Are URGED TO HOLD
And GRADE PEANUTS
PRESIDENT WEBB, OF GEORGIA
PEANUT GROWERS ASSOCIA-
TON, VISITS DAWSON.

Mr. W. H. Webb, of Hahira,
Lowndes county, president of the
state Peanut Growers Association,
which was recently organized by
farmers of South Georgia, has been
in Dawson.
Peanut growers in Terrell county
and other South Georgia counties are
somewhat disturbed by the fact that
the market is not so good and stable
this season as was anticipated. The
mills are not offering anything like
the price the growers think they
ought to get, and the producers de-
clare that they cannot come out even
at present prices.
Mr.. Webb is making an effort to
get the growers to hold their prod
ucts until matters can settle down
on some basis, as it is claimed that
the hurry of the growers to get their
product on the market is having a
bad effect in getting things properly
arranged.
Million Bushels in Holding Pool.
Mr.. Webb stated that more than
one million bushels are already
pledged in a holding pool, and eff
forts are being made to get all the
growers to agree to this plan, at the
end of which it is believed that bet
ter prices will be obtained.
The statement was made that in
formation had been obtained to the
effect that crushers feel that they are
not getting as much profit from cot
ton seed as they should have, and for
this reason the peanut price is being
held down.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Webb
and others working for better prices
to finally take the matter to Wash
ington in an effort to get profit for
the growers on their peanuts. And
to this end the growers are being
urged to hold their crop for the pres
ent.
Should Be Graded.
It is also urged that all peanuts
be graded, as the Spanish variety is
said to be worth about ten dollars
ton more than the Virginia and
the runners. This is an important
matter to the growers and they should
look into it. 1t is estimated that the
difference in price will add more than
one million dollars to the value of
the South Georgia crop if the pea
nuts are properly graded and sold
that way.
Only 500 a ton is now being offer
ed for peanuts.
