PLANTING OF PEANUTS
Level System is to Be Preferred
 on We'll Drained Soils.
Runner Varieties Should Be Planted About 36 Inches Apart in Row and 16 Inches in Drill--
 Keep Rodents Away.

(By FLETCHER DAVIS, Texas Depart
 ment of Agricultural
 On well-drained soils, such as most southwest Texas soils, level planting for peanuts is to be preferred. Wheth- CT the level system or the ridge meth cd is to be 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 pod 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 2S inches in the row and 9 to 12 inches in the drill will suffice for the bunch va rieties. There are peanut planters on the market at from $1O to $2O that will drop the shelled peas of the larg- CT varieties or either the shelled peas or the whole pods of the Spanish va riety. It takes about 11a pecks of the larger varieties of shelled peanuts and one peck of the Spanish or 1A bush els of whole pods to plant an acre. Where the whole pods are planted, they should be soaked in water few hours-not long enough for them to spoil-and planted down in the moist soil before being permitted to dry.
 Keep Rodents Away.
 If there is liability of rodents de- aIe fc n oi 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 to poison the rodents before planting rather than seek to repel them in this way. The nuts should he planted in moist ground, but they need be covered to a 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, drag harrow can be run over the crop while 1t 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
 ,~1 Tc ox,ts the first and even the second blowing may be done by running sweep shal- low and close enough to completely cover up all the grass, weeds and even the peanuts. This operation, if done in time, will clean the rows by smoth- ering the grass and weeds. but the peanuts will come through to a per ,fect stand within A to AS hours. pro vided, of course. they are not covered

too deep, in which case, they may never come through. Frequent shall low cultivation with ordinary imple- ments to keep down weeds and main- tain soil mulch is all the cultivation needed Even this should cease when the plants begin to peg and by the last blowing, a gently sloping ridge or bed should be formed around the plants.
 Time for Harvesting.
 Do not be in too great hurry to harvest. When the vines begin to ripen, or turn yellow and the nuts do not rattle in the shell after being dried few days, blow them out with a potato digger, or turning blow from which the mold board has been re- moved, being careful to blow as shal- low as possible, without leaving any of the nuts in the ground. The nitro gen-bearing nodules are on the roots of the plant and the roots, for that reason, are more valuable left in the ground than harvested with the crop Allow the plowed-out nuts and vines to dry an hour or two and then stack in small well-ventilated stacks-pre- ferably around a small pole and off the ground few inches-and let them cure thoroughly for five or six weeks. Do not handle when damp from dew or rain and watch stacks to see that they do not heat or mold. The aver age yield per acre the country over Is tons of hay, but smaller yield should bring reasonable profit to the grow CT.
The Pulaskian., 1917-06-22

ly dug before full maturity, the sprayed fields do not have chance to develop full measure of return for the protection given by the spray.
 In dry seasons, especially, which are unfayorable for late blight, it is un- likely that spraying early potatoes in the South will be profitable. The av- craze experience of the past ten years from South Carolina to Norfolk does not present a strong argument for spraying. In Florida, there have been several years when late blight has pre- vailed and spraying has been profit able. Here the argument for crop 1n- surance is stronger, and spray apph- cations may be advised in number pro- portioned to the frequency of rain, but always thorough.
 In New Jersey, also, as conditions begin to approach those of the North, gains from spraying may be expected.
 Growers should see that pumps are in order and materials within reach. Watch the weather and the crop, and if conditions favorable to blight occur, spray with bordeaux mixture (blue- stone four pounds, lime four pounds, water fifty gallons). Apply thorough ly and at a high pressure. The pre- vailing prices for potatoes make such insurance of the new crop doubly de- sirable.

HOG CHOLERA IS NO
LONGER DREADED
State Veterinary Control Ser
vice Can Now Isolate
Former Fatal Disease

Eight or ten years ago there was
nothing l dreaded more to be called
upon to deal with professionally than
an outbreak OF hog cholera" said
DR.. Mack of the State Veterinary
Control Service. "All drugs and
medicines were worthless and no one
was able to render effective assist.
ance. Exposed animals died and u.s.
ually an infected herd was nearly or
entirely wiped out OF existence. All
that has been changed by the devel.
opment OF serum which viii pro
tect hogs against cholera.
Scientifically trained veterinarians
long believed II possible to develop
a potent hog cholera serum and
vast amount OF work was done In that
direction after the principle of serum
theTeapy was established. However,
all efforts failed until about ten years
ago. Or. NJ. Dorset and his associates
in the United States Bureau Of Ami.
mai Industry were the first to sue.
ceed AS soon as their discovery was
announced the work OF producing and
testing such serum was undertaken
By many institutions. The veterinary
department OF lie University of Ne
vada was among the fist to repeat
Dorset's work, beginning .heir studies
IN 1908.
"At first the serum was crude but
even then it's use was successful and
we soon demonstrated it's effective.
ness. AS result CT many expert
ments the serum has been satisfac.
torily perfected and it's cost reduced.
We no longer dread the appearance of
hog cholera. When an outbreak Is
reported we undertake it's suppression
az matter of routine and succeed.
The better the conditions. OF course,
the better the result.
Hog owners should report an out.
break promptly, as the earlier II is
dealth with. the less will be the loss.
The serum has but little curative
power, it's value being chiefly as n
protective or immunizipg agent The
state veterinary control service pro
duces all the hog cholera serum used
in Nevada and 1t is all used under Its
direction. II is sold at the cost Of
production. The quantity used Is de-
creasing from year to year as the dis
ease is being held well under con-
troll. Most OF the hog raisers of the
state now know that an outbreak OF
hog cholera can be quickly checked
and they are also rapidly learning that
outbreaks of hog cholera indicate bad
management on their part. There are
one or two localities where a consid'
erable number Of hogs are raised In
which the farmers have yet to learn
those lessons. We hope that the sit
uation will be less than II was In
those valleys where experience has
already taught that hog cholera need
not and must not be tolerated"

NEVADA RAILROAD COM.
MISSION MAKES PROTEST
AGAINST RAISE IN RATES

The Nevada Railroad commission
has forwarded to the Interstate Com
mcrce commission strong protest
against the proposed advance of
freight rates.
The principal grounds of the pro-
test are:
/. That the application is prema.
ture for the reason that ii is impossible
to foresee what the traffic conditions
will be during the next year or two.
,. That in any event Is per cent
upon the entire mass of freight traffic
is too much to be allowed merely by
way OF anticipation.
3. That a horizontal raise OF any
per centage will work grave injustice,
because no two railroads are situated
alike, and because, further, the rates
on some classes and commodities are
much higher relatively than the taxes
upon others.
4. That any raise at this time
would be unjust to the intermountain
states for the reason that they are
already subject to disadvantageous
! dinerential in favor of the coast
points. That to raise the rates uni
formly 10 per cent would increase the
dinerential and put the intermountair
states at still greater disadvantage
3. That rate in the intermountain
region are already excessive by com
parison with rates elsewhere; that
this is true upon both east bound
and west bound freight into this sec
tion of the country
| The protest concludes with an ur'
gent appeal for settlement OF the in
termountain cases by the total elm
ination Of all differentials against that
section before any adjustment IL made
the petition filed by the carriers for
an advance.
The commission is hopeful that this
course will be pursued.
