C Peanut Yield Highest OnRecord Production Up 5 Per Cent; Acreage Is . Down Slightly The 1954 peanut yield is estimat ed at 1,650 'pounds per acre. , This is the highest yield of record, ex ceeding the previous record of 1,- 590 poends in 1952 by 60 pounds per acre. The total production ; of picked and threshed peanuts is 5 percent above last year but 5 percent be low the 10-year average produc tion. This year's crop was harvest ed from 173,000 acres 4,000 acres or 2 percent below the acreage har vested in l'J53. v j The crop got off to a very slow start due to damp, cool weather during the early spring and many producers had to replant a portion of their acreage due to poor stands. J The crop received frequent scatter ed showers throughout most of the growing season and was never dam aged severely by dry weather. Weather conditions during he digging and threshing season were ideal and most of the crop has been harvested with practically no loss due to unfavorable weather. Upon picking numy growers found that the crop was turning out much bet ter than earlier expectations. N. C.
