SECTION TWO- State Peanut Crop Lower Than 1953 Estimate of Yield Per Acre Second High est on Record Based on reports received from growers as of October 1, the Crop Reporting Service estimates the 1954 peanut crop in North Carolina at 261,- 950,000 pounds. A crop of this size would be 3 per cent below the 1953 crop of 270,810,000 pounds. Current prospects indicate a yield of 1,550 pounds per acre—this is un changed from a month earlier. Scat tered rains fell over much of the com mercial area during September, al lowing most of the crop to mature without being damaged heavily' by dry weather. If realized, this yield would be the second highest of record, be ing exceeded only by 1952 when the average yield was 1,590 pounds per acre. - •; , ■ • N. C.
