Growers Requested Peanut Quotas Vote ?? Peanut (rowers of North Carolina will have the opportunity to halt fur ther expansion of peanut produc tion in the Southeastern and South western areas when they vote on three-year marketing quotas for the crop on April 26. says E Y. Floyd. AAA executive officer of N. C. State College. "Peanut growers of this State have been duly alarmed in recent years by the increase in commercial peanut acreage in other states to the South and West," Floyd said. "They have requested the right to use quotas, similar to those pro tecting the tobacco and cotton mar kets." In 1928. the AAA officer reported, the North Carolina-Virginia area produced 46 per cent of the commer cial peanuts in the United States last year they produced only 32.8 per cent. Production in Georgia has increased from 315,000 acres in 1930 to 663,000 acres last year, and in Texas the increase has been from 120,000 acres in 1930 Uy 295.000 acres in 1940 During the same period North Carolina peanut production has remained fairly steady, increas ing only from 205,000 acres in 1930 to 225.000 acres in 1940 UK.

If quotas are rejected, the law recently enacted by the Congress prohibits a diversion | program or loans. The government spent- $10,000,000 I in diverting surplus peanuts into oil in 1940, and without this price sup port Floyd said it is generally agreed that prices paid for edible nuts would have fallen to about the price of the oil market. If two-thirds of those voting ap prove the new peanut marketing plan, individual farm quotas for 1941 will be the actual production on the acreage allotment under the Agri cultural Conservation Program. Most North Carolina farmers have already received their conservation program allotments for 1941. Livestoc k Prices Re|>orted Higher #??^ Raleigh?North Carolina farmers j received substantially greater prices for the livestock products last month compared with the same period in 1940 "as a result of increased pur chasing power, partially attributed to an expansion of national defense program," T L. Stuart, junior sta tistician of the State Department of Agriculture, reported today. Quoting the U. S. Agricultural Marketing Service report for March 15, comparing prices with the same date last year. Stuart said that liogs brought $6.80, up $1.50 per 100 pounds; beef cattle, $6 10 per 100 pounds, up 30 cents; veal calves. $8.50 per 100 pounds, up 60 cents; sheep, $4.90 per 100 pounds, up 20 cents. Chickens were selling for an av erage of 15 cents a pound March 15. ( or 1.3 cents above the same date last year; butter averaged producers 24 cents a pound, or two cents above the same period a year ago. The price report for March 15 com pared with the same period in 1940, j follows: Wheat, $1 per busltel, down tune 1 cents; corn, 70 cents a bushel, up five cents; oats. 55 cents a bushel, down one cent; barley, 79 cents a bushel, same as last year; rye, 97 cents a bushel, down one cent; Irish pota toes, 75 cents a bushel, down 25 cents; sweet potatoes, 85 cents a bushel, up 15 cents. Peanuts Provisions of the 1941 Agricultur al Conservation program will be amended so as to permit the growing of peanuts for oil on any part of the cotton acreage allotment' not used for cotton The United States exported food stuffs valued at $15,949,000 during j February of this year, representing j a decrease of 50 per cent from the same month of last year, reports the | Department of Commerce.
