Crop Summary
Rainfall in the county this
week benefited uop giowth
Theie weie a few icpoits of
eaily cutting of tobacco
Reduced humidity latei in
the week favoied cliying of
haj s
According to the Pa Crop
Repotting Seivice an inch or
moie of rain fell on the west
ern half of the state early in
the week
Pastures in particular show
ed marked impi ovement and
grazing is possible in most
sections. In some of the drier
aieas, especially the north
eastern cornei of the state,
“glasses lack succulence”
Com is looking good in most
areas, and the small grain har
vest is proceeding normally
although weeds hinder comb
ining in a few localities. Hay
making was speeded as reduc
ed humidity provided better
drying weather.
Sweet corn and early varie
ties of apples and peaches are
becoming more plentiful on
the market and at roadside
stands.
Sour cherries are a problem,
however. The bumper crop is
so big that processors are
having trouble keeping up
with supplies, and declining
puces may result in some of
the fruit not being picked
