Kilcocanen's deed of March, 1661 to the pioneer settler George Durant, has long been regarded as the oldest deed in North Carolina, giving Perquimans the oldest and best preserved records in the state. As Register of Deeds, Mrs. White is keenly aware of Perquimans' first contacts with the native Americans. She said further at the dedication, "The Yeopim Indians continued to befriend these pioneer settlers of the Albemarle area, and our Four Hundredth Anoivesary Committee felt that we should pause for a moment and pay tribute to them before we begin to celebrate our four hundred years of BngUsh history la ISM.

B. E. Marks, Manager, Peanut Growers Cooperative Marketing Association, and Sugg agree that IMS is a year to tost the growers' marketing skill. The latest forecast by USDA'a Crop Reporting Board, released on September 12, indicated a national production of 1.45 million tons of peanuts, down 17 percent from last month. The Virginia/North Carolina crop is estimated at 241,000 tons, 30 per cent below 1982. North Carolina is forecast at 147,000 tons or 2,000 lbs. per acre, while Virginia is forecast at 94,000 tons or 1,950 lbs. per acre. Normal demand for Virginia type peanuts is about 350,000 tons per year; therefore, the 1983 crop in Virginia and North Carolina will produc* about 100.IM tool abort of demand. Production In Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina la estimated at M.M Cooa. 15 percont below 1M2 despite the nine percont Imcreaae la acreage. Crops in now Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma are estimated at MMM tons; slightly above lWi produc tion. Demand (or peanuts in the domestic market is about 1.3 million tone and the export market about 300,000 tons or a total demand tor 1.6 million tons. U. S. production of peanuta probably will be almost 190,000 tons short of demand USDA's Peanut Stocks and Proceaaing for the period February 1M3-July IMS Indicates peanut stocks in commercial storage on July 31.

Good news is for sharing A six session video-tape presentation of "Good News Is for Sharing", featuring Leighton Ford has begiin meeting each Tuesday night at 7:30 at the Hertford United Methodist Church. This week's topic: "Bad News and Good News" Each session will include discussion, sharing and prayer time. A cordial invitation is extended to all interested in learn ing how to share their faith. Sua uM, "this to Mt ? IMO ?>hnH?n except Id mum specific counties which suffered a prolonged drought; yet, we should lean from UK, the worst peanut crop in history, how to market this crop." , There are several options available to growers, if they don't already have their crop tied up with binding contracts. It is Important that growers hooor a firm contract, since the seller has made contracts with manufacturers, based on firm agreed-upon prices. Many growers signed "open end"or "priced-later" contracts, to be negotiated at time of delivery. Premiums will probably be paid early in the harvest season, due to the crop shortages, but not a price level that occurred late IMO. Growers' first choice would be whether or not to sell at the current market price. If the (rower decides to sell his quota peanuts then he would receive the entire sales proceeds for the sale. If he has additional Seg. 1 peanuts and wishes to sell through the im mediate buy-back, then he will receive about $185 per ton plus any premiums offered over the quota price. He would then participate in PGCMA's pool and hopefully receive a good divideut at a later date. Another marketing option is to store peanuts on the farm and hope that prices will rise later. This is a risky option, due to potential pest damage and lowering grade and quality, unless extreme care is taken. Growers msy place good Seg. 1 peanuts into farm storage bins; yet, load out Seg. 3 peanuts, which would be vary costly. No peanute should be storod greater than 10 percent foreign material and moisture. Growers cook) also star* peanuts on the farm and secure a fsrm-4 storage loan through the County ASCS office, as another marketing option. In addition, he could secure a producer/handier number and buy back his own additional peanuts. Growers will want to contact their local ASCS office to discuss these options. Finally, the grower could plsce his " quota and/or additional peanuts under a non-recourse warehouse storage Loan with PGCMA, through his local buying ststion. PGCMA would take possession of the peanuts snd hopefully be able to market them at profitable prices. ? The growers would receive about $550 per ton for bis quote peanuts and g only $185 per ton for his additional " upon delivery, but he would also participte in the PGCMA pools sad hopefully receive a good profit through dividends at a later time when market conditions are more settled. Peanut growers may want to use several msrketlng options, depen ding on prices of pesnuts at time of g delivery, if not already contracted. " If fall- premium* are offered at time of delivery, growers msy be wise to sell them; if not, he may want to look at some of the other options available to him. 1983 hss been a disappointing peanut production year due to dry weather; yet, it will be a year to make a wise marketer out of our . peanut growers.
