The following facts about peanut
growing are furnished by N. II. Win
tiers, agronomist, who has had several
years experience raising cotton ana
peanuts under boll-weevil conditions,
and who writes as successful, prac-
teal producer as well as a scientific
farmer:
Fact peanuts, as cash crop, re-
move more plant food than cotton. An
average peanut crop Of 1000 pounds Of
cured nuts and 1000 pounds OF cured
hay removes from the soil 1S pounds
of phosphoric acid and q pounds Of
potash, and contains "a pounds Of nitro
gen, two-thirds or more Of which is
taken from the air IL the peanuts are
growing in a soil sweetened with lime
stone.
Fact 2-The average peanut crop
takes from the soil four times as much
phosphoric acid and six times as much
potash as the average cotton crop Of
one-third Of a bale, when all stalks
and leaves are returned to the soil.
Fact 3.-We must fertlliZe heavily
or peanuts, using enough acid phos-
,hate to provide both phosphor,c acid
and sulphur as plant foods and enough
.auriate Of potash or iainit to supply

revenue bill to put tax Of $3.50 a
,ale on cotton. 1t was feared by the
southern men that if it reacaed b
vote it would be adopted. Crisp
made a. point Of order against the
amendment, argued it and succeed
ed in coming to a vote, and thus de
feating the tax. This is confirmed
bv reference to vol. So, parts page
1854, 61st congress, first session.
Again. on Sept. II, 1918, Mr.
Moore offered an amendment to the
new revenue bill to tax cotton So a
bale. Crisp again succeeded in de
feating it ly making point OF or
der against it. See vol. Sc, 1O,5O9,
Goth congress, second session.
When these things are taken into
consideration, l am frank to say
the people Of the third district in
Georgia will be slow to letting a
man of Crisp's asset value to his
district, the state and the south, g
out of congress.

states OF South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama and louisiana on
the ways and means committee, the
most owerfuI committee in the
house, and the committee on com

is little short OF a calamity ! ana
speaking plainly, and without ths
slightest purpose to embarass the
ambitions Of amy man. ain speak

Let me tell you Of one little in
stadce in this ways and means com
mittee business. Fordney has a bill
before it to tax potash 81 30 a unit
"a the interest OF Nebraska and Cal
mia potash producers. Every
3rgia farmer knows what such a
means to him. Grip, as a

Fordney is chairman Of the com

a most deadly weapon in the house.

Will the League Fail?
saving.

To the common man who quietly reflects this
question:; his horse and his God
given sentiments of justice and morality, there can be
but 1.-The League MUST fail"
Not because leaders socialists not because its
agitators advocated revolutionary radcasm; not
because kept press" has heaped its contemplate
abuse on public respected citizens; not for
any these reasons will the League fail. But it will
fail because political doctrines practices
trary to the great principles of morality democracy and
fair play
From the beginning the League has been dem
any It's leaders have claimed that
the adoption of it's would benefit all the people,
or majority of them. The program was at first
represented be for the exclusive benefit of single
class of people-the farmers Now program is being
advocated by the leaders for the benefit of union
laborers in the cities-even to the detrment of the
farmers.
In either case proposed benefit class regard
less of how the welfare of all affected Can the
League preach such doctrines and get away with it?
Or will it fail?
Although the League has preached democracy it has
practiced autocracy BY the very constitution of the
League, the members denied participation in its
management For obvious the control of the
affairs of the League is kept hands Towney
and a narrowly limited inner circle Can political Or
ganizaton organized and conducted long exist?
Or will it fail?
But above all these, the one thing which is most
certain bring about the end of the League a poll
tical organization is its propaganda Instead of nspir
ing members with faith and ambition encouraging
them build up their communities in spirit of neigh
boriness the League speakers and writer's attempt to
poison their followers by insinuations and
half truths in such manner as to create discomfort
and breed envy jealousy and hatred These teachings
beginning to bear fruit in dissentons within
the League itself An organization which teaches hatred
instead cooperation which fosters prejudice ntsead of
friendliness which dsrups community life instead Of
building it up have but one fate.
It must fail!-Alenxandria Post-News.

The essential characteristic of soviet form of

government is based occupation, idea not al
together different from that of the caste system of
Oriental countries. The American democracy has grown
great however by basing representation in government

one man being good the next. In spite of the
demonstrated of this kind of democracy there
is determined effort being made to establish soviet
form of government here in America and lots of good
people falling for the When the Interests"
and the farmers and the laborng men, and the union
the railroad the butchers the bakers and the
cande-sck makers all get representation suchand
that is just what they demanding the Amer

Such government would be succeeded by monarchy

The farmers strike" (but most of them don't
it) and result prices of farm products are
sure to be high next fall. The farmers striking
against high wages and short hours demanded by
labor and result putting in only such acre
age as they can handle themselves with the help Of
their boys. It's plain business proposition with
the farmer-he can't how he pay the wages to
produce crops and out he just naturally
limits production to his available supply of labor
OF course no blame farm labor for demanding
higher wages and short hours because that is quite the
fashion among laboring in the cities, and the
average take city job if he isn't salts
