PLANT 
PEANUTS 
The peanut is wgrthy 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 
the roots furnish rich food 
for both man and stock. 
The best soil is one of a 
sandy, loamy nature, which 
has a red clay subsoil, as 
this indicates lime, which 
is essential for this plant. 
Thev vield 40 to lOO 
bushels to the acre, accord- 
ing to how well the crop 
is manapred. Peanuts 
should be shelled before 
planting, but can also be 
planted in the hull 16 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 2Vz 
or Z feet apart, dropping 
the nuts .S 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, 
turning the roots to the 
sun. In bright weather 
they will be cured suffi- 
ciently in 24 hours. It re- 
quires fifty pounds in hull 
to plant an acre.
