Delivered promptl.y by DICKSON GROCEF Mannins THE SOLUTION Of THE [ERTILIlER AND THE BOLL WEEVIL PROBLEM Mally farm ers are ask ing the ques tion, what Can I plant for a ioney crop this year? MIrl E. .1. Ihancock, Pennut Specialist, of tie Sea Islald Cotton Oil Company, believes that the farmers of South Carolina can better afford to phillt pealut's this year than in 1920, anl assigns reasons for mank ing the assertiol. They are now as tured that pealiluts bo1)th Spanish and Rumers, can be success fully grown in this section. The 1920 crop beinig the equal of any crop grown in other sec tions, both ill yield an1d quality, has relieved all doubts as to this very im portalt- point. 'Ihousands of dollars were invested last year inl planters, weeders an11d picking mllachilles for use in growilng atnd hlarvesting pealluts. This, togeth er with tile high price of seed, all of which had to be brought from other sectiolls, and114 at a timeW whelln piea nuts and farml1 Ilachillery were Selling at the lijghest price onl record, added to the high cost of labor, made the pea lut Crop an1 expensive crop. The fair m11er now has his seed, alld ill mally instaives, philiters and weeders alld pickers. All of' these together with a year of practical expe-rielnle puts 1hnim in a positioll to vrow a pomllt rop vith less expellse t han a Inlost any Crop that all be growil inl this section, and with as muncl assuianc (f mak ing a profit -n his labor and invest Many111 panteirs wereil led tol blieve t hat t hey could11 not groiw jieanults witho~ut first, liming tile landli.

Time To Plaat "Now comes the question of the I timl1e to plant and the kind of seed to I use. For Spanish peanuts, do not t plant until the soil is thoroughly warm; May 1st, to June 15th proved : the best planting period last season. I Planting very early or extremely late did not prove profitable. Runners miiay be planted during March or t A pril. It is not advisable to plant I runners for market." "South Carolina has as fine a lot of peanuts for seed as ever grew, and I doubt if any other state has seed that is as free from mixtures as ours Planting Shelled or Uinshelled Seed This is and has been a very i mpor tant question, onue that we of South ('arolina can answer however, and in line with the advice given by the specialists in peanut Vork in Wash ington. Shelled seed, when properly shelled* (by maclime) are better than seed in the shell, and will give better results, because. First, all immature or defective kernels have been removed and we have good, sound, well developed nuts to plant.

So bad was the infestation lat not a single fruit was formed on 10 parasitized plants and the entire old was destroyed. The dodder was ?termined as hazel dodder, a species )t uncomloii on hazel and other ild shrubs and on tick trefoil and ther wvild herbs, but never previous , reported on cultivated plants. The opartment recomlenlds that on land inown to contain the seeds of dodder, irmers should use plants which are omune to attacks of the pest. The >llowing plants are not susceptible > injury by dodder: corn, soy beans, vlvet beans, cowpeas, and small rains such as oats, wheat, and rye, otatoes and buckwheat, crops com ionly used on newly-cleared land, arc ot very likely to be injured by doddet ut. iruck crops should not be planted n landli known to contain doddel ed s.

It produces a vast amount of leaves and vibes which add both humas and fertility to the soil. 6. An acre of good velvet bean vines when plowed under will add as much amonia to the soil as will an application of 1900 pounds cotton seed meal. 7. The velvet bean is an important protein for the production of beef and dairy products and furnishes excell ent winter foraging for cattle. 8. From two to two and one half pounds of velvet beans in the pod will be found equal for milk production to one pound of bright cotton seed meal. 9.
