40—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Nov. 2.1974
Vegetable Outlook
Fresh market vegetable
prices received by growers
have declined seasonally,
but not as sharply as in 1073.
For the balance of the year
higher prices than last fall
are likely becauae the
acreage for fall harvest is off
8 percent. Much of this
decline is in Western lettuce
and carrots plus reduced
Florida' tomato plantings.
Also, retail fresh vegetable
prices generally will be
higher than a year earlier
during the fall. Higher retail
prices in 1974 are the result
of wider margins much of
the year, but this fall,
smaller supplies will be a
factor, too.
Moderately larger sup
plies of processed vegetables
are likely for the new
marketing season. But the
picture is not a balanced one,
since the gains are con
centrated in the tomato lines
and in frozen items. In
contrast, the supply of
canned vegetables exclusive
of tomatoes will likely be
about the same as the tight
supply of the 1973-74 season.
A larger supply of frozen
vegetables, the possibility of
a significant off-season

California, plus some winter
harvest green beans for
canning in Florida, and some
additional frozen imports
from Mexico, would partly
ease the situation. So, we will
not run out of processed
vegetables, but our
vegetable choices in 1974-75
may be different.
Disappearance of
processed vegetables in 1974-
75 can be expected to hold
close to or fall slightly below
the previous season despite
the probability of a larger
total supply. This is due to
the static economy and to
more plentiful supplies of
other foods like rice, pasta
products, dry beans and dry
peas.
U.S. fall potato production
is expected to be 287 million
cwt, a record crop 13 per
cent above last year.
Production in the Eastern
States is up 23 percent while
the Central States have 13
percent more and there is a
tenth larger crop in the West.
Grower prices can be ex
pected to be lower even with
the need for larger supplies
for processing purposes. The
size of this crop would in
dicate at most a moderate
rise in jprices through the

The beginning of
November and first thing we
know it will be Thanksgiving
and Christmas holidays.
When you are part of a big
family, planning a get*
together can be a big un
dertaking. Even setting a
date to suit everyone’s whim
is almost impossible. One
person has important
business to attend to and
another must go on a
vacation and so it goes.
Personally, I feel people
should make their plans fit
the hosts plans if at all
storage season.
A 7 percent larger
sweetpotato crop has
recently lowered grower
prices for both fresh
marketing and processing
below a year earlier.
Increased acreage and
good yields have poshed U.S.
dry bean production to 22
million cwt., 31 percent more
than last year. A crop this
large will easily furnish
domestic canners and dry
pack users with plentiful
supplies, not to mention the
prospect of a larger volume
for export trade. Grower
prices have been moving
steadily downward since the
March peak. Further
selective declines by class
are likely and prices will
likely be near their lowest
levels this winter.

Really I’ve never been too
good at planning far ahead
like reservations for a plane
trip 90 days in advance or
planning next summer’s
vacation now. I rather like
spur of the moment things
like inviting a neighbor in for
a cup of coffee some morning
or saying lets take a drive to
another county today. By
doing this, it is hard to say if
I lose the joy of anticipation
or lose the agony of waiting
for some pleasant event.
We had a hog butchered
last month and when I went
for the meat, in order to
wrap and freeze it, I found
that seven pans of scrapple
were part of the deal. As
some of my family don’t like
scrapple, I offered to trade
four pans for other
groceries.
In exchange I got 5 pounds
of cornstarch, 5 pounds of
rice, 2 pounds of cocoa and 3
pounds of prunes which
really pleased everyone as
the butcher’s family was
anxious to eat the “first
scrapple of the season’’;
considering the price of
sugar I’m glad that I bought
25 pounds of brown sugar
that same day as we can
certainly use it in cookies
and cakes. I’ll admit that our
big bags of rye and whole
wheat flour are not disap-
