PEANUTS [OR OIL PRODUCTION Urgent needs by the allied armies for edible oils together with trans oprtation conditions occasioned by the war have reduced the transpor tation of oils into the United State3 to such r.: extent that the price of peanut oil at the mills has increased 100 per cent since 1915. In the manu facture of peanut oil there are valu able by-p-roducts such as inferior nuts, peanut cake, peanut vine hay and ot'l er feed products. These by-products are among the richest of stock feeds and can be utilized to good advantage in feeding cattle, hogs, horses and mules so that the by-product itself is an important soui cc of prjfit to both the oil manufta':ture.' and the farmv'i Taking all factor3 into car, sid::rat:on it seems that there is an op pr.rtun.

Ruan-id peanut oil made from spoiled outs, or from sound nuts improperly treated, can be refined and made edibta, but this lacks the characteristic pe 's'ut taste of high grade oil, and is inferior for salads and table purposes. Mixe i with other oils it yields a satisfactory" product. An analysis of twelve sam pIles of Spanish peanuts shows them to contain 52.8 per cent of oil, and nineteen samples of the Virginia pea nuts an average of 43 per cent, fig ured on the basis of dry shelled nuts. In actual practice there are about 600 pounds of hulls and trash in each ton of the farmers' stock. Estimating these nuts to contain 50 per cent oil would give approximately 700 lbs. of oil and 700 lbs. of high grade meal in each ton of the farmers' stock. If the cuts are crushed with the hulls the yield of meal will be about 1,250 lbs. but of a lower grade. After the trash is removed and the oil expressed fron Spanish nuts( the ;residual peanut take contains about 9 per cent of oil, which would leave approximately 637 pounds of oil for each ton of the farm ers' stock, or a total of 85 gallons. The Valencia is a comparatively new- variety. It is a fair yielder on the average soils, but is not consid ered as desirable as either the Florida Runner or the Spanish, although on hinds. used for trucking it has pr duced good yields. For oil production the White Span ah is the favorite variety; the propor cion of meal to hull is greater than in other varieties, and it yields a Higher percentage of oil. The main )bjection, to it has been that it sprouts readily as soon as ripe if the soil is moist; and as peanuts have been used almost entirely for hog feeding, al lbwing" the hogs to pasture them, it is Go I. j whe cess< autc A FU] A Bi SPR] Our Mr. I 45 Soi often desirable that they remaii ir the soil until late fall or winter. -W-S-S SUMMER SCHOOL FOR COLORED TEACHERS The State Summer School for Col ored Teachers begins at the State Col. ored Agricultural Collegq at Orange. burg Monday, July 24th and will be ir session four weeks.

Hunger is causing more intense suf fering than are shells aid poisonous gases combined. Out of a frightful situation, says "Farm and Ranch," the voices of starving men, women and children appeal to humanity as never before. We may aid them :i we will save for them. Annually we waste enough food to feed them. "Our farms can be made to - pro duce more for them. No true Amer ican is careless of suffering. Natur ally Americans are generous and sym pathetic and all that is necessary is to remind them. Then they will do the rest. Our lands will produce more; our people save more; the world will smile more. Then will come the pleas ing consciousness that we of America have (lone more, and in the doing, helped more. But while we are doing our utmost to produce and make it possible for our army and navy to win the war, we must maintain, so far as possible, the fertility of our own soil, and this means the maintenance of our farm buildings, labor-saving implements, vehicles, machines and home conven iences. "Not only shotild we strive to live this year, but as long as our Crea tor endows us with life and vigor to do our part in peace as well as in war. Let us long for peace upon just, honorable and satisfactory terms and strive to get ready to do our part when it comes. Reconstruction may be trying. Why not plan our affairs so we may help the Government, so ciety, and the civilized world to be come normal after the enemy suc cumbs to the laws and ideals of hu Inanity? "Let us look wisely and well to the future. Produce and prepare for peace, contentment and happiness 1which will come, if we, as citizens and neighbor, do our 'part to sustain the war." "The one union to which all of us belong, and to which our paramount allegiance is owing, is that union awhich is known as -the American re public. "Let us steadily keep in mind the one great fact that nothing must be allowed to interfere with ample pro duction. This means that there must be no attempt by the Government to price fixing which shall result to the detriment of the farmer."
