These machines will do good WORK
on dry peanuts, but will leave them
on the vine if threshed when the
shocks are wet or damp. For this
reason one should not try to get
them off unless the peas are dry. IL
is almost impossible to get them OF,
either, until they have been dug AT
least three weeks, and q month or
more is better.
TIL machines also do better work
in colo weather than in warm. damp
weather. but this can be overcome
somewhat by speeding up the ma
chine when the peas are damp and
the atmosphere heavy. Too much
speed will shell the peas, and. OF
course, this will govern our speed.
