Extension specialist* at North

in an attempt to determine the
alternatives North Carolina f u

A summary of their study of
field crops follows:

without consideration f.*r th

PEAXtriV*: Peanut art care Is

Acreage, area of production anti
price are not likely to change ap

goes into effect.
SOYBEAN'S: Th s crop is -x

expanded n many farms. Mar

With the emphasis on expanding

logical that an increased yield
would have a ready market.
