The North Carolina Marketing
Commission will hold meetings be
ginning March 8 'in several points
in North Carolina. The purpose of
these meetings is to hear from farm
ers, handlers, and consumers the
problems involved in the marketing
of North Carolina's fruits and vege

the Commission hopes to come up
with a solution and to establish a
marketing system that will insure
producers a fair price for their pro
ducts.
In order to be of assistance to the
Commission in soiving our many
marketing problems, there should
be a good attendance of1 producers,
handlers, and consumers at all of
these meetings. ,
Unused Peanut Allotments
Farmers who will not plant all of
their 1954 peanut allotment are
urged to release the unused acreage
to the County Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation Committee,
This acreage then may be appor
tioned to other growers in the coun
ty, states J. L. Nicholson, Market
ing Quota Specialist for the ASC,
The final date for releasing 1954
peanut acreage will be announced
at a later date.
Nicholson points out that , the
grower who release acreage; lot
1954 may still have ft counted In
determinine the allotment for his
farm in 1955 and future years un
less the farm becomes ineligible for
a 1955 old farm allotment because
no peanuts were picked of threshed
0 nthe farm in 1952, 1953, or 1954. On
the other hand, the grower who is
reducing his peanut acreage or go
ing but of peanut production can
relinquish his acreage permanently
for redistribution , to other ' county
grower" V ; 'J.V''',; V.1? ';
Nicholson explains that the acre
age released to the county will be
reapportioned to other growers who
haye filed applications. ;r
