organisation of a large exohange for
cpme into our mtdat aa representatives t
of the present peanut exchange, li
uuri which baa to its credit among
other things, having secured the pea
nut market rapotr service through the s
United States Bureau oI Markets.. J I
The contract which they are pre- K
seating to the growers to sign, is
based on the commodity plan of mar
keting, of California, which has won I
such an enviable reputation for the d
successful marketing of all farm pro-; 
ducts grown in that state. Not only >
nre the peanut growers of those two
states the first east of the Mississippi
to attempt to organise on the com- 
modity basis, but there is no other i
crop that is more favorable for suc.t f
an organisation or that needs mora
a better system of marketing. | f
The outstanding feature or 'theso «
commodity associations iK that the
growers agree to marktt their craps
for a period of years through a eon' i
tral exchange or selling association,
which builds up its own tystem of dis
tribution and which is ever working 
to secure an increased consumption oi
its products through an educational
campaign of publicity. That such a '
campaign of publicity for peanuts ant «
peanut prodtjets is sorely needed is !
emphasised by the fact that the pres- i
ent peanut exchange has sold ov«>
$6,000 worth of peanuts by parcel
post to response to a small advertise
ment one time in the November lssu I
of two national magazines and that 
aa the result of n demonstration re «
cently held in a 5 and 10-oont atom I
to Norfolk n carlonJ of ljeanuts ami i
peanut products were sold to thirty j
days. 
Two exceptionally good reasons why I
' the growers of Martin county shouh |
not hesitate to sign this growers' con- i
tract is that already more than 3,7(h 
growers in other counties have al
1 ready signed and that the extenslo .
workers of both Virginia and Nort>
1 Carolna are giving this movement
their hearty support These agricul- =
1 tural loaders are halping to put thi
1 exchange across on the broad ground
that the organiantion of the peanu
growers is not only necessary for th
1 peanut industry, but will set th#p§cc
for the tobaagp and cotton growers to
( follow.
