IDE VALUE OF PEANUTS WHEN
PROPERLY HOUSED IN THE FALL
(By C. M. HURST)
TO THE PEANUT GROWERS:
The Hurst Peanut Digger la a Land
Builder and Improver
I have a few words 1 would like to
nay to the public in regard to dig
ging peanuts, as I have had several
years experience in the new and old
method of digging peanuts.
It is generally known when you
dig peanuts the old way you rob your
land of all the vegetation and the
ammonia that forms on the roots,
which is worth more to the land than
the heavy growth of vines. ,
In the meantime, the vines are
worth more for feed when you dig
them with a digger than they are
when you dig them by hand for this
reason: When they are dug by hand
all the tap roots, which form in a
bunch, are right together and aie
taken out with the vines, and these
rooUi, as a rule, are always full of
dirt and is hard to get out, and con
sequently the dirt goes into the stack
with the vines; and when you pick
them with a picker or any other ma
chine it makes mighty dirty feed for
your team. But when dug with a
digger they are clear of dirt and
they make mighty good feed.
Peanut vines, when they are saved
properly, makes a mighty good feed.
They are strong, and your team will
thrive on them without much corn.
S>me people say peanuts don't pay
—remember, when you have made
your hay and don't have to buy it
at a very high price you have made
money.
Then you can fatten your hogs
from the wasted peanuts that usually
shatter off from digging.
* These two items alone are worth
money, not saying a word about the
sale of your nuts, \vhich usually run
around one dollar per bushel as a
money crop.
So, after all, a peanut crop, is a
Very profitable crop.
We will get back to the ammonia
proposition, as 1 have seemed to left
that point.
This is no guesswork or hearsay.
I have seen what 1 am going to say
with my natural eye and can prove
every word by good, reputable men
that saw the same thing; and that
is in the value of ammonia that
forms in the roots, which is hard to

■oil.
In the fall of 1924 while I was test
ing my machine out as to its work,
I used it at Mr. J. P. House's farm
and dug several rows of peanuts on
one edge of his pea field; and in 1925
he planted that field in cotton and
saw the difference in the cotton grow
ing and could not imagine what
caused it. Finally it came to him
that was where the peanut digger
dug the 15 or 20 rows. You could
tell to the row where it left off. The
balance of the field was dug by hand.
It looked like these few rows had a
double application of fertilizer, and
you could tell the difference after the
stalks had been cut in the fall from
the stubble.
1 went out there especially to see
it and could tell the difference.
I asked Mr. House what did he
think was thed ifference in the .yield
of the cotton. He said he thought he
would be safe to say 26 or 30 per
cent more cotton was picked behind
the digger than the old way of dig
ging.
If that be true, we will figure it
25 per cent, the smallest estimate.
Mr. House usually makes a 500 lb.
bale of cotton to the acre on an aver
age. As a basis of a 500 lb. bale I
figure he gained 125 pounds of lint
cotton, which at the present price of
17 cents, basis of middling, he gained
$21.25 per acre.
After all these advantages men
tioned above we still have more by
digging our peanuts with diggers:
One man can take a good pair team
and dig and shake out 6 to 8 acres
per day very easy, and the work done
by the machine will be much bettei
than that done by hand, and a saving
of 3 to 4 men. The average saving
on labor alone would be $7 to $8 per
day.
I can show other proof to th«
same effect. 1 was raised in the pea
nut belt Seeing the need of a pea
nut digger, I undertook to build one
and several years perfect
ing it.. In the fall of 1925 I sold
four that went through the season
very satisfactorily; and thisf all I
am offering 15 machines at a very
low price of (136 cash.
This machine ia built strong ana
heary and will stand the hardship ol
handling the vines and hitches.
March 10th, 1921 and of record in the
Martin County Public Registry in
Book F-2 page 407.
This sale is made by reason of the
failure of J. L. Wynn and wife Mag
gie Wynn, to pay off and discharge
the indebtedness seeured by said deed
of trust to the North Carolina Joint
Stock Land Bank of Durham.
