SOME ADVANTAGES ABE ENUMERATED Thousands of Aere? Are Being Planted In Them?Good Money in the Crop at 75 Cent* a busnei. | '(Ralph Smith In Atlanta Journal.) Next to cotton, there is no product of the soil that is attracting more attention among the farmers of Georgia today than peanuts, and, as has been pointed out several times, there are certain sections of the state in which the acreage in peanuts will exceed that in cotton. Many of the most successful farmers in the state are convinced j that peanuts can be produced more profitably than cotton, and here and there, I have found men who do not intend planting a stalk of cotton, but are determined to engage extensively in the production of peanuts. Recently at Madison, my good friend, Charles M. Furlow, whose interest in the welfare of the people and the development of Georgia is appreciated by I all who know him, remarked upon the I go?d work that is being done by the Bank of Rutledge in encouraging Morgan county farmers to turn to peanuts as a money crop. Thos. Peacock, cashier of the bank, is one of the most pro gressive citizens of the county, and he is giving lots of attention to the farming situation. Rutledge Bank's Letter. Mr. Peacock has recently addressed a communication to the friends and customers of the Bank of Rutledge about the production of peanuts?a communication that can not fail to appeal to every man who reads it. "We want to tell you in all frankness that the time has come for an upheaval of our farm plans and methods," re-marks Mr. Peacock. "If you don't know how to raise anything but cotton, you had better be sitting up nights figuring on something else because your days of prosperity and prominence are numbered. "Whenever it gets cold enough for your wells to freeze over you can begin to plant, another cotton crop, but until then there are other things infinitely easier and moro profitable than chasing up and down cotton rows from April to September with every conceivable kind of trap and weevil catcher. Another fool idea the southern farmer can dispense with is that he 'was put here to clothe the world.' Let's let them wear fig loaves for a while. Wc believe in planting some cotton, but it ought to be so little that it wouldn't make any difference if we didn't make a boll. "During the past several months we have sent you every bulletin the department of agriculture has issued, on peanuts. We have sent you the booklet the Peanut Crushers' association issued; we are now Bending you in pamphlet form, "How to Grow and Gather Peanuts,' written by Mr. C. J. Rambo, president o.' Edison Oil company, and we are writing Mr. N. L. Wijlet for copies of his booklet on 'Commercial Peanuts and Their Culture,' which we shall mail to you. We have orders with the State College of Agriculture and the U. S. Department of Agriculture for a supply of any new bulletins that may be issued. By the time we get through you will have in *,AM" ltABoaoelAn oil iKft n X'Q i 1U hip infOT JUUl |n/OOCOOiVII US* VilV t> * ?.v mation in the world on peanuts; besides you have been raising them more or less all of your life and eating them every time you had a nickel. There can be no excuse for not knowing what a peanut is and how to grow it. Compared to Corn. "The next crop after cotton that a man in this part of Georgia thinks about is corn. The acre that will make fifteen bushels of corn at 50 cents per bushel will make forty bushels of peanuts at 75 cents per bushel. We leave it to you as to which is worth the most, the fodder from this corn or the hay from the peanuts. If you never sold a sprig of hay or a single peanut you still raised a crop more than twice as valuable as corn. There is no better stock food in the world than peanuts.

In 1920, the figures show, 3,222 boys of 16. years, or three-tenths of one per cent, of the total of that age, compared with one-tenth of one per cent, in 1910, were married,, while those 17 ycar3 of age married numbered 7,699, or eight-tenths of one per cent of the total of that age compared with half that proportion ten years previously. The number of married girls 16 years of age increased from 34,829 or 3.7 per cent of the total female population of that age, in 1910, to 41,626 or 4.2 per cent, of the corresponding tote 1 ill 1920. ? Investigators of the murder of Wm. Desmond Taylor, film director, at Los Angeles, California, are waiting to see if anything would result from the announcement of Thomas Lee Woolwine, district attorney, that Edward P. Sands, missing former butler-secretary to Taylor would not be prosecuted on an embezzlement charge preferred by hiB former employer If Sands could prove himself innocent of the slaying of Taylor and "untangle this murder mystery." Woolwine's announcement followed receipt of a letter purporting to have been written by Sands. The writer stated he was in Los Angeles, was not guilty of the murder of Taylor but could name the murderer and solve the mystery of the slaying. He inquired whether he would be set free in case he surrendered and proved Innocence of the slaying. He asked that the district attorney publish his reply "in any of the Los Angeles" papers," and woolwine made public the letter and the answer, the latter being addressed "to Edward F. Sands through the public press." Woolwine stated he had no means of knowing whether the letter was genuine, but that he and his investigator thought it better to "treat it as such" in the hope that it was. ? Forty-eight years ago Peter Mooney was shot to death in his bed at Pnmo fin anH nn lust Fridav Sher Iff Wilson forwarded to Birmingham, Ala., a' warrant authorizing the arrest of a man wanted ns a slayer. The crime had long sir.ce been forgotten in Home except by relatives of the slain man until the sheriff received a letter from a Birmingham attorney which, it was said, contained the information that the man long sought was residing near Birmingham. The attorney, George A. Favors, said the man, whose name the sheriff withheld, had been living under an assumed name and had been married there 20 years ago and recently was divorced. The divorce resulted in his identity coming to light, it was said.

The playing of dominoes, a widley popular indoor sport, or loitering about domino parlors In the military area here will constitute prima facie cvi dence that persons so engaged are vag-, rants, according to an order published by Brigadier General Jacob F. Wolters, sent to Mexia, Texas, several weeks ago by Gov. Pat M. Neff to restore order and break up alleged trafficking in whisky and drugs. General Wolters' orders were followed by an announcement that the military had arrested 72 persons in a raid on a domino parlor a few steps away from military headquarters and that police had taken several scores In a similar raid. The vagrancy charges would be preferred against such prisoners before the civil authorities, it was said. ?
