THE GOOBER. 205 



THE GOOBER. 



Botanically, the peanut is Arachis hypogcea, Willd., 

 while the goober is Voandzeia subtereanea. The goober 

 looks like a very large, one seeded peanut. There are 

 some sections of our country where this name is ap- 

 plied to the peanut. 



The cultivation and general manipulation is the 

 same as for the peanut. The crop has not been grown 

 sufficiently to make very decided reports on it. 



Either the peanut or the goober makes a good soil- 

 ing plant, and one that is well worth careful attention 

 from this standpoint and from that of an economic 

 crop.
