Better Farming in the South PEANUTS AS A CASH CROP To make money well an of the -0: nianufpoturer or T ' the merchant |j|g • Hr ;tl profit Is 1 V l . the difference be fei# tween the mar ket value of a < . , comn odily over its cost of pro- ____£ due!ion. A crop that has not a I), it OSBORNE “Cash Surrender Vulos" (in an interrupted market demand) cannot be considered as a crop grown for Real Profit, although • a indirect pit fit may result in reduc ing the cost of a Money Crop. Money Crop Gives Real Profit It is the Money Crop that gives leal profit to the farm :.:id a Money Crop can only be a crop of a known market value immediately convertible into money in any town at any time. The 1 •vbieni of supplying the South e. 1 ininier with a cash market f. r other crop,; that would yield as much or more profit than he derives from the coition crop, has engaged the at tention f the farmer and iris friends, and wuh th“ assistance of the 801 l Weevil, they have found a solution of the problem in Peanut ;. The Peanut The P°anut crop offers wonderful opportunities. Ii can be grown over the entire South with profit. it reaches its perfection in growlli an ! yield . n v, ell drained, gray, sandy ira soils such as exist in the Coastal Plains ?.l:ng the Atlantic Seaboard, which territory is now either occupied or is being rapidly encroached upon by the 801 l Weevil. There is a constant demand at a “Cash Surrender Value” from a mar ket that would be difficult to glut, with •re peanut, for the reason that there are five avenues of profit. Five Aveeues of Profit First: Pr p.P-ssivi* oii mills through out the South are eager buyers of the P* until and offer a spot cash mar I ; a.r very roniuneraMvo prices. The oil i" in f eai demand. Second: Th • nut' and vines are a ••? cn.’U.i feed for cattle, producing a quick grow !.. of firm and tender meat. A profit in the sales *of cattle thus i-'u and irTtcued is a certainly. Third: The best quality of peanuts ilr.d a i> ady sale nr. i;-> price . to Ur' r.t.nnf: ; n. .rr of candy, of pmuiut but ter and o her c’ n feet ion-.. Fourth: Peanut cake (from tl.o oil mills), fod to hogs, make a vigor ous growth and gain in weight an’ when properly “finished oft” with corn, gives a Ann me p w ith th* l fat containing a proper proportion of stearine for making g od firm lard. Feeding the whole nut to the hog Is a mistake for two -reasons: First, the value or profit from the oil is lost, and second, the oil of the nut stives an excess of oil over corin' Farmers Union To Meet.

We want the opinion of our members and farmers on this and other questions and you are here b called to meet on the above date at the above place at 10 a. m.

Fifth: The Peanut, being a legunm, is a soil builder and adds nitrogen ft tb*> soil and works In splendidly in a rotation with cotton or corn, both of which are voracious feeders on nitro gen and requirdig clean culture, rap idly deplete the soil of nitrates. Proper Fertilization Because it is a legume, many peo ple believe that it require. l ! no fertili zers and in this they are badly mis taken. Nitrogen gathering nodules do not begin to form on the roots of the plant until the nut is twe-thirds matured and if through lack of prop er nourishment, the plant is allowed to languish until this stage is reach ed, the crop will he greatly curtailed and profits lost. The plant requires a sufficient amount of nitrogen from a quick acting source to carry it to the nodule form ing period while the presence in suffi cient quantities of phosphoric acid and potash is es. ntial , uring the growth and maturity of the plant. An application of a fertiliser con taining 12 per cert available phos phoric acid, 1 1-2 to 2 per cent am monia and 2 per cent potash, applied at the rate of from 400 to 600 pounds per acre, will make a crop of both nuts and hay sufficient to return the cost of the fertilizer and leave a hand some profit while an unfertilized crop will barely return cost of production. The Profit Value The profit value of an acre of well cultivated and fertilized peanuts is equal to the profit value of an acre of, cotton producing two-ihirds of a bale to the acre. The following tabulated cost and value estimated by Dr. J. N. Harper, clearly proves this point: Comparative Ca t Per Acre of Cotton and Peanuts Cotton Peanuts Cost Per Acre Cost $ 1.50 Rfetiking Lund $ 1 >0 Harrowing band *25 .50 Hauling Fertilizers .50 .25 Laving fT Land .25 .25 Applying Fertilizer -25 .50 Bedding on Fertilizer .50 .25 Harrowing before Planting .25 | .75 Seed 2.00 , 8.00 Fertilm rs 8-00 ! .25 Plan tin : .25 | 5.50 Cultivation 2.50 5.
