Peanut Referendum
Many Questions Being:
Asked, Says J. M.
Price
Peanuts are the center of attention
in Chowan County these days because
of the peanut marketing quota ref
erendum, which will be held in all
peanut producing communities on
Tuesday, December 9.
J. M. Price, secretary to Chowan
County PMA Committee, says that
farmers are asking a lot of questions
about the referendum, because they
want to know the facts before they
vote. This interest has been created
because practically every farmer in
the county grows peanuts, and the
major farm income in Chowan coun
ty is derived from peanuts. Here are
some of the questions, with the an
swers:
What measures will be taken to
support peanut prices if farmers
vote for quotas in this referendum ?
Farmers who plant within their al
lotment in 1948 will be eligible for
Government loans and purchases on
their peanut crops at 50 per cent of
parity. Farmers whose 1948 peanut
acreage exceeds the allotment will
be eligible for price support only on
peanuts produced in excess of the
1948 marketing quota, but only at 54
per cent of parity.
What price supports will be avail
able if farmers vote against quotas
in this referendum?
Only 1948-crop peanuts which are
sold for crushing for oil will be
eligible for price support, and at a
level which probably will be about 45
per cent of the parity price for edible
peanuts.
The answers to these questions
cover the information of most in
terest to farmers. Next in line is
the question: How many acres of
peanuts can I plant on my farm under
marketing quotas and receive full
benefit of price supports ? That ques
tion will be answered about Novem
ber 15 when all farmers will be no
tified as to the 1948 allotment estab
lished for individual farms. The
acreage planted to peanuts in the
years 1944, 1945 and 1946 will be the
greater factor used in determining
the allotments.
Mr. Price urges all farmers to bear
in mind that a reduced acreage of
peanuts, with price support, is worth
more than the present planted acre
age without price support. A re
duction in acreage from that planted
since the beginning of the war will
enable farmers to carry out a better
rotation of crops and restore the fer
tility of the soil.
