The Great Peanut Crop
We are told that the value of
i the peanut crop for 1908 was
1 $12,000.00. This is an interest-
(ing statement in itself, by rea-
- son of the modesty of the peanut.
We assume, naturally, that most
of this value is munched out of
existence at the circus and the
ball game. Not exactly, because^
of the fact that there are bv-
produc's in the peanut crop al-
most as valuable as the nut itself
considered as an edible, for ex-
ample, there is peanut butter
