From Alabama
Peanuts growers will be interested
in the news that cold-pressed peanut
oil is becoming a formidable COM
petitor of olive oil, being as readily
digestible and highly nutritive as the
best olive oils imported from Eu-
rope. The fine flavor. retained by
the cold-pressed process, and excel

make it a most desirable household
requisite. Under the new process
the oil has a very agreeable nut fla
vor and is pronounced by consumers
to be more palatable than olive oil or
any toher oils subjected to a refining
process which leaves them tasteless.

the peanut oil does not require re-
fining and retains its agreeable fla
vor.
Peanut oil makes delicious French
and Mayonnaise salad dressings and
is a high class cooking oil, especially
when used for deep frying. Many
discriminating housekeepers who dur
ing the war turned to peanut oil for
table use because they could not OBJ
tain the usual supply of olive oil,
found it to be so satisfactory that
they now prefer it to the other.

hot-pressed, in the United States in
