“Proper harvesting and thorough
drying of peanuts before sending
them to market is most important,”
says County Agent C. W. Overman.
“This is definitely borne out in the
experience of some growers, buyers
and processors in handling the 1946
crop.”
Mr. Overman quotes from a recent
article published in the News and
Observer:
“W. M. Stephenson of Pendleton, a
peanut buyer and grower for more
than 45 years, said that ‘the 1946
crop of peanuts gave him consider
able worry after it was called to his
attention that they were showing a
larger percentage of damaged ker
nels than peanuts from Virginia.’
“In making a study as to the cause
Mr. Stephenson reached the conclu
sion that farmers as a whole in North
Carolina dug their peanuts and put
them directly out of the ground into
the stack without any chance of wilt
ing and curing in the geld. The
vines being full of sap, its green
foliage and dirt cause the peanuts to^

I go through a heat and damage. He
found that iarmers in Virginia used
sulphur dust on their peanuts just as
farmers in North Carolina, but did
not have the large percentage of
! damaged kernels. He found the prac
tice in Virginia was to dig the pea
’ nuts and let them dry on the ground
, a day and a half or two days before
. stacking, which eliminated the dam-
I age.”
! Farmers in Chowan County have
sulphur dusted approximately 4,000
acres Or more of their peanut crop
! this year, says Mr. Overman. Over
man says this is a good practice in
peanut growing and will pay good
dividends in increased yields of pea
nuts and increased yield and quality
.of hay, provided the peanuts are dug
properly, allowed to wilt on the
ground one to two days before stack
ing, enough additional stack poles are
used so that stacks will be no larger
around than normal, slats are nailed
on the poles 12 to 18 inches above
the ground so that good air circula
tion will result, and the peanuts are
left in the stack until they thoroughly
cure and dry before picking. Ac
cording to reports ooming to Mr.
Overman, buyers are going to be on
the alert this year to detect improp-

erly cured peanuts and those con
taining excess moisture and damaged
kernels. Damaged peanuts or those
carrying excess moisture will most
likely be cut in price to off-sdt losses
that might occur in storage.
Mr. Overman pleads with all farm
ers who have sulphur dusted their
crop to use every precaution possible
to complete the harvesting And pre-;
paration of peanuts for nuugjcet so i
that they will absolutely dry and
bring’' top market prices. “A good
job well done in sulphur dusting pea
nuts will pay good dividends,” says
Mr. Overman.
