M. Jackson, well-known fanner of the upper section of the * coufi'y, has JO acres from which he is exp< :ng 100 bushels per acre. He estimates his hay crop at a ton to the acre ami peanut hay is worth $25 a ton. Virgin# peanuts ar.e quoted at $1.70 a bushel and Carolina peanuts arc quoted at $1.32., Mr. Jackson estimates that several acres in his fleUJ of 30 acres will turn out more than .300 bushels to the acre. His estimates are based on several average hunches pulled up from various places. He has 1,050 hills to a row seven acres long, ami 15 rows will make un acre. Each hill by actual measurement will make twoi thuds of a quart, which is equivalent to a yield of slightly more than .300 bushels to the acre. This big yield was obtained on the best of land. Mr. Jackson has some peanuts on poor land which will not turn out Jm0 bushels to the acre, but he is expecting an average yield of 100 bushels per acre from the 30 acres. Mr. Jackson say.- the cost of cultivation will not exceed $'25 an acre. Mr. Jackson i- so well pleased with this year's crop that he is planning to plant 200 acres next year. He says peanuts as a money crop at present j prices will lay tobacco and cotton in j t fie shade. lie says if he could get I $1.00 a bu-hel foi every bushel of .peanuts he. could raise for the next , live year- thai Jie could afford to rej tire at the eml of that period and deveto hi- time to clipping coupons frtmi go-Ill bonds, j I'f anuts is om <,l ! be tlree crops produced m this -ectio'n which ha- a 'e;t<l\ market .30. day- out of the year, j I he other two are cotton and tohacj l'eanuts can bej/.-ackcd and .-to j ed for an indefinite period ami -tor, age warehouse- will advance 75 per cent, of the market price on the day I of storage. j 1 he consump'n/n of peanuts is increasing every year and it will proba bly . be sev eral years before supply J gets ahead of demand.
