Clemson College, Dec. 15.?With he boll weevil present in South Caroina, a great many farmers are lookng about for some cash crop to take he dace of cotton. Perhaps no other rop is attracting so much attention the peanut. Our supply of bulleins on peanuts has been exhausted, ays Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agrononist, but we are preparing another lulletin which will soon be ready for listribution. We are giving below the mswers to the questions we are most requently asked: 1. It the peanut a profitable ca?h :rop? A. Yes, if given the proper attenion, it compares favorably with coton. I recently asked a number of armers of Georgia and Alabama this luestion, and here are some of their inswera: "The peanut has the best uture to it of any crop we know." 'Bankers and business men in peanut erritory will testify in favor of pea/luts." "Banks are more willing to end money to the poor farmer and enant who is willing to grow a good I :rop of peanuts." "Cash returns from Deanuts haven't been so great as rom cotton before the weevil infesation, but we have not become very :fficient in the production of, peanuts r'et. At the present time peanuts jay us much better than cotton unler weevil conditions." "Farmers J lere are in much better financial conlition than ever and would continue .0 plant peanuts if weevils were not lere." 2. Do peanuts require as much la jor as cotton r A. No. Different farmers who have lad experience with both estimate rom half as much to the same! imount. 3. Are peanuts a sure crop? A. Yes. They are safer than cotion if given as careful attention. 4. What kind of soil is best for peanuts? A. Peanuts can be grown under a wide range of soil conditions. The j&6t soil is a well drained sandy loam ivith a reasonable amount of humu? ind plenty of lime. The heavier soils ivill make good yields of nuts, if they j lave plenty of hums and ar^ friable, jut they are not so easily cultivated ?nd they may stain the nuts. This makes the nuts less saleable but does lot injure them for home use. 5. What kind and amount of fertilizer should be used for peanuts? A. For the Coastal Plains section 3* South Carolina we recommend an ?-3-3 fertilizer. The amount will depend ou the kind of soil. Five to ?ight hundred pounds will pay best >n the average. On soils that arc ich in organic matter an 8-2-3 fertiliser will probably pay best. In the Piedmont section a 9-2-3 will give jood results. c Tu lima rmpooanrv for rmnmitc 1 A- Soils that are acid need lime. These are usually the soils that are poorly drained or have been poorly irained in the past. If your soil ioeds lime, apply 1,000 pounds of 3Unit lime or 2,000 pounds of ground imestone per acre. 7. When should peanuts be plant ;d? A. The best time to plant Is when :he soil becomes thoroughly warm in :he spring. They may bo planted is late as July the 15th. This means :hey can be planted after a crop of >ats is harvested. 8. What distance should be glveD :he>m ? A. The Spanish variety should beilanted in rows 30 to 36 inches apart md about 6 inches between plants i^or the large varieties more distance s better. 9. What variety is bast to use? A. The White Spanish is best for nilling and for grazing. The Virginia Bunch, Red Tennessee and Va ensia are good for home consumption ind peanut stands. 10. How much seed are required o plant an acre? A. Of the Spanish variety one )eck shelled or one and one-half tc wo pecks unshelled. The Virginia 3unch requires about one and oncialf pecks shelled. 11. How should they he cultivat!d? A. Cultivation should beein imme liately after the plants are well up md should be continued until they legfn to "peg" or form pods. After his they should not be disturbed Cerer let peanuts get grassy or veedy. They should have frequent hallow cultivation. The Botl should ie moved gradually toward the ilants to afford loose earth lor the pegs" to penetrate. 12. Is it necessary to cover biosoms with soil? * A. No. The "pegs" will find th <*ir i ray into the soil if they receive the j iroper cultivation. Covering the ! ilossoms prevents pollination. 13. Are there machines for plant- ( ng, harvesting and picking peanuts?!. A. Yes. There are several ma-! hincs which do these various opera-1 Inn c ti* 11 Vi rn'i cn*vi lil n cn/>/>oeo Yf m i-a I kUilU I) I Lll lCU>1WliUUi& OUV.V.V.OJ. ?uv i o tiformntion will be ^iven or? this ! oint in our bulletin which is to come j ut soon. 14.
