Some Potato Losses Hit 100 Per Cent Harrisburg Excessive rams in western Pennsylvania counties during the latter part of the po tato growing season resulted in losses of up to 100 bushels per acre for some growers when tubers rotted in the ground, the State Department of Agriculture said today. In spite of adverse weather conditions, blight and inter rupted spraying schedules, a new all-time State record av erage yield of 165 bags pdr acre was established for fall potatoes, A new record yield per acre was also established for late summer potatoes, mostly Cob blers, at 170 bags of 100 lbs each, Federal-State surveys disclosed. Old records were 154 bags per acre for fall potatoes.-set in 1954, and 145 £ags per acre late sum mer varieties, set in 1950 and equalled in 1955. Fall spud production estimates as of November 1 are for a total crop of 7,425,000 bags compared with 7,569,000 bags in 1955 and the 10-year average of 9,051,000 bdgs This year’s Pennsylvania po tato crop was harvested from the s 'smallest commercial acre age ever known in the State, according to Department rec ords. The total of 45,000 acres is 7,200 less than in 1955. Dry weather during the second and third weeks of October per mitted daily attention to harvest ing of potatoes and nearly all were out of-the giound by late October The dry spell was especially welcome in ram-soaked western counties Yields apparently were best in the York County area. Yields and quality were generally good in the Lehigh area but some rot ting, snail injury and sunburn was reported. National production of fall po tatoes is placed at 167 million bags, 18 million above 1955 and 17 million above the 10-year av erage.

Price Supports For 1957 Corn (Continued from page 12) vision for price supports at low er levels for corn which was not produced under adjustment con trols. “On the basis of presently known facts of the general situation, we have no plans to offer such ‘non-compliance’ corn price supports for 1957 production. Farmers now have the opportunity to utilize the Soil Bank and other programs on a full-year basis. “I hope farmers will study the alternate corn programs care fully, and then vote on Decem ■ber 11 for the one they deter mine to be in their best inter est’’ Farmers will receive notice of their individual com base acre ages and acreage allotments for 1957 from the county Agricul tural Stabilization and Conserva tion committees before the refer endum. Other information about the referendum and the alter nate programs upon which farm ers will vote will also be avail able from the ASC committees and county agricultural agents. Operating details of the 1957 corn price support program, and the basis for determinations under the controlling legislative formula, will be announced in the near future. ♦♦ ♦♦ «♦ ♦♦ *♦ ♦♦ o H ♦♦ “The average American takes off his hat to Britain,” says a New York newspaper.
