down the crop, see the necessity of
having a substitute for cotton seed.
Three years ago the OF lmills advo-
Gated very widely the planting of soy
beans. This department warmly in
dOrsed the idea. 1t is stated that the
planting of soy beans was greatly in
tcrferred with because Of the lack of
proper harvesting machinery. The
department deplores that fact, there
is no doubt but that the soy bean
would be better for the farmer. For
while it might not produce as much oil
and therefore would not Immediately
become as desirable as cash getter, yet
the soy bean puts back into the soil.
while the peanut constantly takes the
soil and must be followed with com
mercial fertilizer. 1t is obvious, there
fore, that it is easier to get oil mills
and fertilizer makers to interest them
selves in peanuts. The soy bean is
not only remarkable soil enricher,
but it is great forage crop.
Added Millions Bushels.
The South added million bushels
to the peanut crop in 1919. Alabama
leads as producer, but her crop is
reported to show decrease of t.
100000 bushels this year. But the
states west of the Mississippi, Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma, and Texas, show great
increase, Texas alone has nn increase
of 100000 bushels. The estimated
production by states is .s follows
Virginia, 4,795, 900 bush els; North
Carolina, 5,493, 900; South Carolina,
G29, 900; Georgia, 9,979,000; Florida,
1896 900; Tennessee, 100000; Ala
bama, 14,708,0O0; Mississippi, $4,000,
Louisiana, 81, 900; Texas, 18,478,000;
Oklahoma, 556,0O0; Arkansas, $780,
900.
The commissioner while in Texas
attending the national good roads con-
vention, gathered quite lot of infor-
nation about peanuts which he intend
ed to give to the people of the state,
in the way of talks at county fairs and
such gatherings, but he was prevented
longed illness, which practically IN
capacitated him for more than two
months.
The oil mills in South Carolina need
100000 tons of them to keep running
all the year and are willing to pay
good prices for them at all times. The
average price during the last three
years for farmers stock was over
500 per ton, and today they are worth
5000.
The commissioner observes that the
farmers of the state must organize for
self protection in marketing peanuts
just as they would have to do in mar
keting cotton, tobacco or cotton seed.
While, no doubt, there is great and
universal interest in the welfare of the
farmer, yet it is the nature Of any in
dividual or enterprise, no matter how
altruistic, to look out for his own ih-
terests when the farmer is being givqn
a little friendly turn.
Peanut meal has proved to be sat-
isfactory and profitable feed for finish
ing beef cattle. The North Caroina
experiment station at Edgecombe de-
termined this in 1917. Since peanuts
can be grown as easily in South Carb-
lima, the value Of peanut meal, the BY
product, is very evident. A North Cato
lima farmer fed "a cattle, made profit

of $71 .26 in 100 days and gathered rs
TONS OF manure. Peanut meal is recon-
mendcd as a complement to corn sill
age in finishing beef cattle.
None Out of State
Not single pound of cotton seed or
peanut meal will be shipped out of any
of our Southern states in which it is
produced when our farmers realize it's
worth for feeding animals and plants.
Yet at present only fraction of the
supply is used here. BY far the larger
portion of 1T goes to the North and
West as cotton seed meal, or across
the ocean in the form of cotton seed
meal an dcake. If those feeders can
afford to pay the high prices, which
include the extra freight, handling
and commissions, how much more can
our Southern farmers afford to use
1T! Live stock and dairy should con-
sumo here all our cotton byproducts
and make enough manure to restore
our lands to full yields. This way
leads to prosperity.
Those who are considering the pea
nut as substitute in part for cotton
may be interested to know that al.
ready the 100000 acreage given to
peanuts is nearly one tenth of that
given to cotton. The return from the
peanuts alone is $60,00O,000 and this
leaves the hay crop as surplus. Thus
it will be seen that peanut growing in
the South is no new industry. In
fact, it got its real start in the terri
tory around Suffolk, Va.
CHEAP MOTOR CARS
MADE IN ENGLAND
London, Dec. 26.-The first step to-
wards the production Of cheap motor
cars on large scale in this country
has just been taken in the forma-
ton of $30,000,0O0 amalgamation
made up of several manufacturing
companies. By means of the standard
fzation system, which has been used
SO successfully in America, the new
combine expects ultimatel yto turn out
10000 cars q year "for the multitude.
The plan is to place the British motor
manufacturing industry on a scale of
quantity production comparable with
that of the United States.
1t is stated that the reduction in
cost of cars to the public will be from
30 to DO per cent, compared with pres
ent prices.

The way of salvation for the South
Carolina farmer during the era of the
boil weevil lies in the substitution of
some other crop for cotton, says B.
Harris, state commissioner Of agricul-
ture, commerce and industries, in his
annual report Of the departments
work. Chief among the crops recon-
mended by Mr.. Harris is peanuts
which, Commissioner Harris thinks,
will satisfactorily replace cotton seed
in manufacture Of OIL The South
Carolina mills, it is estimated, will
need 100000 tons to maintain full
time operation. Live stock raising
and varied grain culture are also re-
commended as anti-wecvil measures.
South Carolina, the commissioner says
can produce any crop Of temperate
climate and has already made remark
able records in corn production.
Commissioner Harris report fol-
lows in full:
1t is estimated that South Carolina
this year produced 698,0O0 bushels of
peanuts. That is quite an increase
over former years and will still be
further increased in 1920. The cotton
seed oil mills, realizing that the crush
of next season will be greatly reduced
