TIE SPANISH PEANUT.

A good many Of our farmers are
having a damper put on their zeal for
the growing Of the Spanish peanut.
This has been an exceedingly bad fall
for the handling of this important crop
that is, IL one intended to thresh
and dry the nuts.
While harvesting and threshing the
nuts for selling on the market can be
made very profitable, yet think the
better way is to let the hogs do the
harvesting; thus selling the nuts in
the shape Of pork.
If hogs are used as harvesters OF
this crop, the risk of loss by bad, wei
weather is very largely eliminated.
In eastern Oklahoma at least,
should never plant a larger acreage
than / thought could afford to fence
hog tight, in case of necessity
At tn present time | have is pigs
working at my next crop and they are
doing splendid job Of it.
am getting the full benefit of the
crop. for previous to allowing the pig;
to dig them. | pastured the tops by
the cows and in spite of the wet wealth
er, there will be but little loss.
Now Brother Farmer. II you have
just about given up the Spanish pea
nut crop, say don't despair. II is en-
tirely too valuable for our States ag
riculture and most of us need legum
inous crop too badly to pass this on'
up. Try an acreage that you will b'
able to harvest with your cows ant
hogs and in spite of bad fall weathe
for harvesting such crop as ordinar
lily harvested. this plan will afford yol
way out for the profitable handlini
of this important Oklahoma crop.

FARM BUTTER.

No one can be sure of good market
for butter at the grocery store and
those who must depend upon the groc-
cry store for market would do well
to either sell sweet or sour cream az
the creamery or look for special mar
ket. There is considerable work con-
nected with the manufacture of but
ter on the farm and unless there are
enough members of the family to do
the work conveniently without making
it drudgery for part OF the family then
it would be better If the making OF
butter on the farm were left undone.
Where any kind of work becomes a
drugdery 1t ceases to inspire the best
workmanship and that Is what counts
for profit or loss. The natural con-
ditions and surroundings will also play
an important part In deciding whether
1t is advisable to make butter on the
farm. 1t is almost impossible to
make good butter on the farm with
out plenty of good cold water or ice.

SUDAN GRASS.

Seven farmers OF Lubbock county,
Texas, last spring planted an aggre-
gate of 25 acres OF Sudan grass. This
has been threshed and has yielded g.
234 pounds, or about $40 pounds an
acre.
Some farmers received as high as
600 pounds an acre, others slightly less
than 800. The price has reached as
high as $1.iO pound, the average be-
ing about 800. The reason for this
high price is the small acreage planted
throughout the counrty and the great
demand. Lubbock county probably
has more seed than all the rest of the
country.
Hundreds of acres will be planted
next year, not only because 1t is ex-
pected that there will be big demand
for the seed, but because the hay has
been proved to be one of the best hays
for semi-arid countries. 1t needs lit
tie rain, and ordinarily can be cut
three times season. producing about
a ton and half a cutting to the acre.
The feeding value is equal to Johnson
Grass, which is second only to alfalfa.
but unlike Johnson grass. Sudan grass
must be planted each year, and never
becomes a pest

IMPORTANCE OF HOG INDUSTRY.

Considering the fact that Oklahoma
is well adapted to hog raising and
that the people of Oklahoma are such
large meat consumers. there is no
good reason why they should not raise
their own meat and have some to sell
instead OF having to buy the greater
portion of what they use. There are
several reasons why they should at
least produce enough meat for home
consumption.
/. The climatic conditions are al
most ideal for pork production. Mild
winters and long growing seasons af-
ford green pastures nearly all the year
round that are leguminous in charac-
ter and best promote the fattening of
the pigs.
2. Feeds like corn, kafir or peanuts
can be easily and cheaply grown when
mixed with tankage. shorts, OF other
feeds which can easily be obtained
and make the best feed for growino
and fattening hogs.
3. Cheap lands and abundant
streams in the state are favorable for
the production Of pork
4. Fecundity of the hog An aver
age SOW two years old will produce
three litters in two years, giving from
eight to ten pigs year. These pigs
can be made to weigh from 1SO to 200
pounds each at a cost of not over I
cents pound. This will give profit
OF from IS to Sc on each pig.

ma is far greater than can be met at

FARM NOTES.
} . . . . . ; . . . . > .

II is perhaps one OF the ironies of
fate that commissions, boards and spe-
cial investigators-oft more ro-
mantle than practIcal--sent out by tho
government, organizations or philan-
thropists, invariably conclude that the
farmer is an incompetent. Then there
are agricultural adventurers that
frighten us with phrophesies of hun
ger, mischievous statisticians that ar
que the decadence of agriculture, and
the theorists with the cure-alls; all ct
them deploring the incapacity Of the
farmer. Such is not the case. The
American farmer OF. today is the most
Capable workman in the history Of the
worlds agriculture.
The farms of the United States pro-
duce annual farm value greater than
any other agricultural country on the
globe The American farm is the larg-
est, 1t is true, but the final test OF a
successful producer is net receipts to
each farmer and that Is In favor OF the
American plowman.
There has been very steady in
crease in the value of products on
the farm in the United States during
the past 80 years. Not as great a. i'll
crease as other lines of industry yer
haps. but we compare favorably with
the farmers Of other nations. The rec
ord by decades is as follows: The av-
erage farm produced in 1890, s5sS; in
1900, 1922; and in 1910. $1,SS6. We
also show during this period an in
crease of over million farms.

PIGS AND PEANUTS.

Dry weather and hot winds will
have no terror for the Oklahoma farm
er who adopts the motto of pigs and
Peaunts."
The drouth this season has demon
strated, says the Duncan Eagle, that
peanuts will thrive better during the
dry hot season than even kaffir corn
and the peanuts have still further
advantage inhaving far greater food
value than either corn or kaffir.
The highest price pork on the mar
ket, says the Oklahoma Farmer, is
from the peanut fed hogs. and the ham
from peanut fed hogs brings 10 to Is
cents pound more than the ham from
corn fed hogs.
The peanut hay will run from one
half to one ton per acre, and is al
most the equal of alfalfa in food val
ue. Farmers who raise peanuts and
hogs can have the hogs harvest the
crop If they desire to turn them into
the peanut field, or they can put the
peanuts, vines and all with little
corn or kaffir into silo which makes
richer silage than either alone.
Thousands OF farmers in Oklahoma
need to adopt the motto of Pigs and
Peanuts"
The time to plan a pig and pea
nut campaign is now Splendid seed
peanuts viii be offered for sale soon
and the farmers of Oklahoma who Sc
lects high class nuts for seed win be
ready in the spring to plant a cror
that never fails in Oklahoma.

The silo has done much to advance
better agriculture and the use of la
bor-saving implements and machines
on the farm. When a silo Is erected
and filled, the owner usually wants
better stock, better implements, bet
ter barns and better-tilled farm.
Those who took the precaution to
break their land deep early not only
have the satisfaction Of storing up
moisture, but many who have rather
rolling land doubtless have saved
much loss in washing. With the
abundance of rain we have had so far
this fall, some have been heavy and
in sufficient volumes to wash. On un-
plowed land this means that much
of the rain will run off, carrying the
top soil containing the most fertile
part-humus plant food and unde-
cayed vegetation.
There is a general tendency now
among farmers to keep a better class
OF farm animals. The high prices Of
stock of all kinds have been an in
centive toward keeping a better quail

thFes possible out Of the feed con-
suned. The discrimination in quail
ity grows closer and closer with the
buyer as prices advance. The breeder
OF pure-bred stock Is also assisting
in this work OF improvement by GULL
I ing more closely In the males he re-
serves for sale as breeders.
