Martin County Peanut Crop Down 35% This Year, Dec. 16, 1924

75% of Peanut Crop Already Marketed and Shipped

Nearly 75 per cent of the peanut crop of Martin County has already been marketed and shipped, and large shipments are being made daily.

Buyers say that the crop has been short in weight, probably around 35 per cent off, and the lack of weight, coupled with the small yield, has made the peanut crop in this section very poor.
