Bigger Yields
Per Acre Hike
Crop Figures
Increased yields per acre are
credited with ciop harvests equal
to records set in 1948, the United
State Department of Agriculture’s
monthly crop icpoit currently
advises
Corn increased 2 per cent from
a month ago to 3,182,870,000 bu,
or 7 per cent above 1954’s 2.964,-
639,000" bu. The 10-year (1944-
1953) average is 3,080,115,000,
and goes considerably over the
Department’s hopes to keep pro
duction around three million bu.
Yield per acre over the nation
has been increased about 9 per
cent over the 1948 record.
Hog Situation Unaffected
Little effect ip expected on the
hog supply-price situation, as
the Department is now buying
pork and lard products in'an ei
fort to hold hog prices from fur
ther declines
Wheat retained the old figure
of 915,528,000 bu for 1955, com
pared to 969,781,000 in 1954 and
the 10-year average of 1,154,073,-
000 bu Oats crop is the largest
ever grown, sorghum gram and
barley production second largest
on lecord.
Some 110 million tons of hay set
a new record, and pasture condi
tion improved during the month
and in most sections of the na
tion are in better shape than at
any time since 1951
Pennsyh ania Report
Fall vegetables made excellent
growth in favorable October
weather
Deciduous fiuit production in
October gained 3 per cent over
1954 Milk production in October
was 3 per cent above the previ
ous high for October 1954, or 8
per cent above the October aver
age Egg production has also con
tinued at a record breaking pace

The above charts for the United States show, for the next 30 days, .the expected departures fro*
normal temperatures and the expected total precipitation by means of classes. 9
The Weather Bureau’s 30-day outlook for November calls for temperatures to average b»l|l
seasonal normals over the northwestern quarter of the nation as well as m the Great Lakes regfl
and Central Plains- Above normal temperatures are predicted for the Southwest, Southeast,
northern New England. In remaining areas near normal temperatures are anticipated with ’larS
week-to-week fluctuations. S
Precipitation, some in the form of snow, is expected to exceed normal over the northern thirdM
the country, but subnormal rainfall is predicted for the southern third In the remaining area njl
normal amounts are in prospect. |B
KEY TO TOP EGG MASH
AND EARLY-BIRD HAS IT
'■J-’HH cost of producing a dozen eggs is getting lower and lowf’j
thanks to improved Early-Bird Egg Mashes. For Early-Bird Efl
Mashes contain the precise balance between energy value and produ l |
tion value (proteins, vitamins and minerals) that gives you top fecS
conversion . . . top feed performance. fi
\
Here’s why this precise balance between energy and
values is so important to you. If energy value is too low in relatic||
to production value, a hen will consume more feed than it actually need #
and gives you poor feed conversion and high feed costs per dozen
produced. If, on the other hand, energy value is too high in relation tod|
level of proteins, vitamins and minerals in the feed, then the hen's km
J da
consumption is too low for efficient results. 1
