The Taylor County (Ga.) News, Friday, Auqusf 31, 1962 Tips from Extension Vernon R. Reddish County Agent Growers sometimes begin digging peanuts because they see their neighbors start digging. Beware of this guide always and particularly this year in Georgia, due to the wide variation in planting dates across the belt. There are few, if any, au thorities who profess to know a geat deal about "when to dig” peanuts. Approximate number of days to maturity can be used as a guide, although this will vary considerably from yeat to year and field to field. (1) Dixie Spanish, Spanette, Argentine and small Spanish- 120 days. (2) Virginia Bunch 67 and Early Runner - 130-135 days. (3) Most large-seeded Vir ginia varieties - 135 days. (4) Dixie Runner - 145 days. (5) S. E. Runners -150days. Another guide is to pick off all the pods from several plants about over the field.
