FALL PLOWING IS
MAJOR FARM ACTIVITY
Scattered showers in many
sections of the State in the
past week improved conditions
for fall plowin'.', according to
the Pennsylvania Crop Re
porting Service. Although soil
moisture is still very short
throughout the £" t ‘e, plowing
is now possible in most areas.
The effects of earlier showers
are becoming more no l iceable
in pastures and hay fields,
which have made considerable
growth during the last couple
weeks Besides plowing, the
principle farm activities dur
ing the week consisted of fill
ing silos, picking tomatoes,
digging potatoes, picking fruit,
bay making and topping and
cu'tlng tobacco
GRAINS
Plowing and fitting of seed
beds foi fall grains is progress
ing rapidly in the sou'h. and
is making some progress in
northern counties Oat har
vest still continues in a few
localized northern areas, but
is practically completed State
wide Buckwheat: The limited
acreage in buckwheat is mak
ing good growth.
CORN
Although the corn picture
is somewhat improved, much
of the State’s crop normally
harvested for grain will be
put iin silos. Ear development
has been better since recent
rams, but the ears will be
short and yields low Com is
just reaching the dented stag®
in the south and, the dough
stage m the north?
KAY AND PASTURE
Although the amount of
feed being obtained from pas
ture is still below normal
throughout the State, pastures
are now providing some feed.
Recent rains improved pros
pects for a late" cutting of
hay, but stands are still quite
short in most areas. .
FRUIT^
Recent rams helped fruit
prospects, primarily in areas
where mdgation had kept the
crop growing Reports from
fruit areas indicate that some
trees on poor soils have died
as a result of the hot dry
weather Peach harvest com
tmues with small size, but ex
cellent quality Picking of Sun.
Highs and Hale Havens is
nearly completed in the Ad
arrs-Fianklin-Yoik area where
picking of Elbeitas is lust get
ting staited Although some
apples aie being picked, har
vest is being clslajed as long
as possible to get fuither siz
ing of the fruit Some nicking
of Rambos continues Haivest
of Yellow Transparents is over
in most sections Imgatioa
continues where facilities are
available Picking of Bartlett
pears is iust beginning in the
southern area
TOBACCO
Topping of tobacco continues
in the Lancaster County area,
with cutting just getting
started. Quality has improved,
recently, but growth has been
very irregular Digging of
Cobbler potatoes is nearly
completed The tubers were
small and yields light The
fall crop in the north looks
good to excellent, with pros
pects improving daily Tomato
harvest continues with later
pickings producing larger
fruit.
