Peanut Planting
Is Slowed Down
By Cool Weather
Crop About Harvested
In Virginia-Carolina i
Section
-
Coo! nights have slowed down
planting in south Texas but this
should become more active around
April 1. In the Southeast weather
conditions are also delaying plant
ing. Labor conditions are expected
to. be something of a factor in de
termining the acreage of peanuts
which will go into the ground this:
year. In the Southwest some mills
have discontinued shelling operations)
until after seed requirements have
been met. Considerable seed in that
section will be planted in the shell. |
In the Southeast many shelters 1
continue to devote practically their,
entire time to the preparation of
seed and mixing and distribution of.
fertilizers for the coming planting'
season.
In. the Virginia-Carolina section;
harvesting of last fall's 'crop- is*
practically completed) although a
few fields may still remain unpicked.!
Movement of farmers’ stock peanuts
has been fair in this territory. De
mand for shelled Virginias, cleaned
jumbos in Virginia, and for all shell
ed goods in both the Southeast and
Southwest has been far in: excess of
available supplies at ceiling levels,
plus markups. In the Virginia-Caro
lina area there appear to be suffi
cient faricys to meet current demand
with some mills reporting a little
accumulation of this grade. Fancy's |
have been selling mostly in mixed
cars with either shelled Virginias or!
cleaned jumbos at 15-15Uc per 1b.,-

1. Make employers and anions equal
in responsibility under the law.
2. Let Congress set the rules for genu
ine collective bargaining, free from
coercion and violence, and then let gov
ernment enforce these rules with strict
impartiality.
3. Provide safeguards for the public
against strikes or boycotts arising from
disputes between unions.
4. Insure against strikes until all order
ly procedures for settling disputes have
been exhausted.
Your representatives in Congress have
the power to establish this pattern for
