PEANUTS 
Until recently it was thought that Peanuts could.be raised only in the South, but they are now raised 
as far North as Iowa. In the last few years Peanuts have become very popular for dry land farming. 
They are classed with Dwarf Milo and Feterita in their ability to withstand dry weather, and made good 
returns in the dry summer of 1913. 
The tops of the plants make good hay, and in the Southern States it brings a very good price. The 
yield, even in dry seasons, is from one-half to three-quarters of a ton of hay and from fifteen to sixty bushels 
of nuts per acre. The whole peanut plant makes nice feed for forcing cows to a high yield of milk and 
for rapidly fattening cattle and hogs, especially when combined with grain of Milo. A common method 
of harvesting is to let the hogs gather the nuts. 
The Spanish Peanuts are generally planted when wanted for farm use. The nuts are small but they 
stand dry weather better. 
Peanuts do best in light sandy loam. They should be planted in rows from 28 to 36 inches apart and 
from 9 to 16 inches apart in the row. They need not be shelled but should be soaked in warm water 
a day or so and then planted at once in warm soil. Planting should not be done until weather is good and 
warm. They should be cultivated and kept clean until they begin to peg or form pods. After that they 
should be left alone. 
It takes from one peck to a peck and a half of shelled nuts and from a bushel to a bushel and a half 
in the shell to plant an acre. 
WHITE JUMBO. This is the standard variety 
for roasting. The peanuts are three times as large 
as those of the ordinary Spanish peanut. The nuts 
proper grow in fine double-jointed hulls of beautiful 
white appearance, are from one -half to one inch 
in length, and of fine flavor. An excellent variety 
worthy of the highest recommendation Lb. 20c 
SPANISH. The earliest variety grown, pods are 
small, but remarkably well filled and solid, and the 
yield per acre is very large. Can be cultivated with 
the plow. Because of its early habit and easy 
cultivation it is the best variety ,to grow for fatten- 
ing hogs Lb. 20c 
TENNESSEE RED PEANUTS. This is the best of all varieties adapted to the soil of Oklahoma 
and Texas. Pods contain four and five large nuts. Better yielder than any other variety. Pure seed 
of this variety is very scarce. We have only a limited amount to offer Per lb. 25c 
SUNFLOWER, MAMMOTH RUSSIAN. Single 
heads measure 15 to 20 inches in diameter, and con- 
tain an immense amount of seed, which is highly 
valued by all farmers and poultry breeders who have 
tried it as an excellent and cheap food for fowls. 
For poultry it is the best egg-producing fruit known. 
It can be raised cheaper than corn, and is destined 
to be an article of great value. Every farmer 
should plant some of the seed in any waste piece 
of ground any time from early spring to the middle 
of July. Three pounds of seed will plant one acre.

SAND VETCH 
(Vicia Villosa.) 
Sometimes called Hairy Vetch or Winter Vetch. 
This is one of the most valuable plants for forage 
and fertilizing purposes. It will succeed and make 
a good crop on poor, sandy soils and also a better 
crop on good land. It is perfectly hardy through- 
out the United States and remains green all winter. 
Vetch belongs to the same family as Alfalfa and Sweet 
Clover, and has the same ability to gather nitrogen 
from the air and store it in the root system. The 
roots are very extensive and add a good deal of 
valuable material to the soil. It tnus improves the 
conditions and the productiveness of the land for 
the crops to follow. 
It is an excellent catch crop, makes good hay, 
silage, and pasture. Vetch can be sown from July 
until November, and should be sown broadcast at 
the rate of about 30 lbs. per acre together with one 
bushel of either oats or rye. Vetch grows quite 
tall and needs the oats or rye for support. They 
then make a better growth, and are more easily 
harvested and cured. For a hay crop the Vetch 
should be cut just after the oats or rye has headed 
out. The yield of green fodder is immense . . Lb. 25c 
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE. A well known 
vegetable produced from tubers like potatoes, which 
they resemble somewhat. Excellent food for stock. 
Do best in light rich soil, when an open exposure, 
but will resist any degree of cold incident to the 
United States. Planted like potatoes and as early 
as the ground will permit in May. Can remain 
in ground all winter as freezing does not hurt them. 
Yield up to 500 bushels per acre, Lb. 10c; bu. $2.00. 
Allow 5c per lb. for small lots and regular parcel post charges for larger
