duced in any country is in prospect
for this years harvest. Today's fore
cast of production, estimated by the
Department Of Agriculture, places its
size at almost 9OO,OOO,OOO bushels
in exact figures Sse,915,o 5,oOO-which
would make this years harvest worth
S2,O34, 100000 at the governments
price guaranteed of $2.26 a bushel.
Kansas is producing an enormous
crop, the forecast of production for
that being almost 22 per cent of the
country's total indicated output. Hi
nois has forecast of nearly 66,00o,-
900 bushels, Indiana about 56,000,-
600, Ohio 55,OO0,O00 and Oklahoma
slightly more than 54,000,000. ..
The acreage is the largest on rec

causes is extremely low, IL per cent

PEANUTS FOR PROFIT.

Scarcely a day passes that inquir-
les are not received relative to the
peanut industry in the South. 1t is
strange, indeed, that the southern
farmers have so long overlooked the
real value Of the peanut as a part OF
their cropping system and that the
present high market prices OF pea
nuts were necessary to awaken the
farmer to their opportunity. Nothing
has been found that will excel the
true Spanish variety for general cul-
tivation on southern farms. Great
difficulty exists, however, in procur-
ing pure seed. The only way that
the farmers of the South can be sure
of a high-producing strain Of pure
Spanish is by growing seed patch
from specially selected seed.
Thirty-six pounds of clean Spanish
peanuts in the she'll will plant an
acre, and a one-acre seed patch, If
properly handled, will produce
enough seed to plant about 30.-acres
the next year. With this fact before
them, it should be a comparatively
easy matter for the peanut growers
to get on the right basis, so>far as
the seed supply is concerned. The
stock seed for planting the seed acre
should first be carefully selected in
the pod, then shelled by hand, and
the shelled peas again carefully gone
over, and all that are off color or in
ferior either III size or shape should
be discarded. y -;
A few years Of proper selection
will give the farmer a strain of seed
peanuts for his conditions, that can
not be had from any other source.
By this method, together with proper
cultural practices and crop rotation,
the yield per acre can be greatly in
creased. About the only method
whereby-the farmer can hope u
make. a,profit is by cutting down pro-
duction costs through increased
yieldgper acre. r>The future of the.
peanut industry in the South is al
most without limitations and '-,the
farmers who get into the business on
the fright basis are going to obtain
the highest profits. - - &. u.
