Peanut Culture in Yakima.

| F. E. Nordyke, of the Wide Hollow
district, has been experimenting in the
growing of peanuts, says a dispatch
from North Yakima. He planted one
half acre in the Virginia nuts this sea-
son, and has made success in grow
ing some fine specimens. The grower
is confectioner any will use the en-,
tire crop in the manufacture OF home
candies. The experiment will open
up new agricultural avenue for small
farmers and market gardeners, and
Yakima Valley may become one of the
great-peanut growing districts OF the
Northwest.
Peanut growing is one of the most
valuable undeveloped industries of the
Northwest. The annual consumption
OF nuts averages about one-half bushel
to each individual in the United States
The Southern states have held prac-
tical monopoly on the production un-
til within the past few years, when ir-
rigated districts of California and else
I-where have produced the nuts in great
quantities. Several small experiments
have shown that at least so bu. per
acre Cab be grown III irrigated sections
where Il WARM sandy soil is obtain
able. a buehel weighs from % to 2S
pounds, the weight depending on the
variety of the nuts. Thele are several
choice varieties, but the most profit
able are the small white Spanish, the
red Virginia and the mammoth white
Missouri.
The seed may DC purchased OF al
most any reliable tirst-class seed grow
er at about 15c per ID. The nuts are
shelled and planted two in. a hill,
about the same as potatoes They 1e-
qulre practically the same cultivation
as potatoes. One variety is known as
the upright aud grows as the Irish DO
tato, and the other, the creeper, resem-
bles the nature of the sweet potato in
growth. The vines are valuable for
age for cows, and the nuts are splendid
for fattening swine and poultry. 1t is
a question of but few years until
Yakima will be a great shipping point
for peanuts or the goober pea, as it is
lcommonly known New West Trade.
