OIL W\1S THROUGHOUT TEXAS ARE
. ADVOCATING PLANTING OF PEANUTS
Manager R, P. Thompson of the1
llrnntinm oil mill has closed a con-
tract for ft large quantity of white
Hpanlsh peanuts, to he sold at cost
to th« farmer* Of this county who
win plant peanuts this spring.
Tbo local oil mill advocated the
plant In* of peanuts last year, and
the acreage In this county was con-
siderably Isaransad.
This year the oil uilll will be In
the market for all the peanut* grown
In 4fals flonnty. It 1* estimated that
the aoreuge will be Increased' 100

aa, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama,
Georgia, Mississippi, in fact every-
where that the growing of peanuts
has come to he an Industry. He has
been In close touch with the peanut
industry from its Infancy.
In Comanche county, Texas, Mr,
Hester recently talked to a farmer
who made $ 42 an acre net on his
crop which was grown on land which
the year before had cost him only
132 an acre. The hay paid for the
seed and all the work of planting
cultivating and harvesting, and the
i price received for the nut* was net
vicinity of William 1 Profit.

at which time Mr. Thompson, with
other bn*lne*n men, *111 addreaa the
farmers, submitting government fig-
ure* on the peanut crop, as compared
with cotton and other money crops.
Visit* to farmers throughout the
county have shown that there Is a
disposition on the part of the plant-
era to put In a amall acreage of pea-
nuts on almost every farm, but the
farmers hesitate on account of a
fear that no thrvahers will be avail-
able.
Decker A company, feed manufac-
turers of this city, are equipped to
threeh all the peanuts that are
brought io them. This Arm hau
died a large quantity of nuts last
year.
Mr. Thompson state* that arrange-
ments are being made to Install por-
table thresher*, and a sufficient num-
ber at machine* of this kind will he
on hand by the time the crop Is
ready to harvest.
The peanut la the only crop that

Hester, "that enn be bought for $ 1R
to $25 an acre on which Just as good
a yield of peanut* can be made as
Is made In Comanche or any other
county, it Is remarkable what the
peanut ha* done for Comanche and
Other counties where it has been
grown on a larger scale for several
years, It la an uncommon thing to
find a farmer In the peauut belt who
does not own his own farm. Jly
raising live stock In connection th«
peanut fanner can become the most
Independent Individual on earth. He
can make more money on half the
work than the cotton farmer."
John O. Allen, lecturer from the
state department of agriculture who
recently made u tour of Houthcast
Texas advocated the peanut as the
money crop for the cut-over pine
belt. Mr. Allen says thl* Is one of
the safest crops that the farmers In
this part ot the state can plant, hut
he does not advocate Its growth to
the exclusion of all other crop*
(Irowlng any one crop continuously
on a piece of land will Impoverish
It, Mr, Allen says. He advises crop
rotation.
The Beaumont Cotton Oil Mill
company began crushing peanuts
last week. Thl* company bought
heavily of peanuts last season and
will be In the market this aeason for
all the peanuts that can be produced
In its territory. The mill will also
buy soy beans. In order to necom
modate the farmers who are unable
to get good peanut and soy bean
seed this mill has reserved a supply
of the best white Spanish peanuts
and has secured a limited amount of
soy bean seed which will be *old at

Tacky Party.
For genuine old-fashioned fun.
probably no social uffair ever given
ln Brenham surpassed the "Tacky
Party" with which Prof. Notley en-
tertained the faculty and students ot
the High school Thursday evening.
The attendance was large and every
guest entered heartily Into the spirit
of the affair, many ludicrously tacky
costumes being seen. Miss Jegste
Patterson was awarded the prize for
the tackiest costume and Miss Ilat-
tte EhJert received second prise, the
judges being several cltlienB who
had called to view the rubes.
Each class was called on to per-
form a stunt, and it Is hard to say
which was the funniest. The ninth
srade gave a minstrel arranged by
Robert Dyer, another section of the
ninth grade had a mock orchestra
ted by Miss Frols. the humanuphone
was an absurd musical travesty giv-
en by Miss Vlant and some of her
pupils, while Miss Bolton and the
tenth grade arranged a ridiculous
sell on the faculty. Miss Lovelace
and the seniors gave an exhibit of
creatures whom they said were "a
near approach to human beings," and
who sang and acted iu a strangely
mechanical way.
Kach guest brought along "cats",
and the genial host provided pink
lemonade and ginger cake. This
lolly affair will long be remembered
by the gnests as one ot the most
enjoyable events ever given at the
High school.
