Tubers Rot In Wet Soil; Frost General Harrisburg In its final weather and crop report for the 1956 season the State Depart ment of Agriculture today said that during the week ended Monday farmers in the north western portion of the State had one of the best working weeks of the entire season. The first general • frost on September 21 ended the growing season for this year. In the previously rain-soaked western counties of Pennsyl vania very little rain and plen ty of sunshine was reported •ast week and fields were dry enough to support machinery, the Federal-State survey re port declared. But the rest of the State cool weather, cloudy skies and some rains caused by remnants of hurricane “Flossie’’ continued to re strict farm operations. 'Lateness of the season may prevent some grapes from ripen ing m the Erie Lake Shore area, the Department said. The crop is heavy but ripening slowly Harvest .of peaches was pleted in most sections. Picking of Jonathan and Red Delicious apples is underway in the Adams County fruit area Late; varieties are still sizing and adding color. Cutting of corn for silage is underway in all parts of the State and picking of corn for grain has started in southeastern counties “Planting 'of winter wheat- is underway in that sec tion. Pastures" are still fairly good, the' Department said. Potato growers in the northwest are still reporting tubers--rotting in the wet Soils. Practically all of the tobacco crop is cut with good quality reported. The wfeather forecast for the Oct. 2-6 period calls for near normal temperatures, slightly below normal m the western half of the State. There Will he scattered showers in all sections, mostly toward the end of the week. Total rainfall may be one half inch in the .western part, one-fourth to one-half inch in the east. The nation’s production has passed the annual rate of $4OO million in two quarters during the last year, according to re vised estimates by the Depart ment of Commerce. Both were record figures.
