Peanuts are a profitable ‘“‘cash” crop. Easily 
grown on any soil. In addition to the nuts, the 
hay is superior to alfalfa as it contains more fats 
and is equal in protein. An excellent soil-im- 
prover. Shell the seed before planting, but where 
there is sufficient moisture this practice is not 
necessary. If planted in corn, 30 pounds will 
plant 4 acres; planted alone, 30 to 40 pounds in 
21%4- to .3-foot rows, dropping seed in hills 8 to 
10 inches apart. Cover 1 to 2 inches deep. Culti- 
vate thoroughly until nuts begin to form.
