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

"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.

Orchard and Garden Work This Week
Have you ordered the missing
trees and vines needed in your orchard?
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.
