Excerpt from Storage in Marketing Farmers' Stock Peanuts The need for cash to repay production loans in the fall, and the high short-term interest rates that farmers had to pay in borrowing money from customary sources to finance storage, appear no longer to be the major deterrents to farm storage that they once were. But the negligible amount of storage by farmers suggests the existence of other limiting factors. Important deterrents seem to be associated with the structure and customs of the market, and the problem of reducing their effect or terminating them re quires an analysis of the whole peanut marketing system. The three main types of peanuts-virginia, Runner, and Spanish-are marketed separately by growers as farmers' stock (unshelled and unsorted) peanuts; they usually contain some sticks, leafy trash, pebbles, and sand. The farmers' stock peanuts are cleaned or shelled before being shipped to the end users for manufacture into such con sumer products as peanut butter, roasted and salted peanuts, nut mixes, and candy. In recent years, peanut butter has accounted for about half of the edible -peanut consumption in the United States. For many years excess peanuts have found an outlet as crushing stock for edible oil, but, in recent years, nearly all good quality peanuts have gone directly into food products. Consequently, processors who supply the consumer market are distributed somewhat like the U. S. Population, principally in a number of metropol itan areas. In contrast, peanut production is concentrated in three limited areas-the virginia-carolina, southeastern, and southwestern peanut - producing areas (fig. Farmers market most of their peanuts during a 2-month period following harvest and field curing. The shellers, crushers, and other dealers then store the peanuts as farmers' stock for periods ranging generally from 3 to 8 months. Thus, farmers' stockpeanuts are held principally in about 20 of the larger metropolitan centers (fig. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Charles Schulz's Peanuts is one of the most timeless and beloved comic strips ever. In this second book of the series, the gang's all here and getting into classic Peanuts hijinks. Whether it's the dynamic duo of Snoopy and Woodstock, or the never-ending crush that Peppermint Patty has on Charlie Brown, the gang's interactions are the heart of strip and will resonate with kids for years to come.
"The world of Peanuts is a microcosm, a little human comedy for the innocent reader and for the sophisticated."Umberto EcoAs Peanuts concludes its first decade, a new character makes her appearance: Charlie Brown's little sister Sally. This volume covers her earliest days, from her proud brother's announcement of her birth to her first words (and crush on Linus)!Also: the initial "Great Pumpkin" sequence; Lucy's first appearance as a nickel psychiatrist; Linus's one-sided romance with his beloved teacher Miss Othmar; and Snoopy's battle with the doghouse-destroying freeway bypass. All this, plus two of the most famous Peanuts strips of all time: the "clouds" Sunday that Schulz cites as his personal favourite and "Happiness is a warm puppy."
The third volume in our acclaimed series takes us into the mid-1950s as Linus learns to talk, Snoopy begins to explore his eccentricities (including his hilarious first series of impressions), Lucy's unrequited crush on Schroeder takes final shape, and Charlie Brown becomes...well, even more Charlie Brown-ish! Over half of the strips in this volume have never been printed since their original appearance in newspapers a half-century ago! Even the most dedicated Peanuts collector/fan is sure to find many new treasures. The Complete Peanuts will run 25 volumes, collecting two years chronologically at a rate of two a year for twelve years. Each volume is designed by the award-winning cartoonist Seth (It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken) and features impeccable production values; every single strip from Charles M. Schulz's 50-year American classic is reproduced better than ever before. This volume includes an introduction by Matt Groening (The Simpsons) as well as the popular Complete Peanuts index, a hit with librarians and collectors alike, and an epilogue by series editor Gary Groth. 2005 Eisner Award winner, Best Archival Collection/Project.
This first volume, covering the first two and a quarter years of the strip, will be of particular fascination toPeanuts aficionados worldwide: Although there have been literally hundreds of Peanuts books published, many of the strips from the series' first two or three years have never been collected before―in large part because they showed a young Schulz working out the kinks in his new strip and include some characterizations and designs that are quite different from the cast we're all familiar with. (Among other things, three major cast members―Schroeder, Lucy, and Linus―initially show up as infants and only "grow" into their final "mature" selves as the months go by. Even Snoopy debuts as a puppy!) Thus The Complete Peanuts offers a unique chance to see a master of the art form refine his skills and solidify his universe, day by day, week by week, month by month.
