The peanut crop seems doomed this
year. 1t began by being cut off from a
fourth to half by the prolonged dry
weather, and now it's the wet weather
that is doing the damage. The rain
found part of the crop on the ground,
dug, but not sacked, and as there
hasn't been sunshine enough to dry the
peas, the result is that both the vines
and the nuts are damaged from mil
dew. And even where the peas had
been stacked there is some damage
from the rain being carried by the
high wind into the interior of the
stack
