Ga. Farm Bureau
Wins Vote to K«»ep
Peanuts “Basic **
Georgia Farm Bureau leader*
last week proclaimed a real victory
in the House defeat of an amend
ment to remove peanuts from the
basic Commodity list.
The amendment was defeated by
a House vote of 150 to 121.
H. L. Wingate, Georgia Farm
Bureau President, in Chicago at
tending a meeting of AFBF Board
of Directors said, “This is a real
victory. The close vote indicates
the immensity of the fight we were
up against. »•
Wingate praised the action of
the American Farm Bureau in com
ing to the aid of the peanut pro¬
ducers, and asserted, “We needed
this aid and appree ate it very
much.” The AFBF Board unani
mously voted to urge Congress to
maintain peanuts as a basic com
modity, and each Congressman was
informed of the AFBF’a position
to that effect.”
The Georgia Farm leader ex¬
pressed, “Our entire Georgia dele¬
gation did a magmf’cent job in
saving this program.’’ Wingate
earlier had attended an urgent
strategy session in Washington,

Way back in 1819 the canning industry came into being, no doubt the
fruit of some good farmers’ fertile minds. For this was the answer to
their problem of marketing their produce th* year ’round. Thus, agri
culture and industry came together for a common good, forming a
partnership which has operated to their mutual benefit ever since.
Today our farmers produce millions of tons of top-quality fruits and
vegetaljes, arid the 3,000 canning plants scattered throughout the
country process them in cans and jars, bringing to our nation “good
eating” in every season. Canning has now become a billion dollar harvest
for the American farmer. _________________
This alliance between farmers and canners means that the farmers
can depend on a more stable price and ready outlet for their produce.
In 1951, for example, the cahning industry bought arid packaged the
crops from 1,880,500 acres of 11 major vegetables—-70% of the entire
crop. „____
To be specific, about 80% of all sweet corn and tomatoes harvested
. canned; about 75% of the
is green peas and beets; and about one-half
the asparagus; about 60% of the red sour cherries and 45% to 50%
of peaches, pears and apricots.
What happens then? In 1953 the per capita consumption of canned
foods averaged 102.2 pounds. Because of this great popularity, the can
of high-quality industry has developed the responsibility of producing quantities
foods packed products to meet the housewives’ demands—500 different
in cans and jars—for convenience, nutrition, economy,
variety, versatility and all-year-round availability. Mrs. Homemaker
appreciates the value of the no waste, pre-cooked goodness, and points
with pride to her canned foods she f. She adds her own deft touch of
the master chef-the final link in the partnership chain.
