PEANUTS BRING HIGH PRICE WHEN STACKED Vines Ripen Normally And Give a Bright, Nutritious Hay Equal To Cowpea Vines Instead of small, wrinkled nuts and poor quality hay, as results from sun cured peanuts, stacked peanuts ripen normally and develop heavy nuts of excellent quality along with a bright, nutritious hay equal to cowpea hay for feeding purposes, says Mr. Tabor of the State College of Agriculture. To stack peanuts select a stout pole eight to ten feet high, set firmly in the ground and nail two cross pieces about a foot above the ground. The peanut vines should be gathered be fore they dry out and piled about the pole. The first vines are placed on the cross pieces with the nuts toward the pole and the stack should be one vine thick as measured from the pole. The stacks are made as high as one can conveniently reach and the tops capped with grass to keep the birds from the nuts at the top of the stack. Five to six weeks is generally long enough to allow for curing, though the peanuts will keep longer in the stack if other farm work is pressing. When the peanuts are to be hauled to the picker, the poles are loosened and the Btacks loaded without tearing them up. In unloading grasp the poles below the cross pieces, and shake the entire etack on the picker or thresher. The acreage of peanuts in Georgia has increased according to crop esti mates, 220 per cent this year. Mills in southwest Georgia crushing cotton seed have arranged to take care of all the peanuts offered and It is thought that a considerable amount will be crushed. SECUREHOMEGROWN SEED OATS QUICKLY Owing to the fact that the major portion of the oat crop was winter killed this year and that the supply of seed is very short, farmers are urged by Mr. Childs of the United States Department of Agriculture and the State College of Agriculture to se cure home grown seed oats as soon as possible from those counties in south Georgia, where fair yields were ob tained. Most of the seedsmen and a number of individual farmers have a limited supply on hand at present, and farmers are therefore urged to secure their seed for fall planting as soon as possible, inasmuch as the supply of native grown seed is limited. Many inquiries have been received as to the use of Texas and Oklahoma grown Red Rustproof oats for seeding in Georgia. These oats will not do so well as our native seed, even though they can be purchased cheaper. Most of the oats in that section of the coun try are grown for spring seeding, while we want to seed them in the early fall. If home grown seed can not be obtained, the Texas crop is the next best source, but when seed are secured from that section the buyer should satisfy himself that pure win ter grown Rustproof seed are secured and that they are free from such ob noxious seeds as Johnson grass. According to reports from Texas and Oklahoma the corn crop of those sections is practically a failure, due to recent drought, and it is likely that a large part of the oat crop will be fed unless purchased soon for seed. LEGHORNSPROVE BEST FOR EGG PRODUCTION Because they lay more and eat less Leghorns produce eggs cheaper than hens of the general purpose breeds— Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and Orpingtons—says the United States Department of Agricul ture, and the Georgia State College of Agriculture. Feeding tests have shown that the feed cost of a dozen eggs for one of the Leghorn pens was 7:34 cents in 1913, while the average cost of all the pens of the general-purpose breeds was 10.6 cents. In 1914 the feed cost of a dozen eggs for the same pen of Leghorns was 8.7 cents as against an average cost of 15.1 cents for the sec ond laying year of the general-purpose pens. During their third laying year the cost of a dozen eggs was 8.8 cents compared to 18.6 cents for the general purpose fowls. The total value of eggs per hen over feed cost in the Leghorn pen for three years was $6.84 against $4.30 for the general-purpose hens. The highest egg production ob tained in any of the feeding experi ments up to 1915 was by a pen of Leghorns, which laid 157.6 eggs per hen, at a feed cost of 6.7 cents a dozen. The value per dozen of the eggs produced by the Leghorns was from 1 to 3 cents less each year than the eggs of general-purpose hens. This difference is due to the fact that the general-purpose breeds are better win ter layers than the Leghorns, while the latter give a higher production in the spring and summer. Very few Leghorns become broody, which prob ably materially affects their egg yield as compared with the general-purpose breeds. Better fertility in the eggs, especially with stock confined to the yards. Is more often secured with Leg horns than with the general-purpose or any of the heavier breeds. Citation.
