1 w s - 4 No. 102' NEW BERN, CRAVEN COUNTY., N. C, TUESDAY MARCH, 21, 1911 FIRST SECTION 33rd. YEAR 1W DIG FUTURE FOR PEAI1UT Culture as Shown By Department of Agriculture for This r Washington, D.-C March 16-The possibilities for the profitable . cultiva tion of the peanut in the Southern States, especially lo Ahe- cotton bojl weevil belt, Where this insect has ren dered it almost impossible to, grow cot . ton with success, .are pointed out in a bulletin on "The Peanut," j ist issue by the Department.br Agriculture. In fact, it Is shown that (he peanut may be grown in the boll wee vil districts in , the South with much more profit than the white staple.' When the value Of the commercial peanut crop of the United States for -1908 was estimated at $12.000,0u0, the wonder is expressed that this article of food is not more g en ermlly cultivated, particularly in the South and-Southwest,.': where it can be grown at great proflt';?:-''-';-'.'.: The demand or the peanut as an ar ticle of food is constantly growing. -: In this connection, the intei eating fact is developed that this, country is a large purchaser of peanut oil from abi 6rl, while there are thousands of acrej of waste lands in the Souih capable of ' producing enough peanut to keep the cotton -s ted oil- mills' running and fur Dish more than enough: oil for home consumption. That the cultivation of the peanut is , a profitable industry may be seen from the figures of the bulletin. An acre i f first-class peanuts, salculatinjr the yield at a. ton of vines,, is worth from S8 to : $10, and 60 bushels of peas,! worth $40 to 46(1, will give an income of 4S to $70. The cost of growing an acre of peanuts is variously estimated at $25, thus showing a net return of $36 to $45. Thin is above the average for the eioji at now growing in (he United Statis, it is stated, .but decidedly lower than may . be expected under favorable conditions and proper cultural methods. , ' ,il rmniiin lIIWIIIu CIIO D G 10 Mexieo May Cause Serious Conopli cations.
