on account of the abundance of humus and ammonia left in the soil by 

 the clover. The clover can be gotten off or plowed under from the mid- 

 dle to the last of April, in good time for the planting of peanuts. In 

 some sections, where very little cotton is grown, small grain followed by 

 cowpeas for hay, may take the place of cotton, or a two-year rotation 

 with peanuts and corn sown down in cowpeas or clover may be followed 

 to advantage. 



If planted for hogs and vines are rooted in the ground they rank 

 along with crimson clover and cowpeas as soil improvers. Well-rotted 

 pea vines are one of the best manures on the farm. Wherever peanuts 

 are picked off in the field and an abundance of leaves and vines are left, 

 the results can be traced for a number of years by the large plant growth 

 on the land. In Table I (given below) are given the analyses of the 



TABLE I— SHOWING FERTILIZER CONSTITUENTS OF DIFFERENT 

 PARTS OF THE PEANUT PLANT.
