, i 111 II inII '!■—I 11.1. mmm American People Asked To Consume Tons Os Peanuts Each Person Requested To Eat a Pound Dur ing Peanut Week American people will consume 144,- 000,000 pounds of peanuts during National Peanut Week, April 3rd through 9th, if the wishes of Ralph McMillan of the Bristow, Oklahoma Peanut Company come true. Accord ing to McMillan, who is chairman of the Board of Directors of the Nation al Peanut Council, Atlanta, Ga., this country produced approximately two and one-third billion pounds of pea nuts this year, and he asks each citi zen of the United States to eat at least a pound during Peanut Week. This week Mr. McMillan stated that: “I agree with Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan, who says that American farmers are liv ing on borrowed time. The peanut industry is anxious to cooperate with the Federal government in its farm adjustment program. With the pres ent crop valued at more than $200,- €OO,OOO and the value of next year’s crop uncertain, the big job of the in dustry is to create a greater con sumer demand than ever before.” Secretary of Agriculture Brannan said recently that United States ag riculture is living on “borrowed time” because high food exports under the Marshall Plan have given farmers a ■“respite from postwar readjustment.” “Eventually”, Brannan said in his annual report to President Truman, “the respite will be over and our farmers will depend on the buying power of individual consumers at home and abroad. “Adjustment to the change will not be easy. “I think the time has come to pon der what it may involve.” Brannan said that “ostensibly the agricultural developments resemble those of 1947 and appear to exclude anxiety about surpluses and low prices for most farm products. Each year, however,” he added, “brings normal conditions nearer—conditions of lessened world dependency on American farm products." “It is largely due to Brannan’s comprehensive report,” said Mr. Mc- Millen, “that the First National Pea nut Industry Conference has been called to convene in Washington, D. C., April 10th through 12th, dur ing the same time that the National Peanut Council holds its annual con vention, and in connection with it.” “Every association in the peanut industry is expected to be represent ed there,” he said.
