PEANUT MEET
B. B. Derrick, Federal Bu
reau of Markets
Talks to Growers
A meeting of Martin county peanut
growers was held ut the courthouse
lust night with Mr. 11. U. Derrick,
ci the bureau of Markets, making the
main address.
Mr. Derrick, gave' something of the
iubU.ry of cooperative associations
throughout the country, and told oi
the success the majority of them have
utuiined. He gave reasons why the
few have failed. He explained-Jww the
government had in the years past
helped the farmer to produce larger
crop, but told how it had done nothing
until recently to help in the market
ing end.
With the government as an aid, the
farmer has produced large crops
which have been forced on low mar
kets and in this way the public has
been fed and clothed at low prices
but without prolft to the fmnny-
Mr. H. J. Vann, a field worker of
tlio peanut association, described the
condition of the peanut organization
and gave very interesting history of
the past, The first two years of the
Mtsociation were disastrous and carpe
near destroying it. This was charg
able in the main to the llirdsong ad
ministration. For the yearn,
the management has been good, how
ever, and it is now recognised by tho
leading bankers and business men of
tlie country as being sound and safe.
It is also recognized as being u great
faetor in holding price of peunuts
up.
The association last year handled
167,000 bags of the goobers and ex
pects soon to make final payment on
them.
" The indication now is that the de
livery this year will be considerably
larger than that of last year.
There w«ll be another meeting of
'.he growers the fourth Saturday even
ing in October at the courthouse here.
