TWO POUNDS PEANUTS

Auburn. Ala, Jan. 30.-An average
Of 1S4 pounds Of peanuts plus await
able forage, produces one pound OF
pork Such is the result OF tests
made by the Alabama experiment
station and REPORTED in the recent is
sue of bulletin No. %.
The experiments were conducted
with the view OF ascertaining wheth-
or it is more profitable to gather and
market crop of peanuts in the usu-
al way or to Craze the crop with hogs
to sell as pork The result OF this
years tests shows an average gain
of $2490 per acre by grazing the
crop with hogs over the amount Sc
cured by selling on the market and
saving the labor OF harvesting.
The tests were made on the farm
of r. r. Martin. of Union Springs,
who furnished the hogs. equipment
