Peanut Crop
v Too Extensive
Da 11 at, June IS Wi Are
American farmers growing too
many peanuts?
Yea, aaya Bill Seals, Presi
dent of tht National Peanut As
sociation, "they have a certain
market the Federal govern
ment." Seals, who lives In
Washington, D. C, was here for
the Southwestern Pesnut Shelt
ers association's annual conven
tion. He said the Federal govern
ment guarantees the peanut
growers $211 to $238 a ton. Pea
nut shelters or manufacturers
must meet that price or the farm
er will sell to the government.
Seals said.
Seals said a "certain market"
with the government had en
couraged farmers to Increase
production.
Last year, an estimated two
million tons of peanuts were
grown in the country. This year,
the government has ordered the
growers to reduce their acreage
by 20 per cent.
"Farmers must reduce their
acreage to be eligible for gov
ernment - supported prices, but
that will not necessarily reduce
the number of tons grown,"
Seals said.
( He said farmers who scattered
- peanut seeds loosely in the past,
may plant more carefully: that
careful growing can produce a
larger yield per acre.

chairman of the senate judiciary subcommittee, waged a duel
of insults during an open hearing of the subcommittee in Wa
shington. Sen. Eastland called Baldwin a "S O B." Baldwin
called the senator a "narrow-minded bigot." Baldwin's re
fusal to state whether he is a communist kicked off the duel.
The subcommittee is holding hearings on the Mundt-Nixon

Vesta Is Now Making One

Nowadays almost any eighth grader can readily call the roll
of the nine larger planets. In order of diameter downward they
are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Pluto (proDaDly),
Venus, Mars and Mercury.
But who recognizes the names of the next four even should
they be recited to him? As a- 1 ;

pinkish color to its light. There
seems also to be a slight varia

and village the temples of Vesta
maintained small, continuous
fires from which any citizen's

these temples were known as
vestal virgins.
refresher, here they are: Ceres,
Pallas, Vesta and Juno.
The largest of the "big nine"
has a diameter of 87,000 miles;
the smallest, 3,100 miles. The
"secondary four" boast diamet
ers of 480, 3uu, zu ana ia
miles. All four revolve in the
space between the orbits of Mars
and Jupiter, and were discovered
in the years from 1801 to 1807.
This week Vesta makes one
of its closer approaches to the
earth, a so-called opposition.
This indicates that Vesta and our
world are on the same side of
the sun and that since we are
between them, we see old Sol
and this little planet in opposite
directions.
Of the quartet of minor planets
just mentioned, Vesta is the only
one that ever becomes faintly
visible to the unaided eye. This
seems surprising since two
others excel it in size, Ceres con-
