Near Record
Predicted By
Harrisburg A crop of
71 1 million bushels of corn,
the fourth laigest crop evci
to be grown in Pennsylvania,
is expected this year, the
State Ci op Reporting Service
predicts
Corn yield is estimated at
55 bushels an acre With a
late frost and normal grow
ing conditions the remainder
of the season, Pennsylvania
could easily realize a near
record pi oduction
Small gram yields exceed
ed earlier expectations. An
average of 30 bushels an
acre, equal to the record of
1958 is expected for wheat
Rye yield* are estimated to
be 25 bushels an acre Barley
growers reaped better yields
than expected, an average of
41 bushels an acre In some
southeastern localities, yields
were cut because the crop
had lodged.
The oats picture is spotty
Winter oats were harvested
with good yields, but disease
had infected later oats plant
ings in some localities. As
harvest progressed, the yield
was reported to be better
than had been expected
Higher daytime tempera
tures and frequent, timely
rains and showers during
July pushed crop growth.
Com and tobacco grew vig
orously Grasses and legumes
for hay and silage also made
excellent growth Pastures
are mostly in fine shape and
providing most of the feed
requirements for livestock.
Temperatures averaged
about normal for the month
during the day, but were
mostly below normal at mte
As a result, average tempera
tures for the month were be
low normal. Rainfall, for the
State as a whole, was more
than normal, but some areas
in the Central mountains and
valley areas had less
A crop of 49,500 000 lbs.
of Pennsylvania seedleaf to
bacco is now expected. This
is a considerable improve
ment over prospects a month
earlier Near ideal growing
conditions for tobacco pre
vailed in Lancaster County
area during July and the
crop made up for much of
the effects of late planting.
Digging of the summer
cobbler potato crop got un
derway in late July and in
early August Blight struck
many fields and will hasten
harvest operations. The late
potato crop progressed satis
factorily during July and
yields were expected to av
erage normal for the season.
Gains in yield prospects
for several major crops dur
ing July give promise of ma
king 1960 the Nation’s big
gest crop year Corn pros
pects eased up and winter
wheat and oats outyielded
earher expectations. Spring
wheat and barley prospects,

ing states were hot and dry
Total feed gram tonnage is
new expected to fall about
4 per cent below last year
Oat production is substantial
ly above last year, but the
corn, sorghum, and barley
crops are expected to be
smaller than m 1859. A 4 1
billion bushel corn crop is in
prospect, about 1 per cent
above the forecast a month
ago, but 6 per cent below the
record production in 1959
About 75% of electrical

people who had no intention
of buying them at the begin

88% of American families

newspaper ad gave them the
idea.
