 Cotton was the major cash crop until the effects of a major attack of Mexican boll weevils and a downturn of weather took it's toll and peanuts took over. The peanut farmers could bring in ten rail cars in one day, Comanche,Texas was named the PEANUT CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!!! The town of Comanche still grows peanuts, but not nearly as many.
