To Try and Orow Peanuts.
Is tbe climste and soil of tbs Rogne

log of peanuts? J, C. McFsrland,
of Santa Ana, California, says that
It la and he la preparing to bar k bla
assertions by pnrobasirg land in tbe

aoresge to peanuts. Mr. McFarlaad
baa been raising peanuts for a num
ber of years nsar Santa Ana, wbloh
Is famtd In Sonthern California as
splendid peanut country, and is
therefore In a poaition to know the
conditions in whlcb tbe plants will
thrive. And thus another pursuit
Is adaed to tbe dlveislfled industries
of the Rogue River Valley,
'Now I may be 'nrtty' on the
subject of peanuts, ".said Mr. MoFar
land to a representative of Tbe Mall,
but believe tbat I can raise
abundanoe of peannts lu this valley.
On tbe other side of Talent I bave
found a atrip of ground which re
sembles tbe soil about Santa Ana
upon whioh some of our finest nuts
are raised. I Intend to experiment
this year and if things turn out as
I fael tbey will I snail plant a oonsid
arable acreage. "
Mr. MoFarland was ssked If he did
not tbink larger returns could not
be obtained from fruit. He replied
"Why, I intend to plant fruit. But
do not propose to wait aeveral years
to get returns from my Inveetment
In tbe land. Between tbe rows of
fruit trees several rows of pcanuta
oan be planted and they will pay
big mcney to tbe grower.
'Tea, I said money, 1 bave raised
peannUf foi a number of years In
