Snap Beans, Sweet Corn
Plantings Expected Up
Pennsylvania farmers are
expected to plant more snap
beans and sweet com this year
and devote slightly less acreage
to cabbage, according to the
Pennsylvania Crop Reporting
Service.
The Commonwealth’s 1972
acreage of snap beans contracted
for processing will be about 8,300
acres, 26 per cent above last year
and 36 per cent above the 1970
planted acreage.
This compares with a four per
cent national increase in snap
bean plantings at 260,770 acres.
The prospective plantings are

Pennsylvania processors ex
pect to contract 8,100 acres of
sweet com in 1972, eight per cent
above 1971 and 11 per cent above
the 1970 planted acreage.
Nationally, 468,050 prospective
acres for sweet corn for
processing represents a five per
cent increase over 1971 and a nine
per cent increase over 1970.
A survey of the state’s cabbage
growers indicates 1,600 acres will
be devoted to the late summer
crop, 100 acres less than last
year’s crop.

Bats Highest Rabies Carrier
Two cases of rabies were
verified in Pennsylvania in
March. One skunk was infected in
Greene County and a dog con
tracted the disease in Mifflin
County, the latest county to
report rabies.
The Pennsylvania Bureau of
Animal Industry’s Miscellaneous
Disease Division reported 21
rabies cases during the nine
month period between July 1,
1971 and March 29, 1972. During
the same period the previous
year, ten cases were discovered.
Bats remain the number one
carrier, accounting for one-third
of all rabies infections, although
no new cases involving bats were
reported in March. Other
animals infected in the past nine
months were; dogs (two);
skunks, (four); fox, (four); and
cattle, (four).
Rabies, an infectious virus
disease, affects the nervous
system of all warm-blooded
animals including man and is
fatal if not treated. It is usually
spread by the bite of an infected
animal.
The increase of rabies for the
past nine months is ascribed to

lambs weighing less than 100

To do this, it will be necessary for
participants to bring the birth

the disease’s cyclical or
“seasonal” nature. Dr Homer S
Forney, chief of the
Miscellaneous Diseases
Divisions, said, “The increase or
decrease of rabies depends on the
reservoir that is out in nature.” A
reservoir is built up by the
contacts made by a rabid animal.
Information compiled by the
bureau since 1943 shows the in
cidence of rabies is seasonal,
reaching a peak of infection
approximately one year out of a
four year period.
The maw reservoir of infection
is attributed to wildlife, since
immunization has reduced the
incidence among domesticated
animals.
