Final Apple Yield
Announced; Color
Quality Excellent
HARRISBURG At the end
of the Pennsylvania apple pick
ing season the final crop esti
mate of 5,71)0 000 bushels from
commercial oichards was an
nounced todaj by the State De
partment of Agncultuie.
Apples are of exceptional color
and quality this year and will
continue in heavy supply through
the holiday season Mild weather
aided harvesting although rams
in most areas of the State re
tarded picking at times, a Fed
eral-State siuvey repoit declared
But the rains made bigger ap
ples, obseivers said Winds as
usual caused some damage with
dropping a little heavier than
ordinary on some varieties
—State Average Twice Normal
October rams ranged from two
to three inches in the southwest
pin Pennsylvania counties to 11
inches in the northeast The
average for the State at nearly
six inches was almost twice nor
mal for the noith
The last apple pi eduction fore
cast foi the season is 320,000
bushels under 1954 and 308,000
bushels below the 10-year 1944-
53 average, the Department said.
The 5,700,000 bushels this year
lanks the State fifth in the na
tion, exceeded only by Washing
ton, New Yoik, California and
Michigan, in th,u Older
Nearly half of the Pennsyl
vania crop will be used for pro
cessing into slices for pies, for
apple sauce, rpple butter, apple
juice, cider and vinegar.
Pear Estimate Lower
Harvest of giapes was about
completed in the Erie County
fiuit belt by Nov, 1, about the
usual date. The crop finished out
exceptionally well with sugar
content reported high. Produc
tion is set at 25,000 tons compar
ed with 26,600 tons harvested in
1954 and the average of 17,200
tons -
The final estimate on pears
is 180,000 bushels, 5,000 less than
last year and 45,000 under aver
age
Farm Income Declines
10 Per Cent in 1955
Farmers’ taxable net income
for 1955 will be about $lO6 bil
lion, or 10 per cent below the
1954 figure, the USDA predicts.
Cash receipts so far are about
four per cent below a year ago,
but production expenses are
higher.
Consequently “the realized
(taxable) net income of farm op
erators in 1955 is running about
one-tenth below a year ago, with
more of the same predicted for
1956.
DroughtaMFlodds C® Production
Of Some Pennsylvania Farm Crops
HARRISBURG Summer
drought and floods followed by
twice normal rains in October
reduced production of some im
portant Pennsylvania farm crops
to less" than last year and Jess
than average, the State Depart
ment of Agriculture announced
today following Federal-State
surveys.
Corn and potatoes were hard
est hit with considerable acreages
of each remaining to be harvest
ed the first of this month, the
Department said. Yield of corn
per ■ acre is estimated at 42
bushels, lowest in eleven years.
Prospects for corn declined a?
harvesting progressed and it is
now evident toat drought damage
was more severe than indicated
earlier, the survey showed. Wet
.ground and tangled stalks hind
ered operation of mechanical
corn pickers and considerable
hand husking is necessary. The
State corn crop is estimated at
57,120,000 busels, 6 million under*
last year and about 2,400,000
under average. *
Potato Harvest Delayed
Wet ground delayed harvest
ing of potatoes and on Nov- 1
digging was incomplete in all
areas, the Department reported.
Low prices discouraged growers
and some acieage may not be
worth harvesting, it was said
Threat of damage by freezing is
causing some concern although
freezing temperatures" came
about two weeks later than usual.
Yields per' acre average 235
bushels, 15 less than in 1954
The November 1 estimate is for
a crop of 13,395,000 bushels com
pared with 14,500 last year and
the average of 18,568,000 bushels

tended growing season without
killing frost permitted ripening
of nearly all late plantings of
corn and favored growth of gras
ses and winter grains. Pastures
were better than' usual and cattle
had to be grazed sparingly on
lush growth to prevent bloating.
Hay Productfon Off
Hay production was not up to
average and some sections in the
central and southeastern parts of
the State are short in supply. The
southwestern and northwestern
counties had more rain for all
crops during the growing season
and coalitions there have not
been *as bad. as in the eastern
part of the State The estimate
i§r all hay is 3,479,000 tons, 18,-
000 under 1954-
Tobacco production is now esti
mated at 40,815,000 pounds, near
ly 3 million less than last year
and 9 million lbs under aver
age. Oats, barley, rye and soy
bean production for the State
will exceed last year. Wheat, at
16.172.000 bushels, is about 3,-
600.000 less than last yean "and
the same amount under the 10-
year 1944-53 aveiage.
