BONUS BILL READY
FOR THE PRESIDENT
INSURANCE BONUS PASSE S
SENATE BY BIG MAJORITY.
CASH OPTION DEFEATED.

The senate has passed the soldier
bonus bill, based on an insurance plan
similar to that which was approved by
the house recently. The vote was 81 to
II. Eight republicans and democrats
voted against the measure. This is
more than the two-thirds necessary to
pass the measure over a presidential
veto, assuming that there would be no
changes in the vote.
Cash Bonus Defeated.
Before approving the bill finally the
senate rejected an attempt by num-
Der of democrats to substitute a cash
bonus, proposed by Copeland, of New
York. This effort was rejected, ~ to
SO.
As the bill stands it carries 20
year endowment insurance bonus, pay
able to those who served over 10
days, with cash payment for those
who served less.
This will be, the second time that
congress has sent bonus bill to sthe
executive. Harding vetoed a cash boz
nus plan sent down by the previous
congress. Coolidge has declared HIM
self against the principle OF bonus,
but he has expressed no view regard
ing an insurance bonus specifically.

WASHINGTON, d. CIV w,
Tarbel, veteran oil operator and a
brother Of Ida Tarbell, historian OF

they are not far wrong; further that

FARMERS WILL PLANT
BIG PEANUT ACREAGE
AN INCREASE OF 40 PER CENT
IN GEORGIA IS INDICATED.
IN OTHER STATES.

An increase of 40 per cent in pea
nut acreage for Georgia this year is
indicated in the reported intention to
plant as announced by the United
States department of agriculture.
There will be-plenty of peanuts this
year if the acreage plans of farmers
are carried out, the department says,
pointing out that reports from thous-
ands of farmers throughout the south
indicate that growers intended to
plant 10 per cent more acreage to pea
nuts than in 1928.
The increase is chiefly in the south
ern tier of states where continued low
yields from cotton, as result OF the
inroads of the boil weevil, have caus-
ed farmers to turn to other crops.
The reported intention for Georgia
showed an increased acreage OF 40
per cent Alabama IS per cent, South
Carolina 20 per cent, Florida nine per
cent and Texas five per cent. These
states grow chiefly the small-podded
Spanish type peanut, although Ala
bama and Florida raise large quanti-
ties of the runner type.
With average yields or better such
an expansion in acreage as is indi-
Gated can be expected to be accompa-
MED by lower prices to farmers, it is
stated, although the return may be
more satisfactory than could be secur-
ed from any alternative crop.
Farmers of Virginia report that
they expect to plant 90 per cent as
much land to peanuts as last year, and
North Carolina growers report inten-
tions for a five per cent increase, len
nessee, which also grows large-podded
peanuts, but which planted only A.
900 acres last year, may greatly in
crease its peanut acreage in 1924, the
report says.

with the rates of such states as Illinois,
Indiana. Ohio, Maine, New Hamp-

Among the states having lower rates,
it was stated, are Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,
