Domestic shipments of all important fresh vegetables except carrots and celery were heavier with Florida tomatoes showing the greatest gain. Larger stocks of storage onions contributed to this supply, too. Farm and retail prices for fresh vegetables likely will ' hold steady to slightly higher in the second quarter. Some seasonal decline is expected in third quarter 1975. Processed vegetable supplies have been ample this season. The combination of increased packs and some reduction in demand has eased the tight supply position which prevailed for much of 1974. In response to a generally adequate supply picture, processors handling 8 major vegetable crops expect to contract for 3 percent more vegetable acreage in 1975. These 8 vegetables account for about 90 percent of all processed vegetable tonnage. This year there is further expansion of & MAFFirr .ar Lancaster Farming, Saturday.

A larger total canned pack is likely for 1975, but freezers may cut back moderately to avoid excessive supplies in 1975-76. After 2 years of high prices and relatively light market supplies, this year the potato industry is working its way out of a serious oversupply situation. April 1 stocks of 73 million cwt were record large for that date. The spring crop production estimate is down a fourth, but prices to Eastern growers are expected to be generally weak well into the spring quarter. Western Russet Burbank prices have shown recent strength. Growers intend to plant 5 percent less acreage this summer and fall. The sharpest reductions are in Maine, Minnesota, and Idaho.

With generous supplies of dry beans now on hand, growers' intentions arc to plant 8 percent less acreage to dry beans this year. The largest cuts arc to come in California where limas and blackcye peas arc grown, and in Michigan, the major source of pea beans. These classes are currently in heaviest supply. An 8 per cent acreage cut under average yield conditions would still provide more than adequate supplies for the coming season.
