Peach Market
Wednesday, August 29
Report supplied by PDA
Demand for peaches during the
past week has been very good to
excellent. Early L' the period,
supply was running close to
demand and by week-end, supplies
began to drop, due to cool nights
during the period. Today, supplies
are running far behind demand.
There are peaches available
throughout the state and buyers
are searching for these. Prices
have been continuing to increase
as supply has been dropping.
Growers report adequate supplies
of Cresthaven and Redskins, which
are now beginning to mature.
Picking will begin on these
varieties toward week-end, thus
insuring adequate supplies for next
week.
Prices quoted are wholesale,
truckload, f.o.b. at the orchard or
packing house in Adams, Berks,
Franklin, Snyder and York
Counties.

BIG FARM PCfWER AND EQUIPMENT ,
STEP UP TO A STEIGER
A Bearcat
Costs
You Less.
The actual price
you pay is less than
some two-wheel
drives with front
wheel-assist. They
pretend to give you
four-wheel power,
but they cannot
match in either the
power output at
the drawbar or the
tractive ability to •
get work done. You * v
get more for your dollars with a Bearcat
right from the start.
Helps You
Farm Better.
When you put a Bearcat in the field you
start saving again, because of less soil
compaction than a front-wheel-assist,
ability to get in the field sooner and in
Raw Power. For example, the CM-225
delivers an amazing 195 Horsepower
to the drawbar. So you’ve got 225
engine horses with almost 200 in the
back actually doing the work. No two
wheeler can match that.

WEEKLY 51-CATTLE-Fed by
an advancing wholesale beef trade
and a good buyer demand, fed
cattle prices ranged 50-75 C higher
through midweek. Some market
interests took an optimistic stance
vis-a-vis longer term stability in
live price levels and seemed
willing to accure larger than usual
inventories. Overall finish still ran
mediocre, with the normal
pressure and discounts applied on
lightweight, “short-fed” kinds.
Cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Bulls 1.00
lower.
Estimated five day receipts
7100; actuals last week 7412 and a
year ago 9963. Steers comprised 41
PCT of the week’s receipts, heifers
42 PCT, cows 12 PCT, feeder 4
PCT.
SLAUGHTER STEERS: At the
close, two loads choice 2-3 near

Saves On Fuel.
When you co. ne in
at the end of the day
and drive up to the
diesel pump, you’ll
find your Bearcat
does more with
every gallon of fuel
than you "bought
was possible.
Efficiency means
working quality
built-in Steiger
quality that assures
you your Bearcat will
be dependable. So
the work gets done when it needs to be
done. And when it comes to the critical
work of getting a crop in on time, you
can’t beat Steiger Power.
See For Yourself
Compare the BEARCAT to two
wheel-drives and to other four-wheel
drives. Look at the difference in the
ruggedness and in the working power
you get. Check out the Bearcat price.
