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.

Cerebral Palsy
Drive In May
Goal Of $20,000
For Luzerne County
United Cerebral Palsy Association
of Wyoming Valley will conduct its
1956 campaign May 1-31 for $20,000
to provide vitally needed treatment,
care and vocational education for
all age groups of Luzerne County's
Cerebral Palsied, Joseph P. 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.
Stanley C. Hope, of New York,
President of Esso Standard Oil Co.
is National Campaign Chairman for
1956. Movie [Star, Bob Hope, con-
tinues to be National Life Chairman.
