THE THRONE OF KING COTTON
May Be Occupied For a Time By a Worthy Consort—
Peanut Growing Profitable In Cotton Belt
(Dy W. M. Goodman.)
Better fanning In the South may fol
low in the wake of the boll-weevil.
Adoption of long-tulked-of systems ot
diversified farming, stock-raising and
soil-building may be forced upon the
fanners of the cotton belt us a result
of the incursion of this voracious and
Implacable enemy of King Cotton.
Ami with these changes and Improve
ments, ami the consequent eradication
ot this destructive pest, cotton may
ugutn be enthroned under conditions
which will insure i more prosperous
reign.
Th«* Value of Feanuts.
The boil-weevil is expected to be In
full force next year .u the beat cotton
growing sections of Georgia ana the
Caroliuas, und the forehanded farmer
may profit by engaging in peanut cul
ture oil an extensive scale.
Dr. W. W. Long, Director of rilxteu
Blon, Clemsou Agricultural College ot
South Carolina, says: "The value or
the peanut, both us a money crop aud
for feeding on the farm, renders It es
pecially desirable as a part of the ro
tation wherever conditions suituble to
its development exist."
And such conditions are found in
muny sections of the southeast, and
are especially fuvorable lu tlie coastal
plains regions of North aud Louth
Carolina.
In some parts of the South peanuts
hnvc already supplanted cotton cm
many farms heretofore devoted almost
exclusively to the growing of that sta
ple. It is shown by recent reports from
the boll-weevil territory of Georgia
that the peanut is one of the moi«t
profitable crops that can be grown iu
the place of cotton.
Prol. H. C. Thompson, U. S. Bureau
of Plant Industry, says: “Peanut grow
ing is desirable in the cropping sys
tem iu some parts of the cotton belt.
The commercial value of the crop in
creased from $7,*270,515, in 1800 to
$18,271,0*20 in 1000, and the increase
since 1000 has been even greater than
before that year. These facts d. rfot
represent the full value of the crop,
for they do not take into account thou
sands of acres of peanuts grown for
hog feeding purposes.”
The Peanut as a Nitrogen Gatherer.
"The peanut plant, iu commou with
other legumes, has the power ot col
lecting nitrogen Cro.u ihe air and stor
ing it In uoduies on Its roots," sn*'s
Pmi. Thompson. "For this reusou the
peanut is a very desirable soil Improv
ing pluut. It should be borne in mind,
however, that in order to benefit the
soil tim main portion of the ^roots
should be left iu the ground. 'The
nitrogen gatheriug bacteria are usual
ly present In ubtinoance even where
the soil is planted for the first time."
Importance of Lime in the Soil.
Authorities agree that peunuts re
quire an obunilauce of lime to Insure
proper ripening and the filling of pods
and the testimony of practical peanut
growers bear them out In this state
ment.
Where the soil contains limestone or
it may not be necessary to apply
lut on most sandy soils, and on
land that is In the least sour, from one
to two tons of pulveiived limestone uer
acre should be applied broadcast after
the land is plowed und thoroughly
mixed with the soil by harrow.
Dr. Long says: “It Is necessary to
lime tlic soli for peunuts, unless it is
definitely known that there Is an
abundance iu the soil, in ilils state
lit least 1,000 pounds of burnt Mine or
*2,0lUJ pounds of ground llmesioue
should be used per acre."
Balanced Nations.
Peanuts require phospijute as well
as liiue, but !t shown! he borne In mind
that neither of these elements cau be
omitted under average conditions, and
In the coastal plains regions potasd
should be Included. One element may
help, but It’s the combination that
brings big results. A “balanced ra
tion" Is ns necessary for plants as for
uniiuals.
Market For Peanuts,
Most farmers have u fulr Idea of
the market tor peunuts for roasting
and Cor the manufacture of various
products, such as suited peanuts, pea
nut candy, peanut butter, etc., but less
iu known concerning the importance of
tills product iu the manufacture of
vegetable oils. With the coming Port
age of cotton seed from which to innka
oil, and with an increase in demand,
there seems to he u great field for the
peanut oil industry in the South.
In addilloii, the peanut yields a *alu-
uble hay crop, und when peunuts are
harvested for market hogs muy be
turned into the deld to glean whatever
is left after tVgglng.
It is said that many growers fatten
two hogs ou each acre of peanuts so
harvested. “Few if uny crops will
produce more pounds of pork oa an
acre of lund or produce it at u lower
cost per acra than peanuts," says a
writer ou this subject, **nud In addi
tion to the profit on pork, the crop
producing capacity of the soil will be
materially increased."
The Outlook.
The farmer who knows how to rali.«
peanuts will make mouey, but the
haphazard farmer can never realize
much profit on any crop. There is
much to be learned as to preparation
of soils, plaining, cultivating aud har
vesting, but our state experiment sta
tions will furnish the necessary In
formation.
The peanut crop in some of the
states is short this year and growers
are expecting higher prices. The crop
is above the average in quality and It
Is thought that the higher grades will
reach 12% cents to 14 cents a pound
by Christmas, und peanut oil has ad
vanced 3 cents a pound. This means
a good profit tor the farmer, and us
there is uo danger of flooding the mar
ket, growers may look for large re
turns next year.
The oil mills of the South now pro
vide a market for hundreds of thou
sands tons of peanuts and the average
price during the past three years for
the smHil white Spnuish variety nas
been $100 per ton ; the present price
being aoout £200 per ton.
