Planting the Peanut.


The reqrisite of first Importance IN
most Florida soils is lime. Without
this the nuts will not develop; q large
proportion of them will be ''pops" that
is,empty shells. The ground should be
broken deep with two-horse plow
broadcast, thoroughly narrowed, laid of
one way with a shovel-plow, burrows
opened with seven.inch shovel, the
seed dropped and covered with double
bull-tongue. The nuts should be at least
cracked we'll open, and it is better TO
shell them, though this is tedious
labor, requiring to be done by hand.
Cultivate by running on each side Of the
row with four-inch scooter, bar-side to
the plants. AS soon as over the field,
plo W the walks out clean with the same
implement, running below where the
ground was broken and throwing the
earth back to the rows. Ten days later
cultivate clean with the Planet, Jr.
In short, the crop is handled like corn,
except that the hills are lanted three
feet apart. Two nuts in hill are
enough, for they are almost absolutely
certain to come up if they are sound.
and two plants are enough.
Peanuts should be cultivated level
that is, with no more bed than a
Planet, Jr.. or other such cultivator will
make. They should be hoed and earthed
up twice; not the crown of the nut vine
as it spreads. On god ground and with
proper cultivation they can be made to
lap in the middle of 6ve-foot rows, and
almost fill the space with nuts; quite so
in three-foot rows. This can be done In
Florida on ordinarily good land without
fertilizing at all.
A fair crop of peanuts has been grown
on the poorest white sand, scrub oak
land in Florida, so poor that it would
only support very scattering growth
of wire-grass and few weeds.
Where there are so many different
kinds of forage as can be saved in
Florida it does not pay to use peanut
vines. Forage would be saved only at
the expense of the nuts, as the vines
continue to bear, if properly treated, till
after frost, and even then many of the
nuts are not fully matured, and will
continue to mature after the vines have
been frosted. In an event, too much
foliage is lost In curing and handling,
and If this Is not properly done the vines
will mold. This does not apply to
Spanish nuts so much.

worse depredatorS On peaDnIs.-Bx-

Tobacco.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:
The communication of "Hodie Dixie"
In your issue of January 29th., indicates
a conservative man with most positive
convictions. His note of warning is
very we'll taken and deserves attention,
but it would be unwse to follow it too
literally. The problem is not so much
in the wing of tobacco as in the cur
ing and marketing; that is, the problem
of profits. The substance of the article
is that it is best to learn how to do a
thing before going into it on large
scale, and no class of workers needs such
advice more than farmers. What
"Hodie Dixie" says of tobacco, is un-
doubtedly true of truck growing, sugar
cane planting, etc. have been pretty
thoroughly over the drained lands in Gen.
trail Florida and have had ample evil
dence of the folly Of putting UNFRAMED
men In charge of farming operations.
There is plenty of good tobacco land
in Florida, and the climate is favorable
for special grades, but if the men who
are to manage these projected tobacco
plantations are not trained in the art,
the projectors may well "go slow" about
it. as suggested by your correspondent.
There are points In the communica-
tion of Mr.. "Dixie" Che will pardon me
if Dixie is not his real name) which
seem to me to vitiate the general force
of his remarks. Extensive experimental
research has long since determined, be-
yond the question of q doubt, that the
quality of tobacco is very materially
affected by the nature of the manure
used.
Professor Ladislaus Won Wagner, of
the Royal Technical High School, at
Buda-Pesth, Hungary, is authority for
the statement that horse, sheep and hog
dung produce tobacco Of quality unfit
ted for smoking. think Mr. Dixie will
be safe in moderating his comparisons
q trifie, in the interests of the Florida
farming community.
In Connecticut exhaustive expert
ments have been conducted to determine
the influence of various manures on the
quality of tobacco, and am afraid that
1t was clearly shown that rank farm.yard
manures did not make very enviable
record. Mr.. Dixie's periods round up
beautifully, but they are great deal
like some of the exceptional (0 farm
lands saw in Polk county; they won't
hold water. Also, in regard to the sweet
potato soils of New Jersey. This hap
pens to be specially of my immediate
section. The best sweet potatoes in
New Jersey are grown in ordinary-very
ordinary-light sandy soils which with
. little washing will make first class
glass, and is sometimes used for the pur.
pose. Furthermore, these potatoes are
grown wholly with commercial isrtili"

Der of things as chufas, peanuts, or
Kafir corn, we plant little, too little

so think it of no use.
Have you ever tried cassava for the
table? 1t is no hard times diet, TO be
ranked with cabbage palmetto buds and
woodchuck, but as a basis for griddle
cakes, puddings, and cake it is fit for an
epicure. This neglect is the more to he
wondered at when you consider that this
plant furnishes the bread Of whole ma
tions IN the southern hemisphere.

surprise they will find a chance hill
among other grasses. This is true of
peanuts and il is amusing to see row
of hens at work all in line making the
dirt fly from q row of the nuts. Talk of
an industrious ant, but give me hen

ZerS, ana Cne planters reIuSe 10 use laEM'
yard manures as they claim it INJURIES
the quality. The New York market
reports testify to the truth of this. 1
know one farmer who has grown success
fully and profltably sweet potatoes on
the same land for sixteen consecutive
years, and without the use of farm-yard
manures.
The fertilizer is precisely the same
thing as farm-yard manure; crude ma
terial containing certain quantities of
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid;
that is, If it Is true fertilizer ana
most of the brands placed on the
market are true fertilizers.
A tobacco fertilizer should bear some
relation to the actual composition of the
plant itself. The mean Of number of
analyses shows that the demand of the
tobacco plant for the three chief ele.
ments IS approximately as follows:
Ammonia Observation-Disclosures. 100
Potash. ........................' 1o'
It is probable that the above proper
tlons would make a useful mixture.
The phosphoric acid should be doubled
at least, as it is prone to take lnsoluble
aud unavailable forms in the soil.
Tobacco, as is well known, is deli
cate feeder. 1t seems to have little
power of making the natural plant food
stored in the soil available, and must be
literally fed; but if Florida expects to
produce anything above rough, heavy
tobacco, the climatic conditions must
be taken advantage of freely, and all
heavy farm-yard manures kept off the
land. In some sections, where the ma.
nure may be applied several months be-
fore the plant is started, farm yard ma
nure may suffice but these conditions
are somewhat impracticable in Florida
If tobacco is profitable crop in Flor
ida, the acreage may be extended widely,
bus as Mr.. Dixie implies it is best to first
learn how to grow tobacco. One of the
first things for the modern; farmer to
post himself on, is the modern manure.

of the speaker and his company, but,
as Mr. Tuozo advanced toward tae
