DISTRIBUTION OF AMERICAN-GROWN PEANUTS 
Table 11 shows the shipments of cleaned (unshelled) and shelled 
peanuts from October 25, 1920, to October 26, 1924, by sections 
and States; and Table 12 shows the original destinations of these 
shipments, by sections of origin, and States of destination. These 
tables are based upon weekly shipment records received from over 
200 freight agents and steamship officials, covering all points in 
the South where cleaning or shelling plants are located, and edited 
and tabulated by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. As a 
very large volume of peanuts move in less than car lots, the figures 
were reduced to approximate car-lot equivalents, on the basis of 
25,000 pounds for a car of cleaned peanuts, 28,000 pounds for a 
car of shelled peanuts from the Virginia- North Carolina section, 
and 30,000 pounds for cars of shelled peanuts from the other two 
sections. The grouping of the shipments from the Virginia- North 
Carolina section into shelled and unshelled is subject to errors. 
The last week in October was arbitrarily taken as the break between 
the old and new seasons; it is fairly correct for the Virginia- North 
Carolina section and Texas, but new peanuts are often shipped from 
the Southeast more than a month earlier than that date. 
During the 1923-24 season, shipments of cleaned and shelled 
peanuts were made from the following points, in descending order 
of importance within each State.
