Twenty thousand Indians have

an indirect profit may result in reduc-
ing the cost of Money Crop
Money Crop Gives Real Profit
1t is the Money Crop that gives
real profit TO the farm and a Money
Crop can only be { crop of a known
market value Immediately convertible
into money in any town at any time.
The problem of supplying the South
ern farmer with cash market f5r
other crops that would yield as much
or more profit than he derives from
the cotton crop, has engaged the at
tention of the farmer aid his friends,
and with the assistance of the Boil
Weevil, they have found solution of
the problem in Peanuts.
The Peanut
The Peanut crop offers wonderful
opportunities. 1t can be grown over
the entire South With profit.

There is a c0rstan, demand at a

ket that would be difficult to glut with
the peanut, for the reason that there
are five avenues Of profit
Five Avenues Of Protit
First: Pr gressivo oil mills through
out the South ale eager buyers OF the
Peanut and offer q spot cash mar
ket at very lemunerative prices. The
oil is in grea- demand.
Second: Thu MAJ and vines are a
splendid feed TOR cattle. producing a
quick growth Of firm and tender meat.
A profit in the sales Of cattle thus
fed and faltened is certainty.
Third: The best quality of peanuts

manufacturers of candy, OF peanut but

Gus growth and gain in weight and

corn, gives a firm meat with the fat
containing proper proportion OF
stearine for making good firm lard.
Feeding the whole nut TO the hog
is a mistake for two reasons: First,
the value or profit from the oil is
lost. and second, the oil of the nut
gives an excess of oil over stearine

iuce lard OF a proper consistency
Fifth: The Peanut, being a legume,
is 2 soil builder and adds nitrogen TO
the soil and works in splendidiy IN
rotation with cotton or corn, both OF
which are voracious feeders on nitro
gen and requiring clean culture, rap
idly deplete the soil of nitrates.
Proper Fertilization
Recanse it is legume, many peo-
pie believe that it requires no lertlh-
GERS and in this they are badly mis-
taken. Nitrogen gathering nodules
do not begin to form on the roots OF
the plant until the nut is two-thlrds
matured and if through lack or prop
er nourishment, the plant is allo"eu
to languish until this stage is reach,
cd The crop will be greatly curtalled
and profits lost. seo,,+
The plant requires sulhcleht
amount of nitrogen from quick acting
source to carry it TO the nodule 10TH
ing period while the presence IN sum
Gent quantities of phosphoric acid ana
notasb is essential during the growth
and maturity of the plant.
An auDlication of a fertilizer con

sloric acid. - to , per cent am

at the rate OF from 400 to 500 pounds

nuts and hay sufficient to return the
cost of the fertilizer and leave hano-

equal to the profit value of an acre OF
