Hunter.) Three years ago Coffee county, Ala bama. was an all cotton county, rais ing cotton with commercial fertili zers. Tennessee and Kentucky mules fed on corn and hay shipped into the county from 'different sections, and the farmer himself ate meat, meal, syrup and other food stuffs that had been raised in other parts and shipped by supply merchants for the farmer to make a crop on. The boll weevil and the hard times caused by the European war hit us at the same time. Times were tight; people owed money to the banker and supply merchant for their year's feed; they had raised cotton expecting to be able to pay their debts and have money to run another year, so had not raised anything to eat. In these tight times intelligent farmers were looking around for a crop that would be a staple money crop and not a commissary for the boll weevil. It had long been the custom of farmers to plant peanuts in corn rows and middles for hogs to harvest, but peanuts on a com mercial scale were unheard of. But when a fellow is in the suds, he will think and do a lot of things that will surprise even himself. One farmer of our county planted 100 acres to peanuts under contract for 90 cents per bushel. This farmer harvested close to 6000 bushels off this 100 acres of ground; this marked the beginning of the peanut, industry in Coffee county. The first important thing in raising peanuts is to secure good, sound seed of whatever variety you may choose to plant. Hand picked seed are best, but seed peitnuts picked on such ma chines as the Benthall are all right. Seed picked on a cylinder machine or thresher are not to be depended upon. The nuts will be skinned up and a large per cent of them bursted; a good The Quinine Tfiat Does Not Affect The liead Beccausc of its tonic and laxative effect.

The Spanish are richer in oil than the running variety,, and command a slightly higher price, but the yield has not been satisfactory with us, and the fal ers are not plarvting them very extentively. Peanuts do well on all kinds of sandy soil; even the very poorest sandy land will produce peanuts well with a little fertilizer. Any land that is of a sandy nature will grw them wvell. They prefer a wvell drained soil and will not do well on soils that get too wet or too hard. When they bloom there is a little pin that goes from the bloom to the ground, and if this ground is too hard for the pin to enter the jig is all up-no peanuts there. Land is usually prepared by break- - ing the land flat; then it is laid off with a middle burster in rows the de sired width; for the running varieties three feet is about right; for Spanish, about 30 . inches. Ground is left in this fix till planting time, about the 1st to the 15th of April being the general time for planting here. For fertilizers, I believe cottonseed meal and. acid phosphate is the best, mixed, say", one sack of cottonseed meal to two sacks of acid phosphate. Some use only acid phosphate. Where the land has a good bunch of velvet bean vines to plow under, or other similar crops that tend to furnish the soil with nitrogen the cottonseed meal may be omitted. We take a guano distributor, get on top of the bed and apply the fertilizer; 200 or 300 pounds of the meal and acid phosphate will be abot right; then follow the dis tributor with the planter-a Cole Plain View is the best thing I have ever seen to drop peanuts with, al though you cnn use your hands andl cover with a double stock.

E-75 high; nail a crosspiece on the stack pole to hold the vines off the ground and to allow the air to get under them and hasten the drying. The vines should be so stacked that the nuts will be close to the pole and away from the weather. They will be brighter and bring a better price. In hauling stacks from the field to picker take a long carrylog or frame on the wagon, and get two men to load the stacks whole on the wagon; three stacks can be hauled at a load. As soon as the peanuts are remov ed from the field hogs should be turn ed in to harvest the ones that pulled off the vines in digging. This is no small part of the peanut harvest, and hogs should be provided for this pur pose. Our oil mill at Enterprise last year crushed peanuts altogether, the meth 0d of buying being the same as cot tonseed. The price paid for peanuts ran from 80 cents in the early fall, while peanuts were green and heavy, to $1.00 later. The yield of peanuts varies according to nature of soil and methods of handling, but it seems that a yield of 40 to 60 bushels per acre is the average here. Several of our larger peanut growers report an av erage of 60 bushel, per acre on their farms. The value of the peanut does not lie alone in the value of the nut, but DR. J. A.

The peanut hay is relished by all kinds of farm animals and is sold here for from $10 to $12 per ton. Besides the large amount of pea nuts that have been sold to the oil mills, Coffee county has shipped over 300 carloads of hogs fattened on pea nuts, at 6 to 10 cents per pound and we have all the meat 'that we need to feed Coffee county another year. -Peanuts turned the trick. New Brockton, Ala. PLANT ONLY FOOD CROPS Sumter, April 22,-At a meeting of the committee of public safety yes terday reports were received from all of the townships in the county ex cept two as to the work that is being done in the interest of food prepared, ness. The reports showed that much interest is being taken generally by the large and small farmers and sev eral of the townships reported that with normal seasons they would have more than sufficient foodstuffs to feed their own population. Resolutions, wired to and calling on the Governor and superintendent of the penitentiary to plant the State farms in grain crops, were passed, as follows: "The Sumter County committee of public safety, realizing the importance of the food situation as outlined in your splendid address to our people, believe that great good can be accom plished along these lines by the man agement of the State farms not allow ing cotton to be planted on land con trolled by the State. And if any cot ton has been planted, the gravity of the situation is such, that we believe it would be wise to plow up all cot ton and plant the land in corn and other food crops immediately."
