The industrial physician Of the future
will play an important part In the
practice of preventive medicine, de.
clared DIR. John A. Turner. Cincinnati,
ut the annual meeting Of the Ameri'

He can teach the industrial worker
the why and wherefore Of preserving
his health, the prevention OF sickness
and acci tents and the prompt treat.
ment of sickness and injuries, DR..
Turner declared.
DIR. Turner gave q detailed account
of the practice Of preventive medicine
in one Of Cincinnati's largest indus
tries. saying that records Of the plant
show there was a reduction Of over
so per cent in the time lost on &C.
count Of injuries and approximately
SO per cent reduction in absenteeism
on account Of sickness.
Fertile Field for Practice.
Industry is a fertile field for the
practice of preventive medicine" said
DR.. Turner 1.-The industrial plant
is like a laboratory where the indus
trial physician has a definite group
constant supervision for at least
eight hours q day. During this pc.
riod he is also in a position to advise
in the conditions under which men
can work.
Industrial physician's knowledge Of
the health hazards inherent in various
manufacturing processes enables him
to formulate and put into practice
the methods that will best protect
the health Of the workers.!
How to Deal With Hazards.
"He can study the i'll effects from
inadequate illumination, ventilation.
personal service facilities and safety
devices. He also knows best how to
cope with the specific industrial health
hazards, such as poisonous substances.

THERE remained but one possible
- way of escape. We had climbed
to the plateau by means of waterfall,
perhaps we could descend by way of

jumbo peanuts

"DoUBLE-JoINTED jumbo peanuts
five bag!' cries the vender at
the base ball park, the circus or at
the amusement park. Few of his Gus
toners know of the origin of the pea
nut or of the many processes the
peanuts have passed through since
leaving the ground.
/ Peanuts are supposed to have orig
mated in Brazil, but were taken In
slave ships to Africa, Spain and other
countries at very early date, and
the types of peanuts known in this
country were probably developed in
Spain and various parts of Africa.
The growth of the peanut industry
in the United States was slow until
the introduction, about as years ago,
Of labor-saving machinery for the va
rious cleaning and Smelling processes.
The increase OF the boil weevil in the
cotton-growing States was responsible
for a wave of peanut planting through
out the Southern States 10 or -
years ago. During the last three or
four years peanut production in this
country has been less than during
some of the war years. largely because
of lessened returns and the preference
of the Southern farmer for planting
COtlOIl WIFI IedSOudUlv pIOlldDle.
Peanuts require a long Summer in
which to mature properly, and so are
not planted commercially north of a
line running west from southern Vir-
ginia. Virginia-type peanuts are large
podded and seem to do best in soils
of southeastern Virginia, northeastern
North Carolina and central Tennessee.
Elsewhere in the peanut belt the
small-podded Spanish is the preferred
type, although many runners, with
pods of medium size. are planted in
Alabama and Florida.
After the peanut plants are dug or
pulled from the ground they are left
in stack or .windrow to cure for a
month. This lessons the tendency of
the kernels to shrivel Then the pods
are picked from the vines by means
of mechanical picker or thrashing
machine and taken to the cleaning
or Smelling factory. Large storage
houses at a number of the factory
points provide a means for holding
over peanuts from the time Of harvest
until they are needed later in the sea-
son. Millions of pounds Of peanuts
are also stored in the cleaning and
Smelling plants.
AS the. peanuts come from the farm
the pods are often partially covered
with dirt and accompanied by sticks
and stones. In consequence, cleaning
operations are necessary as a prelim-
mary step in making the peanuts

Famous Apple Trees.
THE original Rome Beauty appl

THE original Rome Beauty apple
tree stood on the bank Of the Ohio
River near Proctorville, Ohio. 1t was
derived from a freak graft and the
sprout was set out in the corner Of
field in 1917. When the tree began to
bear fruit it was found to produce APP
pies of such excellent quality that it
was named Rome Beauty-Rome for
it's home township and Beauty for its
attractive appearance.
This variety was brought to the at
tention of Ohio fruit growers in 1S4S.
1t is now recognized as one of the
foremost commercial apples in that
State. The parent tree has long since
been washed away by a flood. but it's
memory is perpetuated by tablet on
the Lawrence County Fair Grounds.
about a quarter Of mile from the
original site.
The original York Imperial tree has
likewise persisted, but in apple his
tory it will never die. 1t was but
chance Seeding that sprang up in the
corner Of a field near York, Pa. To
the schoolboys Of the last century
must be credited the discovery of this
now famous variety. Every Spring
they sought the tree to get the fruit
that had passed the Winter on the
ground with only a protection Of
leaves. 1t was their visits that called
the attention Of the owner to the tree.
This variety was called Johnson's
Fine Winter until the middle Of the
century, when a noted horticulturist
pronounced it the imperial Of keep
ers" and suggested the name York
Imperial. So popular Is this apple in
its native State of Pennsylvania that
more than $4,000 acres are planted to
1t. Many of these orchards are worth
as high as $1,000 an acre. A large
bowlder marks the site of the original
tree at Springwood farm. near York.
The original Wealthy apple tree was
grown from seed In Minnesota. Peter
NJ. Gideon planted there the seed of
the Cherry Grab, which he had OBJ
tained from Maine. He was rewarded
by this extremely hardy variety, that
has done much to make apple growing
in the extreme Northwestern States
very profitable. He named the new
fruit in honor Of his wife, Mrs.
Wealthy Gideon.
Though the Wealthy apple has been
designated as the most attractive, best
favored and most profitable apple in
Minnesota, it has also gained fame
abroad. It Is now listed by all the
leading nurserymen. The original
tree and its propagation are commend.
rated by a memorial tablet erected by
the Native Sons Of Minnesota.

Some Facts AbOutPeanuts

ready for sale. This Is especially true
In the Virginia North Carolina section.
where the best of the large podded nuts
are sold in the shell for roasting. Be-
fore peanuts in the shell are consid-
cred ready for bagging they pass
through a revolving reel, where sand
and dirt drop out; through a machine
for cutting off the little stems attached
to the pods, past various fans to blow
out chaff. light stems and lightweight
pods, through grading machines and
even a polishing drum, which contains
white, dustlike powder in which the
pods tumble around sufficiently to give
them all a fairly uniform color. Finally,
the pods pass along revolving, endless
belts, along which workers are seated
to remove discolored, misshapen pods
and any remaining foreign material.
Such elaborate preparations, how
ever, are not taken with peanuts that
are to be shelled and sold for sailing,
peanut butter or peanut candy, but
they usually pass through some re.
cleaning machinery before being salt
ed. It is important that stones be re-
moved, however, and device using
air currents and gravity Is employed
for this purpose with Spanish pea
nuts.
Inc SnGllng Is accomplished Dy
forcing the pods between two cylin.
ders, the inner one revolving while
the outer is stationary. To the re-
volving cylinder are attached two
steel "beaters," which strike and crack
the hulls of the nuts. Shelled Virginia
type peanuts are graded into two
sizes, the larger of which is sailed and
the smaller worked into peanut butter
and peanut candy. Peanuts which
have been split in going through the
machinery are used for cheaper grades
of butter and candy.
Spanish and runner peanuts are
always sold shelled. Shelled Spanish
are so uniform in shape that they are
we'll adapted to the penny vending
machines. Spanish peanuts are also
sold to blend with Virginia.type nuts
in making peanut butter. and consid.
cradle and increasing volume Is used
in peanut candy.
Shelled peanuts Of the Virginia type
which are to be sailed have the thin
outer skin removed before being placed
In the vegetable oil In which they are
cooked. With sailed Spanish, how
ever, the thin red skin Is left on.
Peanuts in the shell are roasted Is
minutes to an hour, depending upon
the size OF the rooster and the amount
of heat used. Searching Is likely to re-
suit IT, the heating Is too rapid. The
machinery for roasting peanuts on a
large scale is similar to that used for
roasting coffee.
