The Peanut Attention is bttin'g directed to the value of peanuts as a money crop. As in case of all other crops it is necessary, in order to make the crop profitable, to give it more than ordinary consideration, that is, as to the best methods of cul tivation, harvesting and market ing the crop. Primarily,- of course a sandy foam will bo selected in which to grow the crop—corn land being preferred. • I should say that the peanut crop of Georgia, 1910, amounted to quite 2,000,000 bushels. The yield per acre for the whole state was much too small. South Georgia is. the. home of the peanut. It 'will, ..grow anywhereiin the state, ■ but it de lights , t in •Sduth Georgia soil and conditions. In all tne state there are only ninteen counties which, give' atten tion to the crop;v Of these (nam- them in the order of production,) Brooks 1 Thomas Decature, Lowndes and Worth lead. -' The next group, is composed of the counties of Dooly Colquit, Montgomery,Coffee,Pulaski invin and Miller. Then come Sum ter, Mitchell, Early, Schley^ Hous ton, Wilcox and Terrell. The range of production is from 35,000 to 200,000 bushels to a county. The Spanish nut seems to be the m,ost popular. It is prolific and gives a heavy yield of forage. This variety is excellent for man and beast, you must have observed that quite all the peanut venders offer the Spanish variety. That variety is rich in oil,and of excellent flavor Spanish peanuts are very nutritious. Two years agoja gentleman in New York City who was desirous to keep the Lenten season ,in spirit and prac tice, «-as should every good church man, was advised to eat roasted peanuts and drink a glass of sweet milk at lunchon daily. He began with a small quanity Spanish nuts, gradually increasing the quantity until he could eat a pint quite each day. He had been for several years a great sufferer from dyspepsia. After the third day he remarked how much better he felt. His' health steadily improved. At the close of the season he was in perfect health. I recall with delight the fact that my mother was accustomed occa sionally at mid-winter, to make our peanuts what sne called “an im provised chocolate.” She had the nuts roasted until they were dark brown, almost black. Then they were boiled just as one boils coffee. Served hot with butter crackers, the chocolate rich beyond compare, was esteemed bv the entire household as a treat fit for the gods At the Georgia Experiment Station for a period of seventy-nine days, two pens of pigs were fed, respec tively, on corn and soy beans, and corn and new peanut's. The peanut pen showed a gain of 152.5 pounds: the soy bean ■ pen a gain of f 29 .pounds—a difference of 23.5 pounds in favor of the peanuts. The peanut pen' showed a profit of $20.21; the soy.bean pen, a profit of $13.62. Having prepared the area set apart for this crop, run the rows two and'a half feet apart; make deep furrow and check lightly 18-to 20 inches, Apply in furrow air-slaclfcd lime at the- rate of 1,000 pounds per acre. Use bull tongue or small shovel for- the purpose of incorpora tion the lime with the soil. Do this ten days to tw6 -weeks in advance of planting. When ready to filant, that, is immediately after all danger ' of frost is past, apply in furrow with ’horn / 200 pounds of 16 percent acid phosphate followed by 100 pounds -of kaifiit. Incorporate with the soil . then .throw two furrows and knock off with,a board. Ho notishell the nuts but break into two parts. Open the ridge' • with", bull tongue, four inches; deep. At each elteck dropfthree to five seed; cover, with hoe or foot and press the'-earth to the seed. i Keeh free from grass and weeds; cultivate ns you do corp. If nuts are for hogs, begin to use them ns soon as they are about to pass into the dough st-ate; if for mat Icet or for eating in winter, har vest after-first light frost, t The formula given has. assisted in producing oVer 2,000 pounds of nuts, f.ee from pops, per acre. Two bushels of . nuts in pods will plant an acre. I love to talk about bay-making. It is a subject in whjph^.we should all feel and act a deeper interest'. There is money in prime, hay. Nowhere in the country wide can more or better hay be produced than in Georgia and in the cotton states. All that is necessary! to demonstrate this fact more gCherally , an, oon- clusivly, in this state and' in other Southern-states, is to bend out ener gies to the task. And the task is an easy one. Last year at the station 1,000 pounds of high grade fertilizer were applied to a measured (not an es timated) acre, and eightv bushels of actually measured shelled corn produced. That acre was,thoroughly broken and treated ( to 400 pounds of 15 per cent acid phosphate, 200 pounds of sulphate of ammonia and 100 pounds of muriate of'potash,, It waS then seeded to wheat hairy vetch two and a half bushels of vetch. This week the wheat being in the milk and the vetch in sull bloom the crop was harvested. The yield was 5,125 pounds of cured hay—first class hay. ■ By Martin V. Calvin.

As an instance of. magnificent blundering, sung by poets and treasured .in story, no record is ever likely to come up to that of the Light brigade in the Crimean war. But perhaps most remarkable was Kellerman’s charge at Marengo. From daybreak until late afternoon the Austrians had the best of it. Desaix said to Napoleon, “The bat tle is completely lost,” adding: “But it is only 4 o’clock. There is time to gain another one.” A little later Kellerman with 400 mounted sa bers—carefully hidden by a vine yard till the fateful moment arrived —dashed out upon the flank of the Hungarian infantry. The onset was irresistible. Two thousand imperial soldiers surrendered with their gen eral, and the French, inspired to a final effort, wrested a brilliant vic tory—unique, even in Napoleon’s career—from their opponents. Her Ultimatum. “I should like to chat with you awhile, Mrs. Duggan,”, the young lady says who has taken up settle-, ment work. “I want to talk with you about”— “Are ye one, of them uplifters?” Mrs. Duggan interrupts, without taking her hands from the wash- tub. “Well, in a sense, that is my hope.” “Well, I’ve just this to say. I was one day behind with my wasli- in’s last week because of helpful visitin’ committee ladies, an’ from now on them that wants to improve my condition -in life will either have to do the washin’ while I sit an’ listen or pay me 50 cents an hour f’r bearin’ them through with an inter ested an’ inspirin’ expression.”— Judge. Atmospherio Concussion. The man who was hurrying up the stairway leading to the elevated railway station trod on tfie skirt of the middle aged dame who,was pro ceeding more leisurely, whereupon he indulged himself in a bit of-muf fled profanity. . “What did you say, sir ?”"'she de manded.- “I waB—er—trying' to make a noi$e like an apology, ma’anr/’-' “Thanks,” she rejoined with a frosty smile. “Now will you—er— ‘kindly make a noise like an ill man nered’ pefspn falling down p. stair way?” ' .' ...
