QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
Question: How can I tell if my
peanuts are fit for planting pur
poses?
Answer; If there is any doubt as
to the quality of the seed a germi
nation test should be made. How
ever, if the peanuts are home-grown
and hand packed both before and
after shelling, the seed should be
suitable for planting. Be sure that
all weather-damaged nuts are re
moved as well as the middleweed
pods and damaged kernels. After the
seed are selected they should be
stored in a dry place away from
excessive heat or dampness.
Question: Is it possible to tell how
long a chicken has been laying by
the bleaching process?
Answer; Yes. In yellow skinned
birds the yellow color is given to
the fat by a pigment called “Xan
thophyll. This is found just beneath
the skin and as the bird lays, this
pigment disappears in a fairly reg
ular manner which indicates ap
proximately the time the bird has
been laying. Bleaching of the vent
shows the bird layed 2 to 3 eggs.
Where the earlobes are bleached
the bird has been in lay from 2 to
3 weeks. Bleached beaks mean from
6 to 8 weeks of fairly heavy' pro
duction and bleached shanks show
that the bird has been laying from

community.

Methodist church is attending the
annual Methodist Conference in
Norfolk, Va. this week.
4to 6 months. The pigment re
turns after the birds go out of lay
in the same order.
Question: When should I apply
manure to my garden plot?
Answer: For best results manure
should be applied during the fall
and winter and either turned under
at the fall plowing or disced in
during early spring. If applied at
all during the spring and summer it
should be in a well-rotted condi
tion. On average soils the rate of
application should be ten two-horse
wagon loads to the acre. When ap
plied at this rate 1 wagon load will
cover a space approximately 50 by
100 feet and this should be the rule
of application on home gardens.
Some crops require a supplement
to the manure and a combination
of manure and superphosphate is
good for most soils. Apply this
mixture in the proportion of ten
loads of manure to two or three
bags of superphosphate.
