Peanuts the Most Profitable Crop
The American Product Corporation
of Madison, Florida writes US as fol-
lows.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has just issued their Crop Report for
Season 1921, giving the following sta
tistics for the Florida Crop:
Corn value SAP per acre.
Cotton value SASS per acre.
Peanuts value $21.60 per acre.
This confirms what we have writ
ten in our previous letters-That the
peanut is the best paying and most
dependable of all crops. The above
figures for peanuts can be greatly
improved by growing the right vari-
cites, either the White Spanish or the
Virginia Bunch or Jumbo peanut, and
by proper cultivation and fertiliza-
ton. We estimate that with ordinary
care and attention the value of an
acre of Spanish peanuts should be
from $3.50 to $4,000 and Virginias
$500, with hay worth about $500 and
sufficient nuts left in the ground to
make good hog feed.
We are convinced that the Virginia
nut will prove very paying crop for
this section of Florida, even as good
as cotton in its best days. The Span
ish nut is also always assured of
eady market at good price.
The value of proper fertilization and
cultivation. Although peanuts require
a relatively small amount of cultiva-
tion and fertilization to produce an
aTcyage yield, it is crop that re-
spends yery noticeably to both. We
have before us the actual results of
IS growers in Alabama who planted
lei acres. The yields carried from 10
OF Is bushels per acre but the figures
show that those farmers who spent
cae-thiTd more on cultivation and fer
tiiizer secured 45 bushels per acre
or crop three times greater than
those who Gid not cultivate properly
Corn, peanuts and hogs make a pay
ing ombination. Take care of the
coming crop of pigs, plant plenty of
corn and peanuts and the fall and win
ter months will bring the answer
Watermelon, cantaloupes and Gu
cumber growers, plant catch crops of
early crook-necked squash. Melon
and pickle worms feed on the squash
and thus the crops you expect to har-
vest fruit from are protected.
Test seed samp,e- now to find what
proportion you can count on when
sowing TIM. comes. Poor seed is the
cause of many poor stands of crops.
The Department of Agriculture after
a u-aber of experiments gives out the
advice that peanuts should be she'll
ed just before planting.
In the course of work on the selec-
ton of tomatoes that will resist the
wilt disease, which causes large an
nual loss in the tomato-canning states,
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has developed variety called
Norduke. similar to Stone, but highly
resistant to wilt

TAMPA TIMES Is SPENDING

THISTLE GARDENING
 IN SAN FRANCISCO

In the backyards Of San Francisco and the Half Moon Bay region we find a giant thistle being cultivated for its food value-a giant thistle of
 Mediterranean origin with spines which are both relentless and cruel, but a large purple flower most glori- ously scented which holds an ire sistible lure for the bees; giant
 thistle which so loves It's adopted home that 1t refuses to be grown else where in spite of the many attempts to do SO.
 This same thistle with its wonder full, big buds and great Corinthian leaves with their prickly Spines, is known to the consumer as the arti- choke; and such a daltcacy do we regard the bud of this same flower that 1t sells for a higher price than the famous Hood River apples. Fresno raisins, Florida oranges, or Santa Clara apricots. Indeed. in our cities not only do we find it displayed in is it to find the push-cart peddler devoting a part of his limited space to the same delicacy. and both the rich man and the poor man buys it. often paying as high as a quarter apiece.
 We might perhaps better speak of this unique industry as Horticulture rather than as market gard dening; but by whatever name we call it, California reaps the nice annual re- turn of better than a million and a half from it The artichoke season begins early in the days Of October and reaches it's crest about the first Of April; nor accidental is it that it should reach it's height just at the time when it will make the most def- nite appeal to the city consumer St. Louis.
