Ga. The Effect of Various Treatments upon the Keeping Qualities 



of Peanuts and Peanut Products in Common and Refrigerated Stor- 

 age. To determine (1) temperature, time, moisture conditions 

 under which peanuts keep maximum flavor during storage of pro- 

 cessing; (2) suitable containers for shelled and unshelled 

 peanuts and peanut products, and determine to what extent 

 quality may be controlled by improved packaging; (3) effec- 

 tiveness of anti-oxidants or other additives in preventing 

 staleness and rancidity in peanuts and peanut products; and 

 (4) influence of variety, grade, and prestorage quality of 

 peanuts on processing and on shelf life of peanut products.

Ga. Control of Southern Blight (Sclerotium Rolfsii) on Peanuts . 



To develop (1) well integrated practicable schemes of culture 

 that apply the fundamental requirements for control of southern 

 blight on peanuts and other crops; and (2) implements which will 

 obtain these cultural requirements in widely different types of 

 soil.
