discriminate against Sections where the practb
is to hog down the peanut crop. This is done because unless how
L are finished off with other feeds it makes it makes the flesh too oily,
J Is it wise to feed a vegetable oil worth 90c. per gallon to an animal to
will be worth several cents per pound less because of such feeding?
ine xnmg xo ao, my inena, is xo pick your peanuts -ana sell them to
buyers for humanaood, and to be crushed. ,
You have the vines left. They are the equal to alfalfa in food value. ;
If you need protein, buy peanut meal from the oil mills get the nutriment without the oilmake pork
that packers will not discriminate against
C. A SHOOP, Secretary
! Let It Pay for Itself
Every time 200 bags have been picked the
price of the Benthall is saved. Instead of hav
ing to pay out half the crop for hand-picking
you and your boys can pick the crop and have
fun doing it keep the wages yourself. You
are not dependent upon help. .
This, machine has saved millions of dollars
for Southern farmers. Hqw in the world ,can
any man afford to "hand-pick" his crop, or
feed it to hogs when picking and selling the
crop will bring him so much more
Man, don't you know that peanut meal is
jelling at $40 or more per ton; and oil is bring
ing a big price? t '
Then, why don't you pick your peanutsand
get the big profits? v
Hand Picking Must Go!
If youpick by hand you are losing half your
crop burning it up, just as if you held a light
ed match to it 1 '.
On every 200 bags of peanuts picked by
hand $350 is lost that this machine would
save. The cost of hand-picking on such
'a crop is $80. The waste on account
of birds and stealing amounts
V to $70. You lose VzZ per pound
0 by not getting them off to
market early. That means $100. Not getting
the field cleared early to admit hogs loses $25.
Losing the vines means a loss of $75. This
makes $350 that is actually lost oh every two
hundred bags of goobers that are hand-picked.
v Now, the question is,' Mr. Farmer, can you
keep on harvesting peanuts at such a loss?
Not a Thresher that Cracks Nuts -Ruins
Vines But a Picker that
Really Picks
I want to put a Benthall Peanut Picker on
your farm and let the profits pay for it.
The Benthall is a real picker not a thresher.
The vines are fed to the machine ust as grain
is fed to a threshing machine. .The result is
.that the peanuts are picked off the vines with
out injury to the shell. It doesn't crack the
nuts so they will not keep. The product is
superior to the average hand-picked nut.
Moreover, the Benthall picks cowpeas. '
The Benthall picks the Virginia and Spanish
varieties equally well. And it doesn't grind the
vines to smithereens. The Benthall picks the
nuts as delicately as the human fingers. Con
trast it with the heavy machines
that "thresh" them. Such threshers
require excessive power crack the
nuts and grind the vines to smither
eens so that they are unfit for feed.
Mule-Power or 4 to 6-Horse Power
Operates the Benthall
It is not necessary to have a big cumbersome
engine tnat's expensive to operate in order to
pick the peanut crop.
This machine is -so perfect that it requires
minimum horse power. Most every farmer
has a gasoline engine that can run the outfit
From. 4 h.p. to 6 h.p. will operate it satisfac
torily. : " v
Think what . mechanical perfection this
means when threshers require from 10 h.p.
to 16 h.p.
Big Profits Picking for Others
Many young men have made their start in
life operating a Benthall. Doing custom work
they have made the nest-egg that bought their
farms. There are more peanuts being planted
this year than ever. There's a big opportunity
for .men to make more money picking peanut!
and pay for the machine out of tne profits.
