of peanuts on his home farm five
miles from Fayetteville on the
Raleigh highway.
Crop reports for 1936 show
that the average North Carolina
farmer produced 1,125 pounds of
peanuts to the acre. Rudolph
more than doubled this average,
because that year he had harvest
ed 2,304 pounds of goobers from
his one-acre project. And, in ad
dition, he had made a ton ol
peanut hay.
Still, after, figuring labor, rent
of land, and fertilizer, all of
which amounted to 352.04, Ru
dolph wasn’t exactly satisfied
with selling his crop of peanuts
for 3 1-2 cents a pound. Even
throwing in the hay. worth about
$15, his total return would have
been only about $35.
Being an Ingenious youngster,
he decided to market his crop in
another way. Why can’t I, he
thought, roast the-^e peanuts and
sell them In Fayetteville?
And In that thought was born
business, that was to gain State
wide recognition for this hustling,
red-headed Cumberland County
farm boy.
Roasting was a problem until
he decided to use his mother’s
the
finished product to market was
accomplished through the use of
bicycle.
In Three Week.s
In three weeks, the business
had outgrown the kitchen stove
stage, and Rudolph was forced to
look for a roaster with a larger
capacity. A ten-gallon oil drum
with an axle through the center
and a handle on one end of the
axle did the trick. A trailer for
his bicycle increased his transport
capacity.
A ready market for the peanuts
was found In grocery stores, serv
ice stations, and other places
where soft drinks and candy were
sold. Merchants liked to do busi
ness with the youngster because
he gave them a high-quality pro
duct that met with public favor.
The second year, 1937, Ru
dolph grew five acres of peanuts.
And at harvest time, his 10-gal
lon roaster was unable to take
care of the rapidly-expanding
business. So another roaster, this
time one made from a 30-gallon
oil drum, was pressed into service.
The bicycle and trailer also
were unable to take care of his
transportation needs, so he bor
rowed his father’s car to make
deliveries. At the same time, with
the aid of the auto, he extended
his market to cover nearby towns
of Dunn, Ulllngton, and Erwin.
Still the business jTew. In
1938, his third year, he planted
20 acres of peanuts, and bought
half-interest in an automobile.
That year his market was expand-
(d again to Include Elizabeth
town, White Lake, St. Pauls, and
Hope Mills. Now he was working
towns within a radius of 40 miles
of Fayetteville.
All this time. Rudolph was go
ing io school, taking an active
part In 4-H Cluih work, and con
ducting his peanut business, to
which he added potato chips in
the latter part of 1938.
Developing a market wasn’t as
to hts line about the last of this
year.
For his outstanding work, Ru
dolph, now 20 years old, was se
lected as one of the four North
Carolina 4-H Club delegates to
the National Cluih Camp which
was held recently in Washington.
L. R. Harrni, 4-H Club leader
of State College, was high in his
praise of young Ellis, pointing
him out as a good example of one
who capitalized on the opportun
ities afforded in 4-H Club wdrk.
