W MOUNT Jot« PA, PHONE MW *«x mmmmmmmmmmmm co, the State Department of Agriculture reported today fol lowing Crop Reporting Service surveys as of Nov. 1. With some farmers iil'a few favored localities getting as much as 100 bushels of shelled corn per acre, the State average of 53 bushels was 3 bushels higher than the previous record set in 1954. The short season- and ex cessive rains left much corn high in moisture content, the De partment said. Late potatoes gave a record 'yield of 165 bags of 100 pounds each per acre, 20 bags more than last year. The late crop of 7.425,000 bags is slightly less than last year and comes from the smallest potato acre age ever known in the State. Cigar leaf tobacco had a rec ord yield of 1,700 pounds per acre for- a total crop of more than 50 million pounds. The 10- year average is 1,520 pounds per acre. Growers anticipate that the extra high quality crop may com mand good prices. Below normal rainfall during October, combined with above normal temperatures for the first time in many months, favored harvest of late crops. Some of the best quality hay of the en tire season was stored. Central and southeastern counties had the most rain, much of it late in the month which hindered picking of fruit, potato digging, corn picking and seeding of winter wheat. The com crop in central and southeastern areas was of bumper proportions. Storage space proved to be inadequate on many farms. Much com was still high in moisture when picked. Driers worked over time to handle waiting truck loads of com. Some spoilage of early cribbed corn was re ported. The 1956 Pennsylvania total com crop is estimated at 70 mil lion bushels, nine million better than 'last year and the same amount above average. Initial estimates on soybeans show a crop of 506,000 bushels compared with 440,000 last year and the average of 400,000 r _ ! <V| i. ► , > Vi^ b > ~ * * ’ ■ ‘ - n * l Dinn Will Head Inter-State Unit In County, for ’57 Samuel A Dum, East Peters burg, is the new president _pf the Lancaster Inter-State Milk Mar ket Committee, which was re organized for 1957 at a meeting at the Farm Bureau.

The high average yield of all hay at 1.64 tons per acre resulted from heavy summer rains and gave a total crop of 3.8 million tons for the State. In western counties quality of hay is the poorest in many years. Northwestern Pennsylvania counties that had suffered heavi ly from excessive rains during most of the growing season were favored by October weath er. Soggy ground dried out and permitted daily attention to field work. Weather in the west and north was especially favorable for potato growers. Digging ad vanced rapidly and losses due to rotting m the ground were re duced. N*m#. < kirn*** *itkMkkhkk*i**ati*uu**iHhukJkk**m***muu*uk******* Shies Dates : NOVEMBER Nov.. 30—Mrs. Dorothy M.
