Baltinore American. .\ore than 6.ooo,ooo bushels of home-grown peanuts are consumed annually by Americans. involving more than S14,ooo.ooo in the industry, and Suffolk. Va., is the center for this one of the largest enterprises of the world. A remarkable fact in regard to this is that this great business has developed entirely since the trying days of the Civil war. The Union and Confederate troops who campaigned through the peanut sections found that they could ob tain from the nuts a good meal for a very little foraging. Since then the 'goober" and "pinder," as the nut is called in the south, has grown in pop ularity and sale until where once there were .only small patches there are now farms of fifty acres or more. Virginia takes the lead in the in dustry. having large plants at Nor folk, Smithfield, Wakefield, Franklin, Waverly and Petersburg, but at none ofvthe-se places does the business equal that of Suffolk. The finest pea rut grown is of the "bunch" variety, but the Virginia "running" is the most idely known, the most popular with he trade, and may be taken as the :ypical American peanut. Every year the peanut crop is be :oming more valuable and, while all kmericans are fond of the nut, it is vident that the time is coming when ts utilization in manufacturing oil md other products will make inroads n the output for the palate. The old ,vorld is now using millions of bushels tnnually for their oil, which is re arded as equal to olive oil and is now ;old as such. It is also used as lubri ating oil and sometimes takes the >lace of lard. The Virginia nuts have large, white )ods. and in point of flavor and size re the finest raised, the selects from :hese being known as the "Jumbo." rhe white and red nuts of Tennessee tre excellent, but are not so large as he Virginia variety. North Carolina )roduces the African variety, small tnd full of oil, but pleasant to the :aste. Authorities differ as -to the ut being a native of Africa or Brazil. :n Louisiana is found t4e Spanish -ariety. small but prolific, and large juantities are grown. Peanuts will grow in any latitude vhere Indian corn will thrive, but a ood crop depends upon the climate. Mhere the land is pulverized and nade porous and free from grass and veeds. there is little to be done in he way of cultivation after the seed s placed in the ground. Specially de ised ploughs are used for cultivating nd harvesting the crop. The picking of the nuts furnishes ork for thousands of people. prin ipally the -negroes. The vines are tocked or stored in barns after they re ploughed from the ground. The actories, which are really cleaners ~nd graders of the nuts are the outfit f the planters, and, after a treat;ment >f cleaning and sorting, the nut is eady for the consumer. The factories are four-story build ngs and the machinery consists of ans, brushes, polishers and separa ors. The nuts are dumped into large ioppers on the fourth floor, passing nto large cylinders on the next floor, rhere they are cleaned by attrition, ans taking out the dust as they pass n and around the cylinders. Then hey pass to the second floor, where ans blow out and separate the light veight nuts, and the others pass on o tables in the form of endless belts. From these tables the hundreds of vomen and children pick out the dis olored and faulty nuts and allow the etter ones to pass on into the grader. which grades them as to size. The muts then come out as clean as a pearl mnc are placed in chutes running to ie floor. where they are packed inI urlap sacks and are shipped. 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE TRADE MARKS DEsIGNS CopyRmGHTS &C. is probably pa1eComunIc ,ecia notuce, without carge, in the Scienti Jimtrican.
