nuts, like athor leguminous erops, add nitrogen to the soil on which they are

grown, and therefore form a desirable feature in a proper rotation of crops.

It is tris that other leguminous crops,

such as beans, wight be selected for this purpose, but the great majority of bents suitable for eultivation by natives in the Tropics fetch low prices and will not bear the cost of transport to Europe There has, therefore, been a slowly but stendily increasing production of ground nuts in the tropical parts of the British Empire in recent years.

The imports into the United Kingdom are not separately shown in the trade returns for the United Kingdom, but it is certain that they are quite small.

It is very desirable now that a market should be created in the United Kingdom for Indian and other British grown ground-nuts. It is stated that a quantity of the Indian nuts has recently been imported into Hull for the production of ground-nut oil, but the amount so for disposed of in this way is small in com parison with the supply available in India.

In West Africa and other countries where ground-nuts are grown, the blanch- ed kernels are often used as a vegetable, especially in the form of ground-nut soup, and their use in this way in Europe might be largely extended.

At the present time when foodstuffs of all kinds are rising in price it is desir- able that attention should be directed to new sources of supply. In this connce tion ground-nut kernels, which can be prepared in a great variety of pleasant forms, and are moreover highly nutritious, should be of great importance

The chief methods of using ground-nuts in Europe is as a source of oil and leat in cake, and it is for this purpose that the great bulk of the ground-nuts im ported into Marseilles is employed. The oil, when prepared from fresh puts of good quality, is used as an edible and salad oil, and for cooking and other similar purposes. The inferior qualities
