THE HARVEST OF Mntmor

Adams, Franklin and York Coun
ties is expected to begin this
week, while in Erie County pick
ing will start about July 10.
While many Adams County
grcweis expect only half a nor
mal crop because of the light set
ot cherries, prospects m Cum
berland, York and Franklin Coun
ties were reported improved. In
the latter counties, however, the
effects of wet weather during the
bloom are apparent.

Consumers Indicate They Prefer Fat
Cuts of Beef, But Show Inconsistency
Consumers indicated that they
preferred the fatter grades of
beef according to the lesults of r
consumer preference study in the
St Louis, Mo , area.
In the study, loin steaks from
126 carcasses were given to 266
cooperating St Louis household
ers They represented various fed
eral grades and shear strengths.
Shear strength is the pounds ot
pressure needed to cut a piece of
cooked meat. Anything over 20
pounds is considered undesirable
from the standpoint of eating
quality.
STEAKS USED in the test were
presented to householders two at
a time wih the pair representing
different grades. These pairs in
volve comparing Prime and Good
grades and Choice and Standard
grades
Each of the loin pairs Prime
and Good, Choice and Standard
was tasted twice by two adults
in either 12 or 14 households.
IN THE COMPARISON of
Choice and Standard grades, 57
per cent of the cooperators pick
ed the Choice grades as their
preference both of the times thev
were asked to make the com
parison
However, seven per cent of the
consumers asked to make the
comparison preferred the Stand
ard loin steaks. The remaining 36
per cent of the households were
inconsistent that is, they pre
ferred the Choice grade one time
and Standard grade the other.
WHEN PRIME AND Good
grades were compaied, results
were much the same Forty-eight
per cent of the consumeis ex

consistent,
Although results of the stiKly
indicate that the consumer pre
fers the grades with the greater
amounts of fat, the proportion of
inconsistent preference sugge-t:.
there was little difference be
tween many of the leaner and fat
ter loins-
In fact there was evidence m
the study that suggested that
many of the loins from leaner
grades were as acceptable or more
so, than a good number of the fit
ter grades.
IN ANOTHER PHASE of the
meat research project, 40 fami) -:s
were asked to evaluate quartets
of beef Twenty-four of the quar
ters used m the lest were made
up of cuts representing Choice
Good and Standard grades. In
general, the families getting the-o
composited quarters thought all
the cuts they received were the
same grade
Of the remaining 16 quarters,
eight graded Good and a 1 t e
number graded Standard.
