“Among the eight groups of hogs

will be dropped in from four to
eight times a day.
“This system is being used in
Europe and the more frequent
feeding of smaller amounts should
increase feed conversion from
three to five-tenths.”
The first pigs are scheduled to be

When fully operational, 15,000 or

September report confirms record corn crop
UNIVERSITY PARK - The
first estimate of the 1962 corn crop,
released in August, projected a
record crop of 8.32 billion bushels.
H. Louis Moore, Penn State Ex
tension agricultural economist
said that many analysts were
surprised that the figure was
projected that high.
Tjie second estimate released on
Sept. 10 left the estimate un
changed at 8.32 billion bushels.
There was surprise that the
estimate wasn’t higher since
growing conditions seemed to
improve during August through
most of the com producing states.
Subsequent reports before
completion of harvest may push
ballots now,” he reports. trom his
Washington D.C. office.
The reason for the lengthy wait
between the tmal vote and the
outcome announcement is due to
the need to verify each ballot with

the estimate higher. Moore said
that in seven of the last ten years
the final harvest exceeded the crop
estimate made in August.
Com supplies will be even more
burdensome than earlier expected
with another large crop. The
pressures of finding storage and
markets at harvest will make this
an unpleaant harvest season for
most corn growers. Prices have
been down and are likely to con
tinue at depressed levels through
the harvest season.
Hie price pressures of a bumper
harvest have been even more
severe considering the sharp in
crease in carryover supplies and
the drop in exports. Exports in the
each eligible farm, he explains.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 2,1982—A39
Unless domestic use and exports
increase substantially in the
months ahead, the carryover of
corn could be a record 2.8 billion
bushels on Sept. 30, 1963 the
equivalent of the total crop
produced in 1955.
Com production has grown
rapidly in the last two decades.
The increased production has not
come from bringing substantially
more acres under cultivation but
from sharp increases in yield per
acre. The yield per acre in 1982
may exceed 114 bushels compared
to less than 60 bushels per acre on
the national average in the early
1960'5.
Though some price recovery
may occur after harvest, the
burdensome carryover of com
may keep downward pressure on
price at least until planting time
next year, Moore reports.

will probably not exceed 2 billion

corn when the marketing year
begins on October 1 will be about 2

over the preceding year.
During the 1981*62
seasons, archers
reported harvesting a
record 6,070 Penn
sylvania deer, and the
Keystone state again
has a large herd of
whitetails this year.
There will be 24
hunting days during the
regular statewide ar
chery deer season which
doses Friday, Oct. 29.
An extended four-day
season will run from
Dec. 15-18. Hunting
hours are from one half
hour before sunrise until
sunet. Sunday hunting is
prohibited.
Use of bow and arrow
is also permitted during
the regular antlered and
antlerless seasons in
November and
December.
Archers may take one
deer of either sex,
regardless of size,
during the October
season. If a deer is
tagged during the ar
chery season, the hunter
is not permitted to take
another whitetail during
the regular gunning
season.
In addition to a
regular resident or
nonresident hunting
license, an archery
license is required to
hunt deer with bow and
arrow during the ar
chery seasons. Archery
licenses are available at
$2.20 each from county
treasurers, all issuing
agents, or by mail from
