7E PEANUT CLUB IN
EVERY COUNTY IN TEXAS.
As the people of Texas are be-
ginning to look upon the peanut
crop as one of the staple, profit-
able crops of Texas, The Texas
Peanut Works believes that the
time has arrived for the organi-
zation, in the various counties of
the State, of Peanut Clubs. The
clubs are organized for the pur-
pose of securing and giving out
information as to the advantage
to the farmer from the growing
of peanuts. To secure an increase
in acreage of peanuts, not only
for the purpose of balancing and
diversifying the crop yield of
every farm, but for the further
purpose of contributing to the
necessities of the government by
raising a feed crop that will make
each farm in itself independent.
To provide facilities for the dis-
position of such surplus crop as
may be raised in each county. To
create a staple market for pea-
nuts and all the by-products,
which are as follows: Peanut
Hour, peanut cake and meal, pea-
nut cooking-oil, salad oil, lard
compound, chicken feed, pigoon
feed, roasted peanuts, salted
peanuts, peanut butter, hog feed,
fertilizer, soap and dairy feeds.
To secure as one of the main
purposes of the club, a warehouse
which The Texas Peanuts Works
proposes to build in each section
jof the State, where peanuts are
grown in sufficient quantities,
and where the interests of The
Texas Peanut Works authorize
the building of a warehouse.
For the purpose of assisting in
the organization and promoting
the interest of each club.
We want all of our readers to
go over this carefully and notify
this office as to what you think
about sa»e, and if it meets with
pour approval we will invite the
officers of the Texas Peanut
•Works to meet with us and hear
what they have to say.
