Peanut Representatives Seek
Increase In Acreage For 1955
— M
Likely Thai Domestic
Supplies Will Not
Satisfy Demands
Representatives of tlie Virginia
and North Carolina Peanut Grow*
, era Association, uloiik with repre
sentatives of the shelters of the
Vlrginia-Carolina area, appeared
before J. K. Thigpen, United States
Department of Agriculture, on
March 23rd, in mi effort to secure
an increase in the 1965 peanut
acreage allotment, accordiriK to
Joe S. Sugg, executive Secretary,
North Carolina I’canut Growers
Association,
Mr. Sugg pointed out that in
view of the short national supplies
of peanuts that increased .imports
from foreign countries had been
authorized recently liy the Presi
dent. It now appears that the
available domestic supplies, plus
the authorized, inere,-ise in imports,
will not he enough (it satisfy the
domestic needs. This.condition has
been brought about, said Sugg, by
an increased consurtiption of pen
nuts and peanut prothuds within
the last few months. He further
peinted out that reports from the
southeasteni and tlie southwestern
peanut produt ing areas of tlie
United States, indicated that <lue to
condition of seed and continued
drought that; it is evident .that
these areas will not be able to
plant, and harvest their full allot
ments, Mr. Sugg states that in- 1
view of these <levetopmeiits that the I
North Carolina and Virginia peanut
growers felt that an increase ini
the allotments of the Virginia-type
peanut, as pnxluced in North Car
olina and Virginia, would help
guarantee the domestic peanut sup
plies, which will lie needed by the
consuming public in tPod.
According to Mr. Sugg, funnel's
should not get their hopes too high
for increased allotments hut should
know that tlie associations are
making an effort in this direction.!
The Department of Agriculture in-;
cheated that it would announce a
hearing immediately to determine
whether or not such an increase
could or should he made.
Mr. Sugg stated that announce
ment would he made through the
press as soon as it could be de
lermined. w hether or not an in
crease in tile 1 Has allotments would
be made available,

’ Prospects Bright
1 For Laying Flocks
i _________
1 Prospects for profits from well
' managed laying flocks appear very
I good for next fall, according to C.
1 I*. Id beau, State College extension
• marketing specialist. I,ong-nm
! competition in laying flocks point
toward low dr income' per bird but
1 also lower costs per hen and flock
; of 1.000 hens or more over the next
: 111 years.
1 Price outlooß for future months
may be used in ma’klnjt farm plans
‘ for higher incomes and profits.
: Tins present strength in egg prices
■ is related to the expectation of a
1 smaller supply of eggs next fall,
; lie adds.
Libeati points to tile fact that in
the past five months, fewer pullets '
have been started than last year at
the Same period. Greatest redue
-1 tion in potential layers for next
i fall ins been in the surplus egg
producing states of the mid-weft i
1 that send many eggs to North Gar-'ll
olina. ;. ; 1
Farmers received an average.of!
20.7 cents per pound live weight
for chickens (farm chickens and
| commercial broilers) in mid-Feb- •
I jruary,( compared with 22.4 cents a ]
I year earlier. Farm chickens aver- '
; aged 18.8 cents and comniercial
I I broilers 25.2 cents, .compared with ,
21.7 and 22.6, respectively, in in id
-1 February last year. Farm turkey 1
prices on February 15 averaged !
28.1 cents a pound live weight, com
pared with 33,2 cents a year earlier.
Since the February egg-feed,
farm chicken-feed, and turkey-feed !
ratios were less favorable than a
year ago, some producers will drop
l out. Farmers that go into prodne-
I tion when others are getting nut.
very often find themselves w ith
higher profits.
