Proper Stack Saves Peanuts From Rain
In a Wiregrass test at the Wiregrass Experiment Station 121 acres of Dixie Runners peanuts suffered only about 1 percent damage after 20 inches of rain, far below area averages. The stacked, thatched roof technique kept peanuts dry and yielded 134 tons on 121 acres, about 2225 pounds per acre versus the state average of 800. Superintendent J. P. Wilson credited careful stacking and uniform spacing around stacks for the protection. The rains interrupted early picking, finally starting last Saturday. Turn To No. 16 On Page 2.
