PLANS ARE ABOUT
COMPLETED FOR
MARKETING CROP
ALBANY, Ga., Aug. 27—With the
harvest season for peanuts almost at
hand, and actually in progress in
some sections of the belt, the
Georgia Peanut Growers Co- operative
Association has about completed plans
for marketing this important crop.
With more than 100,000 of the 142,-
000 acres of commercial Spanish pea
nuts planted in Georgia this year un
der contract to the new co-operative
marketing organization, the associa
tion will easily be the largest single
factor in the world in the market for
white Spanish peanuts. Due to the
fact that the association has probably
the bulk of the choice peanuts of the
state under contract in its total of
more than 100,000 acres, it is esti
mated that fully 80 per cent of the
state’s total output of white Spanish,
which is the largest of any state’s,
will pass through the co-operative
association.
At a banker’s . meeting held in Al
bany Wednesday, attended by some
of the foremost financial experts oi
the state, arrangements were maue
for all of the short-term credit re
quirements of the Association. Longer
term credits will be handled through
the United States intermediate credit
banks.
While gathering season for the
bulk of the state’s peanuts is not yet
at hand, there are lorward peanuts
in many sections that are ready for
harvesting and are actually being
harvested in many cases. Officers
of the association this week again em
phasized their warnings against dig
ging peanuts too soon; against curing
them in windrows, instead of shock
curing them, and against threshing
them instead of picking them with
a regular peanut picker. “These
warnings were not issued idly or for
the sake of having something to say,”
Colonel Robert E. L. Spence, president
and General manager of the Peanut
Association, declared. “They repre
sent the manure judgment and care
ful investigation of all the experts we
have consulted, and rest on reliable
human experience. If we expect our
peanuts to bring higher prices than
ordinary peanuts —and that is one of
our expectation —we must use care
in gathering and preparing them for
the market as well as in growing
them. Peanuts gathered too soon
will certainly grade as inferior pea
nuts, and I hope our members will
realize this. Sun-sured peanuts will
suffer in comparison shock cured
ones and the man who delivers shock
cured peanuts will receive his reward
in better prices, just as will the man
who picks his peanuts with a picking
machine, instead of threshing them.
Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.”
Preparations are now being made
by the field service of the Peanut As
sociation to see that there is a 100
per cent delivery of peanuts signed
by members of the association. Prac
tically no difficulty is xpected along
this line, officers of the association
stated.
