good filth should be given. Peanuts do
not start or grow very rapidly, and It
is advisable to kill as many Of the
weeds as possible before planting
them.
Spanish peanuts are planted in the
pod. They should be soaked for about
thirty-six hours just before planting.
Treated in this way the peanuts will
terminate much more readily, and the
chances of securing stand are in.
creased. Peanuts should not be
planted until the ground warns up
thoroughly, usually about the last Of
May or the first OF June. They should
be planted in rows three feet apart
and twelve to fifteen inches between
hills in the row. Planted at this dis

For western Kansas, level planting
in shallow lister burrows is recon.
mended, while surface planting would
probably be preferable for eastern
and central Kansas. II special ma
chinery for seeding this crop is not
available it will be necessary TO plant
the seed by hand or with corn drill
or lister. If the drill or lister is used
a special plate will have to be made
for this purpose. Take blank plate
and have holes bored to fit the seed
and drop 1t at the desired distances
This plate must be a thick one. In
planting by hand shallow eurrcw
should be marked out, the peanuts
dropped and covered Immediately. Do
not let the soil dry out. Under no
circumstances should peanuts be
planted in dry soil. They should be
covered about two to three inches
deep.
Cultivation of the peanut crop
should begin Immediately and con-
tinue until the pods begin to form.
After that time they should not he
disturbed. Frequent and shallow cul-
tivations give best results. During
the later civilizations the soil shohld
be worked toward the plants, to pro-
vide a bed Of loose earth in which
the pods may form.
The peanuts should be harvested
before danger of frost. The usual
method of harvesting is to plow the
vines out and separate them from
the soil by hand. An ordinary plow
with the moldboard removed is a very
satisfactory implement to use for this
purpose. The vines should be placed
in small cocks to cure. They should
be stacked later

YF SPANISH peanuts prove to be
as profitable a crop to grow in
Kansas as some energetic, enthu-
siastic writers are declaring the
state will be fortunate. Spanish pea
nuts are a very small-podded variety
and have made good in western Texas
and parts of Oklahoma where the rain
fall is low and growing conditions lit
tie better than they are in western
Kansas. Peanuts seem to have the
ability to produce fairly well under
low rainfall. They are a legume,
and therefore leave the soil in good
condition for succeeding crops. In as
much as western Kansas needs a
greater diversity of crops, especially
