Nut Growers Sign
Control Contract
N. C. Sccond Largest Peanut
Producing State; Sign-up
Ends February 15
The peanut sign-up, started on the
first of the year, must be completed by
around February 15, E. Y. Floyd, in
charge of the peanut program in North
Carolina, told the State Farmer in an
exclusive interview.
Mr. Floyd said that the sign-up is
progressing nicely, and said that it now
appeared it would go over equally as
well or better than it did last year when
more than 95- per cent of the glowers
signed contracts. The reduction in 1935
was 10 per cent. ,
North Carolina is the second largest
peanut producing state, being exceeded
only by Georgia. The total crop this
year was 185,750,000 pounds, or enough
to supply every man, woman and child
in the country with two quarts of pea
nuts and soine left over. The crop was
40,000,000 pounds above the five-year
average.
w earner was too wet ana rainy dur
ing November for curing and picking of
peanuts and the supplies moving into pri
mary markets were rather light. While
many of the nuts have shown shell blem- ;
ishes, the damage was not sufficient to
affect the kernels to any extent.
Demand for peanuts has been relative
ly slow during NoWmber and early De
cember, and prices have weakened in the
larger markets. Practically all of the
big Eastern markets in fact have shown
some weakness during this period. New
York prices for cleaned Virginias were
around 7* -8c for jumbos, 7-7*0 for
fancys and 6*-7c for extras. Philadel
phia, Boston and 'Pittsburgh prices were
about in line with New York, after al- |
lowing for differences in freight charges
from point of shipment.
Shelled Virginias were also easy, with
New York quoting 9-9 *c for extra large,
8-8 V for number ones and 7-7 He for
number twos.
'The total crop of peanuts is larger
this season than last, which has ? ten
dency to bear down the prices somewhat.
Total production for the oountry was
officially estimated on November 1 as
1 ,280,000,000 pounds, compared with
1,063,000,000 pounds last year. South
Carolina idso has a larger crop than last
season or ? I, 200,000 pounds compared
with 9,600,000 a year ago.
Cotton Used for Airports
The first cotton airport runway will
be installed at the Newark Airport in
the near future, the use of the cotton
runway being included in the specifica
tions for the construction and improve
ment of the airport.
More than 15,000 square yards of a
specially designed mesh fabric will be
used as a re-inforcing membrane1 between
the base and the asphalt top surface.
This recognition of the importance yf
cotton for airport runways will undoubt
edly open up "a large demand for cotton
within the next few years. Cotton roads
have been in use in some places for sev
eral years and have given excellent
service.
