with grass. The shock Is allowed TO
stand until the peas and vines are
thoroughly cured.
Yield--A good crop IN any portion oi
Louisiana should yield from sixty-ilve
TO loo bushels per acre. The Expert
ment Stations have produced little
over 100 bushels per acre on a good
crop. The Arkansas Station reports
yields Of from ninety-fve 10 l72 bush
els per acre. Reports from small
farmers in north Louisiana Indicate
yields in that section OF from eighty
to 100 bushels per acre.
Preparation for Market--To be pre-
pared for the market the peas must
be separated from the vines and thor
oughly ridden OF the adherlng dirt. Va
rions mechanical devices are help
ful in this work Peanut threshers
are on the market and are said to do
satisfactory work.
Price-The price per bushel OK twen-
ty-two pounds varies from so to 80
cents. The average price for ten
years at Norfolk. Va, is said to be 65
cents per bushel.
Peanuts for oil Production-Pea-
nuts contain from 35 to so per cent
oil. Prime oil is said to be worth 65
cents per gallon. The lower grades
used for soap stock would bring a
much lower price, as they would come
into competition with the soap stock in
the form OF cotton seed Oil The residue
after the oil is extracted is a valua-
BILE stock feed and should bring from
500 to s25 per ton when the meats
and hulls are mixed. or from s25 to
$50 per ton when tho hulls are sepa-
rated before the oil is extracted.
Peanut Hay--Peanut hay. when well
cured is a most excellent forage. The
Louisiana Stations have shown that
peanuts are most excellent for fatten-
ing hogs. The Arkansas Station found
that one-fourth acre in peanuts pro-
duced 3l3 pounds of pork, while the
same amount of land in corn produced
only 100 pounds of pork. The Ala
bama Station found that hogs pas
turing on a peanut field made much
cheaper gains than on cowpeas, sweet
potatoes or sorghum.

Care Of Pot Plants

Plants in pots may be compared to
Gagged birds. both being in unnatural
conditions. Their requirements must
be filled, or results will be unsatisfac-
tory. A free bird, or free plant, hav-
ing the air or mother earth around
them, can resist winds and dust, and
dryness and many other things that
interfere with growth; but when in
cages or pots. they are entirely at the
mercy of those who own them. Birds
generally fare better than plants, for

Pot plants growing in exposed
places should have double pots or pot
covers, much injury being done by the
exposure of the porous clay of the
pots to drying influences. There are
certain plants that can bear exposure
to adverse influences, better than 9th
