298 Peanut as Food 
When we consider the broad areas which may be adopted as 
fitting hapitats of the peanut, and the fact that our food supply 
tends toward a wider use of the seeds of plants, we do not hesi- 
tate to venture the suggestion that the peanut, when rightly 
supplemented, will form a staple article of the human dietary. 
Like the soy bean, it needs only to have added suitable inorganic | 
material and the fat-soluble food accessory to make it a com- 
plete food.
