The ability of government
to increase citizen par
ticipation in the decision
making process has more to
do with conveying a sense of
the importance of par
ticipation to the citizen
rather than making it more
convenient.

fruit situation
UNIVERSITY PARK -
The winter so far has been
good for prospects of ex
cellent fruit crops, said Dr.
C. Marshall Ritter, Ex
tension pomologist, Penn
State.
Some of the problems of
the last growing season
included cool, cloudy, and
rainy weather conditions,
with the summer being
several degrees cooler than
normal.
Cherries were generally
small.
The peach crop was less
than expected, but quality
was high, even though the
total crop was less than
average.
Last year was an excellent
year for growing
strawberries. However, in
some areas, production was
down, he noted.
The production of
blackberries and other
brambles was average. Lack
of good fertilization and'
fundamental pruning
practices were causes for
low production in many
instances.
Thorough renovation of
the strawberry planting
must be practiced if good
strawberry crops are to be
realized.
Pear production in Penn
sylvania was troubled by
worse than usual fire-blight.
Fire-blight reached
epidemic proportions with
the help of a cool, wet,
summer. Pear production
was about average, but 1979
quality was not good.
Pennsylvania apple or
chards produced a huge
crop, reports Ritter,

CONTRACTS!
We still have plenty of waxy-seed
available for the grain farmers and also
Waxy Hybrids are great for cattle and
hog feeders. In this area they should
plant WAXY—NIAIZ Hybrid seed-corn?
College feeding trials show 10% better
gains on 7% less corn with WAXY fed to
cattle. We have several WAXY-MAIZ
Hybrids for this area. They yield, the
same as yellow dent corn, but have
higher energy starch. Hogs gain better
and get to market faster on WAXY
MAIZ. We can show you how o boost
cattle and hog feeding profits.

however, size was not as
good as average. Trees were
full of apples which didn’t
“pick out” as expected.
The Golden Delicious crop
was rusty showing poor
color. But there was nothing
growers could have done
about this, Ritter adds.
Orchardists are doing a
better job of training their
trees than they were ten
years ago, Ritter said.
During the past five years,
our programs in pest
management have given
growers a greater com
prehension of how spray
programs can help to grow
better crops, he added.
Based on leaf analyses, it
appears that we are still
applying too much nitrogen
for top quality frmt
production, he said. In
creasing emphasis on levels
of the plant nutrients has
improved the firmness and
keeping qualities of fruit.
Fruit trees went into this
past fall in good shape, and
there are no major problems
so far this winter. The warm
fall spell came too early to
be of any effect on flower
buds, explained Ritter.
The trees are m good
shape so far, and barring
undue cold snaps or ex
tremely warm weather
during the next few months,
they have the flower buds to
produce another good crop of
fruit in 1980, he noted.
Orchardists are con
centrating their plantings.
More trees per acre are
planted now than was the
practice 10 years ago.
Growers now should start
planting their new orchard
establishments two or three
years before they actually
set the young trees. Planning
mvolves getting the old trees
out, site selection for new
plantings, land renovation
and ordering new trees.
Soil separation before the
new trees are planted is
important to assure that the
new fruit trees get off to a
good start, urges Ritter.
