Mrs. H. D. Hill, who lives just south
of the city, brought a very interesting
plant to the Register office on Tues
day. 1t was a full grown peanut plant,
containing thirteen well developed
tubers, and it was raised by Mrs. Hill
in her garden. Twelve hills were
planted and eight Of them grew and
matured. The peanuts grow under
ground, like potatoes, and this was a
surprise to US, as we always enter
tanned the notion that they were pick
ed off the limbs of trees something like
our cottonwoods. The plants are the
first of the kind that we have heard of
being grown successfully in South Da-
kota, but now that Mrs. Hill has
demonstrated that they can be grown
they should become a common garden
crop. Mrs. Hill tells us that they were
not planted until the middle of June,
so if they are planted earlier in the
spring there is no danger of them not
maturing in years when the frost
comes considerably ooner than it did
this fall.
