FARMERS SHOULD
PLANT PEANUTS
I
Profit In Planting For Food
As Well as Forage
Crops.
Farmers in the South have
realized more and more the pos
sibilities in the humble “goober
pea."
Peanuts are a profitable crop.
More than this, peanuts are a
crop that can be depended upon.
On land that is too poor to
raise good corn, peanuts may be
grown in abundance, and at the
same time will enrich the soil.
Nothing else that farmers raise
will survive drought more suc
cessfully. Peanuts are also
adapted to the rain belt.
The food-consuming world is
fast coming to a realization of
the true food value of peanut
butter.
All over the country the de
mand exists and is constantly in
creasing for this most nutritious
product.
The tendency of the price is
upward and there never will be
a time when the farmer with a
good crop of clean, sound nuts
cannot dispose of them and pock
et a handsome profit.
Still another thing that ap
peals to the peanut grower is the
high food value of peanut vine
hay, which is equal to alfalfa in
richness.
This hay is feed with excellent
results to work horses, milch
cows, swine, etc. The famous
Smithfield hams of Virginia are
the result of a part-peanut diet.
Our advice to Southern farm
ers is that they grow peanuts—
acres of them. The by-product
peanut vine hay —will help
solve stock feeding problems.
The markets await the crop and
will pay top prices.
It should pay this year to de
vote more land and more time to
the peanuts.
Ma Was Wise.
And that reminds us of some
thing we haven’t thought of for
weeks—a little incident told us
by a student, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
"I was calling on a swell girl,"
relates this sophomore. “She
was all right, believe me, and I
respected her a whole lot. But
her mother didn’t seem to like
me. In spite of the fact that I
treated the girl like a perfect
lady, her mother was always do
ing the busy-chaperone act.
Honest, I never touched the girl’s
hand except with the greatest
formality, and yet the old lady
seemed to think she must spy on
us as if I was plotting to rob the
nest of its brightest bird. Finally
I complained to the girl.
“ ‘Why is it.’ I said, ‘thatyour
mother never trusts us alone to
gether?’
“ ‘l’ll tell you, Willie,’ she
answered. ‘Mother knows me
better than you do!’ ’’ -

Body Dragged a Mile
In Wheel of Train.
Huntsville, Ala., April 3. — A
young man supposed to be Noble
Davis, of Lewisburg, Tenn., was
killed by the Memphis special on
the Southern Railway today west
of Huntsville.

and dragged more than a mile,
parts being scattered along the
track. The only mark or paper
of identification was a bill made
out by a Lewisburg firm to Noble
Davis.
Savannah Preparing For
Days of Spring Festivities.
Savannah, Ga., April 4.—Sa
vannah proposes to give up a
week to enjoyment of the most
delightful season of the year for
out-of-doors life when the Natio
nal Drainage Congress holds its
fourth annual sessions in this
city April 22-25. An elaborate
program has been arranged for
the pleasime of the delegates
and of thousands of visitors

the opportunity for a few days
of recreation after Lent. A flo

ly illuminated thoroughfares, and
a day at Tybee Island, Friday,
April 24, \vhen the sea-shore

chief among the features.
One Burned to Death.
St. Augustine, Fla., April 4.
One person is believed to have
been burned to death in the firt
here yesterday, which destroyed
five tourist hotels, the St. John’s
county court house and other
property valued at approximate
ly $750,000. Workmen engaged
in clearing away the debris to
day found charred bones and
what'appeared to be the ash of
clothing in the ruins of the
Florida House, where the fire
originated. It had been supposed
that all guests and employes of
the hotel escaped. Efforts are
being made tonight to establish
the identity of the person believed
to have been burned.
Body Found In The Satilla.
Waycross, Ga., April 3.—To
day in the Satilla river at Wal
tertown the body of an unknown
white man was found, so badly
decomposed that identification
was impossible. At the coroner’s
inquest a yerdict declaring that
the man met death by unknown
violence was returned, being
based on what the jurymen took
for bloodstain on a cuff and a
bullet hole near the heart. Offi
cers have had no reports of a
missing man and have no infor
mation that would show at what
point the body was thrown into
the river.
Showing George Up. |
There is nobody like a sister
to give you a line on a young
man, relates the Detroit’ Free
Press. Thus, a girl had just got
engaged to a fine, handsome
chap, and she said to this man’s
sister one day:
“Next Thursday is George’s
birthday, and I don’t know what
to give him. Will you, as his
sister, understanding all his
tastes as you do— won’t you sug
gest some present for him?"
“Oh, I hardly know what to
suggest," said the sister, care
lessly, “but from my knowledge
of George, I should say that he’d
prefer something that he could
pawn easily."
Recognition.
A contributor to Lippincott’s
Magazine tells of an amusing
scene recently witnessed in a
Cincinnati machine shop on the
occasion of the retirement, after
a service of thirty years, of a
valued and faithful employee. In
consideration of his long service,
the company had arranged to
give him a purse of money, and
it fell to the lot of the superin
tendent, who was a German, to
make the presentation speech.
This is how he managed it:
“Gustave, you has vorked for
dis company over thirty years,
yes?"
A bow from the recipient of
the purse.
“Und now you are going to
quit, yes?"
“Veil, Gustave, der company
is so glad of it dot I had been
asked to hand you dese hundred
dollars."
