cleaning the peanuts of the grower-members
of the Exchange for
the coming season. Negotiations
for cleaning the entire 1922 crop
of peanuts for the Exchange have
been under way for some weeks
and have just completed. The
Columbian Peanut Company ef
Norfolk has been awarded the
contract. This company, with
its ten plants well distributed
over the peanut belt of Virginia
and North Carolina, has ample
buyers J facilities for cleaning double the
quantity of peanuts handled by
the Exchange last year and is
also prepared to store large quau-j Commonwealth
titles ot peanuts.
While the exact terms of the
cleaning contract were not di
vulged, Mr. Alexander states that
bv reason of the decided advan
tages of the new cleaning con
tract, coupled with the very
substantial reduction in storage
costs, that the Exchange will be
able to operate for approximate-
ly one third ot its last year s
costs for cleaning and storing.
Mr. Alexander states that the
saving on a full year's operation
on the new basis as compared lo
that of last year will be approx

One of the outstanding tea-j
tures of the new, cleaning ai- (
rangement is the fact that no j
provision is made for selling!
either cleaned goods or farmers' j
stock to the cleaners. The sales j
angle is to be handled entirelvj
by the Exchange through its own !
selling organization. i
'The Exchange contract withj
the Suffolk Peanut Company,
which created such a furore iu
peanut circles, has been complet
ed and will not be renewed. The
cleaning operations of the Ex
change are now being handled by
the Columbian Peanut Company
of Norfolk and Pond Brothers o
Suffolk.
This -arrangement by the Ex
change to have all its peanuts
cleaned this season is in striking
contrast with its general unpre
paredness for beginning business
last year and is an evidence that
under its new management the
Exchange will become a bigger
and more intelligent factor in the
handling of the peanut crop of
