Depression's End Seen
for Peanut Industry

Some people have theories about
the superiority OF lower animals to
the human race. They claim, for
instance. that animals eat enough,
and having satisfied their appetites.
quit. Therefore animals have few
digestive disturbances. OF course,
anyone who has tried to bring up a
dog knows there IS something wrong
with the idea, but the theorists laugh
Off this objection by maintaining that
the dog Is almost human. Take the
snake, they say; It eats, then lays
off for days or weeks at time.
Now comes the report from Chi
cago that the zoo animals are suf-
fering from what the French call
evil of the heart, but what we some
times refer TO as tummy-ache, from
eating too many peanuts. They are
being given the well-known and eff
fective remedy.
We merely point out two things
that the ability of animals TO re-
strain their appetites In the pres
ence of peanuts has been overesti-
mated by those who hold up animals
as exemplars of dietary wisdom; and
that the depression is over when kids
can buy enough peanuts to sicken a
whole Zoo.-Detroit News.

PERSIA HAILED
HOME OF PEACH
Expert Considers 1t Fruit That
Tempted Eve.

A small, hairy. inedible peach.
which grows wild at elevations OF
1000 feet In Tibet and China, is the
Adam and Eve OF all modern
peaches, said Lloyd c. Stark, nurs-
eryman OF Louisiana. Mo-, In n recent
talk.
Discussing the origins OF native
fruits and their development through
nursery cultivation To the varieties
grown today, Stark said that for
years II had been supposed the home
OF the peach was In Persia. because
the name peach" and It's European
equivalents were derived from the
word Persian and the Greeks and
Romans called peaches Persian ap-
pies"
With the discovery of the small
hairy peach. however. by Frank
Meyer OF the L. $. Department of
Agriculture, Il became scientifically
established that the original home OF
the peach was the Tibet and Chinese
plateaus. The Chinese called the
wild peaches "Yeo Toa," and used
them for frewood.
Although much Is still to be
learned OF the origin OF other native
fruits, Stark said, all OF them seem
10 have come from the general area
OF Central Asia.
The apple Is supposed TO have
originated north and east OF Persia,
not far from the Biblical location of
the Garden OF Eden; cherries In
Southwestern Asia between the
Black and Caspian seas; and grapes
near the Caspian sea.
The first development OF Wild
fruits was near their original homes.
/ from where the fruits were carried
/ by commerce through the years into
Chinese. Roman, Greek and Persian
civilizations.
In China, the peach was given the
greatest attention and assumed al
most the dignity OF holy fruit. The
peach was mentioned In Chinese lit
erature 1000 years before II was
introduced into Persia ard the
Sanskrit-speaking countries.
To the Chinese, the peach pos
sessed miraculous powers. II In men,

Peaches grow well In sections Of
