AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE The Cultivation of Peanuts The peanut has come to be one of ■ our most important crops. It Is des- I fined to engage a larger share of ■ our attention in the immediate fu ! ture. s.'his is due to the fact that ■ the boll weevil has forced diversifl - cation upon us and because of the wide adaptability of the peanut for growth and ultilization on a profit able basis in all that great section of the south comprised in the coastal plain area. Presumably the peanut crop of the country this year is worth $250,000,000. It is difficult to say just what its actual value may be, but I believe the figures pre sented would be regarded as con servative. There has been a tremen dous increase in the area devoted to this crop in the southeastern states in recent years not only for the rea sons assigned above but on account of our sudden realization, of the val ue this crop possesses for the feed ing and finishing off of live stock as a source of hay, and the producer of an unrivaled vegetable oil for hu man conumption. Undoubtedly pea nuts are now more extensively pur chased and used as food for human beings than in former years. This also is due to our better understand ing and appreciation of dietetics. The peanut is also being more extensive ly used in the manufacture of can dies, and in the form of peanut but ter and peanut meal. New uses are being found for this crop almost daily. It also has the advantage of being a hardy and persistent grow er and not subject to ready injury by diseases or insect pests* It is also easy to establish and cultivate and is admirably suited to the type of agriculture which we practice. It can be grown in combination with either corn or cotton, and this is naturally a great advantage. Best of all, hogs will gather and harvest the crop for themselves at a profit to the owner. The peanut is also a soil builder and is adapted for growth on types of soil on which many other crops could not be grown successfully. A brief review of some of the more salient facts in association with the cultivation of this crop,, therefore, seems to be in order at this time. The peanut requires ’ a long season in which to mature. Spanish peanuts need under favor able conditions 110 to 120 days. The larger podded varieties should have four to five months. The crop will grow in any of the territory south of the Ohio, but does best in the sandy lahds of the coastal plain area. The peanut can be grown with a large measure of success in the dry climate of western Oklahoma and Texas. While this crop can be grown on a wide variety of soils, it does best on a well-drained, sandy or loamy type of land. Large yields may be produced on clay soils, but the nuts will be discolored and this reduces their market value. On heavy soils the peanuts do not peg down as readily as on lighter lands, and this tends to minimize the yield which might otherwise be secured. Lands intended for this crop should either contain plentiful supplies of lime or be made rich Avith the same through applications pf raw crushed rock which hajs been ground into a fine condition. The amount of lime to apply will vary with the type of Sisoline-Kerosens 3to 30 H-P. jgU) »>« IGNITION crde i^ for latest Direct Factory Prices on ell styles ■ WITTE—wi t h Bosch Standard lIJ Magneto —High Tension-tha fe 'l-fiCnl/ only Ignition for Kerosene, 115 TO KOObUYINd DIRECT.

One thousand pounds per acre, I believe, is the minimum amount to apply. Under most conditions 1 would say use 2,000 pounds. The land should be broken, in cjy opin ion, and the linte then scattered over the surface of the ground and work ed in with a harrow- Later on the ground may be laid off according to the ytpe of cultivation followed and such additional fertilizer, in the form of phosphoric acid and potash, used under the drill row as may be considered essential. Our experience Indicates that 300 pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds say >f a recognized carrier of potash would not be too much to use. The peanut, of course, is a native of tropical America and is an an nual belonging to the pea family. The botanical name is Arachis hy pogea. A peculiarity of this plant is that it matures its fruit under ground. The flowers are born in the axils of the leaves on stems that turn downward and elongate after the flowers are fertilized. These “pegs” then enter the soil where the nuts develop. The fruit after all is a ripened pod containing edible seeds like the pea or bean. There are two distinct types of peanuts, the upright form and the runner type. There are, of course, large podded and small podded varieties. The bunch or upright type is less difficult to cultivate and dig, but the runner type will as a rule make th largest yield. Os the large podded varieties the Virginia bunch and Virginia runner are well known. These are grown primarily to be sold by street venders for edible purposes, or placed on the market .as roasted or salted peanuts. The Spanish variety is small podded and is very extensively grown In what may be termed the new pea nut territory. It is very valuable for forage because of its heavy growth of vines, and the nuts also rank high for the production of oil. Some producers harvesting this crop sell the beet grade of nuts to oil mills and reserve the vines and poorly filled pods for feeding at home. This variety is hardy, a fine drouth reister, and very well adapted for growth in any section where the crop is to be grazed down by hogs. Hence it is a favored va riety in the southeastern states. Affiong other varieties which are grown to some extent is the Valencia, which is late maturing, and some what similar to the Spanish variety in its habits of growth. It is a more desirable variety to cultivate for edible purposes than the Spanish variety. Other varieties which are not so widely planted are the North Carolina, a runner type, and the Ten nesee red, a small podded variety somewhat similar to the Spanish, with the exception that the nuts are red in color. It is not as good a sell er on the market as the Spanish va riety. One undertaking the cultivation of peanuts should secure good seed. To this end they should be selected from vigorous, well matured plants which make relatively large yields. The proper curing and storing through the winter so as to preserve the via bility of the seed is an important matter. Securing an even stand with this crop is just as important as with corn or cotton. Undoubtedly the peanut can be selected so as to improve its yield and quality, as well as for other purposes. As a rule the large podded va rieties are hulled before planting, but the small podded‘varieties are plant ed in the pod. It is a good practice to soak the unshelled nuts from 12 to 24 hours before planting, as this hastens germination. Shelled seed should not be soaked before planting. It will take about two bushels of unhulled seed to plant an acre, whereas one-half bushel of the hull ed nuts will be sufficient for the same purpose. Hand hulling Is, of course, a very slow business, and small hullers are now manufactured for preparing the seed for planting. Mice and gophers may be kept away where they are bad by treat ing the unshelled seed with an emul sion of soap and water mixed with kerosene. Os course, the hulled seed cannot be treated in this manner. The land should be plowed for this crop. Fall plowing is preferable, bqt if this has not been done turn the land in the spring as early as possible. Breaking the land to a considerable depth is good practice, because this gives the peanuts a larger and deeper area of soil through which to range. arious methods of planting have been fol lowed. Since the peanuts are in clined to sprout slowly it is not good practice to plant while the ground is still cold. A good plant to follow is to seed peanuts comewhat later than corn or cotton. Os course, relatively late planting may be fol lowed with Spanish peanuts in the Coastal plain area. Level planting is the best practice for this section. Shallow furrows should be made with a small shovel plow. The pea nuts may then be dropped In the furrow by hand or with the planter. Soils that are not well drained may of course be ridged for planting. The distance apart will vary. With the runner varieties 3.5 feet is a good distance. With the Spanish, rows 30 to 36 inches apart will answer Very week Peanuts should be culti vated with shallow surface-working implements and rather frequently after they get out of the ground, plowing should be continued until the vines begin to peg or form pods. The type of cultivators used for for corn or cotton may be adjusted to suit ■ the peanut crop satisfactor ily. The later cultivation should be designed to throw some earth to wards the plants. It is very im portant that the soil be kept soft and well supplied with moisture so as to enable the peanuts to peg down more readily. Various methods of harvesting may be followed. As the peanut crop does not ripen evenly it requires good judgment to determine just when digging should begin. The common method of practice is to plow the vines out with a turning plow and then gather the peanuts together with forks, shake them free from the soil and pile them in small bunches around a stake set firmly in the ground. Two-horse diggers hav ing a “middle buster” which runs with uniform depth between the pea nut« are also used to some extent. Potato diggers may also be used, but they wear out rapidly in the sandy soils in which peanuts are generally grown. The lifting of the vines and shaking the soil from the peanuts may be accomplished with a side de livery rake. Peanuts should be stacked a few hours after digging. Owing to the thick, heavy nature of the peanut vine its stems and pods cure up slow ly and are likely to mildew if put up in large or poorly ventilated shocks. The poles for the peanut stacks should be about 4 inches in diameter and 7 to 8 feet long, sharp ened at both ends and driven into the ground 12 to 18 inches. The holes may be made with a crowbar. Two strips of lath say 18 Inches long should be nailed to each pole at a height.of 8 inches above the ground to prevent the peanuts from coming directly in contact with the soil. This is a very important matter in order to secure uniform and satisfac tory curing of the vines and also the proper curing and preservation of the peanuts under conditions which will insure their bringing the best price on the market. Pea uts, of course, can be picked and threshed satisfactorily by ma chinery. One of these is a machine especially manufactured for the purpose and the other is a gra,in separator which if properly adjust ed as to speed of the cylinder may be used satisfactorily for threshing Spanish peanuts and other small podded varieties. There are, of course, other types of machinery whicho an be used satisfactorily. Peanuts should only be threshed when dry, and great care should be taken to gather and clean them prop erly. The yields will vary from 35 to 100 bushels per acre. Even 300 bushel yields are on record. Span ish peanuts weigh about 30 pounds per bushel, while the larger varieties are lighter. The cost of production for commercial purposes varies any where from S2O to ?50 per acre. At present prices for peanuts they can, therefore, be grown to good ad vantage and with profit. CUI.TIVATIN& WHEAT IN the SPRING hJL B- G ” , Gni »esville, Ga„ writes; I have some wheat that was sown the Sth of November following corn and peas.

We feel quite certain that you would nnd an application of from fifty to one hundred pounds of this mate rial desirable and profitable. The nitrate of sola should be put on be tween now and the fifteenth of March. It is best to select a fairly dry spell wnen the weather is clear and blight.

We do not think rolling the land would be of any advantage. About the only culti vation which can ever be given a fall sown cereal in the spring of the year is harrowing it. Unless the season Is very dry •or the ground s very weedy, we do not think th!> practice is likely to advantage the THE MARKET value of good MANURE A " Elb erton, Ga.. writes: I am n,- com P° Bt manure and bedding ma nLr t n f n o, “n tawp Gordon at tour dollars right*- D ° }OU think thls price 18 all This material contains ordinarily from nine to twelve pounds of ni trogen, six to nine pounds of phos phoric acid and nine to twelve pounds of potash. The plant food value of these ingredients at the present price would make the ma nure from four to six dollars a ton as a carrier of the three essential elements mentioned above. While the plant food of ya’d manure is invaluable to the farmer, this is probably the smallest benefit to be derived from the use of material of this character. Yard manure un doubtedly improves the mechanical condition of the land more in pro portion than any other substance we can add to it. This is due to th« fermenrations t promotes in the soil by reason of the bacterial life with which it is infested. Under exist ing circumstances and at present prices for commercial plant food, I would not hes'tate to use yard ma nure at the figures indicated. I pre sume, of course, that this material is of good quality and has not been ex posed to heavy, washing rains. The sooner you can apply tc the land aft er purchasing, the better it will be Farmers Should Cover Crops on Grain, Red Clover and Others During the past several years the writer has been impressed with the relatively great area of stubble land lying idle after the removal of a grain crop—land in enforced idle ness from June throughout the most favorable part of the growing season. Almost universally the farm er when questioned as to this con dition has answered that he had in tended to break the stubble land and sow it to peas, but because of a too wet or too dry season imme diately following the cutting of the grain, or because of being too busy with early planted cultivated crops, it was impossible to carry out these plans. Throughout the months of May, June and July, just when our grain must be harvested there is a mul tiplicity of crops which must be tended and cultivated, so that ex tra plowing at this time is neglect ed. Because of the difficulty of the task during extreme hot weather when such work is exceptionally hard on both mules and man, it is the plowing of the grain stubble to fit the land for a succeeding crop, that is left undone. Before tractor days the writer had almost yearly this experience, and longed for a mechanical plowing outfit that the mules might be relieved of the ardu ous work of turning land during ex cessive hot spells of weather, and it seems that many farmers are now practically in the same predica ment. And this work cannot be neg lected if we plan to follow our grains with cowpeas or soybeans. During the months of October and February there is no bunching of labor and time can better be spared from other crops, so that any crop which can be planted during these months either with or on the grain, will not only insure the use of the land at profitable crop production, continuing after the grain is re moved, but will enable one to use labor to the best advantage. Three crops which are adaptable to this use are, Melilotus, Lespede za, and Red clover, and all of these crops are adaptable to the va rious soil provinces of our state. For some reason Lespedeza, while it will grow on the lime lands of ®ur Central Prairie region, never LOUISIANA OPENS BIG ATTACK ON PINK BOLL WORM OF COTTON Louisiana is going into the fight for the eradication of the pink boll worm in a manner that has the thorough approval of officials of the United States department of agri culture who attended the conference on the pink boll worm situation in New Orleans March 5. This conference, called by the Lou isiana division of the American Cot ton association, went on record as favoring the prohibition of cotton planting in infested areas for such for covering your manures with soil as promptly as possible is always good practice. E. L. G., Garfield, Ga. .writes: What will be the best fertilizer and how much per acre for Spanish peanuts? I have red pebble land with a clay subsoil. How many peanuts will it take to plant an acre? The peanut is a legume and should as a rule not require a fertiliser con taining any nitrogen. This should certainly be true in the case of red pebbly land such as you describe, which is presumably what is known technically as the Tifton sandy loam and constitutes one of the best soils in the southern part of the state. On land of this' character we would apl ply from 100 to 200 pounds of crush ed raw lime rock per acre before planting the peanuts. This should be put on the land after the ground has been plowed and harrowed and prepared for planting. Allow it stand for a few days after being harrowed in. FertiTze your peanuts at the time of planting say with 300 pounds of acid phosphate, or some other car rier which contains an equivalent amount of available plant food. It is desirable under ordinary circum stances, to use some potash as well. Potash, however, will presumably be rather scarce this year and high in price, but we think an application of some carrier of this element that will provide your land with 15 to 25 pounds of available potash per acre will be desirable. About two bushels of un-hulled seed, or one-half bushel of hulled peanuts is required to plant an acre of land. SELECTING COTTON FOB BOT TOM LAND H. M. W., Waycross, Ga., writes: I wish to know which is the best kind of cotton to plant on low, flat land, and would also like for you to tell me the best method of planting and cultivating the same. In your section of the state cotton Is more likely to be infected with the wilt disease than in some other parts of Georgia. On that account we would be disposed to advise your planting the land described to a type of cotton as resistant to this diseas as you can secure. There is no strain of cottoft, of course, wholly resistant to the wilt disease, but there are some strains which can be grown in the presence of this fungus and will make a better yield than others. Among the better known of these varieties are the Covington Toole, Petty’s Toole, Council Toole and Lewis 63. These strains have been bred and developed for some years past with the idea of making them as strongly resistant to the in roads of the wilt fungus as possible. The Covington Toole variety Is rela tively early, and is recommended for growth in sections which the boll weevil has already infested. You cannot expect, however, to secure a good return from it unless you em ploy all the practical means of min imizing the damage which the weevil might otherwise do. To this eud, you should prepare your ground very carefully and apply a formula con taining about 3 1-2 per cent of no trogen, 10 per cent of phosphoric acid and 4 per cent of potash. Plant as early as the ground is warm enough to insure rapid germination and chop to a stand as soon as pos sible The crop should then be cul tivated once a week, and from the time the first plants appear above the ground you should go over the field carefully once a week and pick and destroy all weevils. Later on the squares should be picked up. You should spray with calcium arse nate from the fifteenth of June un til the first of July. You will prob ably have to spray about five times in the season, each application be ing from seven to ten days apart. About five pounds of calcium arse nate should be applied each time and it should be put on with a dust gun in the evening or early morning while the plants are still moist with de<V. Thoroughly dusting the plants is es sential. The hand equipment need ed for this work will cost you from sls to S2O. Calcium arsenate will cost from 25 to 30 cents per pound. Be sure you'obtain a standard grade of this material. reaches on such soil sufficient height for cutting or even for good graz ing. It finds its greatest use on the moist or slightly moist sandy loam soils of the cut over pine re gion, and on the bottom lands of the northern mountain region,— soils which range from a neutral condition to those shown to be quite acid by the litmus test. The writ er has seen this plant during ex tremely dry weather with stems ut terly devoid of leaves and looking as though they were totally “burn ed up,” yet with the first rains they have sprung into life and giv en a satisfactory yield of hay be fore frost. Lespedeza should be broadcasted at the rate of 1 1-2 to 2 bushels per acre during February directly on September sown oats. A light harrowing at this time will not only help the oats but will cover the seed sufficiently. For lime lands of the Black belt there is nothing better to sow on grain lands, than melilotus—unless it be black medic for pasture pur poses. Because of the varying thick ness of the seed coat of melilotus causing uneven germination, in or der that a full stand be obtained the first year, it is advisable to use not less than two bushels unhulled seed per acre. This can be sown with the grain or broadcasted later, and if broadcasted on the oats no har rowing will be necessary, as the fall rains and action of the soil under alternate freezing and thawing, will provide the seed a sufficient cover ing. Some few farmers in the north ern section of the state have dis covered that their soil contains suf ficient lime to warrant a stand of red clover and on such well-drain ed upland soli of clayey nature they are beginning the practice of spring sowing of red clover on fall sown oats. But on their lower lands of silty nature, where the water table la high, and drainage poor, they find better success with the use of the more shallow rooted Lespedeza. This practice of using broadcast ed catch crops on grain should re ceive greater consideration during the future than it has in the past by the farmers of the state. periods as may be designated by the federal horticultural board, and full compensation to planters within the non-cotton zones for whatever finan cial damage or loss they may sus tain by reason of the prohibition. Steps were taken to raise a fund of or $£50,000 for this com pensation. The resolutions adopted concluded with the recommendation “that all citizens of the state of Louisiana be urged to support the movement to avert disaster to the cotton producing industry of the state and of the south.” legislation Necessary A telegram, in which the governor and the governor-elect joined with the president of the Louisiana divi sion of the American Cotton asso ciation, was sent to all members of the state legislature asking them to indicate as soon as possible whether their support can be relied upon for such legislation as is necessary for pink boll worm eradication. This legislation will include a bale tax of 50 cents on the basis of aver age production for the past five years or other adequate means to raise money for the compensation of planters in the non-cotton zones. The pink boll worm is now known to be present in three parishes of Louisiana—Cameron, Calcasieu and Jeff Davis, all of them ni the south western corner of the state. ‘The officials of the United States de partment of agriculture entertain no doubt that they will have the full co-operation of the state of LouisL ana in eradicating the pest trorh these parishes and anywhere else that it may be discovered in that state, if similar co-operation can be secured on the part of Texas, the dif ficulties that now appear will be greatly reduced. States to Establish Quarantine On the day prior to the New Or leans conference, official representa tives of practically all the cotton growing states met in Vicksburg, Miss., and agreed that they would promptly establish §tate quarantines against Texas and Louisiana, prohib iting the shipment of both lint and seed from those states into other cotton-growing territory until al! possible- precautions are taken to guard the cotton Industry against the menace.

Full information concerning this and the 15 other efficiency tests are embodied in department circular 83, Getting Maximum Returns THE PROFITS you get from your corn crop depend as much on the yield as on the price you receive per bushel. You can’t control the price very well, but you can govern the yield to a considerable extent and because you natu rally want to get maximum returns from the seed you plant, you will do everything within your power to insure a big yield. For instance, when it comes to the very im portant matter of cultivation, you are not going to endanger your crop by using a cheap, flimsy cultivator that misses many weeds and, because of its loose, bored bearings, wobbles so that it dodges into a corn hill every now and then, up rooting the young stalks. You can hold an International riding culti vator close against the corn rows with ease it is steady and the wheels track straight, because they are furnished with adjustable bearings so that any play from wear can be taken up very readily. And there are no weeds left behind an International. See the International dealer the next time ydu are in town and ask him to show you his line of International Corn Cultivators.
