With the boll YFPevil making his> ap pearance and iniikiiiK votton production leas profitable ami "loss certain farmers m??t look to other crops yhich may iw* titled us a substitute Air cotton. The pea nut is ouo of our most promising sub ntitutoH and will prove to be a great factor an it bad been wise where wheu the boll weevil huu entered a new terri tory. ?? The cottonseed oil mills throughout the South have been putting in the uecca Hftry machinery for the extraction of oil from peanuts and are uow prepared to haudle a very large quantity this year. Several mills in South Carolina have put in the nectary machinery and it is estimated vt1iat it wfll require 500,000 tons to keep them rnnning up to full capacity in 1920. Mr, King, Superin tendent of the Oil Mill at Camden states tihat he will be able to handle or fur nish a market >for uny amount of pea nuts which might be grown in Iyershaw County. The soils and climate are well adapt ed to the growth of (peanuts in this sec tion ; the state of South Carolina has an average yield of 45 bushels per acre. The fanners of this section can expect to onake from 40 bo 00 bushels per acre with reasonable care and attention. He will also get from three-fourths to a ton of' good hay in addition 4o the peanut crop. Spanish peanuts sold, as high as $8.00 per bushel this season, but one eaunot expect 'the average price to run so high. With an uvorage of $2.25 per bushel and a yield of 50 bushels per aero one gets $112.50 for his- -pea-nuts aud he has a ton of hay that is worth $25.00 in addition. This is not so much as a bale of ootton iper acre would bring, but ouq must consider the. fact thet the. coining of the boll weevil makes the production of cotton smaller and quite a bit less certain than has bowl the "case previous to( this time. , It requires less fertilizers to grow a crop of pea nuts than of cotton, particularly nitro genous fertilizers; peanuts require only about two-thirds as inuch labor as does cotton, thus making it possible to graw va larger acreage per plow. Peauuts can be grown under a large range of soil conditions, . The best soila are the sandy loams and the fine sandy loams with a permeable clay ? subsoil. The soil should liave good physical structure. It should not bake or form a crust rcaflfhr, ,but should rather be loose and ifriable. This ds important be? cause upon it depends the setting of the "lugs" ?r the -forming of the pods. A 'heavy soil which forms a hard crust may 'be improved and put in good condi tion by plowing under a good supply of organic matter and by the* addition of liiue. Poorly drained soils are generally y - ? ? how or Kckl uikI are not desirable for |HV|ipU. Such soils may be improved by proper drainage in addition to the ttppHcattou of lime ami orgunio matter. H68 amis! ntud.v th'o noods of his soil .in urder to know whether or not the addition of lime will bo of advr.iituge on his land. It is doubtful If lime will pny on Wo 11 drained upland soils. FeyfUUer formula* which haw boon rocomimended for peaituts vary ttontgwlMtt but in general an 8-8 8 will be found lif.st for tho light sandy soil* of this section, and au 8-2-8 for snob lands as contain a reasonable Amount of organic mp.tter. There is a possible dattKcr of getting too much nitrogen to--the ferti lisers where the soil in vor? fertile, but little danger of getting too tnucli i*hos phoroiiH or |K>tash, In some very fertile ??oil? which ure rich In organic matter no nitrogen is necessary in the fertilieer. It is not advisable to apply barnyard muuur? just previous to planting pea nuts. It would do ibettev if applied to some other crop ahead of the .peanuts. AN UNUSUAL SENTKNCK Fair and Ablo Judge Forces llanks to Take Care of Tnmer. A rather unusual sentence was imposed by .Fudge Menintinger yesterday after noon when James II. IInnk.s plead guilty to a change, of a?sault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. The charges against* Hanks were for assault and battery 'with intent to kill his plea being entered voluntarily. Judge Mwnininger's fairness and his evident desire to see. justice accorded to everyone could not ?be better, shown than by producing verbatim the sentence im posed by the court." The sentence reads: The sentence of tbc court is that the dt fondant be confined at hard labor on the public works of the county of An derson, or in t.he state penitentiary for ?twelve monthsy and pay o line of $100, the .twelve^iionths of imprisonment is however, suspended mpou the payment of *250 to the duly appointed guardian of Tom Turner, tlie injured prson, which gunrdian must l>e the.
