Parker, manager of the Growers Peanut Co operative, Inc. . He went on to say, quoting J. B. Hutson, president of the Commodity Credit Corporation, that one or more receiving points will be established to each county having a peanut goal. Farmers will market their peanuts directly through shellers, oil mills or cooperatives, end will be paid in cash at the time of delivery. There will be a one-price system for all peanuts produced in 1943; the O price will not be less than 85 percent of parity on January 15, 1943, or on July 16, 1943, whichever is higher. With the parity price on January 15 this would mean an average price to producers of not less than $129 per ton for all types of peanuts. “There is urgent need for all the peanuts farmers can grow and each farmer should plant as large an acre age pf peanuts above his goal as he can handle,” Mr. Parker said. j r CROSS ROADS j i j Mrs. W.
