Peanuts Profitable
Chemical Treatment
Chemical treatment of peanut
seeus and plenty of fertilizer
rr.^n good stands of peanuts.
To insure good stands of pea-
nuts 25 to 35 pounds of chemi-
cally treated shelled seed or 45
to*30 pounds of unshclled seed
per acre should be planted, says
E. A. Miller, extension agronomist
of Texas A. & M. Colege.
m a six-year test at the Texas
Agricultural Experiment Substa-
tion at Stephenville, in the main.
peanut growing region of Texas,
, peanuts averaged as high as 71
per cent of a perfect stand where
shelled seed were chemically
treated. Compare this with a 31
! per cent stand for untreated seed,
Miller says.
In these tests, three-year aver-
age yields were as high as 26.8
bushels per acre with treated
seed, and only 16 bushels with un-
treated seed. These increases are
very significant and show the
value of treating shelled seed,

this agronomist points out.
The chemicals that gave good
results are common 2 per cent
ceresan, arasan, phygon and sper-
gon. The new improved 5 per cent
ceresan and cereasan M should
not be used on peanuts since they
will injure the shelled seed. They
are not intended for peanuts. Di-
rections on the containers should
be followed very closely. Most of
the peanut shelters now treat the
• planting seed for farmers.
In recent experiments by the
Oklahoma Experiment Station,
chemically treated legume seed
were successfully inoculated by
following the chemical treatment
with inoculation of arasan and
spergon. If this double treatment
is used, Miller suggests that a
double dose of the inoculant be
applied and the seed planted right
after inoculation.
Fertilizer for peanuts should
be applied at the rate of 200
pounds per acre of 4-12-4 in the
West Cross Timber area and in
South Texas. Two to three hun-
dred pounds per acre is recom-
mended for the East Texas Tim-
ber country and on the sandy soil
of the Gulf Coast Prairie, Miller
concludes.
BEANS A MUST FOR
THE HOME GARDEN
What is a home garden without
beans, ask J. F. Rosborough, ex-
tension horticulturist of Texas
A. & M. College.
It isn't too late to plant the
green bush beans. The Giant
Stringless Green Pod variety is

standard among home gardeners.
A new kind called Logan is the
latest model in beans. This varie- .
ty is outstanding in quality, and
is recommended for Use as a
fresh vegetable, or for freezing
or canning, Rosborough says.
It's a little early for the pole
bean varieties right now. And a
point to remember about the pole
beans is that these plants must
be set out further apart in the
row because they grow larger
than the bush types. Kentucky
Wonder is standard in the pole
varieties, but the Blue Lake is
higher in quality and yields as
well as the Kentucky Wonder. .
. As for the lima beans, the Hen-
derson Bush or Fordhook are
good bush types, says Rosborough.
The Silva and Florida Speckled
are excellent pole types. The
Silva is a white bean, while the
Florida Speckled is a brown mot-
tled type.
In East Texas, the Florida
Speckled seems to do best, while
in the damp Gulf Coastal area the
Silva is preferred, he concludes.
