PLANT 
PEANUTS 
The peanut is worthy of 
more general cultivation. 
The peanut is a soil build- 
er and renovator. If in- 
cluded in the crop rotation 
and properly handled, pea- 
nuts are not exhaustive of 
soil fertility. The tops of 
the peanuts make fine hay, 
relished by all stock, while 
Itie roots furnish rich food 
for both man and stocl?. 
The best soil is one of a 
sandy, loamy nature, which 
has a red cla.v subsoil, as 
this indicates lime, which 
is essential for this plant. 
They yield 40 to 100 
bushels to the acre, accord- 
ing to how well the crop 
is managed. Peanuts 
should be shelled before 
planting, but can also be 
planted in the hull IG to 
18 inches apart. They 
should be planted in April 
and they will ripen before 
September, even as far 
north as Canada. 
Plant in rows about 2V> 
or 3 feet apart, dropping 
the nuts 8 to 10 inches 
apart, one in a hill. Cover 
one or two inches. Culti- 
vate three or four times 
with a cultivator, so as to 
loosen the earth and keep 
down the weeds. When 
they mature, pull them up, 
turnins: the roots to the 
.«un. In brigrht weather 
they will be cured sulH- 
ciently in 24 hours. It re- 
quires fifty pounds in hull 
to plant an acre. 
For Mild Flavor and Tenderness it's a Wonder 
The largest White Onion — grows to a vp- 
markable size, average diameter is from five 
to seven and one-half inches. .Single bulbs 
often attain weights of from two and one- 
half to four pounds each. The skin is of a 
beautiful silvery white, the flesh of a snowv 
white, and of a particularl.v mild and pleas- 
ant flavor. So svieet and tender is the ilesli 
that it can be eaten like an apple. Pncfcri,
