Satisfactory Prices.
There is greater demand for
groundpeas than was ever before

for the market instead of being left
in the fields for hogs to eat, as here

says that everywhere he goes there
is some waiting to buy the nuts as
soon as they are ready for market.
The groundpea crop of this section
is the largest that was ever grown
and is putting considerable money in
the pockets of those who had the
foresight to plant them. The Terry
