“King Cotton”, ruler for many
years, only to lose its title and
prestige to other crops, has re
covered somewhat this year and
bids fair to again ascend the
throne. Commissioner of Agri
culture J. E. McDonald, of Tex
as. believes that the price will
continue to advance and is urg
ing his farmers not to sell until
the price reaches 22 cents per
pound. He urges borrowing on
the lint until spring through
government facilities.
* At the 'beginning of third year
of the war Russia and the RAF
have stepped up their activities
considerably by bombing Berlin
heavily in night forays, Some
how the average American
greedily devours such news. In
World War No. 1 Germany tast
ed little the effects of destroy
ed homes, factories and killing
of civilians. In the present war
the RAF is handing Germany
plenty of this type of warfare,
hence the thrill of joy among us
when Berlin gets a dose of this
medicine.

1 Ye editor had his first filing
at talking over radio last Thurs
day, but there was no thrill
there. In fact, if the microphone
had been a rattlesnake it would
have held no more terrors. After
the first minute of fright, how
ever, it become routine and much
of the nervousness disappeared,
but there was plenty to spare
and then some.

• The football season is just
around the corner, and there are
many followers here of this na
tional game. A good team re
presenting Seminole County
High School could be had with a
little effort. Let’s talk it up and
arrange for a team, next year,
if not this fall. A town of Don
alsonville’s size should have a
team.
O
Big things are accomplish
ed sometimes after long months
of effort, calling for much time
and sacrifice by the citizens of
the community. Such is the case
of the Chamber of Commerce.
Progress made overnight is us
ually of the mushroom type, but
steady progress, although slow
in materializing at times, is
most likely to be permanent. The
Chamber of Commerce realizes,
this and in its attempt to bring
new industries here, to introduce
new crops or ideas, is proceed
ing cautiously. Yet, w’e must
admit, that the Chamber is do
ing good.

“And here is a point which ought to
be understood: The Farm Security

landowner who grants 9 Jong written

The Farm Security Administration
seek that it has an obligation to the

WOT A OUTPUT
Georgia peanut growers who mar.’
ket their crops within AAA farm mar
keting quotas established for this year
will receive substantially more for
their peanuts than last year, WCPfd
ing to details of the 1941 program’
just announced by the Department of
Agriculture.
The department, in announcing par
tial details of the year’s program, set
forth a schedule of prices for “quota

peanuts” for use in connection with a
proposed plan to divert peanuts into
the manufacture of oils and by pro
ducts.
While the schedule covers “Quota
peanuts”, the department also made
provision for the marketing of non
quota peanuts through designated
agencies at market value for peanuts
for oil, less estimated handling, stor
age, and selling charges. Non-quota
or “excess peanuts”, it pointed out,
are those marketed in excess of AAA
farm marketing quotas.
The program provisions require that
both quota and excess peanuts be
properly identified with marketing
cards when sold.
The program would authorize de
signated agencies to pay the following
prices to producers for “quota” pea
nuts grown this year:
Southeastern Spanish: U. S. No. 1,
S9O a ton; No. 2, SB4, and No 3, $77.
Runners: U. S. No. 1, $80; No. 2,
$74, and No. 3, $67.
These prices are approximately $25
a ton higher than similar prices un
der the diversion program last year.
Under the 1941 program, producers’
l cooperative associations which parti
cipated in the peanut diversion pro
grams in past years will be designat
ed to divert quota peanuts and to mar
ket excess peanuts this year. These
Include: For Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, and Mississippi, the GFA Pea
nut Assocaltlon, of Camilla, Ga. The
same association will serve a part of
the producers in South Carolina.
