Nukualofa, Dec. 8.
ABOUT two tons of peanut seeds have arrived to be distributed among Tongan growers by the Agriculture Department.
Experiments in the growing of peanuts during the year show that a high grade of peanuts suitable for export can be grown in Tonga, so the Agriculture Department has decided to take it up seriously. If this new industry proves successful, another item will be added to Tonga’s list of exports, which now includes bananas, pineapples and melons.
