PLANT PEANUTS FOR SALE
May Is the Best Month for Plant
ing the Spanish Variety

The white Spanish peanut is tht
variety wanted by oil mills and
for which a good price is paid; the
proportion of meat to hull is great
err than in other varieties, and it
yields higher percentage of oil.
This peanut is grown successfully
in the area given over to the crop
throughout Florida, and its Gull
ture has proved profitable.
Some sections of the State will
grow peanuts for the market for
the first time this year, and many
inquiries as to the best time to
plant them have reached the Uni
versity Of Florida extension di-
vision. This recommendation will
answer the question:
"The Spanish peanut may be
planted anytime between April l
and July Is. Early planting will
undoubtedly give the heaviest
yield of nuts, but if planted early
the crop Will mature in July or
August during the rainy season.
time difficult to harvest them,
and even more difficult to cure
good hay. For oil production it
is preferable to plant in May,
which will allow the crop to ma
ture in September. BY planting
late, Spanish peanuts may follow
oats or other spring crops"
About two bushels of seed in the
pod will be needed to plant an a.
ere of Spanish peanuts. 1t is not
necessary to shell them even if
they are to be dropped by a plant
GER. On account of the thin shell
and small nuts, and because there
are seldom more than two kernels
in pod, planting in the pod is sat
isfactory. Planting in this way
does away with the tedious shell
ing.
Spanish peanuts are planted in
thirty-inch rows, with one plant

every six to eight inches in the
row. Except on very thin lana
ed thick as they cover the
peanuts do best when PLAN
ground quicker and check the
growth of weeds and grass. Since
they must be cultivated thorough
ly until the crop is set, too close
planting would interfere with Gull
tivation.
West Florida farmers plant nat
and cultivate in the same way.
They plant the whole nut with a
Cole plainview double planter, ana
seed from five to ten acres day.
Paintings are made on soil pre-
viously lined and thoroughly pre-
pared. One thousand pounds of
acid phosphate broadcasted prior
to planting has helped make the
largest yields. If the soil is de-
ficient in lime, from 400 to 500
pounds of land plaster per acre IS
applied to the crop just before the
plants begin to bloom.
The weeder is the superior i'm
plement for early civilizations.
One eight feet wide can be pulled
by one horse and twelve to fifteen
acres covered daily, making it
possible to tend forty to fifty a
cres with one implement. The
weeder is run at any angle across
the fields as soon as weeds or grass
begin to show, and the operation
may be continued until the plants
are of considerable size. Which
means that most of the weed seed
will have terminated and been
killed.

Washington Corbett

Joseph BOykin Washington, the
successful young farmer who re-
sides on Shell creek about SIX
miles east of town, carried another
excursion party to Boca Grande
last Sunday. This time, it ended
in great joy for him. A few
weeks ago, it will be remembered,
he took a party down to Boca
Grande and, on the return, his
propeller broke and the party was
out on the bay all night and next
day.
On this last excursion in his
launch, he took along Miss Lillian
Corbett and a few other friends.
They first visited Useppa and then
went to Boca Grande, where they
found Rev. G. F. York, pastor of
the Methodist church, and enlisted
his services. With his aid, ably
rendered, about 4:30 p. M, Joe
Washington and Miss Lillian Cor
bett were deity united in the holy
bonds of wedlock, after which
they returned in their launch to
|Punta Gorda and thence by auto
to the groom's home on Shell
Greek and partook of sumptuous
repast prepared by the groom s
mother, Mrs. B. c. Washington.
Next day, the happy couple came
into town and received the hearty
congratulations and best wishes of
their numerous friends.
This wedding was another mat
rimonial surprise to our social cir
cles, for, while it was known that
Mr.. Washington and Miss Lillian
were devoted to each other, no one
suspected that they would be mar
ried at an early date, But they
did exactly right, and The Herald
congratulates them in not indulg-
ing in that great nuisance, a
church wedding.
The groom, as stated In the be-
ginning, is successful farmer,
giving especial attention to rails
ing hogs, from which he has de-
rived neat income. With his
fine character and tireless energy,
he will take good care of his
bride. She is the eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Corbett and
is noted for her amiability, her
domestic traits and musical accom-
plishments. For a year or more
past, she has been the pianist of
the Plaza Theatre, whose patrons
will hereafter miss the delightful
music with which she treated
them.
The Herald extends to the
groom its sincere congratulations
!, and to the bride its heartfelt wish
es for a long life of unalloyed hap
pineSs.
Mrs. d. d. Saltzgaber chaper-
oned this party on their trip to
Boca Grande, and it is said that a
wedding results from every excur-
sion which she chaperones. In
consequence, all the young folks
wish to secure her services.

TO STABILIZE EXCHANGE
AND PREVENT SPECULATION

Rome, April 3O-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-No money
can now be sent out of Italy by means
of bank drafts unless the sender can
prove the absolute necessity for ,gs
doing as by the presenting of bills to
be paid. This is particularly true of
large sums of money. This is one
of the measures taken by the govern
ment to stabilize exchange and pre-
vent speculation in Italian money.
Exchange rates are also fixed by law
weekly, to prevent artificial fuctua-
tions.
According to Oscar T. Crosby, who
was recently here representing the
United States Treasury Department
in connection with efforts to assist
ltaly's finances, the real difficulty of
not only Italy but also England and
France is that they are in need of
American money to stabilize their ex-
change. What they need is dollars"
he said.
BY the plan of Minister of the
Treasury Nitti, so far as concerned
the Americans here who desire to
send money home for any reason, or
to any foreign country, they must fill
out in duplicate blank form provid-
ed by the bank selling them drafts
and on this blank they must give the
name of the person to whom money
is sent, with the exact reason. Per-
sons travelling may buy the money
of the country to which they are des-
tined on presentation of passports or
other papers.

cause of our country is near to my

We are willing to "HooveriZe" in
every way and if this terrible war
goes on, we must feed our men at

make suggestion that wheat clubs
be organized for next fall all over

plant as much as he sees fit,
but no less than an acre from
each individual member be planted.
and the proceeds be turned over to

oi'n JSTRY SUFFERING

DIG ~Lghai, March Correspond
ice of the Associated Press)-That
the silk industry of China is suffering
for want of governmental direction
and assistance and that such should
be forthcoming at an early date, is
the substance of resolution adopted
by members of the Foreign Silk AS
Sociation at a recent general meeting
in Shanghai.
| In view of the large amount con-
tributed by the silk industry in taxes,
such aid should be of substantial
| character, in the opinion of silk deal
ers, and the government is being APP
pealed to in that sense.
+. C. Byrne, chairman of the For
eign Silk Association, presided and
was supported by NJ. Knight, the
French commercial attache; Julean
Arnold American commercial at
tache; NJ. Muller; M. Nader, presi-
dent of the French Chamber of Com
merce, and others. The commercial
attaches and representatives of the
Chinese silk guilds promised coopera-
| ton.
The chairman in his address cited
| figures to illustrate the value of gov
ernment supervision of the industry
as projected in Japan. During the
season 1906-S, he said Japan exported
SO, ,ll0 bales against 7,553 bales ex-
ported from Shanghai For the rea-
son l9l6-l7 Japan's export was 226,-
$50 bales against 65,S47 from Shang-
hal.
From the figures" said Mr.. Byrne,
you will see that we have made but
little headway while Japan on the
other hand has gone forward enor-
lmouSly, and | am not including silk
piece goods of which China's export
is negligible in comparison with ia
pan.
'Not only Japan, but practically all
other silk producing nations" he con-
tinued, "have their governments as
guiding hands in sericulture. Ma
turally it will occur to us all, why
should we foreigners and Chinese put
our hands in our pockets to find funds
that the Chinese government should
provide?"
Out lining plans for the coming
year for Improvement of the indus
try, the speaker said:
"The schemes we have in view ma
turally depend on the funds provided,
but they will follow on the lines that
have been successful in other coun-
tries. This year we propose to as
sist and advise those experimental
stations that are already in existence,
and to buy cocoons and examine the
eggs on the Pasteur system by which
in 1919 we shall have supply that
can be guaranteed to be healthy and
provide worms that will not die in the
third or fourth stage, but live to pro-
duce cocoons of good size and quail
ity. The committee in charge con-
sist of representatives of the Chinese,
the French Chamber of Commerce
and the Silk Association and you may
depend no effort will be spared to
make the initial attempt success
and set an example for the future.
