Notes on Peanuts and Sudan Grass
| J. w. w, Jasper, Ga, writes:
| wish some information in re-
| gard to the cultivation of pea
nuts and the curing of the same.
Also does Sudan grass make
good hay?
Peanuts should be planted in rows
"a to SO inches apart; depending on
| the nature of the land. The sander
| the soil the better it is adapted for
| this crop. Well drained land is of
course desirable. Peanuts will grow
on red land and make a good yield,
but there are likely to be more pops
and the shells will be discloored,
which detracts somewhat from their
being marketed to advantage. Pos
| sibly it would not affect their sale
| so much to an oil mill as for street
Peanuts should be fortified with
phosphoric acid and preferably pot
ash as well, using say 200 pounds
acid phosphate and 100 pounds kahn
lit. Planting may be done any time
after the ground is sufficiently
warm to insure the rapid germina-
ton of the peanuts. This crop can
be planted in your section up until
the 18th of June. The tops make a
very good hay if properly cured.
The peanuts themselves when ripe
should be pulled out of the ground
and stacked around stakes to
feet high. The stack should not be
large around in circumference. This
| is considered the quickest and most
effective means of drying them.
When they are porperly field-cured
| they can be shelled by hand or ma
chinery and prepared for market.
Hogs grazed on peanuts produce a
| soft and oily pork.
| Sudan grass makes a fairly good
/ hay crop. 1t can probably be cut
twice a year in a favorable season,
and occasionally three cuttings may
be obtained. We would plant it in
rows "a to Sc inches apart. 1t will
take from to II pounds of seed
per acre if it is drilled in. Fertilize
it with a complete formula, carry
ing say per cent nitrogen, 8 per
cent phosphoric acid. and per cent
potash. You can plant it and ham
die it very much as you would han
die sorghum. Sudan grass will
probably make as good hay crop
| for north Georgia as anything you
coud plant. 1t can of course be
seeded with or without cowpeas. You
may broadcast it if you prefer. We
think you would obtain the largest
drills.
