in the middles between the burrows
and it is advisable to run spring
tooth or peg harrow up and down
these middles, so as to free seed beo
from clods and grass or weeds. Eth
er before, or at the time of planting,
the fertilizer to be used is put down
with an ordinary distributor in a fur
row made with a five inch shovel

Experiments have established the
fact that three or four hundred
pounds of acid phosphate, and half
as much ammonia in some form, is
most profitable. Five or six hundred
pounds per acre of standard ferti-
lizer should make a good crop of
peanuts, if lime in some form is also
used 1t is necessary to use lime in
some form, and experience has de-
termined that there is no better form
of lime than land plaster for peanuts.
If lime is not used, the crop may con-
tain a large number of half filled
nuts, or there will be lots of pops;
shells without kernels. The writer
believes that the best form of lime
is Phospho Land Plaster, and this
belief is founded partly upon per-
sonal experience, partly upon letters

section for years have harvested pea
nuts for sale. On the farms of Mr..
John H. Cope, the we'll known banker
and cotton mill man, of Bamberg,
white Spanish peanuts have been
planted following oats, in the regu-
lar rotation of crops, and as evidence
that these crops are profitable, it
leeds but be said that although cot
ton has been bringing 80 cents to 35
cents per pound, Mr.. Cope has ad-
hered to his usual system.
We will subdivide the subject of
peanuts as follows: A. Preparation
of seed bed. B. Planting and culti-
vation. C. Harvesting. D. Mar
keting. E. Miscellaneous.
A. Preparation of seed bed. The
land to be planted in peanuts is
broken with a two horse plow early
in the winter, January or February.
Some time before time to plant the
seed nuts, rows are laid off with an
eight inch round point or shovel plow
These rows are usually three feet
apart, although some farmers prefer
the rows only two and one-half feet
wide when planting the white Span
ish variety of nut. The nuts are not
to be planted in these burrows, but

recounting experimental work, and
partly upon what other users of land
plaster have told him. There are
many farmers who state that by using
land plaster they make sound, full
peanuts, but make pops where not
used. My personal experience in the
use of land plaster may be of interest
to farmers, for it was used on my
farms largely in the place of acid
phosphate, and this fertilizer seems
very hard to secure this year. Until
1918 the usual mixtures of fertilizers,
including acid phosphate, were used,
with varying degrees of success, but
in that year, half of the acid was
dropped from the mixture, and land
plaster used instead. The fertilizers
used for cotton per acre were: two
hundred pounds of acid, four hun
dred pounds of meal, and four hun
dred pounds of land plaster, with a
top dressing of nitrate of soda. The
land plaster was used on the advice
of a farmer living in Orangeburg
county, who had experimental with
it.
In the fall of 1918 the largest crop
ever grown on these farms was har-
vested. One farm made 125 bales of
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1919-11-20

cotton, and the largest preceding crop
was "a bales.
In 1919 no acid was used, and the
second largest crop ever made on
these farms is being gathered. AS
acid may be difficult to obtain, this
information about land plaster is Civ
en- for what it may be worth.
Undoubtedly peanuts may be made
by using some standard fertilizer, or
by using acid and some form OF
ammonia and lime in liberal quanti-
ties. If land plaster is used, put
half under the crop mixed with the
other fertilizer, and broad cast the
balance on top of the plants just as
they begin to flower and send down
"pegs."
Any amount will do some good, but
from five hundred to eight hundred
pounds of land plaster, and about
five to six hundred pounds of mixed
fertilizer, per acre, probably will be
most profitable
B. Planting and cultivation. In
response to inquiry the farmers of
Alabama almost without exception,
stated that the Cole Peanut planter,
equipped with peanut plates, proved
most satisfactory, cracking less seed,

and giving the best stand. Plates
for planting either shelled or unshell-
ed nuts may be obtained
The farmers seemed to be divided
as to the advisability of planting
shelled and unshelled nuts. If the
nuts are planted in the shell, they
should be soaked in water for twenty
four hours preceding planting. If
shelled nuts are to be planted most
of the Alabama farmers seemed to
think that hand shelling injured less
nuts and gave better stand than was
the case with machine shelled. nuts
although there may be machines that
will do the work satisfactorily.
The actual planting is done with
planter, following sweep that is run
fiat over the fertilizer furrow. This
makes the seed bed in a slight de-
preston, and as previously stated, it
lies between the burrows that are
made with the eight inch shovel
plow.
If white Spanish nuts are planted
the rows may be either thirty or
thirty-six inches wide, and the nuts
are planted eight to twelve inches

Technically Henry Ford won his

Technically Henry Ford won his
damage suit brought against the Chi
cago Tribune for characterizing him
as an anarchist. The suit was brot
for one million dollars damages, but
the jury awarded him six cents. Un-
der the Michigan laws where the case
was tried, a verdict carrying only
nominal damages does not carry with
it costs of suit to exceed $50. While
the charge of anarchy was not proven
Mr.. Ford has in reality suffered vast
ly more damage from the trial than
he did by the statement made in the
newspaper. Mr.. Ford had made a
great success as a manufacturer and
business man, and was esteemed as a
man of unusual ability. His ambi-
ton led him into politics and he
sought seat in the United States
senate. He started newspaper, and
with the aid Of hired brains set out
to reform the world. This aspira-
tion brought his ability to broader
test. At the trial, in defending him
self against the charge of anarchy,
his ideas on matters of public inter-
est. and his general knowledge were
tested. This test revealed the fact
that Mr.. Ford, in these matters.
does not measure up to the average
child of twelve years. As a manu-
facturer he will still be esteemed,
but as public leader, in all matters
that require information or thought,
this trial has put him out of the race
forever.

The Supreme Court Of this state
has just decided a case of more than.
usual interest as it involved the valid
ity of the amendment to the Cpnstltu-
tion, recently adopted and commonly
known as Amendment e. This
amendment struck the word ssmale'
from Section z of the G. Institution
and eliminated the provision which
conferred the right of suffrage upon
residents who had declared their in
tention of becoming citizens.
Karl Schmidt of Kaylor vas a can
didate for Sheriff of Hutchinson coun-i
ty at the last general eiec,ian and at
the beginning Of the year. took pos
session of the office, claiming Thy
virtue of the fact that he had received
more votes than his opponent. Karl
is net a citizen of the United States
as he was born in Russia and has not
received his second papers. The stat
ute provides that every county officer
must be an elector of his county, and
the Constitution, as amended, pro-
vides that person must be citizen
before he car be an elector.
An action was brought in the Cir
cult Court of Hutchinson county to
determine Schmidt's right to hold the
office. The we'll known law firm Of
Kirby, Kirby & Kirby of Sioux Falls
appeared for Schmidt and raised the
question of the validity of the adop-
tion of Amendment "E". Their con-
tenticn was that the Legislature, in
passing the resolution submitting the
amendment. did not comply with the
provisions of the Constitution which
prescribed The manner in which it
can be amended. They claimed that
the proposed amendment was not pub
lished for twelve weeks before the
election as the constitution requires,
and that the title to the resolution.
as it was voted on by tins people,
was not the same as when it was
passed by the Legislature; that the
word "repealiug" to the right of
suffrage. which appeared in the reso-
luton as it passed the Legislature,
had been changed to read, relating"
to the right of suffrage They con.
tended that the Constitutional require
ment that the resolution should be
signed by the presiding officers of
each house, was not complied with
because those officers Endorsed their
names on the back of the resolution
instead of signing it at the bottom
The attorneys for the State contended
that there had been a substantial com.
pliance with constitutional require
ments, both in the"passage of the res.
olution and in the adoption of the
amendment. The Circuit Court held
that the amendment was legally adopt
ed. An appeal was taken to the Su.
preme Court and an opinion has just
been handed down by the Court affirm
ing the decision of the lower Court
and directing it to enter a judgment
of Custer against Schmidt.
This case has attracted considerable
interest as this is the amendment
which conferred the right of suffrage
upon the women and that right would
not now exist if the Supreme Court
had adopted the views of Schmidt's

which would make the Plumb plan
even more disastrous TO the public in
terest than the plans that prevailed in
European countries. The Journal says:
Among the charges made against
the railroads by the sponsors of the
Plumb plan is that they are overcap.
italized. This has been the accepted
impression of the public for SO long
that repeating the charge is almost
proving it. But facts do not bear out
the contention. In many of the coun-
tries of Europe the railroads are what
might properly be termed socialized;
that is, they are owned and operated
by the government. The following
