HARVESTING A PEANUT CROP
Among Methods in Use Is That of Merely Flowing Plants From
 Ground With Turning Plow

Various methods of harvesting pea nuts for the market are practiced. In many cases the plants are merely plowed from the ground with a one horse turning blow, and afterwards separated from the soil by hand. An other and very common method is to remove the moldboard from a turn ing blow and run the plowshare under the row at each side at a sufficien, depth not to sever the pods from the vines. The side from which the mold board is removed is kept next to the row. The plants are lifted by hand or by means of forks, and the dirt ie shaken from them. They are then thrown in small piles to dry. The po tato digger may be used in harvesting peanuts.
 As soon as the plants have dried sufficiently, which requires about three or four hours, they are put in small stacks. Poles about seven feet long are driven securely in the ground Around the base of each pole a few pieces of short poles are placed to keep the peanuts off the ground The peanuts are stacked with the vines out and the nuts in next to the pole. The stacks should be made rather slender and tapering toward the top to shed water. Every stack is usually capped with grass to protect the nuts.
 Peanuts should not be picked from the vines until the pods have become dry and the peas firm. A better grade of peanuts will be obtained if harvest ing is deferred until late autumn.

Three ideas are uppermost in the minds
OF these men and of the directors of the
Eastern States exposition. under whose
auspices the conference will be held The
social and economic needs of New Eng
land, what has been done in an organized
way to meet those needs, and the great ne

vanced ideas from the progressive com
, munities to those that are not vet awake
to their possibilities

stripped ike endeavors elsewhere in the
country. The New England Farm and
Business Union will be designed to rein
