GROWERS
ASSOCIATION
CROSSED CHATT-
AHOOCHEE RIVER

the total estimated peanut acreage
of Georgia under contract, the Geor-
gia Peanut Growers Cooperative
Association has now crossed the
Chattahoochee river and is carrying
the message of cooperative market
ing, as opposed to dumping" and
speculative selling, to the peanut
growers of the State of Alabama.
The White Spanish Peanut. acre
age of Alabama-and White Span
ish is all that the Georgia Peanut
with-it limited largely to four
counties, and these will be the only
Alabama counties that the Associa-
ton will, work this year. They are
Houston, Henry, Barbour and Rus
sell. Two teams from the Field
Service Department, headed by J.
Lelley Simmons and J. B. Lawley,
assisted by A. M. Prince and j. 7.
Terrell, are now signing contracts
in the Alabama territory at rapid
rate.
The Peanut Association has al
ready signed 100000 acres in Geor-
gia, out of a total estimated acre
age of $4,000 acres, which is con-
sidered higher estimate. This sign
up alone makes the Association the
biggest single factor in the world
in the White Spanish market.
Delivery season for Association
members begins September 10th
and it is estimated that the per-
centage of deliveries will set new
ligh record for Southern coop.
. The morale of the membership is at
high pitch, and little difficulty is
anticipated in getting the members
TO turn their peanuts over to the
Association. Crop mortgages in
some places will interfere, but all
over the belt bankers and supply
merchants are agreeing to let pea
nuts on which they hold liens to be
delivered to the Association and for
the Association to assume the lien.
Bonded warehouses and local re-
ceiving and shipping points have
been established throughout the belt
at which the members will deliver
their peanuts. They have the OPP
ton of delivering at either a bonded
warehouse or a local receiving or
shipping station, but are urged to
deliver to the bonded warehouses,
on account of the lower freight rates
and insurance rates at the points
where they are located. The list OF
warehouses and receiving points
