PEANUTS AS A CASH CROP
Soils, Fertilizers, Varieties, Cultivation,
Harvsting.
Clemson College, Dec. 15.?Witli
the boll weevil present in South Carolina,
a great many farmers are looking
about for some cash crop to take
the place of cotton. Perhaps no other
crop is attracting so much attention
as the peanut. Our supply of bulletins
on peanuts has been exhausted,
says Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agronomist,
but we are preparing another
bulletin which will soon be ready for
distribution. We are giving below the
answers to the questions we are most
frequently asked:
1. It the peanut a profitable cash
crop?
A. Yes, if given the proper attention,
it compares favorably with cotton.
I recently asked a number of
farmers of Georgia and Alabama this
question, and here are some of their
answers: "The peanut has the best
future to it of any crop we know."
"Bankers and business men in peanut
territory will testify in favor of peanuts."
"Banks are more willing to
lend money to the poor farmer and
tenant who is willing to grow a good
crop of peanuts." "Cash returns from
peanuts haven't been so great as
from cotton before the weevil infestation,
but we have not become very
efficient in the production of peanuts
yet At the present time peanuts
pay us much better than cotton under
weevil conditions." "Farmers
here are in much better financial condition
than ever and would continue
to plant peanuts if weevils were not
here."
2. Do peanuts require as much labor
as cotton?.
A. No. Different fanners who have
had experience with both estimate
from half as much to the same
amount
Z. Are peanuts a sure crop?
i . A. Yes. They are safer than cotton
if given as careful attention.
4. What kind of soil is best tor
peanuts?
A. Peanuts can De grown unaer a
wide range of soil conditions. The
best soil is a well drained sandy loam
with a reasonable amount of humus
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 so easily cultivated
and they may stain the nuts. This
makes the nuts less saleable but does
not injure them for home use.
5. What kind and amount of fertilizer
shquld be used for peanuts?.^
A. For the Coastal Plains section
of South Carolina we recommend an
8-3-3 fertilizer. The amount will depend
on the kind of soil. Five to
eight hundred pounds will pay best
on the average. On soils that are
rich in organic matter an 8-2-3 fertilizer
will probably pay best. In the
Piedmont section a 9-2-3 will give
good results.
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
v needs lime, apply 1,000 pounds of
burnt lime or 2,000 pounds of ground
limestone per acre.
7. When should peanuts be plant
d?
* tn nlunt fa whp-n
A* AUV wuv ?*mv w v ??? w?
the soil becomes thoroughly warm in
the spring. They may be planted
as late as July the 15th. This means
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 3<> inches apart
and about ' inches between plants.
For the large varieties more distance
ts better. N
9. What variety is best to use?
A. The White Spanish is best for
milling and for grazing. The Virginia
Bunch, Red Tennessee and Valensia
are good for home consumption
and peanut stands.
10. How much seed are required
to plant an acre?
A. Of the Spanish variety one
peck shelled or one and one-half to
two pecks unshelled. The Virginia
Bunch requires about one and onehalf
pecks shelled.
11. How should they be cultivated?
A. Cultivation should begin immediately
after the plants are well up
and should be continued until they
begin to "peg" or form pods. After
this, thev should not be disturbed.
Never let peanuts get grassy or
weedy. They should have frequent
shallow cultivation. The soil should
be moved gradually toward the
plants to afford loose earth for the
*pegs" to penetrate.
12. Is it necessary to cover blossoms
with soil?
JL No. The "pegs" will find their
way into the soil if they receive the
proper cultivation. Covering the
blossoms prevents pollination.
13. Are there machines for planting,
harvesting and picking peanuts?
A. Yes. There are several machines
which do these various operations
with reasonable success. More
information will be given on- this
point in our bulletin which is to come
out soon.
14. It there a certain market for
peanuts next year?
A. We feel very sure there will be.
The oil mills of this state claim
they will need 500,000 tons to keep
running all the year.
For Information about where the
seed may be secured write the Agronomy
Division of damson College.
NEWSPAPER OF THE FUTURE
i Tickers to Replace Presses Under
Visualized Plan Which Seems
to Be Quite Possible.
The newspaper office of the future?
1 one without presses, typesetting machines,
casting boxes or other costly
and complicated machines used today
In newspaper production?such is the
office visualized by Oscar Roesen,
' vice president of R. Hoe & Son. press
; builders. In a letter to the Brooklyn i
, Eagle recently, Mr. Roesen gives his
Idea of the possibility of the newspaI
per office of tomorrow.
| "No press room," he writes, "but a
l large room filled with telegraph fni
struments and operators, each Instruj
ment connected with thousands of
J wires forming a cable running underj
ground to the houses of all subscribI
ers, a bulletin board in the home of
j every subscriber witn a stocK ucaer
printing arrangement connected by a
i wire with the main instrument in the
publication office,
i "When any news was ready and the
i copy was given to the telegraph op- j
' erator it would be flashed over the ;
j wires, possibly one instrument print- j
ing through twenty thousand wires to !
twenty thousand subscribers, on the
order of the telephone system, all the
news as fast as it comes in.
I "Before the subscriber goes to bed
; he puts in a fresh sheet of paper and
: while he sleeps the news is printed
on the sheet and read at his breakfast."

/ EXPLAINS , CAUSE OF COLDS
I
Lowered Vitality, Due to Many Condi
tions, Frequentfy Responsible for
Annoying Ailment.
i Colds are caught by a combination '
of two conditions, first, the presence
of certain germs in th* nose and !
throat, and second, by a change in the j
blood supply to the membrane of these j
parts.
Rossbach found by experiments on !
rabbits that chilling the outside of i
the body drives the blood inwards,
i causing congestion of the air pas- j
6ages.
Recently some authorities have'
demonstrated a lack of circulation !
in the nasal passage produced by i
chilling. The final effect, however, j
seems to be the same whether the j
condition is congestion or bloodless- j
ness.
In a perfectly healthy person these 1
conditions are controlled sufficiently j
by vasomotor action of the blood vessels
to prevent injury to the memr
brane. If, however, the action of
the blood vessels is not up to normal,
these conditions may continue
till the membrane is Injured by In
nammation so tnat it loses its resist-1
ance and even the germs commonly j
present obtain a foothold. This subnormal
action of the vasomotor sys- j
tem Is caused by chronic catarrh, adenoids,
enlarged tonsils, nasal obstructions,
general nervousness, indigestion,
lack of exercise or proper rest ;
in fact anything which lowers the general
vitality or the local vitality, of
the membrane.
Stolen Fruit 4
In how many things is each day like
' Its predecessor? And in how many
things are this year's days like the
days of ten years ago?or longer?
Just think of this in your own routine
and habits. Then, If you wish to
have an interesting, experience, see In
how many ways you could change this j
monotony and sameness without disad- j
vantage and with positive advantage in j
many cases ? and vthen make the
change.
True, it will come almost as a shock,
the realization that many confirmed ;
habits, customs, viewpoints have been ;
and are time wasted, strength wasted,
money wasted, useless and needless
drains and strains. And If you are sincere
and determined in the conversion
of your mode of life in the daily little
things, you will be astonished to find
that some of your most cherished customs
are the most reasonless.
The discipline of changing will be .
good; the resulting saving of time will
be better.?Exchange.
Dry-Time Atrocity.
I A tale of woe, with Sir Arthur Shir- |
ley Benn, head of the British trade '
mission, was told at a dinner at New j
York. Sir Arthur, when he arrived in j
the United States, brought his own supply
with him?un a golf bag. Recently
the supply was exhausted?all save a j
half-bottle of real stuff. Calling In j
some of his fellow delegates. Sir Arthur
proposed a final drink. Glasses
were filled, the bottle was emptied and
a toast was proposed. Sir Arthur likes
water in his. And at some of the American
hotels where he had stopped they
-- ? i.i?
have cute little taps siuck into me wmi
; or into the washbowl from which ice
water flows when the button is pressed.
This was the last drink and 3ir Arthur
wanted to be careful. So he pressed
the button carefully. Then he tried to
down his drink. He didn't; he had
made a mistake. Instead of the icewater
tap he had used a tap that yielded
liquid soap. f

Fish Knows Dinner Call.
Visitors to Bath are interested in a
i huge golden carp that has been trained
by Mr. W. Page to answer a dinner
j call. As soon as Mr. Page disturbs
the surface of the water in the Roman
bath with his stick the fish darts to
him ana remains motionless near the
l surface ready to snap at antj' eggs,
: dead flies and other dainties.
! The fish also takes food fearlessly
; from the trainer's fingers.?London

Some Bamberg People Fall to Realize
the Seriousness of a Bad Back.
The constant aching of a had back,
The weariness, the tired feeling,

berg, says: "I know from experience
that Down's Kidney Pills are a right
good remedy and I am only too glad
to endorse them. One of the first
symptoms of kidney trouble in my
case was sharp, digging pains In the
small of my back. Every. day the
trouble became more and more aggravating
until I could hardly stand
it. I felt miserable. I could hardly
get around to attend to my housework,
as I always telt weak and irritable.
My kidneys needed attention In the
worst way and when Doan's Kidney
Pills were recommended, to me I
used them. I only took about three
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, but
they got down to the seat of the
trouble and put my kidneys In good
condition again."
