Twelve million dollars is a conserv-
ative estimate of the value of the
Texas peanut crop for 1916. according
to investigators of the agricultural
committee of the Texas Bankers' As
sociatiun. conducting the ’Safe E'arm-

paign,” under the direction of Wil-
liam G. Breg of Dallas.

j peanuts for the season just closing
i Statistics show the average produc-
tion per acre for th.; State for sev-
i oral years is approximately 40 bush-
els. while the peanut hay has aver-
aged slightly more than one-third of
ton to the acre.
Early in the season the price of
nuts was slightly less than $1 a bush-
el, but the price is now well about
the $1 mark, with every indication
of remaining high. Peanut hay
brings more than $15 per ton. On
this basts the income from an acre of
peanuts is at least $15; making lib-
eral allowance for the cost of labor
ami interest on investment, it should
cost about $15 to grow and harvest
a crop. Hence the net profit should
lie about $30 on onq acre of peanuts.
Much of (he cotton and seed raised
for this year was sold long before
present prices were reached, and on
the average producers have received
less than 16 cents for the lint ami |
$45 for the seed. But on that, basis I
the return for a bale of cotton should !
be $102.50. At a third of a halo to
the acre, which is actually niora
than is produced on the average, the
gross receipts would be $34.16 per
acie.
Call it $35, or $10 less than the in-
?i come from peanuts. Mr. Ousley of

Washington, D C., November 27.
To determine as far as possible the
exact dollars and cents effect on
county of the
road: .
lie roads and rural engineering of the
U. S. department of agriculture made j
economic aurveyg in eight counties I
in each of the years from 1910 to 1915,
inclusive.
This study of the increase in the
values of farm lands in the eight coun-
ties reveal# the rather interesting
fact that following the improvement
<>f the mam market roads the increase
in the selling price of tillable farm
lands served by the roads has amount-
ed to from one to throe times the
total cost of the improvenients, The
inertase in values in those instances
which were recorded ranged from 63
per cent to 80 per cent in Spotsyl-
vania County, Va.; from 68 to 194 in
Dinwiddle County, Va.; 70 to 80 in
25 to 100 in Wise I
114 in E’ranklln
Y.; 50 to 100 in Dallas
Coimtv, Ala.; 25 to 50 in Lauderdale
County. Miss., and from 50 to 100 in
Manatee County. Fla. The estimates
of increase were based for the most
part upon the territory within a dis-
tance of one mile on each side of the
roads improved.
