ored smell. But equally sound and
well-favored nuts may be produced
on other soils. In fact, almost any
soil that can be put in friable con
dltlon, and kept SO, will produce pea
nuts, provided it contains a sufficient
quantity of lime.
The presence of lime is necessary
for the development of the nuts, as
without lime there may be luxuriant
vines bearing nothing but pops. If
the soil does not already contain lime
in sufficient quantities the deficiency
must be supplied 10y the use of some
form of commercial lime, such as
burnt oyster Shells burnt limestone,
or mari. 1t should oe clearly under
stood that constant cropping without
the use of proper rotations or ma
nures must eventually impoverish
both the soil and the planter.
Planting should not be done until
all danger of injury from frost to the
young plants is over.
Planting and Culture
Peanuts Should be planted in we'll
pulverized soil to a depth of four
inches. The distance between the
rows should be from twenty eight to
thirty-siX inches, varying with the
fertility of the soil and the variety
Fertilizers should be applied broad
cast before planting, but they may
be applied in the rows at the time of
planting. Carefully shelled and Sc
lected kernels should be used fol
seed. The seeds should be planted
from twelve to twenty inches apart
two to the hill, and covered about an
inch deep, either with a hoe or a
small turn pillow. All grass and weeds
must be kept out of the field, and the
soil kept loose and open, that the ten
der ''spil<es' may meet with no re
sistance in penetrating the ground.
Experiment. has not shown any def
mite result favoring either the ridge
or level culture, and the nature of the
field selected for it will be the best
guide as to the method to be adopted.
The crop should be laid by in July, or
as soon as the vines have spread suf-
fciently to keep down the weeds, or
to make the passage of the harrow
between the rows dangerous to the
developing pods.
The nuts should be out of the
ground before the first frost, as it is
injurious both to the vines, when re,
garded as fodder, and to the kernels
1t may be necessary to dig the crop
some time before frost is feared, be-
cause early formed nuts, when frost
is delayed, begin to sprout, and the
loss to the farmer from that cause
would be greater than the gain from
the maturing of the later NUTS Be
sides, if peanuts have been cultivated
in the same land for several years the
vines will often drop their leaves, and
are thus greatly injured for use as
hay.
Harvesting.
AS above intimated, we should, in
Florida, advise the growing of pea
nuts principally as a feed for fatten-
ing pigs, but if desired a certain part
of the crop might be saved for family
use. In harvesting the crop, the prac-
tice is to pass down each side of the

In getting ready to pull of the fight show
ed that New Mexico was the only place
that the managers Of the fight fully re-
/ lied on to have the great battle in.
There is no doubt that the mana cement
was willing to give large amount OF
money to have the fight In Mexico. To
have the fight in Juarez would bring a
/ great many more people than to have 1t
in New Mexico. and with a concession
from Mexico they could make an an
nouncement that would allay all doubt.
while II IL was 10 be pulled of In New
Mexico, even under the old law, they
would not dare to announce the fact
ahead of the date the carnival was TO bt
given, nor Is IL likely that they could
have pulled off more than one fight.

who favored the prize-hght are denounc-

in for large share of abuse from those
who feel disappointed over the passage

On the other hand. the Ministers Union.

that they had a place where the fight
could be pulled off without interference

shows that they are In doubt.
There Is one thing that seems quite GER
tain to all, and that is that the passage
OF the anti-prize-fight bill through Con-
gress has stopped the sale OF tickets, and
will stop those intending TO come to FL
Paso to attend the carnival from making
the trip, unless Dan Stuart can announce
within a day or two the place where the
fight will be held. and back up the an
