I learn about them the more I
think we aught to plant them for
a money crop. The hay of pea-
nuts will pay for the cost of pro-
duction and the threshing of the
nuts, if it is properly cured as it
is next to alfalfa; and the nuts
will sell on an average of $1.00
per bushel. The past three
years they sold from 85 cents to
Last fall I held several meet-
ings in this county and made an
effort to get sufficient acreage of
the Spanish peanuts planted to
justify a thresher to thresh the
nuts in order that the nuts might
be marketed, but owing to the
present high price of cotton and
that there never has been any ef-
fort made prior to this to pro-
mote the peanut industry I failed $1.10 per bushel and the mills
to succeed in getting the requir- guaranteed to take contracts for
ed acreage planted; still there all the nuts they could get at 70
will be over 300 per cent more cents. This was done to ensure
planted in this county this year the farmer he could safely plant
than any year before, and I am them and get not less than 70
sure that every acre planted in cents, and if they were worth

Spring planting does in most
cases.

Otto Rudloff gave The Enter-
prise a post card he received last
week showing a groop of men
standing around an improvised
bar composed of planks resting
on barrels and boxes. Bottles
of whiskey, glasses and a jug of
water were on top; one man was
drinking and others were pre-
paring to do so. The bartender
looks like a typical tin-horn sport;
most of the others have the ap-
pearance of gaming-house habit-
ues. One of the men, indicated
by a white star marked on the
picture, is Hon. F. M. Stevens of
Liberty county, recently conspic-
uous in a controversy with G. W.
Carroll of Beaumont over wheth-
er prohibition law is generally
violated in Oklahoma.
This picture was taken to show
a general condition. Anyone
familiar with the larger towns
and cities of the dry belt of North
Texas, knows that such dives re-
place the open saloon wherever
any considerable number of peo-
ple want stimulating drinks.
