This figure is equi valent to an allotment of 1.610,000 acres, the same as in 1942, In addition to this acreage, how ever, which is sufficient to supply the normal needs of the edible trade, the Secretary of Agriculture has set a Food-for-Freedcm goal of peanuts for crushing into oil at 3,890,000 acres, making a total of 5V2 million acres in the two clasifications, a mil lion acres more than it is estimated will be harvested in 1942 and half-a million acres above the 1942 goal. Farmers in this area responded magnificiently to the Department of Agriculutre's plea for excess pea nuts in 1942 for crushing into oil, according to W. T. Parker, manager of the Growers Peanut Co-Operative, Inc., the agency which channels Carolinas-Virginia-Tennessee pea nuts and soybeans into the oil trade for the Agricultural Marketing Ad ministration, and added that while producers are being asked to greatly increase their peanut production in 1943 USDA officials point out that peanut marketing quotas divide the crop between edible and oil purposes, thus assuring the edible trade a reasonable amount with which to operate, and diverting the remainder into peanut oil. While the 1943 quota will not be subjected to a referendum since pea nut producers in 1941 approved mar keting quotas for each of the three years—1941, 1942 and 1943—the De partment of Agriculture has recom mended a single price system for pea nuts in 1943, whether for edible use or for oil. Such a program would assure growers of an average return of between 80 and 85 per cent of parity, meaning an average price of about 6 1-5 cents a pound in the old producing areas of this section. A program of this type requires legislation which has already been introduced by Congressman Pace of Georgia, in a bill that would suspend marketing quotas in 1943 and 1944, with the referendum to be held for 1945. If a single price plan or its equivalent is not possible, price sup port programs for peanuts for both edible and oil purposes, similar to those now in force, will be continued in 1943.
