PThe whetted appetite for politics
which Texas voters displayed when
[ they rolled up more than 100000 bal
lots at the first primary July "a
! seemed to be slightly dulled today.
Reports from over the state indi-
cate rather light early vote in the
run-off primary in which the politi-
cal fate Of Governor Miriam A. Fer
Ruson and her husband, James +.
: Ferguson, appears to be at stake.
One of the reasons for the light
vote was rain and threatening wealth
electors from venturing forth.
The Moody forces backing Attorney
| General Dan Moody have sought to
! bring out a heavy vote. Moody ap-
pealed to the voters to bury "Fergu-
sonism under an avalanche" Mr.. Fer
. guson also has placed considerable
significance on the size of the vote,
stating that the result would depend
: on the number of ballots cast. Moody
wpeople said light vote would favor
Ethe Fergusons. Several estimates
placed today's vote at between so and
80 per cent of the first primary
total.
Mr.. Moody expected to cast his
vote at his home precinct in Taylor,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson were to
vote in Temple.

THAT there is danger of war be-

oated by the presence OF a section of
the French naval forces on the coast
of Morocco whiting striking distance
of Italy. Mussolini's brigands are
threatening to grab off the French
Riviera. The fascist government
openly boasts OF the increase in the
Italian population and justifies a de-
mand for colonies on the ground Of
extraordinary fecundity.
THERE is plenty OF idle land to take
care OF the surplus Italian popula-
ton, and under sane system OF so
cisty there would be no difficulty
about making the necessary arrange

VIII he the rule and the arst consider

SO we have France and Italy making
wRrliko gestures at each other with
the possibility that thousands OF
French and Italian workers will be
killed before the imperialists OF both
countries settle their differences.

THE TORY OF PEANUTS

Peanuts were introduced into
Virginia during the early days of
colonization, according to tradi-
ton, presumably by the slave
traders as food for the slaves.
Peanuts were found in ancient
mummy graves in Peru by F. G.
Squier exploring in 1877, also by
w. E. Stafford in 1887. This
would seem to indicate that the
peanut is a native of the New
World.
During the early days peanuts
were grown largely in gardens
and in small patches, and a few
were roasted and sold on the
street in the towns of Virginia
and later in New York and other
eastern cities. Necessity for some
crop that would yield a cash re
caused the farmers of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina to plant
peanuts as a regular farm crop
Immediately following the Civil
War.
The peanut industry of the
United States is well distributed
ever most of the Southern States
but is carried on intensively in.
cas- tern Virginia, North Carolina,
and southern Georgia. The crop.
now occupies about 1000, 600
acres each year, the annual pro-.
iuction amounting to approx
nately 750,O0O.00O pounds.
