Output Down
Apple production in Penn
sylvania in 1972 dipped

year because of poor weather
conditions, notably Hurricane
Agnes floods in June.
According to the Pennsylvania
Crop Reporting Service, apple
production for the com
monwealth totaled 400 million
pounds in 1972, a decrease of 140
million pounds from the previous
year’s production total of 540
million pounds.
York Imperial, the com
monwealth’s leading apple
variety, was down 26 percent
from last year. A production
estimate of 98 mil’>on pounds
accounts for over 24 percent of
the total state apple crop.

Windows Can Leak
Cold Air
If your windows are leaking
cold air, up to 30 percent of your
family’s beating bill is being
caused by warm air leakage or
cold air infiltration. To seal out
the howling wind, Extension
specialists at The Pennsylvania
State University, suggest you get
storm windows or double-pane
insulating glass. Or use weather
stripping at movable joints and
caulk the frames of all windows
and doors.

APPLY LIME ON FROZEN
GROUND
Don’t hesitate to apply lime, even if the ground
is frozen. The freezing and thawing action of
Winter helps disseminate the lime, assuring you
a properly balanced soil, ready for Spring
plowing. And remember, liming pays in extra
bushels and tons of crops and forage.
