cash-and-carry operation.
Colonial Stores entered the super
market field in 1937 and now oper
ates almost 200 of these popular food
centers. These super markets have
thrived on public acceptance of added
variety of merchandise, every-day low
prices and strict adherence to high
standards of quality and service, com
pany officials said. N
Colonial Stores always have pur
chased large quantities of produce
grown in the areas served by the
stores and this policy will be con
tinued with increasing benefits as
operations are expanded, officials of
the company stated.
The organization also has taken an
active part in the promotion of 4-H
Club and other programs for young
fanners and Colonial Stores' buyers
regularly attend fat, cattle shows in
key cities throughout the territory.
This company also sponsored the
“Food For Fighters” program during
the war years and has been interested
in egg marketing and other phases of
4-H Club work.
Colonial’s principal offices are in
Norfolk with division headquarters
in Atlanta. Warehouses are operated
in Durham, Savannah, Charleston,
Richmond, Greenville and Thomas

USDA Asks For 25%
Cut In Peanut Acreage
In order to receive a support price
of 90% parity as of July 15 for
1948-crop peanuts, producers must
vote at a referendum to be held be
fore December 15, 1947, to reduce
the nation’s 1948 peanut acreage to
about 75% of that planted in 1947,
according to Secretary of Agriculture
i Clinton P. Anderson’s recent pro
|clamation establishing 760,000 tons
■as the 1948-crop peanut marketing
quota. Secretary Anderson’s pro
clamation was occasioned by the
provisions of the Agricultural Ad
justment Act of 1938 which requires
that unless the supply of peanuts for
edifile products and vegetable oils is
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 7,1947.
below domestic demands and probable
exports, marketing'quotas must be
established.
The 760,000 ton figure was deter
mined by analyzing the actual dis
appearance of peanuts cleaned and
shelled during the last five years,
which averaged 673;000 tons farmers’
stock and the prospective disappear
ance from the 1947-48 crops which
is estimated at 579,000 tons. It also
includes an estimated tonnage al
lowed for seed, feed and home use on
farms and for damaged nuts.
To produce • the 1947 marketing
quota, the 3,136,000 acreage planted
in 1947 would be reduced to 2,324,109
in 1948, based on a yield of 654
pounds per acre.
