Peanut Cultivation in North
Genrgia


me advent of the boil weevil has
mace the Investigation of crops es
sentlal. This insect has now Sc
rrtnly established itself in north
Seo1gla that the problem of devot
ing a portion of the land hitherto
cultivated in cotton to some other
Iartn crop has become a live issue
II is natural, under existing condi
tions, that our farmers should turr
.nelr attention and effort to the cul
ovation of the peanut. This is 6
crop well adapted to much of the
sandy land found in the northern
part of Georgia, or especially in
what is known as the Piedmont sec
uon. 1t is a crop easily established
and not difficult to cultivate or har
vest. It is a crop that has high
1000 value for both man and beast
II is not a crop which readily de,
terlorates in value after it has been
properly harvested and stored. 1t
IS crop which yields not only a
hlgh-grade meal and very good hay,
out an edible oil of the choicest
quality. It is desirable, therefore,
that its cultivation be undertaken on
as extensive a basis as circumstances
wilt justify.
1t is important to remember, how
ever. that there are certain essen
t1al facts to bear in mind with ref
erence to the handling of this crop
II our farmers are to cultivate it
with profit and advantage. The de-
mand for information along this line
is so great that it is a special pleas
ure to direct the attention of our
readers at this time to the summary
relative to the subject Of peanut
cultivation in north Georgia which
has been, prepared by Prof. Paul
Tabor, Of the extension division Of
the Georgia State College of Agri-
Peanuts have been used as a sub
stitute crop for cotton over nearly
every part of the south, where the
Doll weevil damage has been serious.
The success of the crop has been
varied. Some years the farmers
havs been pleased with the returns
and on other years they have been
disappointed. In southwest Geor-
gia, peanuts largely replaced cotton
when the boil weevil first came and
are still grown extensively there.
The average yield has been about
one-third of ton per acre. and the
prices have(varied from $40 to $130
per ton.
Peanuts can be produced with the
same equipment found on nearly eg-
cry cotton farm. A planter, weeder
and picker need to be added for
growing them well and properly pre-
pairing them for market. A picker
vii! serve whole community in
most sections, just as grain
thresher does. Some cotton plant
ers have adjustments for planting
peanuts. q
Peanuts require less work than
cotton. The preparation of the land
and planting are about the same
for each crop, but in cultivation pea
nuts need only two-thirds to three
fourths as much as cotton and for
harvest about half as much One
hoeing is usually needed, but it can
be eliminated by careful and thor
ough cultivation. Planting can be
done over a period of six weeks but
the. harvesting needs to be done
promptly, as the crop natures. The

BuShy Tail looked around, and there, under
a large. overhanging weed, almost choked
to death by smaller weeds was a violet
bravely lifting up it's face trying in vain
to catch some of the refreshing drops of

overlapping the violet got all of the rain,
while in only a short time the modest lit

the violet did was to give a sigh. sigh

Bushy Tail, and unmindful of the rain and
for once in his life forgetting self. he came
out from his shelter and primping up,
caught hold of the big weed in his fore
paws and bent it to the ground, and the
weed gave a crack and lay there to never
rise again. Then Bushy Tail went to work
digging the other weeds away from the
violet, and after. awhile the weeds that
were checking the little flower to death
were all gone, and the violet bent her head
and whispered in Rusty Tails ear. "You

Dear Folks:

Dear folks.
So many questions have come in
asking for addresses of friends ana
relatives. At first I felt that 1T
would be impossible to handle these
through out department.
Now this solution has occurred
to me. I will state the question as
simply as possible and it any OF the
readers can give satisfactory ans
wers I will print them. OF course
the paper cannot take the respons-
Utility of locating people. And the
questions and answers are strlctly
between the Iquestioner ana the
one replying.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
T,onelv Pearl: You will find 1t
best to go to your friend ana ASK
him frankly what the trouble is anu
Won will have to be governed by the
wav he acts, it isn't hard for a girl
to tell when a man ceases to care
for her unless she deliberately
blinds herself to the fact that ne
does not care any longer. There
is a possibility that he has mlsun-
derstood your friendship with his
brother, l find that young people
are often careless about expression,
both in talking and what is FAR
worse in letter writing, things look
so different when written down. AT
least do the boy and yourself the
justice Of asking an explanation.
Brown Eyes: 1 have been inform
ed that freckles are a condition OF
the blood, my advice would be to see
a physician, but one thing that will
help you will be the application or
a good face cream, vegetable, any
thing with animal fat in it makes
hair grow, and a busting of a good
powder over the skin before going
out in the sun. You do seem a little
stout for your height, ask your doc
tor and he will prescribe a suitable
diet, one that will bring you to your
proper weight and keep you in
good health.
From what you write about your
hair I think it needs shampooing at
least twice a month and good scalp
massaging, try this and see if you
do not find it improves. Be sure
not to use a greasy shampoo.

peanuts will be to sell to the local oil
mills or to ship in car lost to the
Smelling plants in southwest Geor-
gia. In either case they will be
handled like cotton seed. If a large
crop is made part of it will be
crushed and the price paid for the
peanuts will be governed by the
price of cotton seed. A ton of pea
nuts will give from eighty to eighty
five gallons of oil, while a ton Of
cotton seed will give from forty to
forty-five gallons. Peanuts, there
fore, should bring about twice as
much as cotton seed.
Making Silage Out of Sorghum
c. N. c., Granville, Ga,
writes: We expect to plant
about twenty acres of upland in
sorghum for the purpose of fill
ing our silo, which is 100-ton ca
pacity. What variety Of sor-
hum would be best suited for
this purpose?
We have tried quite a variety Of
sorghums for the purpose you indi-
cate, and our experience leads us
to the conclusion that probably the
Red Top or Shumac sorghum is the
most satisfactory to plant for the
purpose of filing a silo. Our yields
with this crop have varied from 8
to IL or more tons per acre. We
think in an average season the yield
has been approximately ten tons. If
you secure such a yield as this it
would not be necessary to have
twenty acres to fill your -silo. On
the other hand, seasonal conditions
may occasionally be very unfavor-
able. Drouth has cut the crop down
in a few instances for us. as low as
five tons per acre. We think it is
better to plant a little more area
than you think necessary to fill your
Silo, because it is very unsatisfac-
tory to have a structure Of this kind
only partly filled. Moreover, since II
constitutes the cheapest and most
effective manner in which we can
preserve sorghum for the use of
beef and dairy cattle in Georgia, I
do not think there is much danger
of our over doing the cultivation Of
silage- crops.
In recent years we have thought
it more desirable to plant alternate
rows to Red Head or Shumac sor-
ghum and white Kaffiir corn. The
Kaffir corn is vigorous growing
plant, makes a good yield of grain
in Georgia, is an excellent drouth
resister, and is dryer than sorghum.
The combination Of the two has
made more wholesome silage,
from our point of view, than either
one would separately.
