Brazil would like to lead its
agricultural position on a
similar path, and is in fact
doing it if trade and por
duction figures are any in
dication. The government
encourages and invites
settlers to come into the
hinterland. The country’s
predicament is that it has a
population of 120 million
which is primarily con
centrated along the coast,
when there is still a lot of
land left to settle further
inland.
Taking charge of the
initiative to develop rural
Brazil is an organization
known as INCRA. They
arranged mericans to come
to Brazil and for Brazilians
to come to the United States.

drive for greater produc

education during non
working hours. Promising
youngsters have their
educational expenses paid
for by the Brazilian
government so long as their
grades are worthy of the
stipendium.
Brazil’s climate and
topography are suited for
high agricultural produc
tivity, the Pennsylvanians
reported. According to Ruth,
some regions, especially the
southern portion of Brazil,
are very much like
southeastern Pennsylvania.
Some of these areas are
already very advanced, and
the North Americans
acknolwedge having learned
as much from the Brazilians
as what Brazilians might be
learning from them.
The common consensus is -
whether you talk to a
Brazilian or Pennsylvanian
who has visited Brazil - that
there is an awful lot of un
tapped farming potential in
Brazil.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Cool weather in May delayed
marketing of early har
vested fruit this year. Light
rains in California also
slowed ripening and harvest.
It now looks as if this sum
mer’s harvest of early
season deciduous fruit
(excluding dried prunes)
will be 1 percent smaller
than last season’s but 3
percent larger than in 1975.
Supplies of freestone
peaches will be slightly
above last year’s crop in
most producing areas.
Earlier forecasts for South
Carolina and Georgia were
reduced because of dry
weather in May. The
production of clingstone
peaches in California is
expected to total 3 per cent
above the 1976 crop. The
West Coast Bartlett pear
crop will be down, as will
apricots. Nectarines will be
down from last year’s record
Herd ratings changed in Angus program
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - In- For breeders enrolled in
dividual rating, formerly the the Individual Rating
classification program of the Program prior to the June
American Angus board meeting, their herds
Association, has been ter
minated as a part of the
A.H.I.R. Program and is
now incorporated into a herd
analysis program on a daily
fee basis. 'The decision
followed discussion at the
recent June meeting of the
Association board of
directors.
Under the provisions of the
new program. Individual
Rating, or the Classification
Program as some breeders
know it, will still be an op

analysis at a cost of $l5O a
day, or any portion thereof,
plus expenses. Included in

Even with the January
freeze in Florida, estimated
total production of this
season’s citrus crop will still
be record large. The June 1
citrus crop is forecast at 15.5
million tons, 5 per cent above
1975-76. The increase is
shared by most of the citrus
crops. Because of the
Florida freeze, a sub
stantially larger quantity of
citrus was harvested early in
the season. Thus, remaining
supplies of most citrus are
moderately less than last
year.
