Tabic I shows Ihc rolativo yield of dry, unhullcMl jM'a- 

 nuts and ineals or kernels per acre, but docs not show 

 their coniincrcial value. The unhullcd dry nuts of sonic 

 of the varieties have 60 percent of hulls and i)ops, while 

 others like the White Spanish, have only 2.") |)erccnt. 

 The true value of an acre is found only by multiplying 

 the number of pounds of peanuts made on an acre by 

 the percent of meats or kernels of that particular varie- 

 ty. Particular attention is called to the figures in the 

 last column of Table II, which shows the average 

 percentage of meats obtained in experiments extending 

 through three years. 



Rklative Yields of Varieties. 



The preceding table (Page 6), taken as a whole, con- 

 veys but little meaning, yet when dissected, as below, 

 the results thrown considerable light on the relative 

 yields of varieties as measured in the weight of dried 

 andunlmlled nuts. 



For comparison, the yield of unhullcd nuts of Red 

 Spanish is taken as a basis, and hence this yield is 

 rated at 100 percent. Then each variety is compared 

 with the P\ed Spanish, but only in those years in wdiich 

 the compared variety and the Red Spanish w^ere both 

 tested along side. The results are given below: 



In 7 out of 12 experiments Red Spanish proved supe- 

 rior in yield to White Spanish. 



Pounds Relcdive 

 per Acre Yield 



White Spanish 1094 88 



Red Spanish 1244 100 



In 7 out of 12 tests Valencia w^as exceeded by Red 

 Spanish: 



Valencia 1137 91 



Red Spanish 1244 100 



In 8 out of 10 experiments North Carolina Running 

 was e{{ualled, or exceeded in yield of unhullcd nuts by 

 Red Spanish : 



North Carolina Runner 1068 84 



Red Spanish 1268 100 



In 6 out of 10 tests Virginia Runner was surpassed 

 in yield of unhullcd nuts by Red Spanish: 



Virginia Runner 1087 85 



Red Spanish 1275 100 



The comparison is still more unfavorable to Virginia 

 Runner on the basis of pounds of meats per acre,
