[ACTOR IN DOMESTIC MARKET
Orient Dominant as "hief Source of
Supply, and Orientals Replace
Virginias in the West - In a
Single Year Imports Amount to
One-Fourth of Domestic Produc
tion-Great Quantities of Peanut
Oil Also Imported-Emergency
Taroff Increases Duties.
The average person, accustomed to
buying his small bag of peanuts at
the whistling peanut roasting ma
chine in front of a fruit store, thinks
of peanuts, if he thinks of the matter
at all, as coming from Virginia. He
would ble surlprised to learn that the
A merican peanut market has been ma
terialll influenced for many years by
the iiportation of foreign-grown
nuts, says the Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates, United States De
partment of Agriculture. Even as far
back as the fisdal year 1910 a total of
29,276,235 pounds were brought ipto
the United States, chiefly from Spain,
F'rance, and Japan. Receipts reached
their highest point in the yea- ending
June 30, 1920, when 132,412.423 lbs
of peanuts were imported b ythe Unit
ed States, most of which we-e grown
in China. Of this aniount 120.344.425
pounds were shelled , and 12,067,998
potmdIs unshelled.
Most lnipoi-ted Nuts are Shelled
Shelled peanuts have constituted the
greater part of the imports during re
cent years. A considerable portion of
these oriental peanluts are of the same
general type as those grown in the
peanut beIL around Suffolk and Nov
folk. The Depatlment of Agriculture,
iin figuring ( domestic peanut produc
tion, considers that a bushel of un
shelled Virginia peanuts weighing 22
pounds will shell out 14 2-3 pounds,
or 66 2-3 per cent of the unshelled
weight. Using this basis of compari
son and converting shelled figures to
unshelled equivalents, our imports
during the fiscal year 1919-20 totaled
192,584,636 pounds, or nearly 9,000,
000 bushels, as compared with a (10
mestic nroduction during the 1920
season of less than 36,000,00 bushels.
In adlition to the imports of neanuts
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1920, 170,160,367 pounds of peanut oil
was imported, which called for the
rushing of an even larger volume of
peanuts abroad than were actually
shipped here. For the fiscal year
1920-21 imports of peanuts totaled 47,
989,230 pounds and peanut oil 18,676,
181 pounds. The large imnortation of
peanut oil during 1919-20, totrether
with the low prices at which it was
offered, was a material factor in cur
tailing the peanut-oil production in
the United States. The nast effect of
foreign peanuts on the domestic pea
mit industry is therefore seen to be
of distinc t importance.
India and Africa, especially Seneg
al and Gambia, in the pc.st have been
the world's heiviest panut-producingi
countries, although few nuts fi-om
these sources have been nmirketed in
the Unite!d States, except when tranls
shipp-d through ports of France, Eng
land, and other Eui- pean countries.
Spain was form-erly one of the most

Paint Rock, Ala.-Mrs. C. M. Stegall,

lowing Interesting account of her re,
covery: "I was 191 a weakened con.
diton. I was sick three years in bed,
muffering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervous, depressed. I was so weak,
I couldn't walk across the floor; jual
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors. Still ,1 didn't get any relief,
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I
believe it I hadn't heard of and taken
Cardul I would have died. I bought
six bottles, aftir a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
"I began to eat and sleep, began tc
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trou

good that Cardui did me. I don't
think there is a botter tonic mad'

Found in Leading Markets
Shelled oriental poanuts are to be
ound in most of the leading consum
ng markets of the country, and are
old for the same purposes as Vir
,inia-to be used in the manufacture
)f peanut candy, peanut butter, salt
!d nuts, peanut cookies, and the like,
rhe output of peanut butter and salt
Ad peanut industries on the Pacific
oast is said to have been seriously
landicapped by the fact that orientd
roods of poor, quality were often used.
k mixture of Spanish type peanuts is
tlso sometimes resorted to, as this is
!onsidered desirable to give the butter
he proper consistency. Many Pacific
oast manufacturers are said to make
>eanut butter from oriental goods
done. West of the Mississippi River
Asiatic peanuts have almost entirely
lisplaced the domestic nuts for roast
ig.
Until the emergency tariff bill was
macted, iiported shelled pelants
vere taxed only 3-4 cent a pound, and
.ia1shelled nuts 3-8 cent a pound. Thle
resent act, effective until November
!7, prescribes a duty of 3 eents a
1un1d oil thei importation of all fore
gn peanuts. The iml ports of peanuitts
