Oil mill to get peanut crusher
Oscar Pearson, manager of the cotton oil mill, says the mill will install machinery to crush peanuts if farmers plant enough peanuts to justify it. If not enough plantings occur, the mill will buy the peanuts at a loss if needed. Hogs on Runnels county farms will harvest the peanuts and provide cash returns, so no farmer should fear disposal.
