since in a number of the tests this variety had a large 

 proportion of pops. The four localities in which Vir- 

 vinia Runner exceeded Red Spanish in yield of un- 

 hulled nuts were Pinckard, Dale County; Honoraville, 

 Butler County; Jasper, Walker County; and Auburn, 

 Lee County. In only one of the six tests (Pinckard) did 

 Virginia Runner afford a larger weight of meats per 

 acre. 



In 3 out of 5 tests McGovern was exceeded in yield 

 of unhulled nuts by Red Spanish, and in every year 

 in which the meats were separated Red Spanish afford- 

 ed a larger weight of meats per acre: 



McGovern 871 87 



Red Spanish 1005 100 



In 6 out of 9 experiments Tennessee Red was sur- 

 passed by Red Spanish on the basis of unhulled nuts: 



Tennessee Red 1079 86 



Red Spanish 1252 100 



In all experiments, except one, the yield of meats 

 from Red Spanish was greater than the yield from 

 Tennessee Red. 



In 4 out of 6 tests Virginia Bunch was exceeded in 

 yield of unhulled nuts by Red Spanish : 



Virginia Bunch 1193 86 



Red Spanish ._._1397 100 



In every case where the meats were separated Red 

 Spanish afforded a larger yield of meats per acre than 

 did Virginia Bunch. 



Sound Kernels (Meats) in Unhulled Dry Peanuts. 



Table II shows the percent of sound kernels or meats 

 for each variety as grown in different tests in various 

 parts of the State. A given amount of dried peanuts 

 without selection was taken from each variety and 

 carefully weighed and hand shelled. The sound ker- 

 nels were weighed and the percentage of kernels or 

 meats calculated.
