will readily clean from the nut when harvested. Plant when frosts are 
over so that the young plants will not be injured, about the first week 
in April until the first of June, which should mature about October.

dropping not less than two kernels. The Spanish can be planted in 
rows 2 feet apart and about | foot apart in the row, covering the

produce good crops when black eyed beans have failed from nema- 
tode infestation. Peanut straw is beneficial to the soil.
