Ga. Peanut Breeding and Improvement . Develop high yielding 



disease resistant varieties of peanuts; conduct basic studies 

 in inheritance involving genetic studies of peanut & related 

 species, inter- & intra- specific hybridization & cytogenetic 

 investigations of breeding materials; evolve improved produc- 

 tion practices in collaboration with specialists in various 

 phases of peanut production research.

Ga. Control of Insects Attacking Peanuts and Tobacco . To 



develop effective methods tot (1) reduce damage done to 

 peanuts by insects feeding on foliage & on roots & nuts; 

 & (2) learn regular spray & dust schedules for control of 

 budworm, hornworm, & green peach aphid on tobacco.

N. C. The Federal Peanut Programs and Their Effects on Peanut 



Farming and Marketing . To (1) measure & appraise effects of 

 federal price support, production adjustments & surplus re- 

 moval programs on supply, consumption, markets & prices of 

 peanuts, with emphasis on competition between type of peanuts 

 grown in N. C. & Va., & types grown in other sections of the 

 South; (2) measure &. appraise effects of programs on income 

 from peanut farming, allocation of resources within, & be- 

 tween, farms, & interrelationships of product & factor prices 

 in peanut growing regions; (3) study interconnections of pea- 

 nut programs with programs for cotton & tobacco, & examine 

 interaction of effects of such programs at farm level; & (4) 

 make available to farmers & general public, pertinent informa- 

 tion on peanut program.

N. C. Peanut Curing Studies . (1) Correlate response of peanuts 



to their environment during curing process. (2) use formula- 

 tions from above objective as functional design specifications 

 in development of a practical curing system. 



Agr. Engin., Agr. Chem., Statis., Agron. 12 



N. C. Peanut Breeding and Cultural Investigations . To develop 



strains of peanuts with greater yielding ability, high oil 

 content, and superior disease resistance; and to determine 

 the relative response of different types or varieties, as 

 measured by both yield and quality, on different soil, types 

 and to various cultural practices.
