LABOR REQUIREMENTS OF PEANUTS. The labor required at each operation on peanuts grown either as a first crop or as a second crop after oats is shown in Table XXXI. Preparation of the land for this crop is similar to that for cotton or corn. Harvesting operations require somewhat more work than com harvest, but less than cotton harvest. When grown as a second crop after oats, peanuts require less labor than when grown as a first crop, because they are planted later and require fewer cultivations.
