Theic is au orj inizalion in Virginia and Xurth Carulina called the American Peanut Union, the last meeting of which was held at Tarboro on the -I'll instant. Its objects are eoperation and mutual protection against trusts, rinu's and spec ulators. Lust season it saved its mem bers several thousand dollars on the pur chas of 300,000 sacks. It owns and op erates several factories, Below arc some facts in regard to this industry gathered from Farm and Home: In consequence of low prices there has been a reduction of 10 per cent, in the area planted to peanuts in Virginia, where the annual crop is about 3.000.000 bushels. In North Carolina, where the last crop was 1,000,000 bushels, farmers have increased their acreage by 10 per cent., owing to the low price of cotton. The stand, however, being poor iu both States many farmers plowed up their peanuts and planted corn and other crops which will redtiee the general average. Owing to excessive rain and poor culti vation, the crop is grassy and small. The present price for Virginia stock is 21 to 2 J cents per pound, und for North Carolina a shade, less, from 2 to 2! cents. Factory-cleaned stock sells in wholesale lots at 3 to 41 cents per pound iu the Northern and Western cities. Iu Tennessee the peanut crop of '90 was fCjO.OOO bushels, worth 8590,000 about oue-fourili of the total production of the United States in that year. The crop iu Tennessee has varied between 200,000 and 600,000 bushels during the last 20 years. Duriug the soa-ion of 18SG-90 peanuts were higher than since '84, the av erage price being (ij can s per pound, which resulted iu an increased area in '90. It costs 40 cents per bushel to grow peanuts, the cost varying more or less according to locality. The average p ice paid iu Cincinnati in 1888-30, a fair season, was 5.6 cents per pound or 81.29 per bushel, which means 95 cents to SI. 05 to the producer. The average crop is from 40 to GO bushels per acre, and some times SO bushels, which is equal to "2 to 840 per acre on au average crop. The Peanut Union of Virginia is anx ious to establish a system of exchange with the fanners of the North and West, receiving flour, hay and other products in return for their peanuts. Thisi-ystem should work to the advantage of each section, and is worthy the attention of grangers and all other farmers' organiza tions. IX LOVE WITH MOTHEIt. Of all the love affairs iu the world none can surpass the love of a big boy for his mother. It is pure and noble, honorable its the highest degree to both. I do not mean merely a dutiful affec tion. I mean a love that makes a boy gallant and courteous to his mother, say ing to everybody plainly that he is fairly iu love with her. Next to the love of a husband, nothing so crowns a woman's life with honor as this second love, thi devotion ot a son to her. 1 uever yet knew boy to turn out badly who began by falling in love with his mother. Any man may full in love with a fresh-faced girl, and the man who is gdlaut with the gill may eiuelly neglect his worn am: Weary wife but the buy who it!in love- of his mother iu her middle age is a true knight, who will love his wife as much in her sereleavcd autumn as he did iu daisied spring time.
