PEANUTS FOR MESOPOTAMIA.

The Mesopotamians are going to become peanut
growers much to their own good For many years they
have used peanuts for food parching them into sweet
meats They have had to import all they used, however
year ago the enterprsing British planted peanuts
on small plot of ground--only tenth of an acrenear
the ancient city of Bagdad This planting grew and bore
fruit MesopOtaman cOnnOisseurs delighted with the
peanut produced
From now on the peanut industry is going to thrive
in that land There is ready and eager market for a
large crop home anda surplus can be exported less
fortunate places.
Another reason why peanut culture is going to be Of
value is the former absence of any oil Seeds Very few
yeldng plants have even been raised in Mesopotamia
Peanut oil will be welcome product.

honor and serious consideration This particular men,
