V 1 1 THE PEAUUT SECTION It Takes In Portions of Virginia and North Carolina. ENORMOUS CROPS IT GROWS. Nineteen Counties In the Two States Produce en Average of Twelve Mif lien Buehela a Year The Way the Toothsome Goober Grows. Suffolk, Ya., Ii the greatest peanut shipping point In tbe world. More of the delicious goobers nro raised In Nansemond county, of which Suffolk Is the capital, than In any other coun ty on earth. If ono takes the map and draws pencil mark around nineteen counties In southeastern Virginia and northeast ern North Carolina he will put a fence, so to speak, around the greatest pea nut section of the world. Those coun ties are: In Virginia, Nansemond, Nor folk, Islo of Wight Southampton, Sus sex, Greenville and Prlneo George; In North Carolina, rasquotank, Perqul mans, Gates, Hertford, Chowan, Nort'j ampton, Halifax, Edgecombe, Martin, ntt, Bertie and Washington. This territory, which U within a ra dius of 150 miles from Norfolk, pro duces 3,000,000 bags of nuts every year. Every bng contains four bush els, so that 12.000,000 bushels Is tb average annual production. The ship ping centers of this belt are Suffolk, Norfolk, I'etersburg anil Rinlthfleld, all In Virginia. Some pcstiiiN are raised In Tennossee and California, but the crop of those states Is a bagatelle as compared with the production of the Virginia-North Carolina territory. The shelled peanuts are planted about tho middle of May by means of a drill, similar to a corn drill, which drops ono or two kernels In a place about twelve inches apart. The soil that raises the best peanutB Is light, sandy loam. It need not be rich. In fact, n great deal of Virginia land that was considered In the antebellum days too poor to raise anything on Is now producing great quantities of peanuts. Very little cultivation Is required. Teanut lands are usually plowed only once or twice when the plants art small to choke out the grass. The digging time la October, when the peanut leaves turn yellow. A plow Is run under tho peanut vines and throws up the goobers after the fash ion of digging potatoes in tbe north. Poles seven or eight feet tall are stuck into the ground, and the vines ars Stacked around them, with the peanuts next to the pole, so that the leaves and vines form a protection from tb weatlicr. If the weather be bright and cloudless while tho peanuts are curing, so much the better. If rain sets In, the balls become blackened and mildewed, which lessens tho value of the crop. Formerly nil peanuts raised wers picked from the vines by hand. Now machines similar to thrashers separate fully 75 per cent of the peanuts from tho vines. No machine has been In vented, however, that will do this work perfectly. The tendency of ma chines is to crack the bulls, and pea nuts with cracked hulls are likely to spoil. When the peanuts are separated from the vines the' farmer sacks them and hauls them to a factory, and bis work ends there.- Delivered at these so called "factories" his nuts bring 8 to 6 cents a pound (each bushel containing twenty -two pounds) for the best grades and 114 cents to 4 cents a pound for lower grades. The nuts still have on a generous coat of dirt At the "factory" they are dumped first into a drum where the dirt Is re moved and powder is mixed with them to brlghteft and polish them. At the same time two fans separate the light and shriveled nuts from the per fect ones. The nuts are then dumped on slowly revolving tables, where ne- ero women and- girls continue the nroeess of seua rating the good from tho bad. ' When the nuts are cleaned and sepa rated they are carefully sacked and graded according to quality and art then sold at 4 to 0!i cents a pound to Jobbers all over the country. From the Jobbers they find their way to street venders, candy manufacturers and fac tories that make peanut buttor and salted peanuts.

To be woll dressed does not require monev. but careful attention. A young woman falls beir o the old dresses of a wealtnv cousin. "Audit hIwhys makes me cross, ' the rioh cousin says, "for they look a million times better on my oousi when they are old than Itbey do on me when they are new." Whiuh is tbe truth. Tbe explanation la simply that tbe roor relation dresses carefully. Know ins that her clothes are old and will not carry her she can lea them, loo often stria who spend al.eipot money on their outfits fail wholly to be eil dressed because they are careless. Tdgnosa will do more than money to make a girl look smart. To have .smaitness In appearance, neatness is essential. There may bo elennlinees without neatness, for the latter Ii something more. It means care.ul thonglt for all details of dress, having the bal n iol v done, the nails not only Glenn but well trimmed, and tbe heels u: the shoe straight, not run down at one side. lhe advantage that a well dressed that Is to say, a neat and trig looking girl, has over a sloppy one, ia tremen dous. Tbe former is good to look, at she has an air of distinction whiob no money can give. She looks 'clean out," and if she is a business girl tbe appearance aids her there. Ad em clover ia rightly of tbe opinion that girl who is neat and partionlar about hersolt will be so about her work. 1 any event, ne is far more apt to give her a trial than be ia one who oomes to him badly or carelessly costumed A girl of leisure who li well dressed Is frequently spoken of as being pretty Tea, to be Good, i " (jcldenGate TEA CEYLON should be free from artificial coloring it should be pure.
