PAGE FOUR Peanut Supply In Excess Os Last Year Farmers Urged To Ar range Adequate Stor age Facilities Farm Bureau Executive Vice-Presi dent R. Flake Shaw, of Greensboro, says that the total supply of peanuts on hand at this time is substantially in excess of last year, and called on farm leaders in the North Carolina and Virginia peanut-producing counties to make arrangements at once to provide adequate storage' facilities for this year’s crop. Shaw said the total consumption oi shelled peanuts, including oil stocks for crushing, totaled 699 million pounds through July of this year. “This is about 29 per cent less than the consumption of 982 million pounds at the end of July last year, he added. ... * The Farm Bureau chief pointed out that information released by the vari ous crop reporting services indicates a somewhat smaller peanut yield, in the southeast and southwest growing areas this year due to recent drought conditions. “This information may be misleading because it neglects to men tion the large stocks of peanuts on hand and gives the farmer the im pression that a short crop will in crease the market demand,” he said. Shaw said under the arrangements for handling this year’s peanut crop, the buyers would not be bound to any support principle, and unless the farm er is in a position to protect him self, he may have to sell his crop for considerably less than the sup port price. He urged all leaders in the peanut counties of North (Carolina and Vir ginia to meet with producrs and members of the Production and Mar keting Administration Committees for the purpose of determining the avail ability of existing and potential fa cilities for both on-the-farm and off the-farm storage. Shaw said that storage facilities must be approved by PMA before pro ducers would be permitted to partici pate in the loan program. TAM THEATRE EDENTON, N. C.

NiCMGA Executive Secretary, J. T. Outlaw, stated that drivers should slow down and look sharp at these times, whether or not a school patrol man or crossing officer was on duty. Open playgrounds need special watch ing because a youngster absorbed in! play is not easily distracted by any-1 thing—even an onrushing vehicle. “Most cities have special speed limits for school zones,” Outlaw con tinued, “which a resident should learn and obey.” # All speed zones in rural areas are not the same, as general statute No. 20-141.1 provides that the State High way and Public Works Commission ★ When it comes to your food budget it’s a genuine pleas * ure to be able to find the quality foods you insist on at prices that make it far easier to do your meal planning!

Recent Rains Help ij Strawberry Growers , The past month of earth-loosening l rains has given strawberry growers! an opportunity to reset plants, accord i ing to H. R. Ndswonger, in charge of horticulture extension for N. C. i State College. Last spring, according" to Niswen ger, over 300,000 strawberry plants were set by 4-H members, however drought and hot weather caused en tire sections of plants in rows to die. Still, there was a surplus of new plants .in., sections of the .rows, not killed. Marits from these areaenpw can be transplanted tt> The 'vacant spaces, Niswonger points out. He advises farmers to select well rooted runner plants, With four or five leaves, for resetting. Set the plants at the width of a hoe and not over eight inches apart in the row late in the evening. The crown should be level with the ground. Do not cover the crown or center of the plant with dirt, Niswonger warns. He recommends fertilization the lat ter part of September with three ! quarts of dO-6-4 or four quarts of 8-8-8 per 110 feet in sandy or loam soils. On heavier soils, reduce the amount of fertilizer. Pure straw, pine needles, or grain straw should be piled near the straw berry planting for use as a mulch -this winter. The straw should be < aaaaAwAAAAAAAAAAAi • spread over the plant* after the first frost to prevent the crown of buds from freezing and to keep the berries clean at harvest time.
