Show Demand for Peanuts Still Big in 1946 VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. Prices for 1946 peanuts, tenth largest field crop in America, will receive government gov-ernment support if necessary. But Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson told 400 growers, processors process-ors and shippers from 23 states here that he did not think price help would be needed. A war emergency crop that increased in-creased four times to a total acreage acre-age of three million in four years, peanuts are in high demand in 1946, the secretary said. He and other government experts warned, however, how-ever, that soon peanuts will face a buyer's market. |
