State Crop Production Dropped 13 Pet. in 1957 Because of Drauth Destructive drouth conditions in Pennsylvania during the grow ing season this year were pri marily responsible for the 13 per cent decline in the value of farm ci ops, the State Department of Agriculture said Friday. Federal-State surveys for the year placed the value of Keystone Stale farm crops at $269,775,000 This compares with $309,282,000 for 1956 The greatest crop re duction this year was in corn, $27,753,000 below the bumper production of a year ago. According to the Department report, production of oats was the only field crop which was higher than in 135 Drouth did cause some considerable short ages of straw, but yields were 39 bushels to the acre in comparison with 38 bushels in 1956. Acreage at 776,000 was two per cent above a year ago The dry weather in southeast ern Pennsylvania, which later Wormed heifers gain extra 7 lbs. in 135-doy test Show net return of $6,31 for every $1 invested in Purina Cattle Warmer HERE ARE THE CATTLE: This public feeding test was conducted at the Norfolk, Nebraska, stockyards. Heifers were started on feed March 29, then divided just long enough to give one group a single treatment with Purina’s new Cattle and Sheep Wormer Concentrate. The feeding period ran 135 days ... through several July and August afternoons when the thermometer hovered around the 100-degree mark. These Nebraska feeder calves were all fed and handled exactly alike on a ration of corn, Purina Special Steer Fatena, and hay. Cattle were sold at prevailing market prices.

The failure of pastures necessita ted heavy feeding of hay and en silage dm mg the summer and: winter stocks were used for sum mer teeding in many areas. Favorable weather at harvest time aided the wheat yield in Pennsylvania The 26 bushels to the acre harvested was one bushel below 1956 and two short of the state s record year in 1955 Apple output at 6,100,000 bushels, sour cherries at 9,300' tons and sweet cherries, 800 tons, wue the only fruits with higher pi eduction than a year ago. The peach crop because of drought and an early frost and grapes were below 1956. Seven extra pounds of solid gain is something every cattleman can use Make sure your- cattle aren’t held back by worms this fall.
