Our supply of bulle tine on peanuts bll* been exhausted tmyh Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agrono mist, but we are proparlng another bulletin which will hood be ready for distribution. \Ve are glviug below the answers to the questions we are most frequently asked: 1. It tb# peanut a profitable cash crop? A. Yes, if given the proper atten tlon, it compares favorably with cot ton. ' I recently asked a number of. farmers of Georgia and Alabama this question, and here are tome of their answers: "The peanut has the best future to It of any crop we knpfW." "Bankers and business men in peanut territory will testify la favor ot pear nuts." "Banks are more willing to lend money to the poor fanner and tenant who is willing to grow a good crop ot peanuts." "Qatfc returns from peanuts haven't been so great as from cotton tisfore the weevil Infes tation, but we have not become vary efficient in the production of peanntg yet. At the present time peanuta pay us much better, tb^n cotton uu der weevil conditions." "Farmers here are in much, better faanclal con dltlon than ever and would continue to plant peanuts ,if weevils were not here." 2. X)o peanuts require as much la bor as cotton? A. No. Different farmers who have had experience with both estimate from half as much to the same amount. 3. Are peanuts a sure crop? A. Yes. They uro safer than cot ton If given hh careful attention. 4. What kind of soil is best for peanuts? A. Peanuts can be grown under a, wide range of soil conditions. The best soil is a well drained sandy loam with a reasonable amount of humup and plenty of lime. The heavier soils will make good yields of nuts, if they have plenty of humus and are friable but they are not ho easily cultivated and they may stain the nuts. This makes the nuts less saleable but doer not injure them for home use. 5. What kind and amount of fer tilizer should be used for peanuts? ? A. For the Coastal Plains section of South Carolina we recommend an 8-3-3 fertilizer. The amount will de pend on the kind of soil. Five to eltfbt hundred pounds will pay best on the average. On soils that are rich in organic matter an 8-2-3 fertili zer will probably pay best; In the Piedmont section a 9-2!t will Rive cood results. i 6. Is lime necessary for peanuts? A. Soils that are acid need lime. These are usually the soils that are poorly drained or have been poorly drained in the past. If your soil needs lime, apply 1,000 pounds of burnt lime or 2,0(10 pounds of ground limestone per acre. 7. When should peanuts be plant ed? A. The best time to plant is when the toll becomes thoroughly warm in the spring. They may be planted as late as July the 15th. This moans they can be planted after a crop of oats is harvested. , 8. What distance should be given them? A. The Spanish variety should be planted in rows 30 to 36 inches apart and about 6 inches between plants. For the large varieties more distance 1h better. 9. What variety in best to use? A. The White Spanish Is best for milling und for grazing. The Vir ginia Bunch, Red Tennessee and Va lensia are good for home consumption and peanut stands. 10. How much seed are required to plant an acre? A. Of the Hpanish variety one peck shelled or one and one-half to two peeks unshelled. The Virginia Bunch requires about one and one half pecks shelled. 11 How should they bp cultivat ed' A. Cultivation should begin imme diately after the plants are well up and should be continued until they begin to "p*g" or form pods. After this they should not he disturbed Never let peanuts Ket grassy or weedy They alin.iM?have?frequent shallow cultivation The hoII should be moved gradually toward the plants to afford loose earth for the "pegs" to penotrwte. 12. Is it necessary to cover blos soms with soil? A. No. The "peps" will find their way into the if ".hey receive the proper cultivation Covering the blossoms ? v;lliiu>-tion. 13. Are machines for plant ing. harvesvmrr '"d picking peanuts? A. Ye* There are several ma chines whte*i jO The?e various opern tions with reasonable success. More information will be given on this p*)lnt In our bulletin which Is to come out soon. 14 It there a eertaia market for peanuts next year?
