14—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, April 18, 1959 2,200 Acres Added to Pa. Spring Vegetable Crops The Penna. Crop Reporting Service has released a state vegetable prospect for April 1 plantings, which re ports that growers indicate intentions to plant 3,600 acres to summer cabbage this year. This acreage will go principally into fresh markel channels with a small amount going for processing on a non-contract basis. A spring spinach crop of 22,000 cwt from 500 acres is now in prospect the re port says. This is 2,000 cwt. less than last year. Acreage was down 100 acres, but an average yield of 45 cwt. is in prospect, 500 lbs. above last year. If intentions are realized an estimated 2,300 acres will be planted to Lima Beans for processing this year. Last year’s planted acreage was 2,100, resulting in smaller stock carry over which con tributed to the 10 per cent increase for 1959 plantings. Prospective plantings of snap beans for processing in the state amounts to 6,600 acres, 12 per cent more than the 5,900 acres planted last year. An estimated 10,000 acres of sweet corn for processing will be planted in the state if intentions are realized. This would represent an in crease of 15 per cent from the 8,600 acres planted last year. U. S. Vegetables Spring vegetable product ion in the United States this year is expected to total a bout the same as last year and slightly above average. Crops with substantially smaller production than last year are tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, snap beans and Jimas Less sweet com, green peppers, beets and eggplant also are forecast. Combined production of early and mid-spring aspara gus is slightly lower than a These reductions are partially offset by a large increase in celery. More lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinich, green peas, carrots and shal lots are expected. State Certified Strawberry Plants H. F.
