AND NOW IT'S PEANUTS THAT GROW IN OREGON Oregon cnt!iuM,iM.-i Hometlmcs claim to be able to raise almost everything that grows In the Heaver state, ami their claims seem extrava gant some times. Hut from time to time another product Is added to those that are proved to grow here, until It seems almost as if there scarcely were a limit to the range of Oregon's possible products. The latest Is peanuts. The last issue of the Hlllsboro Independent contains the following: ' F. A. Haines brought to t he I n ilepemlent o(lic this week a quantity of peanuts grown on his property on Washington street. They were planted by him a year ago and for got ten, a ml It was only by accident that he ran onto them. Those brought to the ollice are still at tached to the roots. They are of average size and prove that with a little attention the goobers call be successfully grown here. While It Is generally believed a sandy soil Is re quired Mr, Haines sa.s these were planted in a heavy black loam, D. H. 1 lea soner exhibited peanuts grown on his place at tin- last street fair, and with Mr. Haines' experience it would appear that Washington county can cease Importation of the toothsome nuts whenever somebody gets ready to start In the business."
