Bonner- in offering Virginia type peanut fanners virtual assurance that ail peanuts grown un der the 1960 allotment provisions will be taken into the edible peanut trade. I He peanuts can be diverted into the edible trade only if the Secretary 1 Agriculture declares that there is a short supply of that particular type of peanut1- . " iPMA Administrator Ralph 'S.' Trigg, in a statement last week to the Agii- cufture Committee, assured," however, that it is reasonable to assume that there will be a short supply of Vir ginia type nuts this year. He based his assumption on the fact that there were not enough Vir ginia type nuts to meet the demand last, year and that the acreage has been cut again this year. , Trigg explained that should a short age be declared the oil peanuts will be sold at 105 per cent of the support price, plus a reasonable carrying charge. .. - uongressman Bonner sponsored a provision in the 1950 allotments which permits farmers to raise oil peanuts in excess of their regular al lotments provided the total acreage does not exceed that of 1947 mouth Va, ' r- , " " (Mrs. C.
