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

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.
