but 36 per cent less than av
erage.
A heavy state apple crop
has seen drastically reduced
prices as 6,400,000 bushels
crowded the market The
crop was 230,000 bushels
pnder 1957’s total.
The Nov. 1 tobacco yield
estimate remained unchang
ed at a record 1,750 pounds
per acre If realized, this av
erage on 29,000 harvested
acres will give a total pro
duction of 50,750,000 pounds
of cigar leaf Tlus is 23 per
cent above last year and 3
per cent above the average
of the 10 years 1947-56.
The best crop in a gener
ation* in Lancaster County
sold early and rapidly, be
cause of its extremely high
quality and poorer prospects
in other cigar leaf produc
tion areas
