I Virginia-Carolina f Peanut Growers to Meet March?! 1 K, ... Important Gathering From Two States to Plan for Price Stabilization-Co-Operatiye Market ing Experts to be Present?Cleaned Gtods Bringing Fair Prices, Demand Stronger. f Having been requested to call a meeting of the Virginia-Carolina peanut Growers Association, by quite ? number of its members from both states, I hereby give notice that said meeting will take place in the Munici pal building in the city of Suffolk, at |* 10 o'clock a. m., on Tuesday, the 11th <iay of March 1919. The Bureau of Markets,'Washington, D. C., will have ' a representative at this meeting to furnish the latest information possi ble as to the- quantity of peanuts produced in our own and other coun tries during the year 1918, compared with former years and whether or not r it is likely that the embargo on for eign peanuts will be lifted in time to effect our market during the present season. While in Washington last week, I talked with Mr. Moomaw, r (who is connected with the Bureau of Markets) and he said he did not V think for one minute that the War : Trade Board would remove' the em. bargo on foreign peanuts early : enough to affect our market this sea son, and he further stated that he iv did not believe our market would be c materially affected if this embargo, , should be raised at an early date, by reason of the limited supply of pea ;, nuts in China and Japan. lajfo We expect to have with us also on this occasion, representatives of the depa rtment of agriculture of North , . Carolina and Virginia, to furnish us with any possible information that might prove helpful. I visited Philadelphia last week and talked with quite a number of the peanut dealers, and I was told that the trade was taking peanuts - much better than they were a short time ago, though they said they were not buying as largely as in former seasons. Jumbos were selling whole sale for 12 1-2 cents per lb., fancies for 9 cents and shelled goods were bringing good prices. A man engaged j ir the manufacture of candy and I salted peanuts told me he could not turn out enough each day to take crae of the demand, and he said he was getting 28 cents per lb., for salt ed peanuts. It seems to me there is not the least excuse for the exceed mgiy low price 01 peanuts at xnis time. I feel that the farmers of the peanut sections are being robbed of their birthright. Whether the unfortu ijj nate condition that is paralyzing ?very phase of our business life is due to the foolish policy of many ! termers who are falling over each other in their effort to sell peanuts regardless of price, brought about L in some instances by unscrupulous * peanut buyers, who have told the . farmers there was such a large crop of Virginia peanuts on hand that half the crop would have to be used for oil, or whether it is due to the ex pensive process of cleaning, grading and handling these peanuts, or the large profits of those engaged in the k business, I do not know. I do know 1 however, that there is simething radi cally wrong somewhere, when a pro duct so rich in food value and used in so many ways, is selling for less than the cost of production at a time when the world is so much in nee< food, as at present. It is high time for ,? * our farmers to stop, look and listen so that they may realize that the pre Ant price of peanuts is less than the cost of production in 1918, and less " than we can produce them for in 1919, since labor is no cheaper and fertilizer is from six to eight dollars per ton higher. The prosperity of the farmer .the merchants, the banker the horse dealer and the fertilizer people,*and in fact, almost every class of our people, is affected by the peanut market so let us all meet to gether in Suffolk on the 11th, and see H we cannot devise some plan by which we can bring order out of chaos and stabilize and strengthen the market, so we can get a fair price for our peanuts. If the farmers, the merchants and the local speculator! only had confidence in the market, 1 am satisfied the unsold portion of this crop would bring a price at leas! equal the cost of production. I hope to have with us on the lit! a representative from the Produc* Exchange Eastern Shore, who may b? able to give up some heMol informs, tion on the subject of ?o-oper?tiv< 'marketing. I also hope to have wit} us a tobacco grower and a dairyman to tell us of their experience anc m how they made a great success of their business in our section, in or der that diversified fanning may be stimulated. Trusting that the farmer* and all others interested in increasing the price of our peanuts will meet with ua in Suffolk, and I hereby request the people who are interested in this matter to have this article published in their local papers, or at least pub lish notice of the meeting to be held in Suffolk, on March 11th, 1919.
