There are almost two
million newspapers published
in America. To bring the latest
news to you, editors work
long hours selecting items
that will both inform and
interest their readers. A
newspaper is more than an
announcement of current
events. It is a forum for
opinion, for stories of human
interest, for advertising
that core of American free
enterprise.
There are more than two
million members of the
Teamsters Union, and many
of them help to make the
road safer for you. Before
any trip, they check their
tires, brakes, rear view
mirrors, connections,
windshield wipers and lights,
review the road conditions
and the weather, because
they want to make the streets
they drive as safe as possible.
Often the cargo they haul is
worth thousands of dollars,
but human life they value
much more.
Vine Valley Pavanne Lu
Anson is the May 1973 son of
Lu Ann. He was bred by Leon
W. Button of Rushville, N.Y.,
and boasts a pedigree solid
in Excellents for his dam and
sire, as well as all of his
granddams and grandsires.
Lu Ann herself is “2E”,
with a Cow Index of plus 822
lb. milk and plus 32 lb. fat.
She has records up to 23,230
lb. milk, 4.2 percent, 1,002 lb.
fat, 2x, 365 days.
for requirements. ADEQUATE - Enough to meet needs.
LIGHT - Less than adequate; not enough for normal
needs.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports
that wholesale and retail market supplies of apples,
pears, and rice will be unusually heavy during October.
Specialists with USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Ser
vice report fresh apples and processed apples products
will be in excessively large supply. This year’s apple crop
is expected to be 12 percent larger than last year and the
largest commercial crop on record. The fresh Bartlett
pear crop is forecast to top last year’s by 4 percent. With
the rice crop partially harvested and the rest in progress
in the Southwest, the forecast calls for a new record-high
production of 9 percent over last year’s large crop.
The Apple Crunch
U.S. production of apples is forecast at 173.7 million
bushels to set a new record.
Abundant supplies of fresh apples will be available over
a longer period and in greater numbers than usual.
However, heavy tonnage will be committed to processed
apple products.
Buyers should look for firm, crisp apples of good color,
flavor varies with types of apples. For best flavor and
texture, apples are picked when fully mature.
* * *
Bartlett pear production in California, Oregon, and
Washington is expected to be near the record. Total crop
is forecast at 516,000 tons.
The bumper crop will keep the fresh market pipelines
full through October with plenty left for commercial
processors.
In Oregon and Washington, as of mid-September, the
anticipated pack of 2,636,000 standard box equivalents for
fresh market would exceed the 1974 pack by 600,000 boxes.
In California the pack for fresh market of 3,846 carloads
has exceeded the early season estimate by more than 300
carloads, and 1974 shipments by nearly 800 carloads.
Generally, Barlett pears are not tree ripened. They are
picked and packed green. A day or so at room tem
perature, Bartlett pears turn a creamy yellow and yield
slightly to gentoe thumb pressure. This indicated they are
fully ripe for good eating.
Rice production in the South and California is forecast
to set a new record of 124.8 million hundred-pound bags.
That figure represents a 9-percent increase over last
year’s large crop and 28 percent above the past 3-year
average.
Because of its high quality and cleanliness, it is the
preferred rice of the world. And to all parts of the globe it
will go. While the U.S. producers less than 2 percent of the
world’s entire crop, about 60 percent of our rice crop is
slated for export while domestic needs are covered amply
as well.
