GRADY REACHES PEANUT
QUOTA OF 1889 ACRES

ALBANY, May GRADY county
became the fourth county in the
state to reach its quota in the Geor-
gia Peanut Growers Cooperative
association Monday afternoon, when
contracts received from that county
showed that acreage under pledge
totalled more than SO per cent of the
1922 acreage. Calhoun, Seminole
and Daugherty hail already gone
lover their quotas. Grady had a
comparatively small quota, due to
the fact that the commercial peanut
acreage there last year was only
3,278 acres, and only 1859 acres
were required for the minimum. The
contrats already sent in total 1873
and show slightly more than LOO
acres under pledge to the associa-
ton. The county is one. of small
farms owned by white farmers and
the contracts averaged less than 10
acres each. T. NJ. Chastain, coun-
ty chairman, stated that the work
will be continued in his county and
that he expected to sign actually
more acres than We're grown last
year, for the reason that there viii
be a slightly increased peanut crop
in Grady county.
