Necessity for some crop that woqld yield a cash reâ€" turn caused the farmers of Virginia and North"Carolina to plant peanuts as a regular farm crop immediately following the Civil war, } Péanuts were introduced into Virâ€" ginia during the early days of colâ€" onization, according to tradition,â€"pre« sumably by the slave traders as food for the slaves. â€" Peanuts were found in ancient mummy graves in Peru by E. G. Squier exploring in 1877, also by W. E. Safford in 1887. This would seem to indicate that the peanut is a native of the New World. , The peanut industry of the United States is well distributed over most of the southern states but is carried on ‘intensively in eastern . Virginia, North Carolina and southern Georgia.
