 Rev. Agric.Com. yTrab. [Cuba] 3: 404-408. Jffig. 1920. — Preliminary experiments showed that 

 castration of peanut plants did not increase yields. Seed selected from pods containing 2 or 

 more grains yielded twice as much as those from pods containing 1 seed. The addition of lime 

 and stable manure to the soil very materially increased the yield. — F. M. Blodgett.
