Perhaps no other j1 crop is attracting so much attention as the peanut. Our supply of bulletins on peanuts has been exhausted, I, says Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agrono-1 mist, but we are preparing another | bulletin which will soon be ready for distribution. We are giving below the answers to the questions we are most frequently asked: 1. It the peanut a profitable cash ! crop? v I' . Yes, if given the proper atten-1 tlon, It compares favorably with cot- j 1 ton. I recently asked a number of j1 farmers of. Georgia and Alabama this 1 question, and here are some of their < answers: "The peanut has the best I future to It of any crop we know." j "Bankers and business men in peanut , territory will testify in favor of pear , j nuts." "Banks are more willing to j, lend money to the poor farmer and tenant who Is willing to grow a good crop of peanuts." "Cash returns from ; peanuts haven't been so great ae from cotton before the weevil infes-j tgtlon, but we have not become very ; 1 efficient in the production of peanuts : yet. At the present time peanuts | pay us much better than cotton un- , a?r weovu conditions." "Farmers j here are in much better financial con- . dition than ever and would continue to plant peanuts if weevils were not here." | j 2. Do peanuts require as much labor as cotton? A. No. Different farmers who have ' had experience with both estimate 1 from half as much to the same ' amount. 11 3. Are peanuts a sure crop? j A. Yes. They are safer than cotton if given as careful attention. \ 4. What kind of soil is best for 1 pen nuts? ! , A. Peanuts can ha grown under a ( wide range of soil conditions. The bast soil is a well drained sandy loam with a reasonable amount of humus ' and plenty of lime. The heavier soils ! will make good yields of nuts, If they . have plenty of humus and are frl&hle, ' hut they are not so easily cultivated ] and they may Btain tho nuts. This makes the nuts less saleable but does not Injure them for home use. 6. What kind and amount of fer- ' tilizer should be used for peanuts? j A. For the Coastal Plains section of South Carolina ws recommend an I 8-8-3 fertilizer. The amount wfll de- 1 pend on the kind of soil. Five to eight hundred pounds will pay best on the average. On soils that are rich in organic matter an 8-2-8 fertlll- 1 ser will probably pay best. In the . Piedmont section a t-2-3 will glvs 1 good results. j 8. Is lime necessary for peanuts? : A. Soils that are acid need lime, i These are usually the soils that are poorly drained or have been poorly ! drained in the paeb If your soli needs lime, apply 1,000 pounds of burnt lime or 2,000 pounds of ground . limestone per acre. 7. When should peanuts be plant- ,1 sd? A. The best time to plant is when I the soil becomes thoroughly warm in the spring. They may be planted as late as July the 16th. This means ' they can be planted after a crop of . oats is harvested. i f. What distance should be given '' them? A. The Spanish variety should be ' planted in rows 20 to 26 lnehes apart 1 end about 6 Inch ? between plants.! For the large varieties more distanoe 'i !e better. f. What variety is beet to use? A. The White Spanish le best for teillleg and for gracing. The Tlr-1 ginia Bunch, Red Tennessee and Va-'. lensla are good for home consumption 1 and peanut stande. 10- How much saad are required to plant an acre? A. Of the Spanish variety one 1 peck shelled or one and one-half to H two peeks uaeheUed. The Ylrginla I Bunoh requires about one and one-1 half peeks shelled. 11. How ekould they be eultivat-' ed? A. Cultivation should begin imm<>-' diately after the plante are well up' aad should be continued nntll they j begin to "peg" or form pods. After ( this bfaey should aot be disturbed. I Never let peanuts get grassy or weedy. They should have frequent! shallow cultivation. The soil should i be moved gradually toward the i plants to afford loose earth for the i "pegs" to penetrate. 12. Is It necessary to cover blossoms with sell? a. ixu. mi pvgs will una uieir | way into the noil if they receive the , proper cultivation. Covering the blossoms prevents pollination. 13. Are there machines for plant-1 Ing, harvesting end picking poanuts?i A. Tee. There ere several ma- | ohines which do these various operations with reasonable success. More ' information will he given on this I point in our bulletin which is to coine out soon. 14. It there a certain market for peanut* next year? A. We feel very sure there will be. The oil mills of this state elalm they will need 600.000 tons to keep running all the year. Tor information about where the seed mey be secured write the Afroaomy Division of Clemson College.

F. were embarking for their nativfi land. This proclamation waa an appreciation of the land of L ifnvette to the American Soldier. Ti.?. e---?i'.h Government has had t.Ms tii.- ' printed for distribution among the ex-soldiers. It is a neat 32-page pamphlet and is something that every American Soldier who saw French soil should have. It has been intended by the French Government that this memorial should be presented to the American Expeditionary Forces before they left France, but it was not ready in time to be given to all. However, determined that our men who fought overseas should know that the French Government appreciated their sacrifices, their heroism and their achievements,it has requested that the memorial be presented to them individually. Soldiers and former soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces can obtain a copy of the memorial at Army Recruiting Station, P. O. Bldg., Florence, S. C. The French Government regrets that the supply of this pamphlet is 50 small that it cannot be distributed generally, for it contains abundant l! ' ' ' null i iaiict- a nation anu me French as individuals appreciate in full measure the glorious record of American Arms in the war on Prussianism. The pamphlet is a brief history of what Americans accomplished. It includes also interesting figures as to the devastation wrought by the invading enemies and >f the great financial and commercial losses inflicted upon the land of Lafayette. Even though it involves a little trouble, every reader who is'entitled to receive one of these pamphlets is urged to obtain one, for as time goes ail, souvenirs of the World War become scarcer. This souvenir will go iown to posterity as a mark of your service to the Nation during the World War. LOOK FOR OIL IN EASTERN PART OF NORTH CAROLINA Eastern North Carolina may rival the young oil fields of Texas and Kentucky and overdo Dr. ColF.-y's outfit in Oklahoma within the next few months if the dreams of Paul C. Rcmick of Wilmington come true. So certain is he that there is oil hidden in the depths of the earth down in Pender and Duplin counties that he leased forty thousand acres of land from the State board of education a few days ago and will proceed to test his belief. The Department of education will get one-sixteenth of the proceeds if there are any, and if there are not it will lose nothing at all. The lands that are suspected of hiding oil are a part of the publiclands of the State that were divided up among the Departments long years ago It is mostly swamp land and heretofore no stretch of the imagination has been able to affix any value to it. It has served no purposes save that of breeding mosquitoes. Of these it produces millions annually. There are not a few citizens of the southeastern section that hold to the opinion that there is a vast quantity of oil in the earth down in that section. Notable among the protagonists of the petroleum theory is Col. Thomas W. Clawson, for years editor of The Wilmington Star, He believes that North Carolina in general has everything that a beneficient providence ever designed for the benefaction of an unworthy people, and that naturally includes oil. Col. Clawson has talked oil wells for eastern North Carolina, believes in them absolutely and has convinced others that there is a fortune hidden at no great depth below *he surface. He is not promoting any oil company, but he has spread his belief abroad until it has taken root in the minds of others, and hence the leasing of the State's property down in Duplin and Render. No anouncement has been made of the immediate inten. tions of Mr. Rcmick, but it is unlikely that he will be long about making them pubic. The Monroe Journal. President Wilson's industrial labor conference has announced tentative plans on a large scale for the prevention and settlement of labor troubles. The conference proposes to organize u board for the purpose of settling bv arbitration controversies befoie they v.use th cessation of j.ro.iui lion. in oilier woru:1 ui< case of a threatened strike would be taken up and arbitrated before the employees stopped work. The plan will be placed before labor organizations and employers with a view of getting their views. If an agreement can be reached it is thought that the scheme will put an end to such strikes as the recent coal wulkout. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured With LOCAL.

V f KEEPING UP THEIR INSURANCE The Government, through the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, wrote! approximately $-10,000,000,000 of in- j surance upon the lives of more than : 4,600,000 ser\ :ce men and women. Phis is a larger volume of insurance than is in force in the old-time insurance companies in the United States. Approximately 90 per cent, of the men in active service during the war */ere protected by War Risk Insurance, and the average protection was $8,700. While the men were in the service i:, was easy to collect the insurance 1 remiums by deducting the amount <"ue each month from their pay. Now t ie men have to look after the payi.ient of their own payments, and the situation is 'further complicated by reason of the fact that the addresses of hundreds of thousands of them ; re no longer known to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Col. R. G. Cholmely-Jones, Director of the Bureau, does not consider it surprising that so many former service men have not. continued to make regular monthly payments of their War Risk Insurance premiums. He says: "In the first place, very few of them realize that the Government insurance, as well as compensation and allotments and allowances, is paid by the Treasury Department through the Bureau of War Risk Insurance; neither do they realize that after their discharge from active service their checks or mtiney orders for insurance premiums should be made payable to "The Treasurer of the United States," and sent to Premium i\i'tci|ii oecuon, tsureau oj war Ktsk Insurance, Washington, D. C. Again, it will take Sonsiderable time for the former service men to tret on their feet and tret their bearings even though they are healthy and strong. "Many have not yet decided into what business activity they will enter or even where they intend ultimately to live. Lots of boys from the farms will locate in cities and many city boys may move into the country. In the interim isn't it too much to expect that the matter of payment of their life insurance premiums should become paramount in their minds? "They must be given time to adjust themselves to new conditions; but we don't want them to give up their insurance, and under a recent ruling every one of them who has , been insured, and who is in as good health as at the time of his discharge, lias eighteen months from the time of his discharge from the service in which to reinstate his War Risk Insurance. "The payment of only two premiums for reinstatement is now required, one to cover the month of grace during which the man was protected, the other premium for the current month of reinstatement. The man, however, must state in his application that he is in as good health as when J discharged or as he was when the grace period of his insurance expired, whichever is the later date." A GRAND OLD NAME IS MARY John J. O'Brien, a soldier, wrote to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance about his insurance; he gave no serial or certificate numbers, but said he could be identified by the fact that the beneficiary, his wife, was named Mary A. The research workers at the Bureau found in the files the names of 175 men listed as John J. O'Brien, the wives of fifty of whom bore the name of Mary A. O'Brien. Col. F. A. Ruggles, U. S. A., stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, has married Mrs. Ruggles for the second time, the ceremony taking place in wusningion ' nrisunas. 1 nc couple were divorced several years ago. They recently met for the first time in years, fell in love and decided to let by-gones be by-gones and try it over again. PALE CHILDREN NEED GLIDE'S PEPTO-M ANG AN UNNATURAL FOR CIIIIDEN TO BE PALE AND THlN - PALENESS IS SIGN OF THIN, WATERY BLOOD Pepto-Manijan Make* Red Blood Prepared In Liquid And Tablet Form, J Both Possess Identical Medicinal | Qualities It is necessary for boys ami girls to laugh, romp, play and enjoy themselves, for it is at that stage of life that the foundation is laid for future health. Prompt attention should be (riven to the child who seldom laughs, whose physical condition prevents playing like the other children, whose appetite is poor ami tires easily. If the lassitude is due to poor i blood, which is often the case, a | simple, safe and pleasant remedy is | within easy reach. (lude's Pepto- j Mangan is just the tonic for pale, thin children. Glide's Pepto-Maniran contains the very ingredients that increase and enrich the blood, enabling it to supply the entire body with the mrely needed vigor, strength and vitality that makes happy romping children. For the convenience of the public Pepto-Mangan is prepared in tablet is well as liquid form. Both forms possess exactly the same medicinal properties. When you ask the druggist for Pepto-Mangan, look for the name "Gude'a" on the package. If it is not there it ia no^ Pepto-Mangan. adv. 'I 1. Mj' 7. ' * -H ship this bund!?
