This Year Raise Babcock
Bessies - American’s Reallv
Fine Layer in All Sections
of the U. S. I sincerely
believe you’ll find that Bab
cock Bessies combine these
ten factors better than any
commercial egg layer ever
developed. 1. ESSSpraonar
livability as chicks and as
layers 2 High rate of lay. 3.
Large early egg size. Also
nice uniform size eggs. 4.
Chalk white shells 5. Per
sistency. Lay heavily for 12
to 15 months. Also good se
cond year layers. 6. Good
freedom from cannibalism if
properly managed. 7. Easy
birds to handle 8 Good
shells and interior egg quali
ty. 9. Just the right size bird
J:o, give _you ;gpod feed con
version and yet give you tt -
big egg without getting all
tired out doing it. 10. A
really fine cage layer
Babcock Bessies are a
White Leghorn strain cross
produced by mating a fine
“top-cross” male we have
been breeding for several
years onto our pure Babcock
Barbara strain females we
have been breeding for 18
years.
Send for our 1957 catalog
which is one of the most in
structive poultry catalogs
ever published.

State Crops
Yield Higher;
Values Gain
HARRISBURG Higher
yields of corn, hay, tobacco and
potatoes, coupled with impiovad
prices for potatoes, advanced the
total vatue of all 1956 Pennsyl
vania farm ciops by approxi
mately $2l million over last
year, the State Department of
Agriculture announced today.
In a year-end summary of
crop production, the Pennsyl
vania Crop Reporting Service
said the farm value of princi
pal crops and fruits totals
$311,915,000 for 1956. This
compares with $290,525,000 for
last year, an advance of seven
per cent. The higher yields of
field crops offset declines in
fruit.
The corn crop of bumper
proportions m cential and south
eastern areas led the advance
with af gain' of $14,426,000 for a
total of $lO4 Yield per acre at
56 bushels (shelled basis) was
an all-time record for PennsyS
vama The total crop of 71,736,-
000 bushels was second only to
the record of 72,726,000 bushels
in 1919.
All fruits except grapes show
ed declines in production and
value this year compared with
1955 Value of the 1956 fruit
Drorb'ction at $18,877,000 was
down 15* per cent' , m>m cne
335,000 tota9 a year earlier
Potatoes set record yields
per acre, summer varieties av
eraging 170 bags of 100 lbs
each with fall potatoes aver
aging 165 bags per acre. The
estimated 1700 pounds of cigar
leaf tobacco per acre also is
record' high. Quality of the
crop is the best in years. Av
erage yield, of, wheat at 27
bushels per acre was the sec
ond highest of record, exceed
ed only by the 28-bushel aver
age in 1954.
Commercial apple production,
hard hit by May freezes, came
to 4,5 90,000 bushels, sharply be
low the 10-year average of six
million bushels and 1955 produc
tion of 6,500,000 bushels. Peaches,
pears and cherries also dropped
below 1955 production
Pennsylvania's acreage of
crops harvested in 1956 declined
sharply from 1955. Corn acreage
was down four per cent, wheat
six per cent, oats four per cent,
barley nine per cent, buckwheat
27 per cent and all potatoes 12
per cent. Increases were hay,
14,000 acres; tobacco, 500 acres
and rye, 2000 acres. Buckwheat
and potato acreage is now only
one-tenth as great as in 1920.
