It Has Become An Established Enter
Prise in Southern Georgia, in the
Opinion of A. E. Praugh.
Atlanta, Jan. 12.—That the peanuf
industry in south Georgia has bhecomuc
un estahlished enterprise and is going
to find an enormous growth in the
nexi year, is the opinion expressed to
day by E. A. Praugh, of the bureau o!
markets of the United States agri
cultural department, and J. A, Wade
©commissioner of agriculture of Ala
bama, both of whom were visitors a
the capitol.
Mr. Praugh has been through the
southwestern section of the state mak
ing an investigation of the crop pre
parations for further enlarging tha!
crop this year. It is his npilii«m that
during the ensuing ycar, there will be
developed a high grade edible ] fron
the peanut, which will take place of
olive oil. He finds that practically
keeping pace with the development of
the peanut enterprise is the increase
in hog raising, which h believes is go
ing to result in material benefit and
betterment for the rural pecple of
the state.
Commissioner Wade of the Alabama
agricultural department, expresses the
belief that there is a very great fu
ture for the peanut farmer, but at
the sgme time there is a very great
danger unless guarded against. If, as
he sees it, in the path of success that
comes with this early development the
farmer does not bear in mind the trou
bles of the one-crop idea that grew
out of knowing ncthing much more
than raising cotton, the peanut may
merely take the place of the cotfon on
that basis, and if it does the same one
crop troubles are going to be expe
rienced. Despite this, however, he
believes peanuts are a perfectly safe
crop for the farmers generally for at
least two or three years. |
Mr. Wade succeeded Commissioner
Kolb in Alabama and, in checking up
the department whe he first went in, it
was Mr. Wade who first uncovered the
graft in public life in that state, which \
alter spread in scope until investiga
tions covered practically all the state‘
departments. Mr. Wade says he will
run next time either for state treas
urer or for governor of Alabama. His

the gray hair disapgears; after anoth-I
