Statement Made By
Pace On Peanut Crop
Final arrangements have been
made with regard to the 1943
peanut crop and I think the far
mers should know the details at
once.
1. Last year the Department
provided a two-price program for
peanuts, that is, one price for
quota peanuts, grown on allotted '
acreage, and anot4l£r and much
lower price for excess peanuts,
grown on excess or unallotted
acreage. That proved very un
satisfactory. The program for :
this year abolishes this two-price 1
system and instead there will be 1
paid the same price for all pea- ‘
nuts of the same type and grade,
whether grown on allotted or ex- j
cess acreage. J
2. Last December the Secre- |
tary of Agriculture authorized a
support price for this year of 1
$125.00 per ton average. In Feb
ruary we persuaded him to raise
the price to $129.00 average. 1
That meant about $132.00 for j
.Spanish and $122.00 for runners.
j A short time later the Secretary 1
announced an incentive payment
program, under which he propos
ed to make to peanut producers a !
special payment per acre for pea
nuts produced in excess of 90 1
per cent of their quota. This 1
proposal was not approved by ]
Congress. I then asked th e !
Secretary to increase the guaran- '
teed price of peanuts by an ;
amount equal to what the incen- j
tive payments would have been. 1
He hesitated about doing |
so, but today Mr. Davis, the new 1
Food Administrator, has agreed
to do so and has announced an
increased support price of $140.00 ]
per ton average for Spanish and ]
$130.00 for runners. j
3. Last year the farmers re-}
ceived only $82,00 per ton for]
their excess or oil peanuts. Later!
G F. A.,acting for the Secretary,
sold some of these peanuts for
edible purposes at quota prices.
Also some of these excess pea
nuts are now being sold for seed
at around $130.00 per ton. I in-j
sisted that the profit from these
sales should be set aside in a spe-1
cial fund and paid to the pro-!
ducers of excess peanuts. This j
was agreed to and today Com-j
modity Credit Corporation will,
announce a special payment of I
$lO.OO per ton for each ton of I
excess peanuts sold from the;
1942 crop. Other profits from}
these transactions are expected!
and it is hoped that they will be |
sufficient to make at least a sec- j
; ond payment of a similar amount. ;
This all means;
a. That this year no market
ing cards will be required in.,
! order for the farmer to sell his
jpeanuts: '
1 h. That this year there will ,
be no difference between quota
and excess peanuts. They will j
’sell for the same price.
\ c. That the average price for

MAYOR URGES GO-OPERATION
IN 2ND WAR LOAN CAMPAIGN
As Mayor of Perry I ask my
fellow citizens to join to the full
extent of your financial ability in
the Treasury Department’s Sec
ond War Loan Campaign which
opens April 12.
I feel sure that when the final
returns are in, our community
will stand high among cities and
towns of our size and resources
in the country for our accom
plishments in this great patriotic
drive.
The Government is asking the
people of this country to lend 13
billion dollars to help prosecute
this war. All of us know how
vital this money is in our com
mon cause. We have sent our
fathers, sons, brothers and
friends off to fight. We must
provide the money to put the
finest weapons and other muni
tions in their hands so that they
can end this war as quickly as
possible.
The Second War Loan Cam
paign is mqre than a mere trans
fer of our money to the Govern
ment for a period at good inter
est rates. It is a demonstration
of our will to victory and our de
sire to back up our men on the
fighting lines. The Treasury
Department has recognized this
basic patriotic aspect of the (
Second War Loan Campaign by
offering a series of securities de
signed for every pocketbook.
There are the familiar War
Bonds, tax certificates, and oth
er long term and short term se
curities. Democracy never has
given a finer example of its
strength than in this forthcom
ing Second War Loan Appeal.
Working man and businees man,
professional man and industrial
ist, housewife and war worker —
all may send their dollars off to
[fight alongside our troops.'
If there was ever a time when
we should as a community sound
|a patriotic note in public under
| taking it is in this campaign.
Let us all take to our hearts
I the theme of this campaign:
j “They Give Their Lives. You
'Lend Your Money.”
j S. A. NUNN, iMayor.
[Spanish will be $140.00 per ton.
Number One Spanish should
bring at least $145.00 per ton.
d. That the average price of
runners will be $130.00 per ton.
e. That the Commodity Credit
Corporation will probably buyi
the entire crop and then use it j
for food or oil and meal as war
conditions require.
f. That within a short time
each farmer who produced any
excess or oil peanuts last year
will receive a check for $lO.OO
per ton for each ton he sold.
Every farmer wants to help
win the war. He can help very
C.E.ANDREW AND E.P.NFWHARD
SUPERVISE WAR LOAN DRIVE
The latter half of April will
see America in the biggest sales
campaign this country has ever
known, for any purpose what
ever, when the Treasury Depart
ment of the United States goes
to the people with the Second
War Loan, to raise $13,000,000,-
000 nationally for carrying on
the nation’s worldwide offensive.
This titantic sales effort on War ,
\Savings Bonds will reach every
county and town in the whole
United States and is jointly be
ing supervised by C. E. Andrew,
president, Perry Loan & Savings
Bank, chairman of the Victory
Fund Committee in Houston
county, and E. P. Newhard,
chairman of the county War
Savings Staff. This campaign is
a cooperative effort under gen
eral direction of the United
States Treasury War Finance
Committee.
“From now on until this war
is won,” said Mr. Andrew,
“America must be on the offen
sive. In ever-increasing num
bers, your sons, brothers, hus
bands must go into actual bat
tle —and they are going to need
more and more support from
you.”
| “In the next few weeks, prac
tically every person in our coun
try will be visited by one of the ,
thousands of volunteers who are
contributing their time and ef
fort to this drive, which began
on April 12. The people who
can. must make up their minds
right now that they are going to
march right down to the nearest
bank, post office or any other
place where they can buy War
Bonds —and do their duty. For
our country’s sake, for our own
sake, we’ve got to invest every
cent we possibly can,” said Mr.
Newhard.
From Washington, Secretary
of the Treasury Henry Morgen
thau, Jr., has stressed the vital
importance of this financing ef
fort and urged every American to
put idle dollars to work by buy
ing the type of war security best
suited to him.

| TIN CANS AVAILABLE j
iFOR HOUSTON CANNERY!
1
( Several people have inquired- 1
| as_ to whether or not tin cans
| will be available for the present
Tanning season. We have gotten
in a carload of cans which have
been stored without cost at Da
vis Warehouse. These cans are
available for those who plan to
can for home consumption,
whether they can at the local
canning plant or not. To ascer
tain how rnanv cans will be need
ed we are putting 30,000 on sale
immediately. This will leave a
reserve for anyone not able to
get cans now. As soon as these
are purchased we will try to get
another carload. The price will
be 2Mic each for the No. 2 cans
and 3>sc each for No. 3 cans.
The No. 2 is a pint size and the
No. 3, a quart size. The cans
are packed in cartons of 100 so
I the least amount to be sold any
person now will be 100.
A nominal charge of about >ic
per can will be charged extra for
the use of the local canning
plant to defray actual expenses.
No profit is to be made from the
cans nor the canning plant.
To get the cans see L.C. Walk
er, Vocational Agricultural teach
er, who will give you an order to
get them from Davis Warehouse.
Please see me as soon as possi
ble so we will know how many
cans will be needed and we can
get them.
