Pa.- Cattle Leading x Cash Receipts From Marketing Washington (U'SDA) Half of farmers’ 1955 cash re ceipts for farm commodities in the United States came from the sale of five major commod itxes cattle, wholesale "milk, hogs, cotton and wheat. Cattle and calves accounted for 16.7 percent, wholesale milk 12 2 per cent, hogs 9.9 pei cent, cotton 9 percent, and wheat 5 7 percent. Thirty years ago, according to the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, cotton re ceipts led all the rest, cattle was second, hogs third as m 1955, wheat fourth, and wholesale milk fifth States Summarized Changes in farmers’ cash re ceipts for farm products in the country as a whole and in each of the 48 states are shown in the bulletin, publication of which is announced today by the Department. Each page gives a summary of the data for a State. Pages appear in alphabetical order, from Alabama to Wisconsin. On each page are graphs that trace the development of cash re ceipts, as' a percentage of the total, for two to four important farm products by five-year in tervals from 1924 to 1955. Ta bles give percentages of State totals of cash receipts of each of 12 commodities at the same’ 5-year interval in the 30-year period covered by the report. Summaries of the United States as a whole are also given Average Sizes Shown In addition, the tables show the average size of farms at each five-year k interval FOREST FIRES The Forest Service, together with Mumtalp Foundation, a nonprofit group, are> studying ways of controlling or pre venting bolts of lightning and violent hailstorms in areas where -they can do heavy dam age' to persons or property. Lightning accounts for millions of dollars worth of damage to property each year, particularly' in forest areas, which is esti mated at $lO million a year. a> r Weather Wet, Crops Suffer {Continued from page one) wildfire by proper management at seeding, apd m seed beds,” Mr. Sloat .reminded. Wildfire can spread from field ter fiteld. Corn in the Garden -Spot is tall. Infestations of corn borer aie perhaps heaviest in the past five yeajs. Early sweet corn was especially hard hit by worm damage, causing, market de preciation and - lowered quality. Further corn borer,-threats are not' too;senous/: BUl^the. second brood will'be-nii ’the" wing here between Aug. 15 and 20.' Most vegetables are late, and sweet corn quality is improving day by day There have been isolated reports of late blight in toma toes, but by using a high cop per concentrate and by double spraying, it can be eliminated. Being airborne, the blight can spread from one field to an other, from tomatoes ,to pota toes. Green-wrap tomato mar eting has been hit by adverse weather too. Leaf hoppers are very abund ant in potato and alfalfa fields. Insecticides are needed now. Mr. Sloat warns After the second crop of alfalfa is harvested and growth is two to three inches high, spray with 1% quarts' of methoxaclor to 40 to 100 gal lons of water per acre. Potatoes -are not sizing well due to the backward weather, but vine growth is heavy. Should conditions moderate, good sized tubers could develop soon. Small grains are reported in another story in today’s Lan caster Farming. NATIONAL DEBT The United States Government started the new 1957 fiscal year with a national debt of $272,- 750,813,649. This is $1,623,409,- 153 below the debt outstanding on July 1, 1955. It still amounts to about $1,623-for each of the 168 million men women and children-in the nation.
