TERRELL GROWERS TO
ORGANIZE LOCALS
DATE OF MEETING WILL BE
ANNOUNCED LATER. JUNGLE
REMUS" is TRADE NAME.

Peanut growers in every county III
south Georgia will in a few weeks
have an opportunity to attend meet
ings of organizations in their own
communities that will be branches of
the Georgia Peanut Growers Co
Operative Association. They will also
have a county wide organization with
headquarters at the county site to
which their local will send official
delegates for each meeting. The
counties of Decatur, Seminole, Grady,
Early and Clay have already set up
their organizations and made selec-
tons OF communities for locals. Mitch
ell and Miller counties will hold meet
ings this week to perfect county or
CARNATIONS and designate communities
for locals.
The date OF the countrywide meet
ing in Terrell has not been set, but
it will be announced in few days
and will probably be one day next
week. In addition to the county or
ganization, with headquarters at DaW-
son, Terrell county will probably
have two locals in different parts OF
the county. The number of members
of the peanut association in Terrell
county is small, although the acre
age under contract is larger than in
some counties with more members.
These community locals are expect
ed to be the very life blood OF the
peanut association-the means of con-
tact between the individual member
and his association. Colonel Robert
E. L. Spence, president of the asso-
citation, is anxious that every con-
tract signer shall be an active mem
Der of his nearest local. at will not
only do him good and the peanut as
ISOLATION good for him to take an &C
tive part in the meetings of his To-
cal" Colonel Spence said, but it will
do his community and his county
good. for these locals will take up
and discuss in an intelligent way the
problems of the communities they
represent. such as better roads, better
schools and other things pertaining
to the public good. Furthermore, it
will enable us who are officers OF the
farmers own association-for 1t is
theirs-to handle their problems more
effectively. They will be able to sup
ply us with much valuable informa-
ton which we can use III marketing
their peanuts to a better advantage.
While the locals are being set up
in the different counties where there
are enough members, the officers OF
the association at Albany are going
ahead with well-perfected plans Tor
marketing the crop, for which they
foresee excellent prices, Already 1t
has been decided that the peanuts
marketed through the association
oLo1t bao, +be brand name of Uncle
Remus," a name suggested by ohm
H. Mock. director of field service. The
name is regarded astypically Georgia
and typically southern, and one that
will carry a universal appeal wherever
children are read or told the stories
that Joel Chandler Harris immortal
lied under the pen name OF Uncle
Remus."
1t is the purpose OF the peanut as
ISOLATION to put on the market one
pound package OF raw peanuts, similar
TO the famous "Pickaninny" brand
nut out by the Nirginia-No Caro-
lima Peanut Association, which has SO
greatly increased the consumption OF
peanuts. These packages contain re-
cipes for making peanut butter and
for MANY other uses of peanuts. 1t is
estimated that, with the increased
popularity that will come through ad-
yertising and proper sales methods,
that these packages alone will IN a
few wears sell a greater volume OF
peanuts than are now grown IN the
VIRGINIA North Carolina and the Geor-
ola peanut belts the larges two pea,
nut producing areas in the Un!ted
