Abstract
Peanut growing, as a commercial enterprise in Georgia, started about 1916, stimulated by the demand for edible vegetable oils during the world war. Previous to this runner peanuts had been grown to some extent for hogging-off; but for oil production the Spanish variety was found more profitable and culture of this variety increased rapidly. Due to the lack of shelling plants within the state the crop was crushed in the shell, producing a low yield of poor-quality oil, or else the peanuts were shipped to shelling plants in the old peanut belt in Virginia and North Carolina. With the establishment of shelling plants and increasing demand for Spanish peanuts in the confectionery trade, after close of the war, the industry developed rapidly and during recent years Georgia has produced about 113 of the harvested crop of the country and more than half the unharvested or hogged-off crop
