and, as rule, little later than corn. The Spanish variety may be planted later than the Virginia type, as it re- quires less time to complete it's growth.
 In most sections of the cotton belt the Spanish and similar varieties of peanuts may be planted after oats or other crops which come off early in the summer; that is, from the middle of June to the last of Juv. When growing the Spanish variety for hcg- feeding purposes it is a good plan to make three or four plantings, SD as to have the plants come to maturity at different times. The first planting should be made as early as possible and other plantings at intervals of three or four weeks until the first of July in the upper South and up to the last of July in the lower South. The best distance to plant peanuts varies according to the soil and varie- ty. The Virginia Runner variety on good soil should be planted 12 to 15 inches apart in rows at least 36 inches apart. Virginia Bunch peanuts are planted in rows 30 to 36 inches apart and 9 to 12 inches apart in the row. The Spanish and Valencia varieties are planted in rows 2S to 36 inches apart and 6 to 9 inches in the row. When growing the Spanish variety for feeding purposes it is advisable to plant the seed 6 inches apart in rows 30 inches apart.
 The quantity of seed required to plant an acre depends upon the close ness of the planting. As rule it re- quires F to pecks of shelled Virgi- mia and 1 F pecks of shelled Spanish peanuts, or to pecks in the pods, to plant an acre. On light sandy soils the seed should be covered F to ? inches and inch to 1i4 inches on heavy soils.
 A large part of the crop is planted with lhorse peanut planters. Some of these machines are designed for planting the Spanish and similar var ieties in the shell. Some peanut growers still plant by hand, opening the row with single shovel blow and dropping the nuts at the desired dis tance. The row is then covered by means of a small cultivator with a notched board fastened across the back oft he implement.

PEANUTS FOR LIVESTOCK

As already mentioned the peanut is a valuable crop for various types of live stock, especially hogs. Few, if any, crops will produce more pounds of pork on an acre of land or produce it at lower cost per pound than pea nuts. A 40-bushel crop of Spanish
 peanuts will produce 400 to 800 pounds of pork to the acre, and if the hay is harvested before the hogs are turned in it will pay for the cost of growing the crop. In addition to the profit on the pork, the crop producing capacity of the soil will be materially increas
 ed. By making successive paintings, as previously suggested, the earliest crop should be ready for the hogs by the first of August, and the last crop should be available until the ground freezes. In pasturing hogs on pea nuts it is best to confine them to small areas by using portable fences rather than to let them have the run of the whole field.
 In some of the Southern States the peanut is extensively used for plant ing between rows of corn, the peanuts usually being planted at the last cul- tivation of the corn. After the corn is harvested cattle are turned into eai the fodder and peanut tops. Follow ing the cattle, the land is pastured by hogs in order to clean up the peanuts. In this way the stubble and the roots of the peanuts supply huinus and most
 of the nitrogen stored in the nodules on the roots is left in the soil.
 In addition to growing peanuts to
 be fed in the field, the crop can be cured as described for a market crop and stored in sheds or barns for win ter feeding. The entire plant Is very valuable feed for nearly all classes of live stock and can be fed economical Ilv. For dairy cows the whole peanut
 plant makes almost balanced ration.
 Peanut hay, consisting of the entire plant after the nuts are removed, has
 much higher feeding value than any
 of the grass hays and about the same value as clover hay. A good crop of
 peanuts grown for market should
 yield ton or more of hay to the acre.
 When the peanuts are harvested
 for market hogs are usually turned into the field to glean whatever is left after digging. Many growers fatten

two hogs on each acre of peanuts so harvested.
 Hogs fattened exclusively on pea nuts will not yield a desirable grade of meat or lard, as the meat will be soft and the lard oily. By feeding all most exclusively on corn for the last two or three weeks of the fattening period this difficulty will be overcome. Sweet potatoes and peanuts together make good ration for hogs, the sweet potato furnishing the carbohy- drates and the peanut the protein and fat.

But water and climate is not the only thing

poets to gain success is the soil, and if he will
study the results that have already been achiev-

4 BOVE is shown a very comprehensive H.
1 lustration of the Great North Side Tract
of Southern Idaho, about which much has
been written and said, but the half has never
been told and never will be to the satisfaction
of those who have not had the opportunity tc
visit this section and learn for themselves the
great opportunities that are offered in this fer
tile Snake river valley.
AS will be noted from the above, the Great
North Side Tract is located in almost the ex.
treme southern part of the state, and is bound
ed on the south by the Snake river, which is &
main tributary of the Columbia river, and il
size ranks as seventh of the great rivers of tn,
continent, and waters more acres of land thar
any other river in the world Until within
few years ago the land which now constitute.
this great tract was looked upon as arid land
chiefly remarkable for the great size of its sag,
brush and its multitude of jack rabbits tha
were prey for the coyotes that roamed over tn,
valley.
Those accustomed to the sage brush plains
noting the huge size to which the brush grew
here were at once convinced of the re-
markable fertility of the soil, but the prob
lem of supplying the necessary moisture
to make the valley bloom was one that
required much study. close study of
the geographical features of the great
Snake river it traversed this section of
the state was the means of solving the
problem. AT point where the town of
Miner now stands it was found that by
impounding the waters there, they could
be distributed over vast territory by the
means of canals
Accordingly work was commenced on
the famous Miner dam which was COM
pleted at a cost of over one million dollars.
The next step was the construction of the
canals that were to distribute the water
so impounded over the tract. AT first this
seemed an almost insurmountahle task, as
the main canal running from the dam must
of necessity have very large capacity to
meet the requirements of the vast terri
tory it was sought to cover with it. The
construction of this canal involved the
most difficult rock excavations and the
building of miles of concrete and rubble
retaining walls. To illustrate the magni-

the tract varying in depth from 100 feet to 800
feet, from which is obtained the purest water
that can be found, the source of which is at
tributed to an underground stream that carries
the melting snow from the mountains, and this
theory is explained by the thousands of springs
that guSh from the sides of the canyon along
the river.
The history of any new country records the
fact that all who chose to take up their lot as
pioneers do not always meet with the success
that they had anticipated, and the same may be
said of this section. and perhaps in stronger
sense Irrigation was new to the vast majority
of the settlers who came here and it required
some time to learn Just how and when to use
the water. Not only did the settlers experience
their troubles, but the company came in for
their share of troubles as we'll. The canals were
new and difficulties were experienced the first
year or so in satisfactorily distributing the
water. But it is thought now that these trou-
bles are all at an end. as the settler has learned
by experience how to get the best results from
his land. which experience is of untold value
to the new conner.
