A Kershaw County man Is endeavor ing to wet the farmers of thin county Interested In the growing t?f peanuts. It may not l>e generally known but there Is a mill In Charleston using pea nuts In the manufacture of oil. Tho Sen Island Cotton Oil Co., of that city, last yoar offered a prlao In a contest for the largest yield on an aere of |H?a nuts and the Industry la growing. Wo learn from good authority that Mr. U W.~Bo.vkln, of lloykln, will plant ono hundred acres in peaputs this year. Mr. J. N. Klrven. <?f Darlington, stated while here at the horse show that ho expected to plant forty acres in jM>a nuts. The following letter from the Hea Island Cotton Oil Co., in answer to an enquirer will he of Interest to the farm ers of this community: "1 am glad to get. your letter of re cent date about peanuts, etc. We ave trying to gel some of the planters around here to go into the raising of peauuts, and we will he In position to buy? all that are offered. We will he able to pay about (K> j>er cent above the price of cottonseed for them for oil mill purposes, which I believe will make the price $C?0 to $00 per ton next season. 'Hfhe planter that won the prise con test here last year mude a little over a ton of peauuts to the acre, besides abijut one and a half ton of line forage.. I will he glad Jf you wop Id get the names of those who are going to plant peanpts in your section this year and keep in touch with thein. Tell them they ought to plant th<* small Spanish peanuts as they fjre the most produc tive, the easiest to gather, and the most desirable for oil mill purposes. They should be planted on light land and they do not require very much fertlUr ! 7.er, but It Is said to be very impor tant to sprinkle the rln&s with bind plaster (Sulphate of IJme) about the time they begin to bloom. For some unknown reasort this makes 'them fill out and bear much more heavily. When It comes t,o picking, it will l?e necesr sary for some one In the community to buy a Bentbnll Peanut I'leker, which i cohI about $'100. Thin is just as im portant for peanuts as a gin Is for cotton add a threshing machine foi :rniln. I can give you any further in formation that jroir mny want" about , the matter."
