NOT IN A TRUST.
NORFOLK, VA., Sept. 26.—(Spec
ial)—Men who practically control the
peanut crop of the country met to
day in the convention hall of James
town exposition and were welcomed
by President Harry St. George Tuck
er. All phases of the peanut grow
ing Industry will be considered by
experts during the sessions today
i and tomorrow, the lists of speakers
Including Professor L. C. Corbett, of
Washington, Professor W. F. Massey,
of Philadelphia; Col. J.. R..Edwards
Franklin, Va.; H. B. Sherman, of
Greensburg, Ind.; C. Haynes Taylor,
of Washington, and S. B. Lee, of
Owensboro, Ky.
The congress is under the auspices
of the American Peanut Growers' As
sociation, which was organized as
department of the American Society
of Equity in November of last year.
The society now controls the crops of
Virginia, North Carolina and Tennes
see, and is rapidly being extended In-
i to all other peanut-producing sec
tions of the country,
j The purposes of the organization
j are to promote the culture of pea-
j nuts along conservative lines, and to
control the price by holding peanuts
off the market until the trade will pay
profltablc prices. A system of ware
houses, similar to those established
by cottoii planters, is being inaugur-
■ ated and will enable growers to store
the crop and secure money on it
meet his obligations. According to
the statement of Secretary Gilbert
Stephenson, of Pendleton, N. C., the
peanut Is grown commercially In ev
ery continent of the world, the United
States alone producing 300,000,000
pounds annually. The peanut,, it is
said, can be grown successfully in
every section where corn is success
ful. Every par? of the plant Is now
used, the vines being better than
timothy hay as feed for horses, cattle
and sheep. In America, the produc
tion ranges from 40 to 100 bushels of
nuts and from 1 to 2 tons of hay per
| acre. New uses for the nuts arc con-
! stantly being found and the demand
is reported to be constantly increas
ing.
