, PROTECT THE PEANUT INDUSTRY
.Unless congress passes some legislation for the
protection of the peanut industry in this country, it
will be seriously crippled by the importation of pea
nuts and oils from foreign countries. The Manufac
turers jRecord in speaking of the shipments from
China,'has the fallowing to say:
“Attention is called by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to the. heavy increase in importa
tions of shelled peanuts which amounted to 46,867,-
439 pounds for the seven months ending with July,
1923, or more than five times the amount imported
during the entire calendar year 1922. The imports
of unsftelled peanuts during the first seven months of
1923 totalled 3,716,594 pounds, or a little more than
Hie total imports of unshelled peanuts during the
whole’of 1922.
"During the same seven months period we import
ed 6,575,042 pounds of peanut oil, or more than dou
ble the imports during 1922- China, the land of
starvation wages, is the principal source from which
wq art importing peanuts, and during the first seVen
months of the year the direct imports of shelled pea
nuts tjrom that country amounted to 71 per cent of
thu total imports. In addition to direct importations
of Chinese peanuts large quantities are trans-ship
ped via Japan.”
With this condition existing and a possibility of the
shipments being increased to this country, the price
of peanuts and oils will be reduced to such an extent
that the industry in tho United States wiil cease to
lie profitable. Tariff restricting legislation should be
pnsed by congress which would give to the American
peanut grower sufficient protection to make this In
dustry self-sustaining and profitable.

With CoL T. Larry Gantt

Mr. Beusse says after securing his
farm he had filled, up a number
of old wells and his father-in-law.
Mr. Middlebrook. also filled up
others. He also removed the brick
banks and other refuse of the town
to make way for the plow. Mr.
Beusse showed us a map of Salem
dated 1820, and it must have been
a place of considerable importance.

when the concrete road was built.
The road will be broadened and
hills graded dwon. The bridge at
Princeton will also be moved down
the stream, thus abolishing
crooked and hilly stretch of road.
We do not know what kind of
bridge will spaa the river at this,

intended to move the bridge at the

“FORGET-ME-NOT’ DAY SATURDAY
• ± Saturday will be observed in this city as “Forget-
i :Mo-Not” day. Under the leadership of Mrs. A. S.
Pnrkor committees will be in charge of the work that
day mattered over the business district of the city.
gPoppiea will be . sold and everyone approach
ed is expected to donate something to the cause. The
purpose of the occasion is most deserving and shpuld
appeal to every true and loyal American. The pro
ceeds will go to a fund for the benefit of disabled
soldiers of the world war.
Saturday will be an unusual day in this city. The
University authorities have designated this day as
‘•Homecoming. Day,” the occasion being the Georgia-
Virginia game, which will bring a large crowd to the
city of out-of-town visitors. It is well that those in ’
aiiilmrity designated this day as “Forget-Me-Not”
day which will give ail visitors as well as home folks
an opportunity to aid in this deserving movement.
PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR’S CROP
It is time for the farmers to commence planning
ami settle on a definite program of acreage for the
192-i'crop. The price of cotton this year will influ-
cicc the farmer, 11c doubt, to increase his acreage in
cotton in 1924. This will lie a serious mistake and it
ia lu.pcd that every farmer in the cotton belt will not
be over-enthused over the present price of cotton and
plant a bumper acreage next year. So long as the
acreage of cotton is kept down, the price will remain
up, but so soon as it is determined that an unusual
increase in acreage has been planted, th; price is as
sure to go down as the crop is made-
It lias been demonstrated that ‘ the farmer can
fit from raising foodstuff, poultry, cattlo and
; and less cottpn. If the plan could be ■ agreed
on by tho cotton growers not to plant more than
ve or six acres of cotton to the plow it would insure
» priee for the crop which would be profitable and
vith an abundant food crop this section of the coun-
would soon become independent. We can not
hope fo'r prosperity and better times unless we farm
on business principles. There is a certain amount of
cotton which is in demand for the world’s supply
and when that supply has been over-produced—then
‘he price is fixed according to the demand which
Beans that a price less than cost to produce will be
paid for cotton. '
, ^ The fanners, merchants and hankers should meet
in every county in this state and formulate a plan,
led on the demand for cotton and reach an agree-
nt to plant a conservative amount of cotton and
; go beyond the acreage which would, produce
formally a supply sufficient to meet the needs and
Bemands of the country. It is purely a business prop
osition and one whicli should be co-operated in by
the agencies which are directly interested and whose
common welfare is involved—the farmer, the mer
chant and the banker.
