Synopsis

Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 69: A Monthly Journal Devoted to Practical and Progressive Agriculture, Horticulture, Trucking, Live Stock and the Fireside; May 1908

The peanut crop should be planted about from the middle to the end of the month. In our last issue we gave advice as to the preparation of the land and the fertilizer proper to be used to make the crop successfully. Mix the fertilizer well with the soil before planting the nuts. The seed may be planted in either rows or hills, but the most usual way is to plant in rows three feet apart and the plants 12 or 15 inches apart in the rows. Cultivation should be frequent to keep all weeds down' and a loose' soil'mulch on the ground. Keep the land level. Experiments have shown that level cultivation gives the best crops.
