Removal of approximately 13.500.-
00Q pounds of low. grade shelled pea
nuts from edible trade channels in re
cent weeks has helped substantially
to stimulate the market for farmers
stock peanuts of the 1947 crop. .'
la the opinion of E. 1L Johnson,
manager -of the Growers Peanut Co
operative, Inc. ; far m et-directed
agency through which government
peanut programs are handled in this
area, this, quantity of No. 2 peanuts
would have been available to the
edible trade and would have had a
depressing effect on the market
GPO bought these peanuts from
dealers under contract with Com
modity Credit ' Corporation in this
area, the dealers being required by
CCC to pay producers not less than
support- prices for their 1947 crop
Farmers Stock Peanuts No. 2 peanuU
represented about 86 per cent of the
1M00,000 pounds, oil peanuts repres
enting the remainder, or about 14
per cent
More than five million pounds of
the total purchased by GPC were ex
ported to Austria by boat from Nor
folk and the remainder was sold to
local oil mills for crushing into oil
and meal.
Roughly, 13,500,000-pounds of shell
4d peanuts amounts to 19,300,000
pounds of farmers stock peanuts, ap
proximately 195,000 bags.
In addition, Johnson revealed that
the association had purchased ap
proximately 11 million pounds of
farmers stock peanuts of the 1947
crop directly from producers for
which they have been paid 1947 crop
support prices. Of these 11 million
pounds, sales have been confirmed to
oil mills for approximately two mil
lion pounds. ,
All the peanuts involved in these
transactions were produced in the
area served by the GPC, Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee and the
nertheastern part of South Carolina.
Warehouses throughout this area will
be open through June 30 to purchase
merchantable Farmers Stock Peanuts
of the 1947 Crop at government sup
port prices.
