If you’re not using a Surge H-Volume Tube Cooler or
Dairy Temp Recorder, you may be overlooking the best
profit protection you can buy.
A new Surge Tube Cooler can effectively improve milk
quality; reduce the cost of cooling milk; lower the cost of
heating water for dairy sanitation use; and relieve overloaded
milk cooling systems. This unique sanitary heat exchanger
can greatly reduce the amount of energy required for cooling
and heating operations, cutting hundreds of dollars off
your annual utility bill.
Surge Dairy Temp Recorders adapt to almost any tank
without modification; are the most accurate recorders on the
market; and come in special anti-corrosion cases.
It’s cheap insurance.
Let’s figure how much a Surge Tube Cooler and Recorder
could save you.

Summer fresh vegetables
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Summer fresh vegetable
supplies may be only slightly
smaller than a year earlier,
based on average yields of
the last three years. In ad
dition, a larger summer
onion acreage would
probably be offsetting so that
toal output of fresh
vegetables in the summer
quarter would be very close
to the 1975 figure. With fresh
vegetable prices to growers
already substantially below
a year earlier, the usual
summer seasonal decline
will seem longer in 1976.
Supplies of onions, pep
pers, and celery will
probably be more generous,
but reduced amounts of
lettuce, cabbage, and
tomatoes may be expected.
A larger supply of water
melons will not likely offset
tonnage from a reduced
cantaloupe and hi leydew
acreage.
With larger carryovers of
most important canned and
frozen vegetables, the in
dustry has planned sub
stantial cutbacks in 1976
processed vegetable
production. Average yields
from 14 percent less acreage
would result in materially
smaller packs of several
leading vegetables. Non
theless, total supplies are
expected to be ample.
The California tomato crop
may be large enough to
result in continued heavy
supplies of tomato products,

near year earlier
provided there are no
prolonged plant closings
because of labor
management disputes. It is
estimated that a shutdown
through the first week of
August may result in a loss
of 10 to 15 percent of the crop
in California.
Canned pea supplies may
again be too large for normal
expected use. However,
acreage cuts in sweet com
and snap beans promise
smaller packs and reduced
supplies for 1976-77. For
other canned vegetables -
beets, sauerkraut, and lima
beans - some further cuts
would be in line with recent
annual use. The total supply
of frozen vegetables in 1976-
77 promises to be smaller
than a year earlier.
The summer potato crop of
22.4 million cwt. is seven
percent larger than a year
ago. Both acreage and yields
are up, and even though the
crop is not large by historical
standards, it came on the
heels of larger than expected
spring supplies. This has
tended to keep prices under
some downward pressure.
Summer 1976 prices are not
showing typical seasonal
highs thus far. July stocks of
frozen potato products were
15 percent smaller than on
the same date in 1975 when
they were unusually large.
The first acreage estimates
of the important fall crop,
which accounts for about 85
per cent of annual output,
will be released on August

suggested moderately larger
plantings.
There will be a slightly
larger sweetpotato acreage
for harvest again this year.
The gain is largely in North
Carolina; Louisiana expects
to harvest 1,000 fewer acres.
Canning activity may not be
especially brisk, but it will
likely surpass the 1975
performance.
Dry bean acreage is up 1
percent this year. A larger
gain would put substantial
pressure on grower prices
since there will be another
relatively large carryover.
Foreign demand in 1975-76
was especially disap
pointing, and the industry
hopes for at least a
resumption of average
movement out of the country
in the 1976-77 season.
In a special article “Home
Grown Fruits and
Vegetables and Their Uses,”
Evelyn Kaitz and Jon
Weimer report on a home
gardening survey. The
survey indicated a slight but
steady increase in home
gardening over the last 3
years. Predominant reasons
given by respondents for
home gardening were a taste
preference for home grown
fruits and vegetables, a
desire to save money, and an
interest in gardening as a
hobby. Tomatoes are the
most popular vegetable for
growing and canning; beans
are the most popular for
freezing.
