' Kate are produced through the production of animals, butter and the oil ?eed crops - peanuts, eoybeuna and cottonseed Fats and oil are requirements for food, lubrication of machines of war, and the manufacture of explosives. "The two prices for peanuts In IS)42 Is admitted by everyone to bo unfair and Illogical. This two price system will be eliminated in 11)43. The following one price program for peanuts In 1S)4H has been approved by Hon. James F. Byrnes, Director of Economic and Htabllzatlon and thb necessary legislation Is expected to pass Congress shortly. If this legislation tiasses and it most likely will, the farmers will get approximately $ 130 per ton for former stock Spanish peanuts in 1913. This will mgun one price for peanuts regardless of what quota peanuts are In. "The farmers of Kershaw county are asked to plant 4,500 acres to pealimits in 1943.' To encourage the planting of peanuts the government is going to pay farmers $30 tin acre for the peanuts planted In excess of 90 per cent of their acreage goals up to 110 per cent. For example?a farmer having an acreage goal of ten acres and plants eleven ucres will he paid $30 per acre on tho difference between 90 per cent of ton acres and 110 per cent of ton acros which will be two acres, or $00. "Peanut seed will be made available at a later date and farmers having excess peanuts may sell to other persons for seed. It Is expected that seed peanuts will sell for $130 to $lf>0 per ton."
