—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 29,1978 130 Maryland research field day set for August 24 COLLEGE PARK, Md. - With a timely rainfall in the next week or so, field crops should be looking good for the eleventh annual University of Maryland crops and soils research field day on the Eastern Shore. The event is scheduled August 24 at the Wye Institute in southern Queen Annes county. As in past years, persons attending the field day will have an opportunity to see research plots involving agronomic and horticultural crops, turfgrass, and woodlot management. There will also be a separate' program of special interest to women. Registration for field day activities will begin at 8:30 a.m. near the. Wye Institute' headquarters office, with wagon-train tours running every 15 minutes from 9 to 11 a.m. Lunch and a short af ternoon program are also on tap. This will be followed by possible machinery demonstrations and a Pa. cherry production up HARRISBURG - Penn sylvania Secretary of Agriculture Kent Shelhamer has said tart cherry production in the state is estimated at five million pounds, up 1.8 million pounds or 56 per cent from the small 1977 crop of 3.2 million pounds. Quoting a report by the Pennsylvania Crop Reporting Service, the Secretary said the 1978 crop will still be down 2.6 million pounds from the 1976 crop. The average date of full bloom for the state’s tart cherry trees was May 6 compared to April 19 in 1977. In early May frost damage occurred, severely lowering potential production. The extent of damage was highly variable within localities and even within the same orchard. In some orchards cherries set as much as five days apart on the same tree. Harvest was underway by July 5 and was virtually complete by July 16. Shelhamer also said the state’s sweet cherry production estimate for this year is 430 tons, up 23 per cent from 1977. The average date of full bloom statewide was May 6 compared to April 16 in 1977. Some or- (2) BANKRUPTCY SALES FORESTER FIRE PREVENTION, INC & OTHERS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2 - At 1:00 P.M.

Com research work in- chards in the south central production area were hit by frost, lowering prospective production. Prospective production of tart cherries in the United States is forecast at 174 million pounds for 1978. This is down 17 per cent from last season’s total but 19 per cent greater than the small crop in 1976. Sweet cherry production m the United States is expected to total 137 thousand tons, down seven per cent from last season and 21 per cent less than the 1976 total and the lowest since 1972. Frosts across the United States caused the decrease in production of both cherry crops this year.
