These  Statistics are  collected and  presented according to the Peanut Statis- 
tics  Act  which  requires  shellers,  crushers  and processors of raw peanuts

based  on a complete enumeration of all shellers and crushers and all of the    
larger  processors of raw peanuts.  However, reports are occasionally received  
too  late to be included in the first tabulation.  Allowances are made for      
these missing reports and revised totals  are published in the next report.
