THE THRONE OF KING COTTON
May Be Occupied For Time By Worthy Consort-
Peanut Growing Profitable In Cotton Belt

land that is in the least sour, from one
to two tons of pulverized limestone per
acre should be applied broadcast after
the land is plowed and thoroughly
mixed with the soil by harrow.
DIR. Long says 1T is necessary to
lime the soil for peanuts, unless it Is
definitely known that there is an
abundance in the soil. In this state
at least 1000 pounds of burnt lime or
1000 pounds of ground limestone
should be used per acre"
Balanced Faatlons.
Peanuts require phosphate as well
as lime, but It should be borne In mind
that neither of these elements can be
omitted under average conditions, and
in the coastal plains regions potash
should be included. One element may
help, but it's the combination that
brings big results. A balanced RAJ
tion" is as necessary for plants as for
animals.
Market For Peanuts.
Most farmers have q fair idea of
the market for peanuts for roasting
and for the manufacture Of various
products, such as salted peanuts, pea
nut candy, peanut butter, ETC., but less
is known concerning the Importance Of
this product in the manufacture Of
vegetable oils. With the coming short-
age Of cotton seed from. which to make
oil, and with an increase in demand,
there seems to be a great field for the
peanut oil industry in the South.
In addition, the peanut yields a yalu-
able hay crop, and when peanuts are
harvested for market hogs may be
turned into the field to CLEAN whatever
is left after digging
1t is said thar many growers fatten
two hogs on each acre Of peanuts so
harvested. "Few if any crops Will
produce more pounds Of pork on an
acre Of land or produce it at a lower
cost per acre than peanuts" says a
writer on this subject, land in addl-
ton to the profit on pork, the crop
producing capacity of the soil will be
materially Increased
The Outlook.
The farmer who knows how to raise
peanuts will make money, but the
haphazard farmer can never realize
much profit on any crop. There is
much to be learned as to preparation
of soils, planting, cu!tivating and har-
vesting, but our state experiment sta
tions will furnish the necessary in
formation.
The peanut crop in some of the
states is short this year and growers
are expecting higher prices. The crop
is above the average in quality and X
is thought that the higher grades will
reach 12h cents to IA cents a pound
By Christmas, and peanut oil mas ad.
vanceds3 cents a pound. This means
a good profit for the farmer, an5 as
there is no danger OF flooding the mar
ket, growers may look for large re-
turns Aext year.
The OIL mills of the South now pro-
vide a market for hundreds of thou
sands tons of peanuts and the average
price during the past three years for
the small white Spanish variety has
been 500 per ton the present price
being about 5000 per ton.

Better farming in the South may fol-
low in the wake OF the bcllweevil.
Adoption Of long-taked-of syS, as OF
diversified farming, stock-raisins AMI
soil-building may be forced upon the
farmers Of the cotton belt as a result
Of the incurslon of this voracious and
implacable enemy of King Cotton
And with these changes and improve
ments, and the consequent eradication
Of this destructive pest, cotton may
again be enthroned under conditions
which will insure more prosperous
reign.
The Value o: Peanuts.
The boll.weevil is expected to be in
full force next year N the best cotton
growing sections of Georgia ana the
Carollnas, and the forehanded farmer
may profit by engaging in peanut cui-
ture on an extensive scale.
DR.. w. W. Long, Director of Exten-
sion, Clemson Agricultural College OF
Z South Carolina, says: "The value OF
the peanut, both as a money crop and
for feeding on the farm, renders it es-
peclally desirable as part of the ro-
tation wherever conditions suitable to
its development exist"
And such conditions are found IN
many sections Of the southeast, and
are especially favorable in the coastal
plains regions of North and Eouth
Carolina.
In some parts Of the South peanuts
have already supplanted cotton on
many farms heretofore devoted almost
exclusively to the growing Of that sta
pie. 1t is shown by receat reports from
the boll-weevil territory OF Georgia
that the peanut is one Of the most
profitable crops that can be grown in
the place Of cotton.
Prof. H. g. Thompson, U. S. Bureau
Of Plant Industry, says: Peanut grow
ing is desirable in the cropping sys-
TEN in some parts of the cotton belt.
The commercial value of She crop in
creased from S7,270,515, in 1929 to
$1S,271, 1920 in 1909, and the increase
since 1909 has been even greater than
before that year. These facts dc not
represent the full value of the crop,
for they do not take into account thou
sands of acres Of peanuts grown for
hog feeding purposes"
The Peanut as a Nitrogen Gatherer,
"The peanut plant, in common with
other legumes, has the power OF col
lecting nitrogen from the air and stor-
ing 1t in nodules on its roots" sa-s
Prof. Thompson. "Tor this reason the
peanut is a very desirable soil improy-
ing plant. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that in order to benefit the
soil the main portion OF the roots
should be left in the ground. The
nitrogen gathering bacteria are usual
ly present inN abundance even Whers
the soil is planted for the first time.
Importance of Lime in The Soil.
Authorities agree that peanuts re-
quire an abundance of lime to iUsure
proper ripening and the filling of pods
and the testimony OF practical peanut
growers bear them out III This state
ment.
Where the soil contains limestone OIL
shells 1t may not be necessary to apply
lime, but on most sandy soils, and on
