The Coray J. Smith Family VA 3-2189 INSURANCE Announces WILKES-BARRE, PA. ¢ MAY 1, 1956 | Good Prospects For 1956 Crops ‘Hard Winter Aided ~ General Outlook In spite of cold weather during March and April, condition of win- ter wheat sown last fall on Penn- sylvania farms is reported at 85 per cent of normal. This is only one point below a year earier but three points under the 10-year 1945-54 average, ac- cording to Federal-State surveys. Keystone State farmers have re- duced their wheat acreages for har- vest this coming summer. The April 1 production estimate is for only 14.4 million bushels compared with 16.5 million harvested in 1955 and the average of 19.8 million bushels. Winter came to an end with more moisture in. the ground than at its start. Pasture condition was re- ported at 84 per cent on April 1, one point higher than last year and one point above the 10-year aver- age. Condition of rye on April 1 was 84 per cent, down three points from a year ago. . Fruit Prospects Good Preliminary reports from Penn- sylvania fruit sections indicate that cold weather kept fruit trees dor- mant. Only slight signs of growth development appeared on April 1. A heavy set of fruit buds was re- ported at that date. Unless sudden cold snaps damage tender growth the season’s prospects appeared highly favorable, the survey showed. Heavy snowfalls and low tem- peratures during March failed to af- fect winter grains to any great ex- tent, the Department said. Prospects were largely maintained or improv- ed over much of the State as most fields were protected by dormancy or by snow cover preceding the coming of severe cold weather the latter part of March. Some fields of wheat in the south central and southeastern sections which had greened before the March cold wave struck turned brown and growth was retarded. But rising temperatures and April showers are expecgted to ‘overcome this situa- tion, officials pointed out. Much more serious, and of con- siderable concern to farmers on April 1 was the extent of undeterm- ined freeze damage which may have occurred to late seedings last fall.

Frail, president, has announced. This sum was set by United Cere- bral Palsy, he said, following a sur- vey of the minimum needed to carry on UCP’s present year-round serv- ices to local ICerebral Palsied chil- dren and adults. The “infancy through adulthood” program of United [Cerebral Palsy includes treatment and therapy of all age groups, special education, job placement, recreation, transpor- tation, research, and guidance. Theme of the drive will be, “Help today and hope tomorrow,” Frail stated. : Frail stressed that cerebral palsy is not limited to any age group. It is caused by damage to brain cells, and may happen to anyone, at any time, before, during, or after birth. United Cerebral Palsy was organ- ized in Wyoming Valley several years ago to attack the problem, he said, on a community-wide, over- all basis. Nationwide goal of United Cere- bral Palsy, of which the local group is an affiliate, is $10,000,000 Frail said. There are over 550,000 cere- bral palsied in the United States. In addition, cerebral palsy strikes | . 10,000 new homes every year. Frail explained that about 75 per cent of all money raised locally in the Campaign will be used by Unit- ed |Cerebral Palsy for local services in Luzerne ‘County, while the re- mainder will help support national programs such as medical research and training of personnel.
