Spanish Peanuts. — Sandy, no manure. Planted May 20 ; 

 harvested August 30. Quality good ; about 50 bu. per acre. 

 A desirable variety, as the vines grow in a bunch straight 

 up and the nuts grow close to the vine and adhere in gather- 

 ing, which makes them easy to gather. 



Kaffir Corn. — Sandy upland, five wagon loads stable ma- 

 nure per acre, broadcast. Planted May 10th ; harvested 

 September 10th. Crop would have been very fine, had it 

 not been injured by English sparrows at the time the seed 

 began to form. 



Sweet Clover. — Sandy upland, no manure. Planted Mar. 

 10. Did fairly well ; cut twice, fair crop each time. Horses 

 very fond of it. 



Crimson Clover. — Sandy upland, no manure. Planted 

 March 31. Killed out by summer drought. 



Spurrij {Spergula Ar'emis.) — Sandy soil, dressing of stable 

 manure. Planted March 31. Quick growth, but very low ; 

 not high enough to cut. Made a good crop of seed. 



Aivnless Brome Grass. — Sandy upland, no manure. Planted 

 March 31. Got a good stand, but died out on account of the 

 summer drought. "Not the grass for my soil." 



Egyptian Cotton. — Complete failure. 



Tobacco. — Sandy upland, manured with a small quantity 

 in the drill. Plants set about May 1st ; harvested Septem- 

 ber 10th, quality pronounced by judges to be excellent. 

 Yield about 800 pounds per acre. Think tobacco a paying 

 crop for this section, and am convinced that it is more pro- 

 fitable than cotton. Only wormed it two or three times.
