Texas Peanut Diversion Wraps Up With Extra Farmers’ Benefit
Ten thousand tons of Texas peanuts were diverted to the oil market under AAA plans, delivering about half a million dollars in added value to Texas growers in 1938. Eastland hosts the Southwest Peanut Growers Association as it completes the program with sale to oil mills at competitive prices. Co E Bowles notes the association will receive the price difference plus handling costs from the AAA.

Parity Income For 1938 Not Attained in Texas
The 1938 Texas farm year had fair crop and livestock production but prices paid to producers fell short of the previous year. Parity income was not reached, though farmers and ranchers and rural homemakers added value to holdings and living standards via county extension and demonstration agents. Conservation of resources emerged as a growing habit, with figures showing expanded silos and land care practices from 1932 to 1938.
