Price Support For 1961 Crop Os
Peanuts Set At $221.00 Per Ton
Secretary Orville Freeman, the
new Secretary of Agriculture,
announced the price support this
week for peanuts for the 1961
crop at $221.00 per ton. This
price is the average which ap
plies to all types of peanuts pro
duced in the United States, The
price support, as applied to the
Virginia type peanut, will be
$20.00 per ton more than the
iB6O support level, or $232.00 per
ton. This is a $20.00 per ton in
crease in the support level, which
amounts to 85% of parity. How
ever, since there will be no $9.00
deduction for administrative cost
from the support, level, it will
mean to the peanut farmers a
$28.00 per ton increase over the
loan rate received last year.
This increase figures at the rate
of $1.45 per hundred pounds if
you are thinking in tenfis of
cents per pound increase.
The announcement made this
week is known as the pre-plan
ning announcement which can
not be lowered but, if the sup
ply situation is such as to war
rant it, the secretary may in

crease the support level on Aug
ust Ist to as much as 90% of
parity. The North Carolina Pea
nut Growers Association, along
with other grower organiza
tions, recommended to the sec
retary that the pre-planning' an
nouncement be on the basis of
90% of parity with no deduc
tions. However, the supply situ
ation as of March Ist was such
that the 85% level was in line,
as announced by the secretary.
This IV4-cent per pound in
crease certainly should be en
couraging to all peanut growers
in North Carolina, and all cer
tainly should respond to this
price incentive to the extent
that all means available should
be exploited to produce the best
crop possible in order that
abundant supplies of high qual
ity peanuts will be available at
harvest time for millers and
manufacturers using the Vir
ginia type peanut. This is cer
tainly a clear demonstration of
the attitude of the officials of the
present administration that they
wish to improve the farmers’ in-

referred to above will not only
mean increased income to the
peanut growers . but will contri
bute to a large degree to the
economic stability of the com

Mrs. Maloney was telling her
neighbor that she had just re
ceived a telegram stating that
her soldier son had arrived safe
ly in India that morning.
The neighbor was amazed by
the news.
“What!” she exclaimed. “That
seems impossible, Mrs. Maloney.
The telegram must have traveled
at a terrific speed.”
“Sure and faith it must have,”
said the proud mother. “Would
you believe it, when I received
the envelope the gum on it was
still moist.”
Nothing is more gratifying to
the mind of man than power or
dominion. —Joseph Addison.
