Monticello, Ga.
Dear Sirs: "
Please allow me space in
your columns for just a few
words about G. N. 1. College
at Milledgeville.
This college is one of the
largest normal schools in the
South, and of course all the
credit goes to our remarkable
president, Dr. M. M. Parks, of
this city. |
There are nearly 800 girls
in uniform, and the “spirit” of
the girls is wonderful.
The “biggest” thing we are
proud of is our uniform.
Every girl here feels honor
ed to be at such a college.
We are doing good work in
athletics.as well as educational
work. .
- A wonderful new building
is being erected for the benefit
of the girls who are not in this
college and want to come.
' thousand students were
turned off last year because we
“did not have room for them.
. Don’t be afraid to say a
?ood word” for dear old G.
N.IL C. Ithank you.

MONTICELLO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1917.
There Will Always be a Great
Demand for Them—Can
be Grown Here.
“Peanuts for Profit” is the
title of an interesting booklet
just sent out by the Central of
Georgi: Railway Company.
In part the bulletin says:
In 1911 the production of
cotton in Alabama was 1,716,-
000 bales. In 1916, after the
boll weevil had completely in
vaded the State, only 525,000
bales were produced—a de
crease of nearly 64 per cent in
the production of cotton.
In 1914 Georgia produced
2 718,000 bales of cotton. In'
1916, after two years of in
vasion, only 1,845,000 bales
were produced—a decrease of
873,000 bales. With a 64 per
cent decrease in the cotton
crop of Georgia, it will be only
a few years until the cotton
production of that State will
drop to less than 1,000,000
bales—a total annual loss to
the two States of 2,200,000
bales.
With cotton worth 11 cents
a pound and cottonseed meal
worth $22.00 a ton, this, would
represent an annual monetary
loss of $192,000,000 to the two
States.”
.~ The farmers of these two
States cannot afford to suffer a
two hundred million dollar
loss. Neither can the rail
roads, or the merchants, or the
consumers. Some . crop_-will
have to be grown to fill tlé gap ‘
—to provide a ready-money
crop that will take the place of
cotton on the farm. Soy beans
and peanuts, which produce
edible and other oils, as well as’
cake or meal suitable for feed
or fertilizer are the most
promising substitutes. i
Ready-Money Crop. ;
There is a constantly. in
creasing demand for peanut oil
as a food %roduct. Cotton
seed oil has always had a sale
as a food product. It is used
'in making substitutes for lard,
in the vegetable lards in pack
}ing sardines, and othér fish, in
'setting olives, as cooking and
dsalad oil, as an emulsion for
'medical purposes, as a substi
‘tute for sweet oil and for many
other purposes. In 1914,
when the cottonseed oil indus
try was at jits height, over
193,000,000 gallons of cotton
seed oil were made in the U.
S., with a value of $81,000,000.
The demand for cottonseed oil
'is still there. But the boll
' weevil has seriously reduced
the supply.
In peanuts, and in peanut
oil, we have a product that has
proven a satisfactory substi
‘tute. There will always be a
‘demand for them. Peanuts
can be grown at a cost of from
SIB.OO to $20.00 an acre as
compared to a cost of $20.00
for growing cotton. Peanuts
can be grown on soils. that
would not produce a crop of
corn or cotton, and will pro
duce 80 and 90 bushels to the
acre on good loamy cotton
soils.
" Cottonseed Oil Mills Used.
There is noghing particular
ly new in the peanut oil mill.
‘France and Germany have
‘been developing the peanut oil
industry for many years. In
‘Marseilles alone there are 42
peanut oil mills with a crush
}i% carucitf' of 650,000 tons
annually. - In our own South
ern States there are several
strictly peanut oil mills and &
number of cottonseed oil mills
have made the necessary
changese in (their machinery
and are prepared to crush pea
nuts.
~ Any of the hydraulic oil
mills can be adapted to pea
nuts by the installation of
cleaning machinery and the
proper adjustment of the
grinding apparatus,
,The great majority of mills
‘handling peanuts are éguipped
in this way—they grind cotton
seed when they can get it, and
peanuts when they cannot get
cotton seed. i B v

NATIONAL AID .
} TO EDUCATION
‘ —_—
} One >f the principal ad
dresses at the coming meeting
of the Georgia Educational
Association in Mqfion on May
3, 4,5, will be on the important
subject of federal aid to educa
tion. L ’
t This address will be deliver
ed by United States Senator
Hoke Smith, who is one of the
joint authors of the bill, re
cently made law, which appro
priates a large sum from the
lnati(mal treasury for the pur
pose of encouraging and as
\sisting the teaching of agricul
ture, and training in domestic
economy and other vocational
studies, ;
The new law marks a de
cided departure in the policy
of the national government to
ward education in that for the
first time it seeks to render di
rect aid to the schools of the
gseveral states in the teaching
of these particular subjects.
]The appropriation will mean
‘much .to the schools of Geor
fgia. and especially to the rural
ischools. The address ought
to be heard by every progress
ive teacher in a rural school.
up the field after the crop has
been harvested. There are
always a good number of nuts
left in the ground after har
vesting, and a few hogs will
get them out and make a good
side-line profit for you. Then,
too, hogs can always salvage
a peanut crop to good advan
tage if anytning goes wrong,
and the crop is not worth far
keting. -
Every Southern farmer
should make peanuts a part of
his regular- crop rotation.
They can be grown successful
ly on any of loam and sandy'
loam soils at a price that com
pares favorably with corn and
cotton. They can be readily
sold to the oil miller, and offer
a profit only slightly below
that of cotton. The nuts left
in the field after harvesting of
fer a neat profit in by-product
hogs. The hay is one of the
best hays on the market.
Taking it all anc all, pea
nuts are one of the most easily
grown and most reliable crops
for the South, and there is no
reason why every farmer
should not make his profit
from them.
It is claimed half a million
women are now engaged in
the manufacture of munitions
in Great Britain. -
