There ere more women In Industry In Japan than there are men, accordto a statement recently made by the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association. The world war has brought 850,000 women and girls Into the dally grind of industry according to this statement ; 80,000 of them little girls under fifteen years of age who work twelve hours at a wage of ten to twenty cents a day, that the world may have ollk drosses and munitions. In Tokyo alone, a city of two and one-half million people, there are lbO,000 women employed In sixty-two Industries and businesses varying from work as telephone operators, clerks, stenographers and bookkeeper* to work In silk and other sorts of factories and domestic work. Each year thousands of these women go back to their homes in the country, broken In health and victims of tuberculosis because of the -poor conditions under which they work and live. They are housed In dormitories In the factory compound. These dormitories are frequently unsanitary.

Mrs. Harrison lowered the book she had been reading, tried to smother a jrawn with two bejewelcd Angers, apd, adjusting her glasses, looked up at her daughter. vHer voice was very tired when she spoke: "My dear, don't be absurd. You have my consent to give as much of your time as you wish to war relief work and charitable functions, but don't Bpeak to me again of cooking school and domestic science. It Is another foolish idea of Harvey's that has Invaded your head. Harvey's talk about Independence and equality Is as Imposdble as It Is amusing, and his opinion of a model wife Is most unnerving." There was Are In her eyes and a itubborn click, click when her small heels tapped against the pavement as Marion walked down the street half in hour later. Mrs. Harrison lunched alone that noon, after Jane had informed her that Marlon was not In her room and nowhere to be found In the house. ? It was a neat, pink-cheeked and rather excited young person who entered Murphy's employment bureau. Marion was hardly Inside the door when she was grabbed by a sharp-eyed office assistant "What do you want?" this person inquired. "Cooking or chamber work, or do yod want laundry work ?" "I haven't meclallzMi in ?n? ?? ?. dcular line of housework," said MartMi, bravely. "I prefer to take entire :harge of the home of a small family," ihe ventured on. "I see. General housework."

She want THE THRONE 01 May Be Occupied For a Ti Peanut Growing Prcj (By W. M. Goodman.) * Better farming in the South may follow In the wake of the boll-weevil. Adoption of long-talked-of systems of diversified farming, stock-raising and soil-bulldlng may be forced upon the farmers of the cotton belt as a result of the Incursion of this voracious and Implacable enemy of King Cotton. And with these changes and Improvements, and ^he consequent eradication of this destructive pest, cotton may again be enthroned . under conditions which will Insure a more prosperous reign. The Value of Peanuts. The boll-weevil Is expected to be In fall force next year in the best cotton growing sections of Georgia and the Caroline*, and the forehanded farmer m?T profit bv Annrlnr In nnoniO mil. tare on an extensive scale. Dr. W. W. Long, Director of .Extension, Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina, says: "The value of the peanut, both as a money crop and for feeding on the farm, renders It especially desirable as a part of the rotation wherever conditions suitable to Its development exist." And such conditions are found in x^any sections of the southeast, and are especially favorable in the coastal plains regions of North and Louth Carolina. In some parts of the South peanuts have already supplanted cotton on many farms heretofore devoted almost exclusively to the growing of that staple. It Is shown by recent reports from the boll-weevil territory of Georgia that the peanut Is one of the most profitable crops that can be grown lu the place of cSPton. Prof. H. C. Thompson, U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry, suvs: "Peanut growing Is desirable in the cropping system In some parts of the cotton belt. The commercial value of the crop Increased from $7,270,515, in 1899 to $18,271,929 in 1909, and the Increase since 1909 has been even greater than before that year. These facts do not represent the full value of the crop, for they do not take Into account thousands of acres of peanuts grown for hog feeding purposes." The Peanut as a Nitrogen Gathered "The peanut plant. In common with other iegumes, has the power of collecting nitrogen from the air and storing it in nodules on Its roots," says Prof. Thompson. "For this reason the peanut Is a very desirable soil Improving plant. It should be borne in mind, 1 however, that in order to nenent the ' soli the main portion of the mots should be left In the ground. The unrugeu garnering Dacterla are usual- ' ly present In abundance even where the soil is planted for the first time." Importance of Lime in the 8oil. 1 Authorities agree that peanuts re- ] quire an abundance of lime to Insure i proper ripening and the filling of pods and the testimony of practical peanut i growers bear them out In this state- s ment. j Wherq^ the soli contains limestone or t shells It may not be necessary to np^ly t lima, but on most sandy soils, aud oh t Summer Winthrop July 15 Faculty?Over 40 experie Course?Full courses for tary and Primary Work, ft No ftlatriculation or Tuitl from South Carolina.

F KING COHON | me By a Worthy Consort? j fitable In Cotton Belt land that is in the least soar, from one' to two tons of pulverized limestone per acre should be applied broadcast after the land is plowed and thoroughly mixed with the soil by harrow. Dr. Long says: "It is necessary to lime the soil for peanuts, unless It is definitely known that there Is an abundance in the soil, In this state at least 1,000 pounds of burnt hme or 2,000 pounds of ground limestone stv'fjld be used per acre." Batanoed Rations. jreanuta require phosphate as welt as lime, but It should be borne in mind that neither of these elements can be omitted under average conditions, and* in the coastal plains regions potash should be included. One element may help, but it's the combination that brings big results. A "balanced ration" la as necessary for plants as for animals. Market Fer Peanuts. Most farmers have a fair idea of the market for peanuts for roaktlnr and for the manufacture of various products, such as salted peanuts, peanut candy, peanut butter, etc.,*but less Is known concerning the Importance of this product In the manufacture of vegetable oils. With the coming short- , age of cotton seed from which to ftiake oil, and with an Increase In demand, there seems to be a great field-for the peanut oil Industry in the South. In addition, the peanut yields a 'aluable hay crop, and when peanuts aro harvested for market hogs may be turned Into the Held to glean whatever fk left after digging. It Is said that many growers fatten two bogs on each acre of peanuts so harvested. "Few If any crops will produce more pounds of pork on an %cre of land or produce It at a lower onof ? ? w.<k i>c> nvie luBu pt-auuis, says a writer on this subject, "and in addition tc the profit on pork, the crop producing capacity of the soil will be materially Increased." ( The Outlook. The farmer who knows how to raise peanuts will make money, but the haphazard farmer can never realize much profit on any crop. There Is much to be learned as to preparation of soils, planting, cultivating and ba?? vesting, but our 'state experiment stations will furnish the necessary Information. The peanut crop In some of the states la short this year and growers are expecting higher prices. The crop Is above the average In quality uud It Is thought that the h'gher grades will reach 12 % cents to 14 cents a pound \ by Christmas, and peanut'oil has ad* ranced 3 cents a pound. This means i good profit for the farmer, and as here is no danger of flooding the market, growers may lock for large re:un\R next year. The oil mills of the South now proride a market for hundreds of thou:ands tons of peanuts and the average irlce during the past three years for he qmall white Spanish variety hi >een $100 per ton; the presani >a'jr? t about 5200 per ten. - - - - 1 - . .1- .
