PEANUTS 
Peanuts do best on a light, sandy soil. The ground should 
be ploughed deeply and thoroughly harrowed. Seed pea- 
nuts should be carefully hulled to prevent breaking the 
skin on the kernels. Plant in rows 2% to 3 feet apart 
and 12 inches in the row. Cover about 2 inches. When 
matured, pull up and dry in the sun a few days. Vines 
are a valuable feed for horses, cattle and sheep. 1 Ib. 50c, 
| PEPPERS

and also contribute Vitamin B.

house about March 10th to 20th. When plants are 3 
inches high they should be transplanted to 2 or 3 inches 
apart until weather and soil conditions permit for out- 
door planting. Then plant in rows 2% feet apart and 
18 inches apart in row. Cultivate same as tomatoes.
