SOME THINGS WORTH KNOWING
ABOUT IMPORTANT SOUTH
GEORGIA PRODUCT.
Five to seven weeks is none too
long for the peanuts to remain in
the stack before being picked from
the vines. If picked sooner the pods
will not be fully dry, there will be
danger of their moulding in the bags
and furthermore the nuts go on draw
ing from the vines for a consider
able period after they are dug and
stacked and fill out to better ad
vantage than when picked from the
vines too soon. The hay will not be
damaged to any extent in the stacks
for at least six weeks. Peanuts
should be picked only during dry,
crisp weather and never during the
foggy damp weather. The old method
of picking by hand has been super
seded by the use of machinery; in
fact it would not be economical at
the present prices of labor to pick
by hand. Great care must be taken,
however, in picking to see that the
machine does not break or injure the
pods. Moderate speed and slow feed-‘!
ing are absolutely essential in order |
to produce a high grade product for|
the market. If the machine is not,
doing good work either adjust it
properly or, if it cannot be adjusted, |
discard it and get one that will do|
the work as it should be done. The
statement is frequently made that the;
oil mills d 6 net ebject to but in Taer)
prefer to get peanuts that are badly
broken and a great many of them |
shelled in the threshing. This st,ate-‘;
ment has been made on the part Ofi
those having machines that greatly |
damage the peanuts and not by thei
oil mill operators, In fact the shell-|
ing or breaking of the peas is a great |
objection from the standpoint of the,
oil mill, as the average oil mill erush. |
es cotton seed until late in the winter,!
reserving peanuts until the spring'
time or early summer. Whenever'
stored in the bulk or into the warm
weather of the spring time the shell
ed and broken peanuts become ran
cid, rendering them unfit for the pro
duction of first class peanut oil. The
same applies to peanuts intended for
shelling and for confectionery pur
poses. The shelled peas become ran
cid and those that are split or broken
not only become rancid but are coat
ed with dirt as well. There can be
no justification for any claim that
peanuts shelled and broken in the
threshing are as good as those that
are not damaged and the difference
lies in the type and operation of the
machinery used in removing them
from the vines. : :
In the state of Alabama there are
very large quantities of Spanish pea
nuts grown, standard market grades
have been adopted. It is highly desir
able that these similar grades be
adopted by every Southern state in
which peanuts are being grown for
the market. When the peanut shell
er or oil mill desires to buy peanuts
in any given territory and can do so
on established grades their cost of
buying will be greatly reduced as
compared with the present method of
inspecting every load at the car door.
There is no reason why the grades of
peanuts should not be as thoroughly
standardized as those of cotton, corn,
or wheat, and the peanut industry of
the South will not be properly sta
bilized until such grades are adopted
and followed. sl
While the possibilities of the pea
nut as a money crop in the boll wee
vil infested section of the South have
been greatly over-estimated, it is be
yond a doubt one of the most valu
able crops for the southern farmer.
Specialization in the production of
peanuts on a large scale on any one
farm is to be discouraged. On the
other hand, the planting of peanuts
in the proper crop ration, suited to
size and type of farm, is to be en
couraged. If given the proper place
in the farm system the peanut will
prove one of the most profitable crops
for the southern farmer. -
In common with most other farm
products the price of peanuts is rela
tively high at present and there is
every reason to believe that with the
constantly increasing demand and
uses of peanuts a steady market
will continue. It is a sure prediction
that, regardless of market conditions,
the first demand will be for high
class standard grade peanuts and the
grower who dees not produce a good
article will not find so ready a mark
et. The peanut will continue in fa
vor as a feed and forage crop
throughout the South, and a good
bunch of hogs offer about as réady
market as could be desired, despite
the fact that peanut-fed pork is sold
at a slight discount.—Fort Gaines

THE DAWSON NEWS
A FAMOUS POLITICAL
FEUD IS RECALLED
| NEW YORK, N. Y.—Recollections
of the political feud which resulted
in the duel between Alexander Ham
ilton and Aaron Burr, at Weehawken,
N. J., in 1804 have been revived here
by the merger of the Manhattan com
{pany and the Merchants National
,banks, two of the oldest financial in
stitutions in New York.
i For more than 115 years the two
‘establishments have dwelt side by
side at 40 and 42 Wall street, and
%in 1882 they united in the construc
tion of the new building which they
have occupied jointly ever since. In
the union of these once rival institu
tions the metropolis loses probably
the last tangible trace of the most fa
mous of early American antagonisms.
Although the banks themselves have
long since “buried the hatchet,” there
was a time when they were neighbors
in name only—when the mere sug
gestion of their getting together
would have been dismissed as un
thinkable.
i Burr was elected to the New York
|legislature in 1797, when the state
(and city were controlled by Hamilton
%as the leader of the federalists. Ham
{ilton had helped to establish in New
fYork a branch of the Bank of the
iUnited States. This was then the on
i‘,’y }_\:::;j;‘_: institution in New York
‘city. The institution was controlled,
}so the republicans led by Burr al
{leged, by the federalists, who were
lcharged with using their financial
'powers for the furtherance of the
| federalist cause.
The political ambitions of the “lit- |
tle intriguer” at Albany caused him
to desire to break through the bank
ing ring which barred all anti-feder
alist banks from New York, and his
opportunity came in 1799. In that
year he introduced a bill in the legis-]
lature which authorized the grant
ing of a charter to a company which
was ostensibly to be formed for the
purpose of improving the water sup
ply of New York city. The city, then
with a population of 50,000, had Just!
ipassed through a severe epldennc and
]Burr’s project quickly met with pop
ular approval. The real object of the
lManhattan company was to supply re
publicans with the sinews of war,
1 Republican merchants, it was said,
‘were disecriminated against by the
| federalist bank, whereas their feder
jalist competitors were freely accom
{modated when they sought funds to
icarry on their business. The adroit
|ness which Burr employed to obtain
ta charter was emphasized by the fact
|that the federalists had a majority
in the legislature.
The petition for the proposed “wa
ter works” company stated that, as it
was not known how much capital
would be required, the projectors did
not want to risk failure by a defi
ciency of capital, and, therefore, ask
ed authority to raise $2,000,000. In
serted in the charter was a provision
of Burr’s that “the surplus capital
‘may be employed in any way not in
consistent with the laws or the consti
tution of the United States or of the
state of New York.”
. The senate and house passed the
}bill expeditiously, few members even
taking the time to read it, and none
;except those who were in the secret
suspecting its real purpose. Burr’s
‘manipulation of this affair won him
the favor of a few republican leaders,
but cost him his former prestige, the
people at that time having a chronic
}prejudice against banks. Four years
later, however, Hamilton, unwilling
to yield the slightest degree to his
opponent, organized the Merchants
‘National, which opened for business
'next door to Burr’s institution.
' The Manhattan company’s actual
'achievement in the water works field
‘was the sinking of a well 25 feet in
‘diameter in what is now downtown
New York. The water was pumped to
'a nearby reservoir and thence dis
‘tributed through wooden pipes to a
few consumers. The dams and other
projects provided in the charter were
never constructed.
