WAR RATIoNs FOR CHICKENS
Corn Is Probably Most Important Food for Poultry and Should Not
 Be Overlooked.

In spite of the high cost of feeds flock of good fowls will continue to re- turn a handsome profit, because of the great advance in price of eggs and poultry. There Is no cheap ration, because all grains and feeds have ad- vanced. Corn is probably the most important food for poultry and should not be left out of the ration.
 Cracked corn and oats may well constitute the bulk of the hard grain, using equal quantities by weight of each. A little barley, say 20 to 25 per cent, will add variety, but wheat Is out of the question. Low grades and screenings that do not contain too many weed seeds may also be used.

contractor who wants to work out his own home building ideas. They are worth repeating, and I will give the gist of them in few words.
 Few persons, save architects, are aware that the rectangle most agree able to the human eye is the rectangle whose sides are in proportion one to another, as three is to five. All man. kind, in designing shapes, unconscious ly choose the three to five proportion in preference to the two to five or the one to five, or five to five Did you ever see square writing tablet, or banner? Come to think about it they are all three to five. There are defi- nite rules of harmony in shapes just as well as in tones.
 But the architect does not follow rules when he composes a plan. The musician has the tune in his head ;' the architect has the design in his eye. Both are written records, the one with notes, the other with blue prints.
 Thus, the architect gives the roof  the right pitch, places the windows and doors in the right positions, makes the trimmings the right width, deter mines the kind of gables and the height of the walls, takes into account the position of the house on the lot and the appearance of neighboring buildings.
