A Coming Crop.
| The Spanish peanut is coming to the
front as hay crop. 1t will produce
two tons to the acre on good land. will
sell for as much as Timothy, and is the
only hay crop that can be grown IN
the cotton belt upon which horses and
mules can be fed and kept fat without
grain. 1t can be produced far cheaper
than corn. Corn is very expensive
food for stock. Our old friend w. FL.
Stallworth, of Phoenix, thinks that
seven wheat is cheaper crop to raise
fer horses and mules than corn, espe-
cially as you can make wheat and corn
poth on the same land the same year."
This same gentleman says that "the
great problem for the Southern farmer
to solve is, how to feed his stock more
cheaply, that, is to say without grow
ing SO much .cornw A horse will eat
his own head off every year in corn
and fodder.
