Expert Assistance.
In conclusion let me call attention
to the Importance of having an ex-
pert peanut man in every county that
IS going extensively into growing
peanuts. He may not be SO much
needed by the large farmers who are
in position to get information and as
sistance when necessary, but his ser
vices will be indispensable to the
small farmers who will need to be
shown and instructed constantly;
otherwise they will make many costly
mistakes which will tend to discourage
them and cripple the industry.
The government should be in
duced to furnish these men, if pos
sible. Otherwise, they should be put
on at the expense Of the community.
I am determined to have one for
Charleston county, if l have to pay
him myself.

and nlowing, can be saved by plant
ing peanuts flat and cultlvatlng shem
with a light weight weeder. SOME
successful peanut farmers tell me 1hat
thew start running the weeder across
their peanuts before they come up
and continue doing this, at least, once
a week until they are ready to lay by.
They run diagonaIFy, first one way
and then the other. This prevents the
GRASS from getting start, and unless
# is a wet season no hoelng IS re-
ouired, but the grass must be kept
down until the peanuts begin to bear;

How to Harvest.
The time of harvesting has much
! to do with the yield of peanuts, and
the method of harvesting has all to 40
with the quality. They are dug
three to four months after planting,
hut it takes an expert to tell exactly
the best time; that is, when the loss
ofnuts begins to exceed the gain. An
experienced eye can detect slightly
yellow cast that comes over the vines
at this stage, but the safest plan is to
examine the roots frequently.
The vines are usually loosened up
with a plow and then picked up by
hand and the dirt shaken out. Ihey

thirds of this, or $50 per acre, it WILL

No henpecked husbands among these

Of all. they never have anything to

it should apply only to grasshoppers.
The correct name for these most un-

seventeen-year cicada." During their
underground life their existence is I'M
suspected by anyone for seventeen
years, when, with perfect regularity,
millions reach maturity at almost the
same moment.
Without warning. an awe-impelling
company emerges. perforating the soil
with countless exits. These fascinat-
ing insects make their debut into air
and light the latter part Of May,
swarming over shrubs and trees-a
volunteer male chorus. chanting shrill
discord until the end of June.
While the males are singing their
incessant love song their mute wives
are depositing the eggs which are to
produce another generation. They slit

is more harmful to fruit trees than to
forest trees. It is often disastrous
to younger trees. -.-
In a few weeks the ant-like larvae
Matching from the eggs fall from the
wounded limbs and quickly burrow
out Of sight. In individual subter-
ranean cells, often several feet below

silent years, sucking the rootlets of
forest trees, rarely changing position
The parents at the end of their
short public career fall to the ground
perhaps to the same spot from which
they first crept into the bold sun
light; they die at the birth of their
young.
The best authorities hold that these
seventeen-year wonders are harmless,

every now and then we hear of some
one who insists that he is stung by
one and that the sting hurts.
They are twice the size Of a bee;
about an inch and a half spans the
wings. They are sluggish in their
movements. rarely fly and seldom II
ever eat after they come above the
soil.
Each periodical arrival finds them
diminished in numbers, due to the
clearing of forests by a growing civili-
zation. Sparrow policemen devour
nearly all that still venture in or
about cities. Tom cats have also
been seen to eat them with great
gusto.
