New York Markets.

The Trade papers report that the
old crop of California oranges is about
all shipped, only Is cars being left in
the state. The price has fallen off
somewhat. Lemons are decidedly low
er.
Florida grapefruit sold for from
$3.50 to $500. The Fruit Trade Jour-
nal comments on the fact that while
much of this fruit sold as low as $3.50
per box, yet the restaurants in the
city were charging 20 cents for half
Of a grapefruit at meals. It seems a
rather large profit, and as though they
might afford to put them lower, and
thus sell more of them
The same paper reports Florida
vegetables as follows: Egg plant very
poor, sales as low as Is cents to $1.25.
Good stock would have brought 1926
to $3.50, but there was none to be had
Fine Florida okra sold for $3.50.
A few peas were also arriving and
brought from $500 to $500.
Florida beans we're inquired for, and
would sell for from $500 to $3.50.
The Fruit and Produce News re-
ports that Florida oranges are better,
selling for from $500 to $3.50, with a
few choice bringing $500.

Domestic Uses of the Peanut.

The American Nut Journal has a
long article on the uses of the peanut.
The common large peanut of COM
merce has not been found to yield good
crops in this state, at least on the light
sandy soil of east Florida. We have
heard good reports of success with the
Spanish peanut, and that it makes
more and better hay than the common
variety. If you will read this article
carefully perhaps you will find that
it would pay to plant some Spanish
peanuts:
Persons going into peanut culture
for the most profit should count good
deal on the home uses of the crop.
Apart from the high commercial value
OF the nuts, there are domestic uses

Tick Eradication Work in Georgia.

At various times we have published
articles about getting clear of the tick
nuisance. There is no question that
the stock business is certain to prove
to be, in the future, the most profitable
branch of agriculture. If not the most
profitable, the raising of cattle is sure
to be the largest part of the stock bust
ness. Hence the importance of getting
rid Of the ticks which are great draw
back to the successful raising of good
cattle.
The account of what has been and is
now being done in Georgia to eradi-
cate the tick is told by Prof Willough-
by, of the Georgia Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, in the Southern
Ruralist.

much toward this much to be desired

WEDNESDAY, NOV. II, 1906.
This Weeks Paper.

Mr. Neeld has his say about green
oranges. Whether you accept all his
ideas or not, you cannot help being in
terested in the way that he tells of
them.
Mr. Gilbert does not sy1npathize with
those who oppose the use of barbed
wire for fencing. 1t is certain that
the era of wooden fences is about over.
Even in this state with it's large areas
of timber, lumber has reached such
a high price as to be out of the ques-
ton for fencing purposes. Personally,
we prefer some form of woven wire
instead of barbed wire Evidently, Mr..
Gilbert is not aware that we have
no anti-hog law in this state, and that
three wire fence would be of little
use, as the razor-backs would soon
have the crops in a condition where
they would not need fencing.
An editorial and two articles from
contributors to the Southern Ruralist,
throw still farther light on the much
discussed labor problem.
Americans think that they are little
smarter than all the rest of the world.
But in several respects the nations Of
Europe are ahead of us. For example,
we may name parcels post, postal
savings banks, and now the methods
Of producing cheap denatured alcohol
If you are interested in the introduce
ton of a cheaper material for lighting
and fuel, do your best to hasten the
time when small stills shall be allowed
so that any community may use up its
surplus starchy crops in the production
of alcohol. Our cassava, sweet pota-
toes, and probably Japanese sugar
cane, will furnish ample supplies Of
material suitable for this purpose

nicely cured and housed, it is nut1i-
tious and generally safe feed for all
animals. Nearly all stock is fond of
it. 1t is not only rich in nutritious
elements for stock, but it is a milk
producer when fed literally to cows
at the pail The yield of hay per acre
is about equal to that of other hay
and fodder crops If the plant is dug
before frost nips it, and before the
leaves have fallen much, it makes a
sweet, nutritious provender. In this
way, the peanut crop now supplies a
large percentage of the forage con-
sumed upon the farms throughout the
peanut belts. Hence the tendency now
is to dig the crop early in order to save
as much as possible of the vines from
frost, which renders them unfit for
feed
The waste nuts upon the field and in
the soil, is another of the by-products
that becomes an important factor of
the domestic uses of the crop. These
go long way and save good many
barrels of corn in fattening the pork
supply of the peanut sections, and the
farmers count much on this item.
But there are other uses of the
festive peanut, that should not be over
looked-the peanut roasts," the pea
nut candy, chocolate pie and pone, all
homemade, the social gatherings
wherein peanuts in some delectable
form are prominent in the round of
festivity and fun. All things consider
ed, we doubt if the home uses of ehis
incompatible and unique staple do not
surpass in value and weight even its
commercial status. 1t is, in fact, an
all-round crop that is rapidly becoming
cosmopolitan. And its value as a
home product, for domestic consump-
ton and use upon the farms where
grown, is likely to exceed and eclipse
its other and former sphere as mon
ey crop.
Peanuts are grown extensively in
all Of the Southern states and in Cali
fornia, Oklahoma and Missouri. They
are also being grown in several of the
Border States from Maryland to ILL
nois, in Oregon, New Jersey, Della
ware, and in other Northern and West
tern states. They have crossed the Rio
Grande into Mexico, and are making
their way into Arizona and the arid
West, and are cultivated in gardens
as far north as Canada. In fact, pea
nuts can be grown in almost any sec
ton in this country, and it may be
said that they will succeed everywhere
that Indian corn succeeds There are
800, 900 acres of land in the United
States devoted to peanut culture The
annual crop is about 3oO,OOO,O 900
pounds.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-11-14

merely as a product for consumption
at home. Every part of the plant is
useful in one way or another, either
for feeding and fattening the domestic
stock, or for adding fertility to the
farm.
The opinion has been entertained in
some quarters that the peanut is an ex-
hausting crop. This is an error 1t
is only so when the method of farm
ing is such as takes the entire crop
plant and fruit-off the land, without
putting anything back to replace the
humus, nitrogen, etc., that has been alb
stracted The crop does not draw
heavily upon the fertility of the soil.
The plant is a nitrogen collector, and
having a strong taproot that penetrates
deeply into the subsoil, it collects much
of its mineral food from the layer of
earth beneath the surface soil. It does
not get the bulk of it's food material
from the surface through great mass
of fbrous roots, like corn. It draws its
stores from below, and gathers from
the air much of it's fertility.
Like clover, and other leguminous
plants having bacteria nodules upon
the roots, the peanut plant is greedy
collector Of nitrogen, carbonic acid,
etc., from the atmosphere, either
above or within the soil, and hence
may be utilized like clover in restoring
fertility to the soil The root of this
plant, in shape and manner of growth,
resembles the branching of an oak
tree, with a main root or stem that
penetrates deeply. Hence the plant
is good drought resister. It does not
send out lateral roots far into the SUR
face soil like Indian corn, therefore
fertilizers are best placed under the
plant in the row, rather than broad
cast. The roots have yellow color,
and perhaps might be employed in dye
ing.
Pound for pound, rotted peanut
vines are fully equal in value as fertil-
izer to the best stable manure. Wher-
ever peanuts are picked off in the field
and the shattered leaves, vines and de-
bris are left to decay, the corn or
other crop grown upon the spot the
next year will invariably show great
Improvement. Hence peanut growers
like to have as much of the crop IS
possible picked in the field.
This, then, is one of the domestic
uses Of the peanut crop, and very i'm
portant one, if properly utilized. AS a
feed and fattener of stock and poultry,
peanuts are worth more, acre for acre,
than field peas or corn. They not only
yield more food and more fattening
material to the animals, but the benefit
to the soil arising from the decay OF
the vines and roots is greater. In this
particular they equal, if they do not
surpass, clover itself Wherever tur-
keys, ducks, geese or chickens are
raised and fattened for the market; or
wherever pork, lard and bacon are
prominent staples in the farm routine
peanuts should be grown for consump-
ton upon the land, as there is no bet
