Crop Summary
Wheat Harvest In County Slow
Combines moved into Lan
caster County wheat fields in
limited numbers this week.
Rainy weather kept harvest
ing to a minimum and the
effect of the late spring is
being reflected in the delay
of near’y two weeks in har
vest date Scattered reports
on the few crops in the bin
indicate good, but not rec
ord. yields in prospect.
Barley harvest has moved
into central counties and
high yields continue to be re
ported, the State Crop Re
porting Service said Tuesday
in its weekly crop and wea
ther summary.
Pennsylvania’s corn crop is
in fair condition. Farmers
say that more rain and hot
weather is needed for maxi
mum growth.
The cool weather is also
holding back the tomato crop
Tomatoes are sizing very
well, and the stand is good,
but maturity and growth is
being retarded. Tomatoes in
the north and western parts
of the state are growing fast
er than those in other areas.
Some Pennsylvania - grown
tomatoes were moving into
fresh markets this week.
Sweet com, also s’owed by
the cool nights, will not
start to market until the end
of (he month.

in southern counties in full
volume last week. The beans

Tobacco Crop
Estimate Up

an above average crop of
52.7 million pounds of cigar
tobacco is now anticipated in
Pennsylvania, the Slate Crop
Reporting Service said in a
special report this week.
COMPLETELY
PELLETED
RATIONS
MILLER & BUSHONG
EFFICIENT, because each pellet contains a full feed formu
la. Complete. Uniform. Pellets provide a normal molas
ses ration. Digestibility is excellent. Pellets make it
easier for the cow to consume its full allotment of ration
in the milking parlor.
ECONOMICAL handling/ because completely pelleted
rations are more practical for convenient bulk feeding.
No separation of pellets and fines. Your dairy herd
enjoys a better balanced diet. What's more/ there is
less waste in handling and feeding.
CHOOSE Green Pasture 16% Dairy Ration or # 22 Dry and
Freshening Ration, both completely pelleted lor your
convenience, economy, efficiency.
MILLER & BUSHONG, he.

This 52.7 million pounds is
approximately the same as
last year but is 11 per cent
above the 1950 average. Pre
liminary surveys show Penn
sylvania farmers, mostly in
Lancaster County, planted
31,000 acres this year, the
same as last year. This is
slightly ’above the reported
intentions in March.
Because of the cool spring,
transplanting was set back
a week to ten days with
some tobacco left to be
planted in July, but not as
much as last year.
Tobacco that has been
p’anted has had fairly good
starting weather, and nearly
all the plants are off to a
good start. There has been
sufficient amounts of rain for
food growth and in only a
few localized acreas is there
yellowing of plants from the
lack of sunshine.
