' j „ The Old Way of Shelling Pes&uU.
- 1‘ Note there is quite * demand for peanut
shelters now and the machinery manufactur
ers are doing a thriving business. We used dif-
' ferent machines in the old days—much less
expensive, but infinitely more precious.
AfleFthe Christmas holidays, in the midst of
the spring plowing, we went over to Jim’s to
shell his peanuts for him—only we didn't call
them peanuts then—the new name hag come
T.ith modem machinery and the copimercializ-
ing of the peanut. It was as good, old-fash
ioned’ground peas that we knew them. And
all farmers were not finicky about having
their groundpeas shelled for planting—they
just dropped ’em in, hull and all, and trusted to
luck. And they usually came up. But Jim
was thorough in his ways, shelled his ground-
peas, soaked his seed com. rolled his cotton
seed in hen house manure, and did all those
other things considered necessary to good
fanning.
We gathered at Jim's at early candle-light.
Mrs. Jim had prepared for us, for the yard was
fresh swept, down to the front gate between
the rows of winter pinks; the floor was spot
less—a normal condition—the furniture moved
back, and a dozen chairs in a half circle in
front of the wide fireplace. In which blazed a
crackling fire of pine logs.
The young folks came in couples—usually,
and in couples they sat just out of range from
the heat of the fire. A pan, or a piggin, or a
amall basket—even a boy's hat, served as a re-
‘ ceptacle for the groundpeas for each couple.
And soon nimble fingers were cracking the
hulls, and the shelled groundpeas dropped
nsually into an apron, spread across the girl’s
Up. . . '
And jokes were cracked about as fast as
groundpea hulls, girlish giggles or boyish
Uughter keeping a musical accompaniment.
Occasionally a song, more often a story, but
the ,majority of the fun was furnished by the
community cut-up—always a bay—and the
tense and embarrassing moments by the settle
ment tease—usually a girh The cut-up
variably wore a red tie, so glaring that one
feared it would ignite his celluloid collar; his
vest lacked two inches of connectfog with the
waistband of his pants, and the latter were
always skin tight and three inches too short.
Add a pink shirt and blue and white home-knit
socks showing above his brogan shoes, and we
had an ensemble to make anybody laugh. His
freckled face was always grinning, and his
contagious good-humor brought the introduct
ory smile before his joke provoked the laugh.
Also we had the fireman whose doty it was to
keep the blaze going. Jim did this, also keeping
. groundpeas on hand.
There was not much opportunity for spi.
ing—the conversation was too general. But
occasionally the low-spoken word, the speak
Ing glance, and the electric tingle when two
fingerd accidentally touched.
Few temptations are stronger than fresh
■helled groundpeas to the appetite of yonth,
and not a few were surreptitiously slipped be
tween boyish lips or ground by pearly teeth,
but as a .rule we were on honor, aad although
the mouth might water, the groundpeas were
safe for planting.
Talk, about .your 3hellers of today. There
vras- never anything to equal the shellers of
forty years ago. Those were not machines—the
■hellers then were the real thing- Many of
the overflow was caught on eager fingapa
licked off, to prevent waste.
They were gone a long time, far there was
much to say, and when at lastkfeey came back,
her cheeks were glowing'and'Bill looked like
hh^had tasted something fgT sweeter than any
compound of man’s makiag.
While they were away, preparations had
been made, and now a big iron-cooking* spider
was set on a trivet brought from the kitchen
fireplace, and under this a bed of coals was
soon glowing. The syrup was poured in. and
before long was foaming up to the top of the
spider. Fast ladling kept it from boiling
over, and occasional tests were made to ascer
tain how far from candy. Then at the right
time, groundpeas, previously broken, were
poured-in. Soon the whole was cooked into
ground pen candy, one of the finest confections
in the world. ,
When. done, the candy, dark brown v...
flight pecks of groundpeas. was poured up into
larded or buttered plates, and set ouk^on the
watershed to cool.for you cannot pull ground-
pea candy. While it was cooling, the real fun
of the night began, for those young people
were, not tired yet.
Back, chairs were set against the wall. The
bed had been taken down already. One of the
boys had a harmonica and'two had jew's-harps
This trio were given seats of honor in the chim
ney .corner, partners were chosen, the music
started up. and to it was added fresh young
voices in song. For hours then the fun w-ent
on. twistification and many varieties of sing
ing plays, groundpea candy serving for re
freshments in the brief intervals of rest. It
was long past midnight when the most prudent,
thinking of the day's ^plowing and the early
start for tomorrow, left, while still four couples,
were keeping time with tripping feet-to the
music and their own voices in: _
'Til make my living on sandy land;
I’ll make my living cn sandy land:
I'll make my living on sandy land;
So ladies fare you, well."
Perhaps you think it cost Jim quite a lot to
get hi& groundpeas shelled? Jim didn t think so.

Last week thd Gazette carried two half page
advertisements in which every farm boy and
girl in Tift county has a personal and vital in
terest. We refer to the offers' of the Central
Grocery Company and the Planters Cotton Oil
Company, wherein both concerns, with the
laudable end in view of stimulating the battle
against the boll weevil, have hung up cash
e prizes aggregating seventy-five dollars for the
* first, second and third best acres of peanuts,
corn and velvet beans.
There are no strings attached to these highly
liberal cash premiums. All that any boy or girl
in the county has to do to be eligible is to have
each acre properly measured, the measure-
menU attested, and Jhe name of the contestant
filed with the offering companies.
The Planters Cotton Oil Company hangs up
a purse of thirty dollars, divided into fifteen-
ten and five dollar prizes, for the first, second
and third best acre of peanuts. The Central
Grocery Company offers fifteen dollars cut up
in seven and a half, five and two and a half
dollar prizes for the best, second best and third
best acre of corn, and fifteen dollars similarly
split up for the first, second and third best acre
of velvet beans. However,- with the view of
further increasing the interest of contestants
the" Central people offer twenty dollars to the
boy or girl raising the best acre of ijpth corn
and velvet beans, fifteen dollars to the second
and ten dollars to the third boy or girl raising
both com and beans.
Every boy'and girl should bear in mind that
independent of the chance to earn a valuable
premium through the magnanimity of the chan
nels named, the output of com. peanuts and vel
vet beans belongs to them, and thi concern*
offering the prizes will purchase all they pro
duce and pay the market price for each com-
modity.
