THE VELVET BEAN
BY J. M. SCOTT.

The velvet bean appears to have been
brought into Florida from some other
part of the world more than 80 years
ago. 1t has not been discovered whence
it came Several facts, such as the
close-fertilized flowers, and the pods
which do not spring open, mark it as
the product Of long cultivation, perhaps
in southeastern Asia. ct has been de-
scribed under a new Latin name) 1t
was under trial by the Florida Expert
ment Station in 1896, has since been
largely grown in Florida, and has been
sent all over the world under the name
of the Florida velvet bean. The last

wedding harrow. The Osborne peg
tooth harrow gives splendid satisfaction
when used in this connection. The plant
when small is brittle so will not permit
narrowing.
The cultivation is practically the same
as for corn and cotton. The soil should
be stirred to prevent baking, but deep
cultivation near the plant is apt to prove
injurious except when it is very small.
Surface cultivation gives the best re-
e'-lts if the soil has been we'll prepared
The practice of covering the plant with
dirt during fruiting season is not only
expensive but has been found to be in
furious to the plant
The little Spanish nuts may be har-
vested by pulling, but with the large
white varieties it is best to p1ow them out
then follow behind, shake off the dirt
ard turn nuts to the sun. After drying
for five or six hours they should be piled
in small cocks with the vines on the
outside After allowing to cure partly
in small piles they should be stacked.
A pole stack with some brush to keep
vines off the ground and with some
heavy grass to top it out has given good
satisfaction. Later they should be haul
ed to a shed where nuts may be pulled
or pounded off during bad weather, the
vines then stored for hay.
If planted early it is easy to produce
two crops year. Peanuts make a very
good catch crop with corn and fit we'll
into the rotation with oats AS a soil
builder peanuts come nearer equa1ling
cowpeas then any other crop we can
grow. From the standpoint of hay, pea
nut vines surpass timothy and equal
clover
The yield of peanuts varies from 80 to
80 bushels per acre, and as rule can be
marketed for from $I.25 to $I.5o per
bushe1. The Spanish variety is the best
and surest crop. An ordinary yield of
Spanish nuts at the McNea1 Experiment
Station, Mississippi has been 1,64o
pounds peanuts and 2,452 pounds hay
Der acre. While with the white kind a
single result gave 1892 pounds nuts
and $3.50 pounds of hay. The white
variety selects its soil with more care
than does the other, and often if condi-
tions are not right fifty per cent of the
pods will be empty. H. C. Service
Bureau.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-04-01

statistics show nearly thirty thousand
acres of this crop in Florida. Being kill
ed down by cold, and requiring long
season to ripen its seeds, it can only be
proftably cultivated in the Southern por-
ton of the Gulf States or still further
South in the tropics
The velvet bean is one Of the best
1egumes for growing in the rotation as
a soil renovator in sub-tropical countries
such as Florida. 1t covers the ground
and chokes down weeds, is not attacked
by root knot, and does not shed its leaves
when killed by. frost Tt Affords a
cheap protein feed, and gives good for
age for cattle in the late winter and
spring. Steers fed on velvet beans as
ere ingredient of balanced ration were
found to put on flesh at cost of about
7 I-2 cents a pound, which was cheaper
than three other rations not containing
velvet beans For milk production, less
than three pounds of velvet beans in the
pod were equal to one pound of cotton
seed meal costing as much as 5 pounds
of velvet beans. When fed exclusively,
or nearly exclusively, to horses and cat
tie, velvet beans, like other nitrogenous
foods, cause various troubles; which,
however, are avoided by feeding them III
a balanced ration. When given in large
quantities to pigs, the appearance Of the
fat has been affected.
For planting, the velvet beans should
be hu1led; and it will pay we'll to soft
out the best Seeds The seed should be
planted at dates varying from the mid
die of March for South Florida to the
middle Of April for North Florida. If
wanted only for hay, planting may b,
done until the beginning of July. A
quarter of bushe1 of good seed will
be enough for planting an acre. The seed
should be drilled in rows three feet
apart and at distances of 10 to IS inches
in the drill. The yield is increased by
planting corn or sorghum in alternate
rows, so that the velvet beans will climb
their stalks A good seed-bed should be
prepared by blowing thoroughly and
narrowing at intervals of ten days. No
fertilizer is necessary on ordinary land,
cultivation between the rows should be
nracticed until the vines have begun to
form The vines should be cut for hay
as soon as the young pods are we'll form
ed. The seed may be harvested in Dec
from December to March, Flowing TIA,
der should be done as early as possible.
One ton to one and a half tons of beans
may be expected per acre. About one
to one and half acres of velvet beans
will be enough to fatten one animal
The caterpillars that attack velvet
beans in Florida may be readily Destroy
ed by busting on Paris green at a slight
cost per acre The small amount of
Paris green is only enough to kill the
caterpi11ers, and will not produce any
poisonous effects on the cattle.

There is perhaps no other nut SO
generally known and SO universally useo
as is the peanut. To within the past
few years it's principal sale was to ven
ders and in confectionery stores. Where
ever few people were gathered to-
eether some ambitious boy filled the
air with the cry Fresh roasted peanuts
But now men have found other uses for
it, as an oil producer, for stock food,
and as a soil redeemer. About forty
per cent of the berry is oil it will pro
drce more pork, acre for acre, when used
as pasture in connection with corn THAI
cowpeas, rape, sweetpotatoes, or sor-
ghum and restores nitrogen to the soil
as do other legum1nOus crops.
Most seed companies list but two
varieties, the large white kind, Vir-
ginia White, Virginia red, and Tennes-
see white, Tennessee red which are used
largely for human food. The other
variety known as Spanish peanuts alc
used principally for stock feeding pur-
poses. They are smaller than the white
Species The uses of these varieties
are not confined as stated above
but may be interchanged. AS a
rule the Spanish peanut is a surer a1l~
heavier fruiter than the others, and
is not as particular about the condition
of the soil A bushel of Spanish pea
nuts weigh twenty pounds while the
white ones weigh twenty-five pounds.
The greatest degree of success in pea
nut growing is reached in light sandy
soil, not overly high in vegetable mat
ter, not necessarily high in nitrogen
content, for the peanut gathers most of
+hn
and containing a medium amount of
lime The lime will make the ground
friable, supply the calcium, and give
the peanuts a light color, which for
a commercial product is very import
art consideration. If the soil is lack
ing in lime it may be supplied at the
markable results.
This crop requires about the same
preparation of soil as do corn, cotton and
to seven inches and thoroughly harrow
ed will put the seed bed in splendid
condition.
The fertilizer to 1:A used depends on
the soil, but as The peanut is of the
1egume family it does not require q
nitrogen fertilizer In some cases, how
ever, highly n1trogenouS fertilizer
gives slight increase in hay production
but not in pods. Where it is found nee
essary to fertilize, the best results have
been obtained by using fertilizer dis
tributer just before planting the nuts.
The large nuts may be hulled and
dropped by corn or cotton planter or
by hand to suit the convenience of the
planter At the McNeal Experiment
Station, Mississippi the Spanish nuts
were soaked from SO to 48 hours
then dropped by hand in rows 2 1-2 to
3 feet apart, 10 to II inches in the row
and covered from one to two inches
deep. To prevent crust forming be-
fore the plant appears it is best to keep
soil stirred with a light smoothing or

upon the market when there is surplus,
or when money for handling the crop
