TO BUILD NEW PEANUT FACTORY The Columbian Peanut Company has decided to build a new peanut fac tory in Scotland Neck to replace the one which was destroyed by fire last month. Plans are going forward to begin work on the new structure in the near future. The five story peanut factory burn ed in March at a loss of approximate ly $60,000,000, which was covered with insurance. The new building is to be in a dif ferent location. Six acres of land have been bought and the new structure will go up on a tract of land just off the end of Josey Street, an extension to North Roanoke Street. It will be on the Hoffman property on the west ^ide of the railroad, in the corporate! limits of the town. j W. E. Allmond manager of the Co lumbian Peanut Company, states that plans call for a building with much more floor space than the old one and room and work for double the number of employees. The new struc ture will not go in the air as high as the old one but will be much larg er. It will be completed in time to handle next year’s peanut crop in this section. The old factory turned out about 600 bags of peanuts daily; the new one will turn out 1,000. The monthly payroll will be about $3,000 and Scot land Neck and Halifax County will get between five and six hundred dol lars yearly for taxes from the com pany. Several towns put in strong bids for the factory. County Women Seek Home Demonstration Members of the womens clubs of Hertford County are not yet ready to give up home demonstration work and preliminary meetings have already been held in one or more clubs for the purpose of presenting strong argu ments to the County Commissioners against the discontinuance of the borne agent. Other agencies in the county also will assist in the move ment to convince the county board that the extension work among the women should not be discontinued. The women think the Commission ers acted hastily in deciding to discon tinue the home agent in the county Monday of last week at the regular April meeting, because, they say, no opportunity was given them to pre sent the matter formally. Trie meet-1 ing at that time was called for the purpose of deciding whether a farm agent was to be employed to fill the place of C. A. Rose, resigned, and the women had given no thought to a de cision on the home agent work.
