FERTILIZERS FOR
PEANUTS
Phosphates, Potash and Lime Most
Needed

The peanut will be one OF the mos
popular crops with the farmers thi.
year, and as planting time is about
here, numerous requests are coming
in to the Extension Division of the
College of Agriculture for informa.
tion on the best fertilizers for this
crop. The following general recon-.
mendations are being given:
The fertilizer should be thoroly
mixed with the soil before planting
and it would be a good policy to run
the planter just by the side of the
drill containing the fertilizer rather
| than plant in the same row as the
tender peanut sprout is easily
damaged by coming in direct contact
with the fresh acid fertilizer. The
fertilizers most necessary arc phos-
pilates, potash and lime. The appli-
cation of 800 to 400 pounds of acid
phosphate and 100 to $50 pounds of
kainit per acre will be sufficient for
suitable soils that have been properly
prepared. In case the soil is def
cient in organic ammonia and lack
ing in humus, 100 to 200 pounds per
acre of blood and bone added to the
mixture will be profitable. The fer
tiliz2r should be applied before the
crop is planted. After the ground
has been plowed, broadcast the fer
tilizer over the surface and then
work it into the soil with a harrow
or disk.
Stable manure may be applied for
peanuts only when we'll rotted and
then in limited quantities. Heavy
applications of fresh stable manure
applied at planting time will produce
heavy tops and small yield of nuts
An application given to thin sandy
land long enough in advance of
planting to insure thoro mixing with
the soil is beneficial and improves
conditions by adding organic nitro
gen and humus, both of which make
soil conditions more favorable for
the nitrogen gathering bacteria.
Peanuts thrive best on limestone
or mari soils and even these are fire.
Cuently D2nehted by the addition OF
lime. An application of two or three
tons of ground lime rock to the acre
will have a beneficial effect Part
of this lime will be taken up by tho
plant as fertilizer, but the greatest
benefits will come from sweetening
the soil and improving its mechanical
condition. In case the lime is not
applied in the fall, which is the best
time, hydrated lime, at the rate of
500 pounds per acre just before
planting, should be used in prefer
ence to ground lime rock The hy-
drafted form is more active than
ground limestone and will begin to
neutralze the acidity in the soil a.
once, and the peanut plants will get
its benefit while they are small.

Under the direction Of J. S. May
tree artist, force has begun the
planting of oak and bay trees along
the Pershing Triangle between De-
Land aand New Symrna. The trees
are being set 200 feet apart on each
side of the road, being staggered, "
thus making them little over 100
feet apart, and requiring So trees to
the mile. The trees are set 10 feet
from the brick road, which will pre-
vent destruction of the brick GurfaC
by roots, or the girdling of the trees
(perhapS) by careless drivers. No
attempt will be made to complete the
entire 63 miles this year, but it is
hoped to get a good start on the
work, and to finish the memorial to
our soldier dead as fast as funds will
permit from year to year.

When Planting Cane Remember:

Two or three main factors in the
profitable production of cane should
not be overlooked. First, we'll
drained soil. Second, a thoro prepa-
ration of seed bed before planting.
High-grade seed should be used
with well developed buds, and should
be planted about five feet apart.
The fertilizer should be broadcasted
at the rate of about half ton per
acre. A good fertilizer for this crop
is one analyzing 3 per cent nitrogen,
5 per cent phosphoric acid, and to
8 per cent potash.

LEGUME CROPS SERVE DGUBI Il
PURPOSE
They Improve the Soil and Furnish
Good Feed.

In putting in the field crops foI
this year, Florida farmers should not
forget to put in as large acreage as
possible to some leguminous crop or
crops. There are a number of lc-
gumes well adapted to conditions in
this state, but probably there is none
better than the velvet bean. Prof.
John M. Scott of the Experiment Sta
tion urges the farmers to plant velvet
beans along with the corn. The
yield of corn will be reduced but
slightly, and experiments at the
station show that the yield of velvet
beans is greater when planted in
every other row of corn than when
planted in field by themselves.
Another important legume is the
peanut This is important not only
as hay crop but as grain for fat
tening hogs. Last year large acre
age of peanuts was planted along
with the corn, either in every other
row or between the hills in the row. |
This furnished an excellent feed for |
hSSoJ anu III illOoI CdStS was vest
ed by the hogs.
The cowpea and beggarweed are
legumes that are well worth growing
as hay crop. Prof. Scott says that
If they are grown for no other pur-
pose than as a soil improver they
will more than pay for the cost of
production.
Where possible to do so every acre
Of land should be growing some le-
sume crop.
