Acreage Cuts In Spring Potatoes Is Recommended The U. S. Department of Agriculture reported that abundant supplies of potatoes grown this fall would be car ried over into 1966, and sug gested that producers reduce plantings next year in order to improve their bargaining position in the market. USDA's Consumer and Mar keting Service said fall potato production would be 44 mil lion hundredweight higher than in the fall of 1964, and indicated that much of this inctease -would be carried in stoiage until spring next year. As a lesult, USDA said stoiage stocks on March 1, 1966, would be substantially greater than the 54.7 million hundredweight on hand this past spring. In view of this, USDA is recommending to growers that 1966 spring potato plantings be held to 139,710 acies or about 11 percent less than the 134,400 acres planted this year. Its recommendation also is based on an expected increase in per-acre yields of potatoes Isthewwdftf _ PJamelet* ElecMclWrtf ftesffh] Fertilize nowfcjfe^ Yule profit with ORTHO!

Market analysts said with average yields, acreages equal to the guides would produce a total spring crop ot 27.3 million hundredweight. Grade Revisions Proposed For Slaughter Cattle The U. S Department of Agncultuie has pioposed a revision in the official grades of slaughter cattle. The pro posed changes would make the grades ot slaughter cattle correspond directly to the re vised grades of beef carcasses. The proposed revision will reflect changes made in the marbhng-matimty i elation ships in the quality grade standards tor beet carcasses in the Prime, Choice, Good, and Standaid grades, and adoption ot yield grade stand ards which became effective on June 1, 1965, to indicate the amount of usable meat in each carcass. Slaughter cattle grades are used in market news report ing and futures trading as well as other general market uses. The national economy for efficient operation needs both production and distribution. Advertising is the cheapest means of obtaining maximum distribution. j umspei: I away from the busy planting season, and eliminate planting delays due to wet spring weather.

No Significant Farm Pesticide Residues In River Silt Study Results o£ the first year’s analysis of Mississippi River silt by the U, S. Department ot Agriculture show that pes ticides applied to crops have not resulted in significant a mounts ot residue in the silt. Pesticides found in the silt of the Mississippi were gen eially in the area ot pesti cide manufacturing and form ulating plants. The interim report on the silt studies was piesented to the American Society of Agiononiy meeting in Colum bus, Ohio, by William F. Uaithel, supervising chemist at the USDA Pesticide Moni tonns Laboratoiy. The silt studies, initiated for the Mississippi and its mam tnbutanes more than a yeai ago, are part ot a Fed eial monitoring program of soil, air, and water tor pos sible contaminating or pol luting lactois. Sediment samples were tak en tiom 127 places 111 the Mississippi Ruer between Tiptonville, Tenn , and New Orleans and fiom 123 places in seveial of the Rivei’s trib ute lies.
