Milk Production
Down in April;
Pastures Slow
HARRISBURG Cold weath
er and resulting late growth of
pastures marked the first time
in 17 years that Pennsylvania
milk production for April slump
ed below that for March, the
State Department of Agriculture
reported today.
April output of 590 million
pounds of milk was five million
under this March but still set
an alltime April record, Fed
eral-i State surveys showed. The
previous April high was 572
million pounds, set last year
Because farmers were unable
to get their cows on pasture the
seasonal increase m daily pro
duction of milk per cow from
March to April was the lowest
in 26 years of record, the De
partment said.
Milk Cow Numbers Steady
The number of milk cows in
herds during April was estimat
■ed at 944,000, the same as a
month earlier, but 6,000 more
than the 938,000 estimate for
April 1955
Cool weather and lack of graz
ing forced farmers to advance
feed requirements to above aver
age Except in western and
south central counties a consid
erable number of farmers were
buying hay. Good supplies of
hay in western areas and limited
amounts elsewhere in the State
'reflects adequate rainfall last
summer in the west while most
other areas suffered shortages,
observers declared
Hsty $lO A Ton No Buyer
In southwestern Pennsylvania
some good hay found no buyers
at $lO pfer ton around the first
of May, according to' reports
Spring work on Pennsylvania
farms is about two weeks late
this year. By May 1 the condi
tion --of pastures was the lowest
in several years Seeding of
oats was incomplete in all areas
and in the northern counties
only a small part of the intend
ed acreage has been sown.
For the first fourth months
of this year milk production is
record high in Pennsylvania
totaling 2,210,000,000 pounds or
5 per cent above the 2,106,000,-
000 for January-Apnl last year.
Accidents Costly to
Pennsylvania Farmers
Accidents on farms and m
farm homes of Pennsylvania cost
more than a million dollars a
year for medication and hospital
ization, rural sociologists of the
Pennsylvania State University
decided after making a study on
2,288 farms in 48 counties.
The computed cost is in ad
dition to loss of time from work
by the victims and the cost of
replacements.
Wednesday and Saturday are
the most dangerous days of the
week, according to the study.
Victims blamed themselves for
carelessness, haste, or Iforget
fulness in three-quarters of the
accidents.
