MESSAGE TO PEANUT FARMERS. Plant Soy Beans and Make the Peanut Trust Pay Fair Prices. At this time peanuts are bringing very little more per pound than cotton seed, and not in the least keeping pace with cotton and tobacco in price, I write therefore to remind our peanut farmers of the importance of cutting peanut acreage another year and devoting a part of ~ 1 3 A ~ Urt/Nvin TK ic cAoonn ins iaiiU LO 5*U> ucans. i UIO iJtacuu has demonstrated that the peanut trust, which completely controls the price, is determined not to give the farmer a fair price, compared with other staple crops. With cotton selling at 20 cents per pound, cotton seed at $1 per bushel, and tobacco correspondingly high, peanuts should bring 5 cents per pound. The farmers would have been satisfied at a price of 4 to 4 1-2 cents per pound, but they are not satisfied when they are discriminated against as at present. ' In fact, it is rather a "bitter pill" to grow a crop as completely controlled by the trust methods as are peanuts. The writer knows of a case in which a farmer visited several large cleaners and tried to get a price on several thousand bags of peanuts tie controlled ror tne union. The cleaners would not even make him an offer, but told him they had buyers in that territory, and if those . farmers wanted to sell, they could sell to their agents. This indicates the attitude of the trust towards the farmers. It shows how essential it is for the farmers to own the cleaning establishments if they are to be independent. The territory in which peanuts are grown is especially suited to growing soy beans. It is much easier to get a stand on sandy loam soil. Lime is not so necessary as for peanuts. The cotton seed oil mills are adjusting their machinery for crushing beans. The bean meal is even richer, both as a stock feed and fertilizer than cotton seed meal. The soy k Dean on is rapiaiy growing m popularity as a culinary product, and in th8 manufacture of paints, soaps, etc. The short crop of cotton will cause the mills to be short of seed for crushing. This will necessarily Increase the. demand for beans. I want to urge the farmers in the peanut territory where peanuts are being grown so extensively, to introduce the soy bean into their rotation, grow it on the same commercial scale as peanuts^ decrease the acreage of peanuts and at the same time provide a rotation which is a great deal more conducive to maintaining soil fertility than the system of growing peanuts on the land every second year. For a man who plants twenty < acres to the horse I can think of no better rotation than five acres each to corn, peanuts, cotton and soy beans, with a winter cover crop introduced into the rotation whenever possible. This rotation is especially well adapted to Eastern North Carolina. It will certainly add to the fertility of the farm, and can be made exceedingly profitable. With the invention of the soy bean harvester, which saves from 75 to 90 per cent of the beans, th$ soy bean industry - has received a great impetus. The waste beans, after the harvester has been over the field compare quite favorably with the waste peanuts in fattening pork, and can be consumed by the hogs with a great deal less injury to the land as the hogs don't have to root for them. Beans are easily cultivated, take from the soil practically the same elements of plant food as peanuts, and leave the nitrogen fixing bacteria where they grow. From 20 to 40 bushels per acre can be grown with little difficulty. And beans are selling at $1.25 per bushel.?Progressive Farmer. "WOMAN CAN'T BE A FRIEND." Lack in Individuality Prevents Unbiased Thinking, Psychologist Says. Charles Gray Shaw, professor of philosophy at New York university has devoted considerable time and effort in research work on the problem of "Can a woman be a friend, and if not, why not?" Today he made public the results of his study. "She cannot b^ a friend," Professor Shaw announced, "for although the word is given in both genders, the fact alone is masculine. The reason for this state of unfriendliness in woman is that to be a friend a clear cut personality, and a disinterested outlook on life are required. Woman lacks both of them. Woman is never a friend because she is never an individual, and to be an individual one must stand alone. Woman is a planet?a satellite?well adapted to revolving around some center, but not organized so as to stand alone. "Men's clubs, of which they are so proud, are combinations made for killing time and fostering laziness. On the other hand, the woman's club is an attempt to generate feminine friendship. It is hothouse for tender plants."?Kansas City Star. P Worn Out?

Few things add more to the charm of the living room in winter than pots of hyacinths. Get the school children interested in cleaning up the school grounds and in planting trees and shrub bery. Have you observed the high price of fall Irish potatoes? You should have planted a larger crop. About the only refuse on the farm that should be burned is the prunings of fruit trees, vines and berries. Garden peas of hardy Marrowfat type may be planted during December. They will produce in earliest spring, before spring plantings come into bearing. Upon the arrival of fruit trees or other nursery stock, examine them carefully for insects and diseases. Be particularly careful not to set out trees that are infested with San Jose scale, root knot or crown gall. If you fancy that in five or six, weeks from now you would enjoy havins: some fresh succulent vege tables for the table, make a hot bed and plant it to lettuce and radishes. Early maturing varieties of radishes will produce radishes ready for use in four to six weeks from sowing and the lettuce will be ready a little later. One of the cheapest and best methods of planting an orchard is to open the rows for the trees with a two-horse turn plow followed by a sub-soiler. Four to six furrows with these plows will break both the top soil and the sub-soil of an area three to four feet wide, making it an easy matter to finish the work with a hand shovel when the trees are set.?Progressive Farmer.
