C3B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 2,1980 Large fruit supplies, moderate prices seen LANCASTER Suppbes of fresh fruit this summer will be large. USDA forecasts indicate this summer’s production of early harvested noncitrus fruit (excluding dried prunes) will be slightly below last year’s very large crops In addition, remaining supplies of fresh citrus fruit are sharply larger than a year ago. Thus, large supplies combined with a weak economy will moderate the expected seasonal increases in grower prices for fresh and processing fruit and in retail prices for fresh fruits. Stocks of processed fruit are generally above a year ago, although smaller packs for a few crops and higher marketing costs likely will keep retail prices this summer above a year ago Supplies of freestone peaches will be down only one percent from 1979, as large crops in northern states offset sharply smaller crops from the nine southern states A 19 percent decline in peach production is in dicated for both South Carolina and Georgia because of adverse weather this spring Production of clingstone peaches in California is expected to total four percent below the 1979 crop Altogether, total U S peach production will be three percent smaller than last year’s large crop So far this year, the index of grower prices for fresh and processing fruit has averaged almost 13 percent lower than last year As the supply of citrus fruits, apples, and strawberries declines during the summer, the index will advance but will still Fulton Grange meetings OAKRYN - Fulton Grange No. 66 held their annual picnic on the Grange Hall grounds Monday evening with a large at tendance Quoits, horseshoe pitching, volleyball, and other games were enjoyed by all.

LEAH S. CROUSE Taneytown, Md summer fruit and a weakening general economy, the rate of in crease in retail prices for fresh fruit is expected to slacken somewhat Reflecting the larger 1979 pack, stocks of most major canned fruits on June 1 were sharply larger than last year’s depleted levels Nevertheless, smaller crops—particularly of clingstone peaches and apricots—have led to grower-packer agreements ensuring higher grower prices this year The 1980 canned fruit pack, par ticularly of peaches and fruit cocktail, will be smaller; however, with inventories up, the total supply of canned fruit for the coming marketing year will still be ample Even with ample supplies, prices of canned fruit are expected to remain above year-ago levels, reflecting higher costs of raw products, sugar, processing, and distribution In response to good demand, wholesale prices of frozen strawberries have been considerably higher than a year ago The smaller domestic pack in prospect and reduce imports from Mexico will further strengthen prices of frozen strawberries Current supplies of dried fruit are ample and prices are lower than last year BRED GILT SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1980 Located 8 miles north of Myerstown on Rt 501 & 1 mile South of U.S. 22 on Rt. 501 at Bethel, Pa.
