CHUFAS 
815 The Chufa is a species of ground-nut, most easily 
grown. Any land suitable for corn, cotton, or peanuts 
will make a bumper crop of Chufas. Plant from 
April until the end of June, in 2%4- to 38-foot rows, 
dropping 3 to 5 Chufas together, 16 to 18 inches 
apart in the row, and cover 2 inches deep. In the fall 
pull up a few plants for your stock to taste, and they 
will then go over the entire field and will attend to 
the harvesting. Requires 1 to 1% pecks to plant an 
acre. The crop is usually matured about September 
15, and can be left in the ground until time to turn the 
hogs in. ™%4 Ib. 10c; Ib. 30c: 2 Ibs. 55c; 5 Ibs.

3- to 3%-foot rows. In the fall when they have ma- 
tured, turn the hogs into the field, and they will feed 
on them all winter except when the ground is wet or 
frozen. are more productive than potatoes. 
Yields of 700 bushels have been grown on an acre of 
good land, but 300 to 400 bushels is nearer the average 
crop. Although grown principally for hogs, they are 
fine food for cattle, sheep and horses. Also make an 
excellent table dish when served hot or chilled. Re- 
quires about 250 pounds to plant an acre. Plant during
