THE THRONE OF KING COTTON

Peanut Growing Profitable In Cotton Belt

land that is In the least sour, from one,
to two tons Of pulverized limestone Der
acre should be applied broadcast after
the land Is plowed and thoroughly
mixed with the soil by harrow.
Dr. Long says: 1T is necessary to
lime the soil for peanuts, unless 1t is
definitely known that there is an
abundance In the soil. In this state
at least 1000 pounds Of burnt Nine or
1000 pounds of ground limestone
stosld be used per acre."
Balanced 'Rations.
PEANUTS require phosphate as wen
as lime, but 1t should be borne In mind
that neither Of these elements can be-
omitted under average conditions, and
In the coastal plains regions potash
should be included. One element may
help, but it's the combination that
brings big results. A "balanced m.
ton" is as necessary for plants as for
animals. =
Market Fer Peanuts.
Most farmers have q fair idea Of
the market for peanuts for roasting
and for the manufacture Of various
products. such as salted peanuts, pea
nut candy, peanut butter, ETC., but less
Is known concerning the Importance Of
this product In the manufacture OF
vegetable oils. With the coming short
age OF cotton seed from which to make
OIL, and with an increase in demand.
there seems to be a great field for the
peanut Oil industry In the South.
In addition hc r,oo n,,t ,,t,pa~
able hay crop, and when peanuts are
harvested for market hogs may be,
turned into the field to CLEAN whatever
is left after digging.
IT Is said that many growers fatten
two hogs on each acre of peanuts 20
harvested. "Few If any crops will
produce moro pounds Of pork on an
acre OF land or produce 1t at q lower
cost per acre than peanuts" says q
writer on this subject, "and In addi-
tion to the profit on pork, the crop
producing capacity Of the soil will be
materially increased"
The Outlook.
The farmer who knows how to rsisa
peanuts will make money, but the
haphazard farmer can never realize
much profit on any crop. There Ia
much to be learned as to preparation
OF soils, planting, cultivating and har-
vesting, but our state experiment, sta
tions will furnish the necessary In
formation.
The peanut crsp in some of the
states Is short this year and growers
are expecting higher prices. The crop
Is above the average In quality and it
is thought that the higher grades win
reach 12h cents to IA cents a pound
by Christmas! and peanut oil has ad.
Vanced cents pound. This means
Q good profit for the farmer, and as
there Is no danger Of flooding the mar
Ket, growers may look for large re-
turns next year.

ture on an extensive scale.
DR.. w. w. Long, Director Of .Exten.
sion, Clemson Agricultural College OF
South Carolina, says: 1.-THE value OF
the peanut, both as a money crop and
for feeding on the farm, renders 1t es.
pecially desirable as a part of the 70
tation wherever conditions suitable to
its development exist"
And such conditions are found in
Nany sections Of the southeast, and
are especially favorable in the coastal
plains regions of North and south
Carolina.
In come parts Of the South peanuts
have already supplanted cotton on
many farms heretofore devoted almost
exclusively to the growing of that sta
pie. 1t is shown by recent reports from
the boll-weevil territory Of Georgia
that the peanut is one of the most
profitable crops that can be grown in
the place Of cHtOn.
Prof. II. G. Thompson, u. S. Bureau

INSTRUMENTATION THROUGH
THE SCOUT PROGRAM
(By George w. Oakley, Jr)

To Americanize the 100000 or
more ~foreign-born individuals in the
United States is a mammoth under
taking, American!zation, however,
should be thought OF not only in rela-
ton to the fo~reign-born. Americaniza-
ton ought also be extended so as to
reach every A-merican-born man, wo-
man and child. As the National
Security League has httingly pointed
out, it is necessary to fight Bolshe-
vism and other un-American tend
encies by the creation of ~well-defined
national ideals, and to marshal our
people in the determination to achieve
them"
In the Americanization plan there
are apparently two groups to be con
sidered-the adults and the Juveniles.
In the consideration of the adults,
there is an opportunity to examine
ourselves. AS a rule, we American
born adults, being of voting age, are
not supposed to be in need of Ameri-
canization. Perish the thought. But
were we to be summoned to court and
asked the identical questions which
are fired" at ~foreign-born applicants
for naturalization, we would with few
exceptions show a splendid ignorance
of American ideals and traditions.
While we nonchalantly assume to
preach "Americanization,' it looks as
though we would have to Americanize
ourselves before we can convince the
foreigner that he should be Ameri-
caniZed.
Having completed, let us suppose,
a course of training calculated to
Americanize ourselves, we proceed to
Americanize the immigrants. There
has been and will be great success in
this undertaking, no doubt. In some
cases We will strike snags. Adult
methods have not succeeded, at least
in one case according to Mr.. Hal. L.
Fullerton, Chief Grub Scout and direct
or of agriculture for the Long Island
Railroad.
One Experience Told
Mr.. Fullerton tells of a small com-
munity in Suffolk County, the inhabit-
ants of which are largely German
born. Every available method for the
Americanization of these adults has
been used in vain. These Germans
are not susceptible to Americanization
attacks.
Cheer up! Through the clouds of
Mr.. Fullerton's encouragement, one
ray Of sunshine has appeared. Some
time ago he organized a troop of Boy
Scouts. These boys are now true Am
orleans and, wonderful to relate, there
is a perceptible change for sthe better
in characteristics and daily life of
the boys parents. The influence OF
a real American in the otherwise Ger

With the Alert Boy Scouts of Maui

The bunch that greeted the com
missioner on his arrival at Paia last
Friday night was certainly encourag-
ing. Three scout officials, % scouts
and 20 Indians. First on the program
was a snappy drill and then instruc-
ton in knots. After the knot tying
lessons a number of knot tying games
were INDUCED in 60 the great enjoy
ment of the boys. After the game the
application blanks We're handed out TO
the boys to be filed out and returned
at the mex meeting. Owing to re-
pairs on the tennis courts the meeting
was held in the railroad depot. This
is the first time the commissioner has
ever had the novel experience of hold
ing a meeting in a railroad de-
pot. This is a good start however, as
the boys all have tickets to move on.
they do not believe in stopping in one
place.
Headquarters Service Scouts
Sounds big doesn't it? Well it is,
and when this bunch begins to work
scouting on Maui is going to see some
thing hat she will be proud of. We
are not ready at this time to fully
divulge the secret of the Bunch"
This is a plan that your commissioner
has had at heart for a great many
years and he is quite sure that it is
going to blossom out into real life.
Keep guessing, that's all you can do
for the present.
