confidence in revealing a source of in
formation-will be brought before the
highest court of the country as the
result of holding in contempt of

Because Mr.. Elwell refused to

that he be confined in jail until he

On the request of Roy D. Keehn,

Varieties.

The protein and oil yield per acre
is obtained from the average analy-
sis of a number of samples of each
variety. The protein percentage va
ried considerably, the highest protein
content being 34.6 per cent in the
Tennessee Red and the lowest 1856
per cent in the N. C. Running.
The yield of protein and oil should
be considered when selecting vari-
ETY. for planting since these are the
valuable properties of the peanut for
milling and grazing purposes. In our
test, however, the highest oil and
protein yield was obtained from the
