W^P»P«-W>J!EVlS*rifa'')n' Rates Announced / For Participation In Soil Bank Plan Washington—(USDA) Sec retary -of Agriculture Ezra Tati 1 Benson has announced the n» tional average rates which wil be used in determining pay mepts which can be earned bj tobacco and peanut growei who participate in the 1956-crop Soil ißank program, after .enter ing into agreements with then local County Agricultural Stabil ■zation and Conservation (ASC, Committees Rates for corn, cotton, wheat and rice were announced. Maj 31, 1956. Under the Acreage Reserve part of the Soil Bank, growers n areas where the crop is not oo far advanced will be able to earn payments in connection with their 1956 crops of tobacco and peanuts by putting land into he Acreage Reserve and thus educing the acreage below the allotment established for the farm. Cautions Tobacco Growers “1 want to caution tobacco groweis and peanut giowers, as 1 believe I have other farmers, on one point,” said Secretary Benson “No farmer should go ihead with action to participate in the Soil Bank until he has entered into an agreement with 'ns local county ASC committee The \lack of time to get more complete information into the tobacco and peanut growing ireas makes this especially im portant We are moving ahead o get instructions to the county committees as lapidly as possi ble “The tobacco and peanut acre age reserves, like those for the other basic crops, are emergen cy programs for 1956 We will be able to develop more compre lensive programs before the 195 T and later crop years ” The payments which tobacco growers can earn for participat ng m the Acreage Reserve will oe determined by multiplying i base unit ‘hate per pound” by ‘he yield established for the farm (and the land placed in T. 2 reserve) by the county com mittee, with a maximum pay ment on any farm not to exceed 115 percent of the national yield, multiplied by the base unit rate per pound The na tional average rates of payment for the 1956 crops of the various types of tobacco are as follows. Flue-cured, types 11-14 18 cents perpound Burley type 31— 18 ” ” Maryland type 32 JY 99 99 99 Fire-cured, types 21-24 13 ” ” Dark air-cured, types 35-36 12 ” ” Va.

Producers of Virginia and Va lencia type peanuts, however, will not be eligible^ to partici pate in the 1956-crop Acreage Reserve. Acreage allotments for these types of peanuts werein creasd for 1956 - because of a shortage in the supply situa tion. Their Acreage Reserve quotas for this year have there fore been set at zero.

And they pieferred btead with a 4 per cent content of milk solids over bread with no milk solids On the other hand, there was not a significant prefer ence for bread with 8 per cent of milk solids, over that with 4 per cent; nor for bread with 5 per cent of lard, over that with 3 per cent. Interviews with the home makers showed that they used a wide variety of breads, such as white, whole wheat, french, and special formula breads; but white pan bread was the only kind bought several times a week by a large proportion of those 1 visited. Nearly all served bread at all three meals each day, but in considerable num ber of households there were individuals who did not eat bread regularly. 54 The principal characteristics desired by the homemakers in the bread they bought were freshness at the time of pur chase, ability to retain fresh ness, a pleasing taste, and an absence of doughiness or gum miness.

County Water Supplies Chester Pennsylvania Pig Crop This Year Reduced HARRISBURG In the wake of last year’s fairly heavy pio duction of pork in the State and Nation, farmers of Pennsyl vania this year are making a reduction of six per cent in the number of pigs they plan to raise. The State Department of Agriculture, following Federal- State surveys, today announced that the 1956 Pennsylvania spring pig crop is estimated at 530,000 head, down two pei cent from last year and slightly more than two percent undei the Id-year average Farmers have indicated that the fall crop of pigs should come to about 420,- 000 head for an annual total of 950,000 or about 6 per cent under the total 1955 production of 1,008,000 head. In its estimates, the Depart ment classifies spring pigs as those farrowed during the six month period ended May 31.

An average of 6 8 pigs per litter were saved this spring compar ed with the average of seven saved per litter for the same period last year, the Depart ment said Based on breeding intentions reports from about 4,800 Penn sylvania hog producers, a total of 60,000 sows is expected to farrow between June 1 and November 30 of this year If their breeding intentions ma tenahez this would represent'la 9 per cent reduction from the number of sows, farrowed last fall. By applying the 10-year average of seven fall pigs per litter to the intended 60,000 sows would result m a prospec tive fall pig crop of 420,000 head. .Nationally, the 1956 spring pig crop totaled slightly more than 53 million head, a decline of eight per cent from the spring of 1955 Combined with the esti mated fall crop, the national total for this year should be approximately 88 million head, also eight per cent under last year
