servation program, which will be con-
tinned in 1941. Under the quota, a
farmer who plants within his peanut |
acreage allotment may market all he
produces without penalty. Peanuts
marketed in excess of the farm mart- |
eting quota are subject to a penalty
of three cents per pound. Howerer,
payment of the penalty is not required
If the excess peanuts are delivered |
to an agency designated for handling
excess peanuts. In this case, the farm,
er receives for ills excess peanuts the
price for oil, which usually Is consider
able lower than the market price for
edible peanuts.
Only those peanuts which are pick,
ed and threshed by mechanical means
are subject to marketing quotas. This
means that peanuts hogged off or dug
for Im.v do not come under quotas.
Also, quotas do not apply to farms on
which the measured peanut acreage
is one acre or less.
The act requires that if quotas are
not approved in the referendum, no
peanut loan or diversion program can
I.....fered on the 1941 crop. If quotas
are approved in the referendum, farm,
ers are assured of a loan or diversion
program, or both, as a menus of pro-
tecting peanut prices. The loan rate
would be between 50 and 75 per cent
of parity.
A preliminary report gives the 1940
peanut acreage picked and threshed
by mechanical means as 1,907,000
acres, from which the production was
1,61 1,634,000 pounds. in 1935 this
acreage was 1,743,000 and the pro-
duetion was 1,147,225,000 pounds.

LFE COUNTY PEANUT
REFERENDI MI TO BE HELD
AJ RIL 26th
Lee County peanut farmers
will
vote Saturday, April 26, in a referen-
dum to determine whether they will
market their 1941 crop under market-
ing quotas, according to Mr. tiny M.
Attaway, chairman of the county AAA
committee for peanuts.
Secretary of Agrieniture, Claude It
Wickard proclaimed marketing quotas
for peanuts this week after Congress
had provided for such action in a re-
cent amendment to the Agricultural
! Adjustment Act of 1938. If approved
I by two-thirds of the farmers voting in
the referendum, quotas will be in ef-
fect for three years.
The national marketing quota is
the amount of peanuts which will be
harvested from the national acreage
allotment, set by law at 1,610,000 acres.
This is the same as the 1940 peanut

opinion that the I'. S. will not enter

of defeating Hitler. The league of na-
