FOR PRESIDENT.

Herbert Hoover has at last decided
where he is at" He is not demo
crat; and he hopes he will not be en-
barrassed further by democratic ap-
proaches. We hope his wishes Will
be respected. And, incidentally, we
hope those democrats who have talk
ed Hoover so much are now satisfied.
Governor Dorsey, of Georgia, has
.decided'' that he will not accept
the Office of president this year. Fun
ny how great minds run together.
We have made the same decision.
Tom Watson, on the other hand,
is a magnanimous gentleman. He
generously offers to take it. That's
Just like public spirited citizen;
willing to undertake anything, make
all necessary sacrifices, if necessary,
to further the ends of his beloved
country. Go to it, Tom.

FROM THE CRADLE TO THE
GRAVE.

Edgefeld can boast of having a
live merchant-even if he does
handle supplies for the dead ones.
In looking over the Edgefeld Chron-
icle last week, this wording in an ad-
vertisement caught our eye:
From the cradle to the grave;
something to suit them all. Carriage
for the baby; talking machine to take
the place of mama's rolling pin; soft
comfortable bed for hardworklng
papa; violins and guitars for sisters
serenade; art squares and rugs to put
her ION. the carpet" and II these
don't please We have a full line OF
guns and rifles to put yourself where
you can get pleased. P. S. We also
supply cofins.
That's what we call up-to-the-min-
ute advertising. Takes in the whole
territory. 1t is very fortunate that
the advertiser added the postscript;
they will probably come in handy.
About the only criticism Of this ad-
yertisement is that no mention is
made of pistols Of course, ii is
against the law to sell pistols; but
laws like other things, are made for
the people, and we suspect that if
the good old Edgefeldians want 3
pistol they can get it somewhere in
that burg.

ly a means of diversion for circus
crowds and small boys visiting the
ZOO, the peanut has became an i'm
portant article of world trade. Japan
is exporting this year nearly 24,G00,-
900 pounds of peanuts, and some OF
these are beng imported into the
United States in competition with the
Southern crop. 1t is the view of eX-
perts that this constitutes notice to
American peanut producers that they
should not "overlook any bets, but
should proceed to specialize, grade,
standardize and advertise.
Better Stock Feed Than Corn?
The value of peanuts as a stock
feed can hardly be exaggerated, ac-
cording to government scientists.
The Bureau of Chemistry of the De-
partment of Agriculture is on record
as saying that peanuts make better
stock feed than corn because the for
mer have a larger percentage of vi
tamines. This is the element that is
most necessary to the growth of ami
mails, and man, too, for that matter.
Peanuts have not been used to any
great extent for stock, because they
are not sufficiently known there and
because there has not been enough
of them.
This year the peanut crop in the
southeast has been marketed rapidly,
according to official information.
State officials are cooperating with
the Federal government and with de-
velopment associations in the south
in promoting system, better Methods
specialization and Standardization IN
the peanut industry. Valuable work
in connection with peanuts is being
done by agricultural schools and ex-
pertinent stations in the Southern
states. One of these stations has
been established on the costal plain
largely through the efforts of the
Georgia Landowners Association, of
the Southern Settlement and Develop
ment Organization. The South Caro-
lima Development board, Of the same
organization, has encouraged the Or
sanitation of peanut mills at strategic
points, with a view to providing
cash market for the crops of the farm
ers suffering from the boil weevil in
vasion.

PEANUT IS COMING FORWARD.
Used To Be Circus Plaything.-NoN
y Recognized as Great Crop.

Washington, March 17.-Grading
and Standardization of peanuts is one
of the newest lines of work of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, with a view of improving and
marketing the crop and opening up
wider and new avenues for its dis
posal.
Grading and standardizing is beng
: worked out on the basis Of shelling
test, it is understood. Experts If the
department have found that the meas
ure or weight of quantity of the
unshelled nuts is not satisfactory
guide for determining the proportion
of edible kernels contained in them,
owing to the dirt, shells and undevel-
oped kernels present in a lot of the
nuts.
The Bureau of Plant Industry and
the Bureau of Markets of the Agricul-
tural Department, which are engaged
on this work of establishing grades
and standards for peanuts, hope TO be
able to announce definite results be-
fore long, but the task is difficult and
complicated. The official grades and
standards when established will not
be compulsory, but are expected by
the department to be so satisfactory
that they will be generally adopted
by the producers, buyers, dealers and
users, all of whom will be benefited,
it is predicted.
Growth of Peanut Industry.
: The peanut industry is great and
growing rapidly. The cradle of the
American peanut industry is in SOUTH
eastern Virginia and eastern North
Carolina. The cultivation Of the

South, especially since the advent o.

acres in twelve Southern states were
planted in peanuts and the produc-
ton of the nuts was estimated at 49,

of Agriculture. Alabama is now the
leading state in peanut production
with 6,s40,00O bushels to her credit

in 1919, while five other states pro-
duced from 100000 to 100000
bushels each. The total farm value
of the crop was estimated at nearly
SSO,OOO,OOO.
But the end is not yet, for govern
ment scientists and other experts ia
miliar with the situation predict a big
increase in the production of peanuts,
as realization grows and spreads of
the value of this crop as soil improv-
er, as feed for hogs and hay for cat
tie, as the material from which edible
oils and fats, peanut butter and meal,
and the basis of many candies, con-
fections and other delectable dainties.
Increased consumption is bound to
follow Standardization Of peanuts and
their products, it is declared, especi-
ally as the growers and manufacture
ers of the nut take advantage of their
opportunities for exploiting their
products by proper methods of speci-
alization and advertising.
Something has already been done
along the lines, but much remains to
de done, in the opinion of DR.. l.. c.
Corbett, specialist of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, who has been cooper
ating with the Bureau of Markets in
the peanut work. Peanut OIL for cook
ing and table purposes, DR.. Corbett
points out, was almost unknown be-
fore the war. That great cataclysm,
which upset the whole world, opened
che eyes of the makers of salad oils,
oleomargarine, soap and other prod
ucts to the potentialities of the pea
nut. During the war also, owing to
scarcity of their customary materials,
the manufacturers turned to two 9TH
er southern sources of oil, cottonseed
and cocoanuts.
Rising Demand and Price.
The results of increased consump-
tion of peanuts and peanut products
is apparent in the big demand for pea
nuts and the high prices that they
bring. This winter the average price
was $40 per bushel, or about double
what it was few years ago; this in
spite of the fact that the production
has doubled or trebled within the last
several years. AS illustrating the in
creased use of peanuts, it is stated
that single Western concern, which
began to use a carload or two ten
years or less since, is now using 200
to 800 carloads annually.
The Department of Agriculture is
doing experimental and investigstory
work with peanuts relating to meth !
ods of planting, selection of seed, i'm
provement of yield, cultivation and
handling of crop. Selected strains of
some of the varieties are being made
by the department with a view to
producing those more particularly
adaptable for definite purposes, such
as the making of high grade table
and cooking oils, or an oil that may
be used in the manufacture of oleo-
margarine and soap. Other purposes
for which selections are being made
are those adapted for human, food in
the form of meal, butter, etc., and
high yielding strains for stock and
dairy feeds.
There are only about six distinct
varieties of the peanut grown in the
United States, the department here
has determined. The Spanish white
is the variety ordinarily met with in
candy and cakes and at the corner
peanut stands, larger varieties being
used chiefly for manufacturing and
other purposes, it is stated. Former

Tortu-ing the Innocent

4 Chicago boy wanted to kill him
self because mathematics was too
much for him. We sympathize with
the youngsters feeling in the matter
but we advise him to cheer up, cut
''math" out of his list and go ahead
otherwise to be z winner. Nature
always compensates the mathematic-
less one with the gift of something
VIII CHI she denies the mathematician.
When a parent or teacher finds
out that a boy or girl cannot master
mathematics, the thing to do is to
chuck the algebra, the geometry and
the other pestilential books out of the
window and to let the pupil go his
bert some other way. They talk about
mathematics developing the reasoning
power, and so they go ahead putting
the youngster through the torments.
Poets and mathematicians are born,
not made. If boy can cipher, it is
enough. Your dull wit is apt to be a
good mathematician.
We have heard men say that their
Nightmares of middle age were poig-
nant, dreaming efforts to prove that
set of Greek letter equations repre-
scented the line of intersection of two
lines in space, or some kindred and
horrid problem fit only for digs and
billiards. The teachers of the land
have mathematical bugs which prey
on the helpless brains of some of their
pupils as the weevil preys on the cot
ton boil. The youngsters in their joy
days should not be given over to the
sharks of geometry, calculus and
other fgurative furies.- Chicago
