PLANTING OF PEANUTS
Level System Is to Be Preferred
on WeII-Drained Soils.
Runner Varieties Should Be Planted
About SO Inches Apart in Row
and 16 Inches in Drill
Keep Rodents Away.

by FLETCHER DAVIS. Texas Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
On well-drained soils, such as most
southwest Texas soils, level planting
for peanuts is to be preferred. Wheth-
er the level system or the ridge meth
cd is to he preferred, however, is best
determined-as in the preparation of
the SOil-by the man on the ground.
They may be planted any time after
the danger of frost is passed up to
about May 20 for the large poi vari-
cites or July 10 for the Spanish. The
runner varieties should be planted
about 36 inches apart in the row and
16 inches in the drill, while % inches
i'm the row and 9 to l. inches in the
drill will suffice for the bunch va
rieties. There are peanut planters on
the market at from $40 to $40 that
will drop the shelled peas of the larg-
er varieties or either the shelled peas
riety. 1t takes about l u pecks of the
larger varieties of Shelled peanuts and
one peck of the Spanish or Ia bush
els of whole pods to plant an acre.
Where the whole pods are planted,
they should be soaked in water a few
hOurs-nOt long enough for them to
SpOil-and planted down i'm the moist
soil before being permitted to dry.
Keep Rodents Away.
If there is a liability of rodents de-
stroying the seeds, it is claimed by
some that they can be protected by
dissOlving a five-cent bar of laundry
soap in boiling water and stirring
thoroughly into this half pint of coal
oil and then mixing this hot prepara-
ton with sufficient quantity of cool
water to soak two bushels of peanuts
in the hulls. This preparation should
not be used on shelled peanuts, and it
is better 10 poison the rodents before
planting rather than seek to repel
them in this way. The nuts should
be planted in moist ground, but they
need be covered To depth varying
from only three-fOurths of an inch in
heavy soils to two inches in light
sandy soils.
If the soil shows tendency to bake
or is becoming foul with weeds or
grass, IL drag harrow can be run over
the crop while it is young or just com
ing up, being careful, of course, to set
the teeth of the harrow so as not To
tear the plants out of the ground, or
where soil is loose and lOamy and F.

6ayonet by No Means Obsolete.
