peace terms for the Irish irregulars,
Nit was learned today.
The general opinion Is that a.
peace treaty between the Free
Staters and irregulars Is improbable
at this time.
The peace terms OF the Free State
government, as outlined by General
Mulcahy, were understood to be as
follows:
l. Rebels to lay down their arms
and pledge themselves to respect
the constitution.
:. There shall be no revision Of
the AngiO.Irish treaty.
General Mulcahy. in addressing
the Dali Eireann, said:
The Irish army must be the army
Of the people. The government must
control all armaments, so that there
can be no illegal concentration Of

There is little news from the

A second vote of confidence has

POINTS ABOUT PEANUTS
A Good Stand Needed For a Good
Yield.

Clemson College.-A great many
farmers are planting peanuts this
year either for feed or as substi-
tute cash crop. 1t is very important
in making a good crop of peanuts to
have a good stand. The rows should
be 3 feet apart for the Spanish vari-
ETY. and the plants should be 3 inches
apart in the row. They will make
larger yield if thicker than that rath-
er than thinner. A good many farm
ers plant their peanuts 6, 8, or 10
inches apart and, of course, get a
very low yield as result. 1t is i'm
portant to haye a good stand to get
a good yield.
1t is important also not to plant
nuts which have been shelled for a
long time. They deteriorate very
rapidly after being shelled and for
tlat reason 1t is best to plant them
in the shell or be sure that they are
freshly shelled nuts. The safest plan
IS to plant them in the shell.
The peanut is a good crop if
properly grown, but to be a success
fui crop economically, it should be
grown at low cost per acre. If
the nuts are planted thick then cult
vateG early with a harrow, it will re-
duce the cost Of production and en-

PRODUCTION AND CARE
OF CREAM FOR SHIPMENT"

Clemson College. May-In view OF
the increased interest which has re-
Gently been shown in dairying m this
state, which has come about partly
by the difficulty of growing cotton
since the influx of the boil weevil, and
partly because dairying fits so well
into diversified system of farming,
there has rapidly sprung up great
need and demand for information in
regard to proper production and care
of milk and cream for shipment to
the various creameries and butter
factories of the state. The lack OF IN
formation is not surprising, for while
the state owns about 100000 dairy
cows. heretofore most of their prod
ucts has been consumed locally and
but very little has been shipped from
the farms. Now, however, dairylng IS
beginning to change from sideline
activity to a regular industry and IS
providing at least a share of the live
lihoca of many people.
1t naturally follows therefore that
the sapply Of dairy products Will be
much larger than can be consumed
locally in the form of milk and cream
or manufactured into butter in the
home. Hence, shipment to- the varl-
Gus creameries is becoming neces-
s;ty. b.. many people find them
selves unprcpared and not properly
informed along dairy lines to cope
with this. situation. There is moth

products and thus securing a higher
price for it, the Extension Service
has published Extension Circular 50,
"Proauction and Care of Cream for
