an early date. This concern has
headquarters at Suffolk, Va, and OPP
crates other plants OF the same kind
throughout the South and peanut
belt.
Denmark was finally selected as
the new site and location. due to its
uncNcclled railroad facilities as a
distributing point, rs it has three
OF the principal railroad systems of
the South passing through the city.
lhlS was the important factor in
the new owners decision to locate
here, as it is very advantageous to Il
manufacturing concern q fthis kind
to have ideal territory to draw on
FOR its raw material and which can
be shipped in every direction at very
moderate freight rates.
The new plant is TO have IA capacity
to handle and distribute 500 cars of
peanuts per year and the new and
modern buildings are to be erected
and planned n such Il manner that
additional machinery may be, in
stalled with additional buildings as
becomes necessary. Besides shelling
peanuts, feed mill will be run in
connection with the main plant to
ut lllZc the peanut hullS.
Rather large acreage Of peanuts
was planted in the Edsto river sec
tlon last year, and this year the
acreage has been doubled. One
farmer has 500 acres planted to pea
nuts, he having more than doubled
last years acreage. Hundreds Of
farmers have plowcd up early cot
ton and planted the cotton acreage
TO peanuts, dS peanuts will mature
II. planted any time up to June Is,
Since the news has spread that the
new and modern peanut plant is to
locate and he erected in Denmark,
many farmers now say that they will
piow up all their cotton and plant
peanuts instead. The wcevil pest
has ruined hundreds Of farmers so
that now many think that new era
has dawncd for them in peanuts.
