1959 when repeated freezes resulted in considerable acreage abandonment. Supplies
Will continue light during the Winter months. late November and early December
cold weather reduced yields in the PaJm Beach-Pompano area but quality has im-
proved materiall with the favorable late December weather. Supplies "Will be
light until mid-February when increased volUUle is expected. Dade County production
Will furnish light volume until mid-January With heav;ler supplies af't.erwards.
Young fields look good here and in the Fort Myer&-DDmol~e-DeviltsGarden area.
~: The acreage of early spri?3 onions in south Texas is estimated at
28,500 acres tor harvest in 1960. This is 14 percent below the 1959
harvested acreage and 20 percent under average. The decrease from last year oceurred primarily in the Coastal Bend. Most of this acrease was seeded in November aaaewhat later than usual. Stands are uneven but plants are malting good progress.
fJrowing conditions have been favorable and no insects or diseases are evident. A8Dlall acreage in the Lower Valley was seeded in August but planting was not active until early October. More than the usual acreage was transplanted in No-
vember. Seeding of the late crop continued into December. Onions in this area

Growers t reported intentions to plant late spring onions indicate 11,650
acres Will be harvested in 1960. It these intentions materialize, the 1960 crop I'
Will CeDe trail an acreage 6 percent below last year and 21 percent less than average. All States except California expect to have a smaller acreage than in
1959. Transplanting in Georgia has' been cOJ:ll)leted and the crop is in gobel condi" tion. In north Texas, fields have been prepared and transplanting was expected
to start in ear~ January. ,Th~'acreage i8 26 percent below l:ast year. Planting
of the Arizona acreage, 'which is 20 percent less than 1959; has been completed. The larger acreage in the Imperial Valley i8 pr1mariJ responsible for the -19 '.
percent increase in the california acreage. Minor changes occurred in other onion producing areas. Most of the crop has been planted. December rains' were:
in very beneficial to the Stockton crop which had been suffering from lack of mois-
t~. Earliest harvest from the Desert areas is 'expected April.
WATEJHUt.Ie: Based on growers' reported intentions to plant, Florida and Cali'.'
.
fornia expect to have 80,800 acres of ~te~lons tor lAte spring
harvest. This is about the same as the acreage harvested in 1959 but 10, percent
below average. Each State expects to have nearJ the same acreage for harvest as
in 1959. In Florida's Fort Myers-Immokalee-Devi1' s Garden area, earJ plantings
are up and groWing well. Some planting is still being done. Planting has
started in central Florida and is becoming active. In north Florida land
preparation is still in progress. In the desert valleys of California, planting
is now getting underway.

1959 COMMERC'IAL BROILERS PRODUCTioN IN 22 STATES
I', '
The preliminary estimate of commercial broil~'~ 'production dudng 1959 in
22 import::.nt :p,roducing States covered by weekly chick placement,report's totaled
1,566,256,000 birds--up 4 percent from the number produced in 1958 and the
largest number of record for th,ese States. Of the 22 States 9 produce,d fewer
broilers than in 1958, but increase,s in the other States and particularly the sharp
increas~sin Georgia. Alabama~ ,ississippi and Arkansas resulted in an over-all
increase of about 66 million birds., These 22 States produced 90 percent 6f the
Nation's broilers iIi 1958.
'
,
Georgia, the leading state" produced 303,031,000 birds in 1959, followed
by Arkansas with 163,997,000; Alabama with 154, 221, 000; North Carolina with
137,400,00-0; Texas with 109,058,000;
. .'.
and
Mississippi
with
107',469., 000.

-
The average price receiv~d for the 1~59 production was 15.9 cents per
pound live weight--2. 4 cents' Pt:r pound less than the average,price received per
P9und in 1958. Primarily because of the lower price received for.birds produced
in 1959, the gross income from production in 1959 was, 8 per'cent less than the
gross income from production in 1958. Gross income from the production' of ;
broilers in ,the 22 States tot~led $821,931,000, compares with $890,,974, 000 in
1958; Th'e' average weight per bird produced averaged 3.3 pounds -in 1959, com"
pared with 3.2 pounds in 1958.

~ CORn: The winter crop was heavily dam&l3ed by freezina temperatures 1n Flor1da durinc the period January 20.25. Production is now forecast
at 111,000 cwt ., which 1s leiS than halt the January 1 estimate. This 1s also

CUCtHlERS: 1lorida'. winter crop i. nov torecast at '78,000 ewt., uear~ three.
tourths more than last.: 1ear 's production but 40 percent belov
average. Freezing veatber Januar,y.\ f!O-25 resulted in heavy damage. Production during the remain4er at the winter;, . . .on will be very light. Replanting il active in moat areas. In Dade CoUDt~ aDd tbe Fort My'ers-1JIIDokaJ.ee area, most of the crop was killed. The ...ll ac%leaGe which .umved is generally in poor con-
dition. Vines in the Pcaptp.no-PaJm Jeach area were ~ burned by the cold.
Yields are expected to be l1sht. .;
IE'!'l'UCE: Winter production i8 torecast at 8,959,000 cwt., 3 percent more than in 1959 and 4 pereent above, average. In Florida, there was SaDe 1088 at
production clue to the January 20-2~ treeze and _turins plants suttereel SaDe damage to outer leaves. YO\lD8 plAnt1Dl)S are aeneraJ4" malting fair recovery. Har-
vest in the IDwer Valley at, Texas 'was active during the first ba~ ot January but
was interrupted the latter part of the month by cool, damp weather. late plantings made good growth and were expected to be in volume production in early February. Liberal supplies V111l)e available 1;hrouah March. Yield and quality have been exceptionally good. Winter Garden plantings for late eeaaon harvest bave made good progress. Harvest Vill start the latter part of March and continue
throU(Jh April. In the Y\IIIL area at Arizona" sl:l.Bhtly more than ha~ of the acre-
ase had been harvested by FebruB.l7 1. Yields have generally been gooc1. Aa a
result ot co14, wet weather, heads are not developing proper~ in scae fields nov apprcw.ch1ns maturity. However, yield and quality are expected to improve as
weatber beCaDeS more favorable. In california's DD;perial Valley, co14 raill

plantinga are malting satisfactory progress with harvest expected to _tart 1n late
February..
e:iJ ONIONS: weather conditions during the first half of January were favorable tor
growth of the
~ crop in Texu. Intermittent cool, damp
weather during the last
~ month retarded development but thil can be
overccme with favorable weather. In the 1Dwer Valley, onions are in good condi-
tion. 1be small acreage at ear~ plant1nss is expected to turn1sh supplies be-
ginning about mid-Febnary. 110 da'maGe resulted from the tra.t and freezing tem-
peratures on January 21. The Coastal Bend crop was re1iarded by cold, wet
weather the last half at January" but plants througbO\%t the area have llood. color
and a healthy appearance. However, wet fields have resulted in a delay in getting
the crop cultivated. Harvest from this area is expected to get underway in earl
April. In the laredo area, onions are aking good progrea. although unfavorable
wa:ther the lut halt of January deJayed growth. Injury tran freezing tempera-
tures was light. There baa been no 1nsect ~ but blight bas shown up in a
few scattered fields. Growth 'in the Winter Garden and ~le Pus areas . . alao
.lawed by January weather but plants have a healthy appearanee except tor- a
little blight in a few t1elda.
TQtWJ!OES: Winter production in Florida, forecast at 864,000 cwt., i8 les. than halt of last year's production and about halt' of the average. As a
result of the freeZing weather January 20-25, supplies 0'1 tCIIIAtoes will be sharply reduced tor the remainder ot the winter season. In Dade County virt\l&ll1 all _ture or near mature tielda were severely da.ma8ed. wases are expected to total about one-halt of the production remain1nc for harvest at the time at the
freeze. Growen are attempting to rev!ve fields that show praDi.. of ~ure pro-
duction. S&lvase type harvest fran daJDaBed fields is about over and quality is
expected to improve. Probabl,y 1,500 to 2,000 aero. (mostly young plantings)
came througb with relativel,y light damage. Vine ripe acreage in the PcmpanoPalm Beach and IDIDokalee areas sust&1ned only l1m1ted c1amage. There was SaDe lei.

Of the ~rly ~ring crops for which forecasts have been made; production.of onions
and cauliflower are expected to be above last year while lettuce) I braecoli and asparagus are less. Growers' reported intentions point to' a 7 petce~t increase
~n the early ~er..~atennelonacreage and l percent less late summer onions.
February began with temperatvres wanner than normal over most of the count~y. As the month progressed, cold temperatures covered the Southern and Central States and by the end of the month temperatures mucn belo'" nonnaJ. h~d spread to nearly all areas of the Hation. At sometime during the month) freezing temperatures covered all vegetable producing areas except $outhern Florida and parts of California. This cold wave continued into ~~rly Mar'9~'
CABBAGE: . The preliminary estimate of 13) 700 ~9,re.s. fot .~~rly spring harvest this year is 11 percent less than the acreage harvested in 1959 and 30
percent below average. Acreage decreases in Louisiana and Mississippi account for most of the decline. In South Carolina and Georgia) stands are generally satisfactory'but'cold weather has retarded the crop. Harvest 'of early fields in Georgia is expected to begin about April 1. Continued cold "leather has s4.o,,,ed, '. growth of the Alabama crop. Cutting is expected to be undenlay by mid-MiLJ;,ch ....' , . The Mississippi crop is late and prospects are poor. Unfavorable Feb~uary " weather delayed setting plants in the field. n1ere was considerable'loss'of plants after transplanting due to freeZing weather. Louisiana cabbage is i~ pqor cQpdition. Cold) wet weather has retarded the crop and prevented adequate ,oultivation and fertilization. Some stands are thin and many plants are discolored.
". 'I .....
LETTUC8: Production in the ~_ly spr~ng States is forecast at 5)966)oooc,~.)
17 percent less than last year bu~'about equal to average. The smaller expected production than last year is primarily due to decreased acreage in Arizona and California. In California; harvest has started on early fields in Oxnard and Orange County areas. Supplies will increase during ~~rch) particularly at Oxnard. The crop in the Salinas-~~tsonville and Santa Maria areas has made good progress. Little production is expected from these areas before April 1. Arizona's early spring acreage is estimated at 24,500 acres this year compared With 30)000 acres in 1959. Harvest has started on earliest fields but cold weather has retarded grm~h and volume supplies are not expected until the latter part of March. Pianting in the AqUila-Salome area is ..finished. The ~')500 ac:re's ., this year compared with 6) 000 in 1959. In the Dona Ana al'ea of He'" Mexi co) winds d~ing February resulted in some loss in acreage. However) most of these fields have been replanted. The small Georgia crop is in generally good condition despite excessive rains and cold weather. Harvest is e}~ected to start about April 1. Cold) wet weather has retarded growth in IJorth and South Carolina. Little harvest is expected before mid-April.
~ffiTERMELONS: Cold weather has been unfavorable for Florida's spring crop. In south Florida) most acreage was replanted after the January cold
spell and is making satisfactory gro,~h. Oldest plantings have rW1ners 2 to 3 feet long and are in only fair condition. In central Florida) frost and winds during the third week in February mal~ heavy replanting necessary. Most acreage is just up or coming up. In north Florida, planting has been in progress since mid-February but very little acreage was up at the time of the last cold spell.
Based on growers' intentions to plant) 297)800 acres of watermelons are expected for early summer harvest this year. If these intentions are realized}
7 the 1960 acreage will be percent above that harvested last year and 2 percent
above average. The larger expected acreage this year is primarily due to a 17 percent increase in Texas. Planting is getting undeMlay in California. In Arizona) stands are good and the crop is generally progressing well although cold
weather has retarded gro,~h. In Texas considerable acreage had been planted in the Lower Valley and Falfurrias areas. Freezing weather on February 25 and 26 Wiped out most of this acreage. Replanting will be active as weather permits.
In the Pearsall-Pleasanton-Stockdale area and the Winter Garden; planting was ex-
pected to be active early in March. Seeding will start in south central areas about mid-March and the latter part of the month in east Texas. Freezing tem-
peratu~res continuing into Harch in other early summer States have delayed land preparation and planting.

GEORGIA: Based on current plans, the acreage planted and to be planted in Georgia.
for harvest in 1960 will be sli6htly less than a year ago for most
major crops. The decline can be attributed partly to increased participation in :he Conservation Reserve Program.
SMALLER CORN ACREAGE: Georgia farmers have indicated tlley plan to plant about
2,822,000 acres of corn this year. If current plans materialize, the 1960 acreage "nIl be 3 percent less than the 2,909,000 acres p:anted in 1959 and 5 percent less than the 1949-58 average of 2,984,000 acres.
!OBACCO ACREAGE UP: Due to abnormal abandonment in 1959, the acreage planted in
tobacco this year is expected to be slightly above last year I
r~rvested acreage. Indications point to a total of 71,300 acres this year compa~ V1th 70,200 acres harvested in 1959 and the 1949-58 average of 93,500 acres.
Ot>.TS ACREAGE DOWH: Seedings of winter and spring oats are down 22 percent to
429,000 acres. The current acreage is the lowest since 1933 when 4-<11,000 a.cres were planted and compares with 550,000 acres planted last year. and the :"949-56 a.erage of 745,000 acres.

nearly three-fourths. of the. total spri,.ng,productlon, 'exdud1ng melons. Spring ".":' vege..tClbl.es With, .subS'tantiatly less .production th~n last year are tomatoes and:.: le-ttuce."Smaller crops of broccolI. cab~age, peas; asparagus,: beets, cucumbers
and carrots are also forecast. These reductioDS are p'artly ,offset'by a.lar.ge .. ln... cre'c3se i.n celery, onions and snap be~ns and smaller increases"ln peppers, caul 1fJ()~r, .sweet corn, spinach, ~ggp'lant and shallots. In addition to those cro~s f,or:
which forecasts have been made, 'prel iminary acreage estimates have been prepared
fo~ ~"numbei of other spring crops. Acreage for these totaled 3 percent less th~ri;
I as t yea r.

'''armSr than normal temperatures prevailed,.in the vegetable p'roducing~area.s of Callforn~a and A~lzona during March. Elsewhere, the coJd wave which started in Fe'bruary-:~ontinued through most of ~ar'ch but.:finaHy gave way'as'warmer weathe . l1)()vecl .In 'from the' 'West CoaSt and pushed across" the Nat ion. Snow' covered the " northern h~lf of tne United States until mid-month and then began to recede .
SNAP BEANS: The acreage of mid-spring snap beans is estimated. at 16~00Qacres.: This is the same as last year but 18 perc~nt beloW. average. A moderate
increase In South. Carol ina was offset by sl ight .acreage.,qecllnes ,in Alabama. . .'
Mississippi and Loi,jisiana. Rains and cold weather during early March retarded . . .: planting and necessitated considerable replanti~g in the southeastern States. Many of the earl iest pla.nted fields had to be replanted. Som~ planting extended into April. As a whole, the c~op is late. A smali volume of beans will be harvested in I ate Ap r i 1'.
CABBAGE: Production\of the ea'r1y spring' crop is forecast at 1,785.000 cwt ., ..
.
3 percent below last year and 26 percent less than average. Inc;reas'es
from 1959 in Cal ifornia and South Carol ina were more than offset by decreases' rn
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Georgia's. production is expected to equal. '.':'
1959. In Cal ifornia, condition.' have be~n favorable and ~upplies' are expected.~o
continue at about present levels duriny most of April. EX,cessive rainfall and ' ..
cool weathe.r have 'retarded growth of the Georgia'crop'and little h'arvesting is. ex-.
pected before April 15. Cabbage ~as als~,peen s4bjected to adverse.spring weather
a in South Carolina, but grower~.ar~.. genenilly.anti'cipating good crop. Earliest.
l!larv~st. ~s.,expected in mid-April with bulk movetnent In early May. '~/armer weather
.
in Louisiana.. r~sulted in good growth the 'latter part of March, but heads are small:" ..
Movement -has been I ight but. shou1.d. reach good'vo'lume by mid-April; MississippI:
cabbage....is l'ate';' a'nd little production Is expected to move befo~e the 'second week ., .'
of May. Alabama cabbage was retarded by cool weather during March, but movement'" '.' ..
is expected to begin early In April.
LETTUCE: Early spring production is now forecast at 5,952,000 cwt..;:I'7,. pe'rcent .... ~,,' below last year,~t about average. Harvest of the California spring
crop Is und&rway In the Orange, San Diego and Oxnard districts, and will remain active during April. In the Santa Maria and Sal inas Valleys, most of the acreage has been planted for later harvest though some 1 ight cutting will get underway ~fter mid-April. Only a small commercial acreage has been planted in the TracyPatterson and Delano districts this year. The Arizona crop made good progress under favorable weather conditions. Volume shipments are expected during April, with movement tapering off during May and ending in mid-June. In New Mexico, lettuce growth progressed well during the last half of March, but much of the Dona Ana,'and Artesia acreage is later than usual. Harvest is expected to begin about May I with peak movement around May 20. Cold, wet weather prevailed in North and South Carol ina durin~the first three weeks in March, but favorable weather ~oward the end of the month brightened crop prospects. Cool weather also slewed growth of the Georgia crop and no harvesting Is expected before April 11.

ONIONS: The ac.rea-ge for late spring harvest In 1960 .15 estimated at IO,7~O, acres.
This is 13 percent les5 than the acreage harvested last year and 27 per-
cent below average. All States except tallfornl. have less acreage than last year
with Texas showing the greatest decrease. 1 In california, pulling of earliest
onions (white) got underway late In March in the Imper'al Valley but movement will
be light until harvest of the yellow onions gets underway after. April 10. The ,.... ,
crop is In good condition a~d g~d,y'elds ,arce expected. A~'~lythe, ~h8..crop is in

United'State.s: Despite the fact that the 1960 crop season is off to a slow start,
:
winter wheat prospects have improved since December in the heavy
producing Central and Southern Great Plains. A cold, stormy March retarded field-
work east ot the Rocky Mountains, but open weather in the Far West permitted
seasonal progress. Citrus frUit prospects declined moderately during March with
smaller crops indicated for oranges and grapefruit. Southern states expect a
good peach crop. Spring vegetable production is expected to be 5 percent less
than last year. A record tonnage of teed grains remained on farms on April 1,
but farm-stored food grains were about a fourth below a year earlier. Farm stocks
of soybeans were 14 percent above the tormer record ot April 1959.
A bacl~rd 1960 winter wheat crgP supplied With generous moisture began to shake off winter dormancy by April 1 with indications that it must now be recognized potentially as among the leading production years. Conditions on April 1 indicated a crop of 911 million bushels, 51 million bushels above the December 1 forecast, nearly 6 percent more than the 1959 crop and 11 percent above average. Increases since December have been largely confined to the Central and Southern Great Plains and more than offset reduced prospects in the South Atlantic and South Central States other than Kentucky, Oklahoma. and Texas.
Farm f10clts laid 5,543 million eggS during March--7 percent less than in March 1959. All regions of the country showed decreases except the South Atlantic and the \-Test. Decreases were 12 percent in the \oTest Harth central, 10 percent in the north Atlantic, 9 percent in the rast north central, and 1 percent in the South central. Estimates of egg production were up 4 percent in the Hest and 1 pereent in the S~uth Atlantic States. Egg production trom January through March vas 3 percent less than in the same period last year.
(Please turn page tor information on PEACBES-80Ul'HERH STATES)
PEAcm:S - SOuTHrmN STATES: Tl;le April 1 condition of peaches in the Southern
,
States was reported at 84 percent, the seme as a
year ago but' sharply above average. This is the fourth consecutive year in which
the April 1 condition has been 78 percent or higher. In South Carolina, Missis...
sippi, and wUisiana the condition was somewhat below last year, but the other
States show condition equal. to or better than on April 1, 1959. ,All Southern
States have p~Qspecys for a ~ood crop.
Throu(ylout the'Soutliern State's the croP had 'adequate chilling to, brea1~ dormancy. A,Sma.l+ amount' of bud kill occurred in South Carolina and Georgia. Cold weather in Febi"Uary arid March held h&ck bud development and lessened the danger
of late spring freeze damage to the bloan or set. In general, bloom is about
two ~eks late. than usual. By April 1 very few trees were in bloom in l~orth carolina ~s Sanc1hills' area, and the bloan was Just 'beginning' in the important Piedmont are~ 'of'Sou",h Carolina,', although it was approaching full bloom in South Carolina's Ridge, 8nd, 8andhills area. In Georgia, most Varieties did not reach full' bloom until about April i. Peaches in northern AlabanB had not bloomed by April '
1 but they were near full bloan in the central part of the State. In wUisiana and Texas t~e crOJ? ~s in ful;l bloan about April 1, but in OkJahcma only the
earli~'st Varieties were ,beginning to' blc.?om.,

Sweet'Corn:' The first forecast of the l!.!! spring crop places production at
695,000 cwt., 18 percent below the 1959 crop and 13 percent,'ess ~han
average~ A~reage' for harvest In each of the four States is under last YEi!ar ....Ha,rvest
has begun 'in ~he Coachella Valley of California and Is expected to be in volume by
mid-May. 'The crop in the Kern district is up and making good growth. Planting in
Galdwin County, Alabama was completed near the end ..of April, which is considerably
later than usual. Planting was also late in Georgia and stands are irregular. Har-
vest is expected to be two weeks later than normal. Recent cool weather has re-
tarded g~owth. , The Sout!:' Carol ina crop shows good stands. Rece.nt ,rains wer:e bene-

Onions: First forecast on late 'sprln~ onions ,Is for a production 9'f 2.544,000 cwt
10' percent less than last year but a fourth above average... ,Acreage. for harvest this year Is 13 percen.t below 1959. All States except Caf.lfornla )'iill har~. vest a smaller acreage this year than last. The crop is In generally good condition in California. Harvest continues In Imperial Valley and ha~ ~t~rted In th~ Diythe.
a Coachella, Kern and Fresno ar~as. Harvest in the Stockton district will get under-
w~y i,n late: May. Puillng'tias begun In few early field$ In Arizona .. 'Grow'lng condl'tio,ns hav'e been favorable but the crop is later than usual because of damp weath4;!r
during planting time. North Texas onions showed poor color until rains fell in,
late April. The crop Improved remarkably after these ral.ns. Harvest will start
in late May and reach volume by June 5-10:. Pulling In Durleson County .1,5 expected. to begin the .last half of June. In Georgia, ~at!:,er, conditions have been very fav,-
orable for harvesting' onions and inos't of the crop was expected to be pulled the first week of. May .. Many fields '~eveloped seeders, thus lowerlng.quality. ,The North Carolina crop ha~ begun to suffer from' lack of moisture but late April ral~s Improved prospects.
Toinatoes:' , Tomato' p't-oductlon iii the l.!!! spring States Is fore,cast at 703,.000 cwt
nearly one-third less than in 1959 and only about one-half average. South Carolina is the only State in the group to show a larger acreage than las~ year' and t~is' increase is more than offset by substantial decre~ses In Georgia and Texas. The acreage for harvest in Georgia Is only half of 1959, and Texas shows a
reduction of 20 percent.' In South Carolina, tomatoes are later than usuaJ because of delayed plantings,. Setting of plants In Georgia was very late this yea,:, ,and
harvest is expected to start about two weeks later than usual. Transplant'ng to
fields Is now complete in Copiah County, Mississippi. Rain Is badly"needed in this
area and plants here made very little growth. The louisiana crop was,.als~ ~ginn~n9 to need rain by the end of April. In east Texas, transplanting to fields ~gan . early' In April and i'n the Avery Section planting will continue Into May . Early areas will. begin harvest In mid-May. but the east Texas ~rop wlll not begin to move to mark~t ~efore early June with the,~arvest season extending Into July.
Wc,te'rmelons: The 'fl,rst forecast of late spring water~lons In Florida and
.
. California i~dlcates a crop of 7.409.000 cwt 15 percent above last
year, but 4 percent less than average. Florida'S crop Is late but harvest is In~ ,
creasing in the southern areas of the State. Dulk of the crop will be marketed. In , !'tay. In the 'cent'ral sectlons . melons are'now makin'g :g~od growth after. ao !"el.a~i~e1.y', slow start. A portion of the 'acreage is rn bloom and light harvest will start In

GEORGIA: The All Commodity Index of Price e . ed by Georgia Farmers ",as 244
percent of its 1910-14 average dur
he month ended r~y 15, 1960.
This was the same as one month earlier but is ive percent (14 points) belm.,
the mid-Hay Index of 258 percent in 1959. COmpared to the mid-April 1960
prices, an increase in price was recorded for corn; sorghum grain, cotton, soy-
beans) wholesale millt, and egc;s. Offsetting the increase were lower prices for
All hay; hogs, beef cattle, and calves.
Included in the Prices Received Table on the reverse side for the first
time are avsrage prices received by farmers for cows and steers and heifers. The separate price estimates for cows and steers and~fers are combined into the monthly Sta~e average price received for beef cattle on the basis of the estimated proportion of monthly sales in each category. ~e price estimates for cows include cull dairy cows sold for slaughter, but not dairy cows for herd replace-
ment. A small allovm.nce is made, where necessary, for bulls sold for slaU3hter.
UNITIJD STATLS: Duri~ the month ended Hay 15 the Index of Prices Received by Farmers declined four-tenths of one percent (1 point) to 241
percent of its 1910-14 average. Seasonally lm.,er prices for eggs, milk, lettuce, and tomatoes were primarily responsible for the declj,ne. Nearly offsetting were seasonally high prices for new-crop watermelons and cantaloups. Other important increases we;re reported for cabbage and apple~. The mid-I1ay index was about one percent below a year earlier.
The Index of Prices Paid by Farmers for Commodities and Services, including Interest, Taxes; and Farm Wage Rates declined for the first time since October
1959

TOUATOES:, late spring production is forecast at 736,000 c't'rt., 29 percent less than last year and 45 percent below average. Smaller acreages in
Georgia and Texas largely account for the decline in production from last year. In South carolina, tomatoes progressed. well during Hay. Harvest in the sOlJ,thern areas was expected to be general by June 11 and a week later' in other' sections. Some early planted fields in Georgia were ready for harvest by the end of May and the tomatoes were of good quality but small in size. On June 1, rains were needed in most areas. l1ississippi's harvest will start by mid-June. In louisiana, the crop is in good condltion, although later than usual.

~verage. In SoUth Florida, harvest is past peak at Dmnokalee but Will be most ~ctive June 1-15 in other sections. In G:entral Florida, drouth conditions are pecoming critical in some unirrigated fields and the crop is irregular. Harvest has started and. will become more active about mid-June. Dry weather in north ~nd northwest Florida was also affecting the crop adversely and becoming critiCal
~n some localities. Light harvest :was expected the week of June 6, becoming
general late in the month. In California's Desert areas, cool weather during the last half of !ifay retarded growth, but the crop is in good condition. Har/est in the Imperial Valley started in late May and will expand rapidly during early June ~nd continue through most of the month. At Blythe, harvest got underway in early June and will continue 'into July.

In later areas of ~outh Texas--Stockdale, locldlart, Luling and Hempstead-harvest Will start the . 'Week of June 20. Picking Will begin in central'and east Texas counties the last week in June. Supplies Will be in volume in early July and continue into August. In Arizona, cool weather has slowed maturity. However, melons are developing good size. Harvest is expected to be underway by mid-June. The california crop is making good progress although slowed by cool temperatures in late ~.ay. Picking will get underway in late June in the Wheeler Ridge area and about July 1 in Kingsburg.

June 13, ~ 1960
General Crop Report for Georgia
As 'of June 1, 1960
The condition of ,young growil~ crops in many localities of'the State Was beginning to decline on June 1 due to a short soil moisture supply. DuriIlG the last half of Uay, most o~ the rain occurring consisted of scattered local sho'olers. The driest areas are located in the central, west-central and northwestern sec-
tions of the State.
During the first two weelcs of Hay; unseasonably cool '\-reather retarded the growth of yoUl'16 crops. Farmers experienced considerable difficulty in obtaining good stands, especially of corn and cotton. Considerable acreage of these two crops were replanted. Following the unseasonably cool weather, the temperatUre ,ms generally favorable for crop growth.
The open "re~ther that prevailed during the last half of Hay was favorable
for crop cultivation and side dressing activities. Statewide, most crops were
well cul~ivated and generally free of weeds and grasses. Harvest of small grains
was unde~y on June 1.
'
PEACH PROSPI:C'I'S D1PROW: Georgia's 1960 peach crop is forecast ,at 3,500,000 bushels, or 3 percent above last year' 8 crop. The
estimate of production includes both farm and commercial peaches. If .current prospects are realized, this year's crop Will be the third largest in the last 10 years, being exceeded by the 1951 crop of 3,975,000 bushels, and the 1958 crop of 4,000,000 bushels. Based on past relationship between inspected shipments and total production which has varied considerably, inspected rail and truck movement from this year's crop could vary from 4,200 to 5,700 car equivalents. This compares with inspected shipments of 5,387 equivalent cars last year.
Picking started th~ last week of liJay in extreme South Georgia.
wm:AT PRODUC'I'ION DOWN: Ge~rl3ia'S 1960 wheat crop is e'xpected to be 143,,000 bushels
,below last year's crop. Wheat conditions on June 1
pointed to a crop of 2,112,000 bushels compared with production' in 1959 of
2,255,000 bushels, andthe 10-year (1949-58) average' prod~ction of 2,035,000
bushe~. The decline from last ,year is' due to a smaller' acreage in wheat this
year. The yield per acre forecast at 22.0 bushels is' 1.5 bushelS above the 1959
yield of 20.5 bushels per acre, and would be the second higheat'6f record for the
State. The record high yield ,-laS obtained in ,1958 when 23.0 bushels per acre
was produced.
. ., "
LARGI: EGG PRODt1.C'I'ION: ,Hens on Georgia farms laid an est1ina.teq '156 milliol?- eggs
,
. " during IiJay'1960, an all-time record 'high., This .is ,13, '
perce~t more than. the 138 million eggs produced during IiJay '19.59 ,a~ i~ 6 :p~rcent
above the April 1960 production of 147 million elms. The average number of . , layers increasect' from 7,287,000 in l~y 1959 to 8,026,000 layers this yearI while:' the rate of JaY,advanced from 18.9 eg~s per layer to 19.4 eggs per layer. ", ',:
lULK PRODUCTION DOWN: Milk production in Georgia during r.1a.y is estimate'd at 103 million pounds, 2 million pounds below production in
Ma.y last year. Production during the current month was up seasonally from the 102 million pounds produced in April of this year.

Acreage harvested for seed is indicated at 5,000 compared with 7,000 last season and is only 15 percent of the 1949-58 average of 32,700 acres.
Yield per acr.e of 900 pounds is 100 pounds above the 1959 yield and is 14 per cen~,above the tO~yea~, ayerage yield of 788 pounds.
UNITED STATES: The 1960 production of lupine seed is forecast at 7,790,000 pounds. This is 22 percent less than the 1959 harvest of 10,050,000 pounds
and is the smallest production in 16 years. The prospective crop consists of 6.298,000 pounds of blue lupine and 1,492,000 pounds of sweet lupine. The comparative estimates for last uear are 8,737,000 of blue and 1,313,000 pounds of sweet lupine.
Wet weather last fall discouraged planting of lupine and helped accelerate the downtrend in use of lupine as a winter-cover crop. The total of 9.500 acres for seed harvest this year is 27 percent less than the 13,000 acres harvested In 1959 and only one-sixth of average. However, the decl ine In acreage was partly offset by good yields in Georgia. Weather conditions were favorable for harvesting this year's seed crop with a minimum of shattering. Consequently, the prospective national yield of 820 pounds per acre is above last year's yield of 773 pounds.
Carry-over of old lupine seed by farmers is estimated at 406.000 pounds and compares with 378.000 pounds a year earl ier and the average of 1,489,500 pounds. A report on the June 30, 1960 carry-over of old seed by dealers will be released on August 4, 1960.
Imports of lupine seed during the 10-month period ending April 30, 1960 totaled 2,981,700 pounds -- 2,945,100 of blue and 36,600 pounds of yellow lupine. All but 2,000 pounds of the total was imported from South Africa. The comparative total a year ago was 2,242,000 pounds. Imports during the past two seasons have ~en unusually large, and have tended to compensate for the relatively small domestic production. Imports in prior years were negl igible except for the 1950-51 season when the total was 1,522,000 pounds.

CRIMSON-CLOVER SEED FORECAST Crimson Clover Seed Production Up 93 Percent
UNIV~"

OF
G [ORGIA
~IJN24 SO' .
GEORGIA: ~Mather conditions were' very favorable during the harves ing sonapd losses from shattering were much less than usual. The 1 . ~a pr~-
duction of 2,730,000 pounds is 93 percent above the short 1.959 crop of 1,3 , pounds. The 17 ;ODO.. ac.res harvested Is 31 percent above last year but only 60 per~ cent of the 1949-59 average. Prospective yield per acre of 155 pounds Is the highest yield since 1952 'and is 50 pounds above last season. Production of re-
seeding varieties amounted to 2.451,000 pounds compared with 1,256,000 pounds. in 1959. .
UNITED STATES: . The 1960 production of crimson clover In the Southern States Is
'forecast at 10,895,000 pounds. Although this prospective crop re~.
presents an Increase of 55 percent over the relatively small 1959 outturn of . . '
7,027,000 pounds, it is 34 percent below average. Reseeding varieties, such as ..
Dixie . Autauga, Auburn and others are expected to total 6.481,000 pounds th.ls year
compared with 3,627,000 pounds last year.
.
A forecast of the late harvested crimson clover seed crop In Oregon is scheduled for release August 3 along with the forecast of ryegrass seed.
Several factors worked to reduce the acreage of crimson clover for seed In the South this year. Stands were thin as clover failed to reseed itself sufficiently last fall. The unusually cold winter, and cool dry spring weather retardeq vegetative growth. Some fields were over grazed. These factors reduced the acre-' age for seed by about one-fifth in South Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas. However. a good set of seed and the most favorable harvest weather in many years provided the incentive to harvest larger acreages than last year in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. The total of 68,000 acres for seed harvest this year Is 16 percent more than last year's 58,500 acres. but is 40 percent below average.
The exceptionally good harvest weather resulted In good yields of seed In the South. The Indicated yield of 160 pounds per acre for the six-State area compares with 120 pounds last year and the average of 142 pounds.
Carry-over of old crimson clover seed by growers in the Southern States, estimated at only 191,000 poundS, Is the smallest in 10 years and compares with 519,000 pounds a year earlier and the average of 487,600 pounds. A report on
June 30, 1960 stocks of dealers will be issued August 4.
Imports of crimson clover seed for the ten months ending April 30, 1960 totaled 2.516,500 pounds -- 1,102,000 from Great Britain (origin Hungary), 233.500 Hungary, 696,000 France and 485.000 Italy. Imports during the comparable period a year earlier totaled 2.921,000 pounds, and for the full year ending
June 30, 1959 imports totaled 2.954.000 pounds.

UNITED STATES p[G CROP REPORT - JUN~ 1960
The 196d spring pig crop tot~led 49,I03,odo head, down 16 percent fro~, the spring crop of 1959. according tb the Crop Reporting Board. The number of sows farrowing during the spring months totaled 7,060,000, 15 percent below the spring of 1959. The number of pigs saved'per.litter was 6,,95, ,compared with 7.07 for the spring, of 1959. Rep~rts on breeding intentions indicate that 5,889,000 sows wi 1I hrl"ow,between June' '1 and Oecember, ,f this year. This would be a drop, of 4 per cent fro~ th~ .6,13'8,000 .'!'ltters during the ,'faU months ,of 1959. If these' far row- ' Ing intentions 'are carried 'out and if"the number of, pigs saved per li,tte~'is,equal to t~e ave~age't- with 'arr all'owance for upward trend, the 1960 fall pig crop ,wi II be 4l.5,million"head; 'The combined 'spring ~nd fall pig crops for 1960 would the,n be 90.6 million head, down 11 percent from,the 1959 pi,g crop and,l percent be.low the 1949~58 ave ra9~ ~
The numbet of hogs :6 months old and older on farms and ranches June) was 7 percent less than 'the corresponding date'a year ago.
SPRING PIG CROP DOWN 16 PERCENT
,
,
,
The number of pi'gs saved in the spring of 1960 (December 1959 through May 1960' Is estimated at 49,103,000 head. This is 16 percent below the 1959 spring crop of 58,578,000 head, and 10 percent below the 1949-58 average.
Ttl~, 196Q spring' crpp was :smalle'r, than a year earl ier 'in all regions. A sharp decrea~e of 19 percent occurred in the'West North Central region. Other regions decreased as folloWs: North Atlantic,' 1 percent; East North Central, 12 percen~; South'Atlantic, Sout~ Central, and West, 'each 16 percent. Except for the South Atlantic region, the spring'pig crop was below the, 1949-58 average.
Sows farrowed in the spring of 1960 totaled 7,060,000 head, 15 percent less
than the previous spring and 13 percent below average. Fa~rpwings this spring were
down 3'percent from, breeding Intentions as reported last December, with all regions
showing fewer farrowings than intended. The percentages by regions that the 1960
spring sows farrowed were of 1959 compared with the intentions as reported last
December are as follows: North Atlantic, 100 percent now, 102 percent in December;
East North Central, 89 and 91; West North Central, 82 and 85; and 91; South Central, 87 and 91; and West, 86 and 93 percent.
South Atlantic, 86
.,
Pigs saved per 1itter this spring averaged 6.95 compared with 7.07 pigs saved last spring. The 10-year average is 6.76 pigs. ,All regions ~how a smaller number of pigs per litter than In 1959, but litter sizes were above t~e 1949-58 average.
1960 FALL INTENTIONS DOWN 4 PERCENT
.;
Repo~ts on breeding intentions indicate that 5,889,000 sows will farrow during June through November of 1960. If these intentions are real ized, the Dumber of sow farrowing this fall will be 4 percent less than farrowlngs during' the fall of 1959,
but 9 percent more than the average. Compared with last year, all regions showed decreases in the number of sows intended for fall farrowing. The largest percent decrease is reported in the South Atlantic which is down 9 percent. The South
Central and the West each show an 8-percent decrease. The East North Central is down 5 percent, the North Atlantic down 3 percent, and the West North Central down 1 percent.
These changes from last year are based on breeding intentions reported by farmers about June 1.
If fall farrowing intentions material ize and the number of pigs saved per 1itter equals the average, with an allowance for upward trend, the 1960 fall pig
crop will be about 41,500,000 head. This would be 3 percent below 1959, but 14 per cent above the 10-year average. The co~bined plg.crop for 1960 would be about 90,603,000 head, II percent below last year, and 1 percent below average.

GENERAL 'CHOP REPonT AS OF JULY'l, 1960
, Growing conditions have been favorable during much of June in the southern half of the State. In west-central and northwest Georgia high temperatures and a lack of moi~ture have retarded crop growth. 'Pastures are very poor ip. some parts Of north GeoJ;'gia and in some cases farmers are,' haVing to feed hay to niilk cows.
r:xm:iJ:l:NT LEAF CROP: Flue-cured tobacco production in Georg1~ th~s y~ar' is ex-
pected to reach ,112, 000, OOOpounds; or seven percent more than production last year. This will be the largest crop since 1956 when " 128,040,000 pounds ..were produced, but it will still be fiye percent ~elow the 10-year aveI'13oge production of 111,556,000 pounds. The yield per acre th5.s season is forecast at a record high of 1,600 pounds compared with 1,520 pounds last. . year and the previous, record of 1,545 pounds produced in 1958. The acreage for harvest is estimated at 1,0,000 compared with ?g,OOO acres harvest'ed last year.,
conN up' FOUR Pi::ncr:NT; The 1960 corn crop is forecast at 85,536,000 bushels, 'an
'. increase of four percent from last year' s crop of ' . 81,900, 000 b~shels. If current, prospects are realized, this year's production , Will be very near the record 1958 production of' 86,752,000 bushels. The indicated yield per acre at 32.0 bushels u1l1 equal the previous recorQ. s~t in 1958., Both yield per acre and total production are, expected to be well above averag~.- The acreage for harvest is estimated at 2,163,000 acres, 'a decrease of four percent
from the 2,814,000 acres harvested last year. The largest acreage ever harvested
in the State was .in 1952.when 3,096,000 acres were harvested.
~~T Pi10DUCTION riowN~ 'Georgia's 1960 wheat crop is expected to be 41,000
i
bushels below the 1959 crop. Indications on July 1
pointed to a crop of 2,208,000 bushels compared With production last year of
~,255,OOO bushels, and the 10-year (1949-58) average of,2,035,OOO bushels. The
decline from last year is due to a smaller acreage in wheat this year. The yield
per acre forecast at 23.0 bushels is 2.0 bushels above the 1959 yield of 21.0 ,
bushels, and equals the previous record high Yield of 23.0. bushels obtained in
1958. .

GOOD ,PEACH CROP: Georgia "s 1960 total peach crop (including farm and commercial
production) is estimated at 3,500,000 bushels. Production
last year aIDO\.Ulted to 3,400,000 bushe ls Quality of the 1960 crop has been yery good to date put prices have been disappo~nt1ng. According to Federal-State Harket News Service, a total of 2,880 equivalent cars had been shipped through'
July l' compared ,nth 3,111 for the comparable date last year.
CO'ITON ACREAGE UP THRI:D PImCDNT: The 1960 acreage of cotton planted in Georgia
.
. is estimated at 695,000 acres, accprding to
the Georgia crop Heporting Service. This 'is an increase of' two' percent from the

..UN. ITED STATES -- GENERAL CROP' ImPORT AS OF JULY. 1. , 1960 '
The 1960 season bids for r~cognition as one of.the Nation's hig~est production years, in spite of a slow and backward planting season.' Winter wheat pr~uc tion wa~ p06sted.substantially during June by exceptionally favorable late maturing weather in the Central and Southern Plains. Total planted acreage of 333 million is 4.5 million acres less than last year. ,Harvested acreage is expected to total 323 million acres, slightly below last year, but higher than 1956, 1957, and 1958.
Prospects for "all crops" as' appraised by reporters for their localities, point to a favorable crop outlook for most areas of the Nation. Prospects were 'only fair over much of the South where relatively light ley and June rains followed a cool, wet planting season. Persistent cool, rainy weather has dampened hopes of an optimum outturn in parts of the upper 1-11ssissippi Valley, and much of the Central Western Mountain area is too dry for. good crop development.
Total feed grain tonnage seems likely to fall below last year's record as a smaller volume of ~ is in prospect and sorgnum plantings were lower than in 1959. However, oats production is moderately above last year, and barley shows a slight increaseover 1959. A 4.1 billion bU9hels corn crop is now expected, secon4 only to the record 1959 crop. The Nation's corn acreage dipped nearly 1 percent from last year's sharply expanded acreage, although plantings increased slightly in the Corn Belt. Barley production is expected to be slightly above 1959 with a higher yield on a smalier acreage. Sorghum acreage declined slightly from a year ago. Planting was Virtually finished by July 1, with the bullt of the ~cre~ge planted at about the usual time.
Soybean acreage is 5 percent above 1959 and only slightly below the record
acreage of 1958. Cotton was planted on a. 3-percent larger acreage than last year,
with largest increases in Alabama, "Arizona, and california. The acreage planted to peanuts is 4 percent below last year and nearly a fourth less than the 10-year fIoverage. Total tobacco production is forecast at 3 percent above last year, as prospective yields are only sliehtly below the all-time record of 1958 and acreage 1s nearly the same as last year.

GEORGIA: The All Commodity Index of Prices Received by Georgia farmers was 245 percent of its 1910-14 average during the month ended June 15,1960.
This was one point above a month earlier but 'it is four percent (10 points) below the mid-June Index of 255 percent in 1959. Compared v11 th mid-Hay 1960 prices, an increase in price was recorded for corn, all hay, hogs, and all chiqkens. Prices received for Wheat, oats, barley, sorghum grain, soybeans, cattle and calves, and eggs 'fere ~ll below a month earlier.
UNITED STATES: During the month ended June 15 the Index of Prices Received by Farmers dropped 2 percent (5 points) to 236 percent of i~s
1910-14 average. The decline was rather general with beef cattle, potatoes, eggs,
and most vegetables shomng the most. important price reductions. Fruit, on' the other hand, averaged higher than in I,ray. The mid-June index was the lowest sinGe February and two and a half percent below a'year earlier.
The Index of Prices Paid for Commodities, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates declined nearly 1 percent during the month to 299. This ,~s the largest
decline in any single month since December 1955. Nevertheless, the June index recorded a new high for the month, about a third of one percent above a year ago.
The decline in farmers' cost rates was not as great, however, as in farm product prices. Consequently, the Parity Ratio at 79.w-as 1 percent under Xf;ay and 2 percent under a year earlier:

VEGETABLE CROP REPORT - JULY I, 1960
dEORGiA: A very shor~ harvesting season was real ized on most of the early and mid-spring vegetable crops caused mainly by lateness of planting and
lack of moisture. Harvests of watermelons, cantaloups, and tomatoes, were at
the I r peak a,:,ound Ju Iy I' in sou the rn a reas and beg inn ing to move in vo Iume from
central areas. Late plantings of these crops are expected to furnish supplies until-late July, j'f weather conditions are favorable. ,Light harvesting of summer ve~etables in the mountain area is getttng underway. Indicated production in the mountain areas is down about 1.8 percent from a year ago due mainly to a reduc::tion in acreage, whi'Ch was caused by the la,te cold spring.
UNITED STATES: Production of summer vegetables, excludin9 melons, is expected to be 3 percent less than last year but 6 percent above average, the
Crop .Reporting Board announced today. Forecasts 'pr'ep'ared .July I normally account
for nf"..arly two-thirds of the total summer vegetable' production. Major vegetables
with considerably less production than last year ~re sweet corn, tomatoes, and ~arrots. Reductions ar;e partly offset by large increases in such important crops as lettuce and' early summer onions. To date, no forecas~ has been,made on this year's production af late summer onions, green peppers or tomatoes. Acreage esti-
mates prepared for these three crops i~dicate 3 percent less than in 1959.
, Summer melon production-cantaloups, honeydews, and watermelons - is 9 percent above last year. Each of these crops is expected to be substantially large~ than in'l959. No production forecast has been made for late summer cantaloups but acreage for harvest is 7 percent above la~t year.
LIMA BEANS: The first forecast of the summer trop for fresh market indicates a
.'
production of 218,000 cwi. This Is a 2 per~ent increase over last
Summer's crop but 29 percent below average~ Harvest is well underway in Georgia
and North Caral ina and will continue throughout the summer period. In Maryland
and New Jersey growing conditions have been generally g'ood but' i't is"becoming dry
in some sections. Some early production is expected before July IS, but it will
be late 'July before harvest is general.' Norma'l yields are indicated on Long Island
with ~trst harvest in early August.
SNAP BEANS: Production in the summer States i~ forecast at 1,461,000 cwt., 3 percent less' than last year and 2 percent below average. Acreage is
also 3 percent below that harvested last year. MOderaie'supplles are,available frQm Massachusetts and Connecticut with peak movement expected the last half of July.' Fields in New Hampshire show the effect of too much moisture early in the season. Harvest-was expected to start July 10 and peak in early August. In Pennsylvania, harvest started about mid-June in the southeastern counties and was expected to be underway In all areas in early July. In Michigan, planting was delayed by wet weather early in the season. Aside' from b~ing late, the crop has made good 'progress. In Southwest Virginia, beans were"delayed by lack of rain until the last half of June when weather conditions were' favorable and the crop made good progress. Planting continued into early July on the higher elevations. ~arvest of early fields has started but shipments will not be heavy until mldJuly. Picking of the Georgia crop is expected to get underway after July 10. Dry weather has delayed progress and rain"is needed badly. Dry weather in Tennessee ~nd Alabama has also had its effect on snap beans. _ However, heavy thundershowers have helped locally in some sections of Alabama. Picking has started in Tennessee and will build up to peak movement about July 20. Hail in the Pueblo area of Colorado destroyed a maior portion of the acreage but most of this was replanted. As a result of this los; of early plantings, marketings wl11 6e'later than usual. The bulk of the ~rop will move in August and September.
~ATERMELONS: Production in the early summer States is forecast at 19,718,000 cwt., which is 7 percent above last year and 3 percent abov& average.North
Carol ina melons were expected to move to market in volume in early July and peak about July IS. Early dry weather damaged the South Carol ina crop, but conditions were improved by late June rains. Movement has begun in the southern areas with heavy movement expected during the week ending July 9. In Georgia, harvest will continue into late August. Dry weather In Mississip~i and Alabama has reduced yields, particularly in the southern parts of these States. Harvest started in the southern areas around June 22, with a short season expected because of the dry conditions. Harvest in northern Mississippi will begin in mid-July. Since more rain was received, prospects are brighter and, weather permitting harvest will continue into August. Northern Louisiana melons are in good condition while in the south Louisiana melons have been hurt by the drought. Major harvest should begin around July 10. In Oklahoma harvest is expected to start about July 20.

TALL FJJSCUE Sm::D F01~CAST - $OUTIICllN Al~
GDORGIA: The 1960 production of tall fescue seed in Georgia is forecast at 1,238,000 pounds, compared 'rlthl,225,OOO pounds in 1959.' Dry
weather in I,1ay and June retarded ve8etative grow:th and reduced seed yields in. many areas. The acrea~e harvested for seed is estimated at 1,500 or 1 percent above the 1,000 harvested last season. The yield per acre of 165 pounds is 10 pounds below 1959 and 11 pounds below the averag~.
xxxxxxxxx
The 1960 forecast of tall fescue seed production in 9 Southern States,
at 26,590,000 pounds, is 43 percent larger than the below average 1959 crop of 18,510,000 pounds for those states. The 1949-58 avera~e production for the South is 21,308,000 potillds. The forecast of the late harvested tall fescue
seed crop in the Pacific Northwest ~ll be included in the August 11 report. The 1959 estimates for Oregon, Washin~ton, and Idaho totaled 2,148,000 pounds.
Both acreage saved for seed and the prospective yield per acre is up in all Southern States, except in South carolina and Geor~ia. In thetie States; low yields resulted from the necessity to extend the grazing season because dry weather in Uay and early June inhibited the growth of other grasses. Heavy rains during the last weelc of June shattered some unharvested seed in r1issouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and ArImnsas, but most growers reported harvesting exceptionally good yields -- for some individuals a record high. Good harvest weather induced l1ississippi growers to harvest more seed than has been possible for several years.
Because of the late spring in the South, harvest got underway about 4 days later than last year and the usual date. Average beginning dates of harvest were: June 11-19 in South carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Oklahomaj June 23-25 in Tennessee, KentucIty, and Uississippij and June 26-21 in ArImnsas and Missouri.
carry-over of old crop seed by Southern growers v~s very small this year oniy 302,000 pounds in comparison ~th 131,000 pounds a year ago and the 1953-58 average of 2,731,000 pounds.

19~0 Calf Crop Report
Georgia:: The 1960 calf crop for Geor~ia is eXpected to total 695,000 head, the Georgia Crop neporti~ Service said today. ~nis is an incre~se of
3 percent compared With the 1959 crop of 675;000 head and is about 19 percent above the 1949-58 average crop of 586,000 calves.
United States: A calf crop of 41,646,000 head is expected for 1960 acco~dina to the Crop Heporting Board. This n\lIllber is 1 percent above the
1959 calf crop and 6 percent above ~he 1949-58 avera~e. The calf crop at this level "Till be the fourth laraest of record, exceeded by the calf crops in 1954,
1955, and 1956.
The larger calf crop this year is the result of a lar~er number of cows and
heifers on farms. Cows and heifers 2 years old and older January 1, 1960
totaled 48,594,000 head, up 3 percent from the 47,001,000 head on January 1,1959J
and 7 percent above the 10-year averaSe.
The number of calves born and expected to be born in 1960 expressed as a percentaGe of cows and heifers 2 years old and older January 1 this year is 86
percent compared "nth 87 percent in 1959 and 1949-58 averaGe of 86 percent.
This percentage is not strictly a ca1vi~ rate, since the January 1 inventory of. cows and heifers 2 years old and older does not include all heifers which Give
birth to calves durina the year and includes some cows that die or are slauahtered before calVing. This percentage is calculated to show trend in productivity over a period of time, and may fluctuate from year to year due to variation in cow slaughter and trends in breeding herd replacement
Southern States: In the South Atlantic States the 1960 calf crop at 3,373,000 head exceeds a year earlier by 2 percent. In the South
Central States the calf crop is expected to total 11,206,000 head, 3 percent more than in 1959. In the South At.lantic States the calf crop expressed as a . percent of cows and heifers 2 years ola and older is 78 percent and in the South central States, 83 percent. Both these percentages are the same as the average, but less than last year.

Georgia's 1960 cotton crop is forecast at 570;000 bales based on information
reported by crop correspondents as of August 1, the Georgia Crop Reporting Service
sa~d.today. This is 49,000 bales pr,9 p~r~e~t more than last year~s crop' 9f
521;qOO bales but 45,000 bales le,ss than the 1949-58 average production of
615,000 bales.
..
.
. Indicated lint yield per acre 'ot 4~'poundS' has only b~en exceeded by the
1958 record of 443 pounds. The 1959 yield was 381 pounds and the 10-ye~r(1949-58) avera13e is 301 pounds. Farmers are expected to harvest 670,000 acres this year, an increase of 2 pe~cent from-the 65$,000 harvested last season. The record acreage harvested was in 1914 with 5,157,000 acres.
Weather conditions during the planting season were very unfavorable and much replanting was necessary.. Cold, wet weath,er during April and early May delayed
the crop and stands are very irregular, especially in the northern half of'the
State. The crop made good prOl3ress in the southern districts during June and July,' but it has been difficult to control weevil and boll worm infestation . Ex-
tremely dry weather has retarded the crop in the west-ceI,\tral and. northves'';' tern portions of the State. The c~op is somewhat later than usual in all areas and harvestirig operations are just'starting in the extreme south~rn counties.
Final outtUl,"n of the' crop compared with the forecast inll de,pend upon whether the various factors affecting the crop during the remainder of the season a~e more or less favorable than normal.

UNITED STATES - GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF, AUGUST 1, 1960
Gains in yield prospects for several major crops during July give, promise of makina ~ -tone Nation's biggest crop year. Corn proSPects eased upward during July and "'Tinter wheat an4 oats outyielded earlier expectations. Spring wheat and
barley prospects shrank as the major producing States were hot and dry
. . Total feecl grain tonnage i8 now expected to fall about 4 percent below last year. cat production is substantially above last year, but the, corn, sorghum, a~ barley crops are expected to be smaller than in 1959. J.uly weather reJlBined too ' cool in the eastern Corn Belt to overcame lateness, but the crop still holds promisf given normal August moisture and warmth. A 4.1 billion bushel corn crop is now in prospect, nearly 1 percent above the forecast a month ago, but 6 percent below the
record p;roduction in 1959. Cool June and July weather favored tilling of the late
seeded oats crop in the Great Ialres region, but hot, dry weather from the Pacific Northwest eastward to the ltississippi River forced maturity too rapidly for best filling. Winter wheat production is a fifth larger than last year and only 5 percent below the record ,1958 production . The cotton crop is expected to fall slight~ below last year as lower ;y1eld prospects more 'than offset a 3 percent increase in acreage. '
~: Production of all corn is now forecast at 4,112 million bushels -- 6 percent
be1o", last year's record crop. The sllsht increase from the July forecast iQ
due to improved yield prospects in" Ohio, Illinois, and Iowa. The yield per harvest",
ed acre at 49.1 bushels is below last year's 51.5 bushel yield, but far above the
41.6 bushel average. Uuch of the corn was planted late this year and wh'1l.e the
crop made good progress during July, development is generalJ.y behind normal for
a. Aug'\.lSt 1. In some southern States hQ,rvest for silage is underway and picking ~s
started on ,few early fields for grain.
. ' .'
PEANUTs: The acreage of peanuts to be piclted and threshed is estimated at 1,398,000 acres, about 4 percent below the 1,453,000 acres harvested for
nuts last year and 18 percent below average. Except for the two drouth' years of
1954 and 1956 it would be the smallest acreage picked and threshed since 1933. The decreased acreage is all in the Southeast and Southwest areas as the acreage in the Virginia-carolina area 1s the same as in 1959. Uuch of the 4 percent decrease in the Southeast and the 5 percent in ..'the Southwest can be attributed to acreage in the Conservation Reserve program although dry weather at planting t1me 'in the Southwest prevented satisfactory germination and wet fields later in ley prevented some growers fran getting in their full intended acreage.
PECANS: Production is forecast at nearly 182 million pounds, the largest crop
, since ,1953. If this production is realized it will be 27 percent above
1959 and 21 percent more than average. Prospective production is above last year in all States except Georgia, Florida, and IDuisiana.

VEGETABLE CROP REPORT FOR AUGUST, I, 1960
UNITED STATES: Summer vegetable production, excluding melons, Is now exp~ct~d to'
be I per~ent more than last ,year and 9 percent above average, the
Crop Reporting Board announced today. Lettuce production is substantially larger
than last year and contributes most to the "increase. 'Other major vegetables,with
considerably larger prOduction than in 1959 are cabbage and cucumbers. Partlyoff-
setting these increases are decreases' in expected production of such important
crops as sweet corn, onions, tomatoes and celery. Aggregate summer melon produc-
tion -- cantaloups, honeydews, and- watermelons -- is 7 percent above last year.
Increases from 1959,are: waterine,lons~ 5 percent; cantaloups, '10 percent; and honey-
dews, 24 percent.
"
LIMA BEANS: Productlon'of I ima beans in the summer group Is now estimated at 236,000 cwt., II percent more than 1959 but 23 percent less than aver-
age. Expected yields are sl ightly above last year and average. In New York, rains thinned early plantings on Long Island but since that time growing conditions and moisture supplies have been favorable on both Long Island and upstate. Harvest 'of New Jerseys' crop started In mid-July and marketings became general around July 20. Maryland's Eastern Shore crop was hindered by dry weather during most Qf July, but improved from late July rains. Harvest Is well underway in North Carol ina. Pro-
duction prospects are sharply above 1959 and average. Dry weather in Georgia during most of July hurt the early crop. Late July rains, however, have Improved prospects for a second crop.
SNAP BEANS: The summer States are harvesting a I,531},OOO cwt. crop of snap beans this year. The 1960 crop is 2 percent larger than 1959 and 3 percent
larger than average. Conditions In Ohio and 111 inols improved but additional moisture is needed. Harvest of Michigan's late crop began in mid-July and is expected to continue until the end of September. Favorable conditions prevailed in Virginia, Volume harvest will continue into September because of late plantings. In North Carol Ina, conditions have been favorable and harvest is well underway. Late July rains improved prospects in Georgia,and light harvest Is expected to last until frost. Very few beans were marketed until after July 4 in Tennessee but reached a peak around the mlddfe of the month. late plantings will provide supplies until the end of September. Dry weather in northeastern Alabama has reduced yields. Conditions in the rest of the State are spotty, depending on moisture. Hail damaged a portion of the Colorado crop in early June, but most of it was replanted. Local markets are being supplied from acreage that escaped hail damage. Movement from the late planted fields should begin In mid-August and continue into early October.
CABBAGE: Late Summer production is now forecast at 3,731,000 cwt., 6 percent above last year but 6 percent below average. About II percent of the late
summer production is tied up by kraut processors through acreage or tonnage con-
tracts. This is the same percent as contracted last year. In addition, kraut packers normally purchase a substantial part of their requirements on the open market. In Pennsylvania, Indiana, 111 inols a:nd North Carol ina,,~mple moistur~ suppl ies have promoted good growth. 'Harvest is underway. Hail in northern Colorado caused
considerable damage; otherwise, the crop has made good growth . Marketings' are expected to Increase through August and be "in heavy volume throu9h September~' In, Washington, maggots have caused considerable damage, particularly on ea,rl i~r fields, Movement continues from all late summer p~oducging' areas of, California.
WATERMELONS: The final forecast of early' summer watermelons at, 19,373,000 cwt., Is
5 percent more than was produced in 1959 and I percent larger' than
average. In the Edenton area of Nbrth CaroJ:lna, the number of melons per acre was below normal but sizes were a'bove normal. Ha,rvest of a good qual ity crop has just passed the peak. : Movement of South Carol Ina' watermelon~ is coming to a close with small movement from the Barnwell.and Page.1a,nd 'areas ~ont,lnuing. A few melons remain to be harvested in North Georgia. This area should be through bY"mld-Augu'st. Dry weather reduced yield prospects in Alabama and Mississippi. Harvest is'strfl in progress in northern Mississippi where melons are smaller than usual but are of
good qual ity. Volume movement in Arkansas began in late July. Late melons need rain in the Hope area but moisture suppl ies are adequate in the west central counties. In Louisiana, harvest of early planted melons in the north central part of the State is nearing completion. Harvest of late planted melons Is just getting underway. Yield and size appear good. Harvest of Oklahoma's crop began about
July 15 and reached volume movement by August I. Harvest in south and south cen-
tral Texas was nearing comp~etion by the end of July. Shipment of Arizona melons Is about complete. In Cal ifornla, I ight supplies are available in Kern County.

GEORGIA COTl'ON REt2"RT LA'[~OF- 8Em.ffiER 1, 1960
. Georgia's 1960 cott~n crop is forecast at 540,000 bales based on information'
reported by crop correspondents as of Se~tember 1, tIle Georgia Crop Reporting
Service said today. This is 30,000 bales or five percent below indicated pro-
duction a. month ago. ~le decline in prospective production is due primarily to
unfavorable weather conditions during .August. ~le current forecast is 19,000 bales or tour percent above last year's crop of 521,000 bales but it is 15,000 bales below the 1949-58 average production. of 615,000 bales.
~le indicated lint yield of 381 pounds per acre has been exceeded only by the.. record 1958 yield of 443 pounds. The yield per acre last year was 381 pounds and the 1949-58 average is 301 pounds per acre.
Frequent showers during August made it difficult to control weevi'ls and infestation became very heavy in many areas. Damage to the top crop was severe in many' cases, especially in late fields. Harvesting operations were delayed during the last half of the month and some damage to mature bolls from excessive moisture has occurred with the heaviest damage in fields having mol': vegetative' growth.
Final outturn of the crop, compared with this forecast, 'nll depend on whether or not the various factors affecting the cotton crop during the remainder
of the season are more or less favorable than usual
.The Bureau of the Census repo~ts approximately 11,000 running bales ginned prior to September 1 compared ,nth 132,000 to that date in 1959 and 93,000 in 1958...

UNITED STATESL-FiL'.1oB~~E:.tSj.ga ~l' fall vegetables in 1960 is expected to'.be 7 per-
cent larger than-in 1959 but 4 percent below average; the Crop
Reporting Board announced today. Estimates prepared as of SepteJqber 1 ~\18.lly account for four-fifths of the total fall production. cabbage and cauliflower
production is substantially larger than last year and contributes most to the increase. other vegetables witIl a larger indicated proq.uction in 1960 t~n in 1959 are celery, snap beans, cucumbers, and spinach. Partly offsetting. :these in-
creases are less expected production ot lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and.green
peas. Fi~;t forecasts have been prepared for most summer vegetables and melons. Total production is 2 percent above last year and 9 percent above &verage.
Planting of fall and wintel. crops is making normal progress in most .Ilreas. Seeding and transplanting are active in Florida. Those crops whi ch are. up are mal~ing reasonably good gro,\rth. Texas growers are maldng ~ood progress in preparing field, seeding, and cultivating winter vegetables. Planting of Winter crops is the principal activity in the desert areas of california.
LIMA BEANS: The final forecast for the summer prodUcing States is for.~. ,~rop of
248,000 cwt., 16 percent above 1959 but 19percent below average.
In New Yorl~, heavy rains on July 30 caused some damage and lowered quali1;y.
l10derate volume is expected to continue to be harvested until after mid-September.
New Jersey prospects improved from earlier expectations. Except for a small
.
acreage, harvest in Georgia was complete by September L Rust and scald lowered
quality considerably.
SNAP BEANS: The final forecast of summer production, at 1,504,000 em., is
about the same as last year and average . New England had a 'good crop of be~ns. I~rvest has passed peak and moderate to li~lt supplies Wi:l! be available during September unless ended by frost. August rains were beneficial to the crop in central and western New Yorlt. In, central New Yor}t harvest was about theee-fourths complete by the end of August. . Supplies from t~e Hudson Valley Will continue at about the same level until frost. Peak harvest in cayuga County was expected in early September. Light harvest on Long Island will continue into October. Supplies have been liberal in all producing areas. '01' Pennsylvania, but volume is declining rapidly. Supplies of beans Will be available during September in OhiO, Illinois and Itlichigan. Harvest of late plantings in southwest Virginia is under'\l8.Y and should last well into September. Heavy rains during August in North carolina reduced yield. prospects. Peale harvest is passed in North Georgia and only a small acreage of late plantings remain to be picked. Quality has been good in Colorado and supplies are expected to be in moderate volume into early October.
CABBAGE (for fresh marleet and lU'aut): The final forecast of the late summer crop places production at 3,811,000 ewt.,
8 percent more than last year but 4 percent less than average. In Pennsylvania August weather was warm after the below normal temperatures of previous months.
Quality is good. Volume is declining. The crop is good in Indiana and Illinois.
In Indiana, heads have grown too fast, necessitating some spot picldng of Jumbo heads. Harvest in North carolina is underway in all mountain areas. Above
normal rainfall during August has resulted in good yields. Quality is also good. Supplies will be available until early November. Frequent rains in Georgia have
reduced yields. Harvest is about over. Colorado growers are getting unusually
high yields in all areas. Quality is excellent. Heavy movement is expected to
continue through October. In vlashington, hot August weather and maggots caused a short crop. california supplies continue to move from Monterey~ Los Angeles and orange Counties. Volume Will remain at about the same level until early December.
CUCUMBERS: The first forecast of early fall cucumber production is for a crop
of 556,000 cwt. This is 6 pe-rcent above last year's production and
a third more than average. In Virginia, stands are uniform in the southern par" tion of the Eastern Shore but spotty in the northern part. Harvest was expe,cted
'"to begin in earl September and reach volume by mid-month. The South carolina crop is in good condition. H8rvest Will begin in late September. Because of excessive rains, disease is prevalent in the small Georgia crop. late August showers were favorable tor growth in Louisiana. Harvest Will start about midSeptember and probably peale about October 1. Supplies in california are ample to satisfy local marlcets demands. A small acreage of "poled" cucumbers was planted this season in the san Diego and OXnard areas.

bushels, an increase 'of 6,300,000 bushels or eight percent from last year's crop of 81,909,000 bushels.
Prospects 'throughout the State vary widely. Corn is generally very good 11'1; ,
the southern halt of the'State but the crop is spotty in the remaining areas.
Ra1ns during AuguSt helped late corn in preViOUSly dry areas 1n West-centI1l1 and
Northwest Georgia. The yield per acre of 33.0 bushels promises to be a record

'crop of 104,880, 000 poun~s. The 1960 crop Will be the largest produced in '
Georgia si~ce 1956 whe~ 'the State's production totaled 128,040,000 pounds. The
sharp increase in production from ,last year if! due primarily to the record high

UNITED STATES -' GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF' .SEPm-1BER 1 j 1960
A record total crop production now seems llIrely as most major crops registered gains during the past month.
Based on September 1 estimates, the production index for all crops edged
upward to 120, to widen the margin over the former record of 118 for the 1958
and 1959 crop seasons. The feed grain and oil crop group indexes increased sub-
stantially during the month, while hay a.tld forage, cotton, and tobacco showed
slight advances. The food grain] vegetable" and sugar crop indexes were unchanged
from a month ago. '
'
,
The composite yield per acre index covering 28 leading crops advanced ~o 140] 'second only to the 143 in 1~,a and ",ell above the 135 of 1959. Record 'yields
per acre are indicated for sorghum grain, peanuts and tobacco while the dry bean
yield ties the record set last year.
Total feed grain tonnage now 1001'>:s to be only about 2 per~ent below last year, as sorghum prospects increased substantially during August and corn, oats, and
barley showed modest increases. A 4.2 billion bushel corn crop is now in prospect,
about 2 percent above 'a month ago;'but 4' percent below the record production last
year. Late July and August rains boosted corn prospects in t~le Southeast, particu-
larly on the later plantings. Hid-August weather ~s cooler than usual in the Corn Belt, and maturity continues to la'g the usual progress to pose a serious threat of damage from an early frost. Sorghum grain prospects brightened considerably as
yields pushed to record or near-record levels in nearly all States. Production
of 591 million bushels is only 3 percent below the record of 1958 which was har-
vested from nearly 1 1/2 million more acres. Oat production is a tenth larger
~han the small 1959 crop, and barley production is 1 percent lower than last year
4lut about a fourth above average.
CORN: The September 1 production forecast of all corn. at 4,182 million bushels
is 4 percent below the record 1959 production. Prospects declined during
August in Minnesota, Tennessee, Texas, and Colorado but ,.,ere maintained or improved
+n most other States. Yield is indicated at 50.0 bushels per acre compared with 51.5 bushels last year and the average of 41.6 bushels.
PEANUTS: Production of peanuts is forecast at 1,688 million pounds based on conditions as of September 1. A record yield of 1,201 pounds per acre is
forecast for the United States, only slightly above the previous record of 1,204 pounds for the '1958 crop. Record and near record Yields are in prospect for all
important States in the Southeastern and Southwestern areas.
PECANS: Prospective production of pecans is forecast at 185,.200,000 pounds; 2
,
percent above the August 1 estimate, 29 percent above last year, and 23
percent over average. Compared with a month ago; a decline in indicated production
for Oklahoma was more than offset by increases in all States from ArImnsas and
LoUisiana east,~rd, except Florida. Weather conditions during August were generally
~avorable for sizing which apparently more than offset the heavY droppage generally
reported in these States.

heavY ..;J;~infall during the spring restricted bee activity. However, in the East
North Central States weather was"favorable for nectar' flow'during the summer
months and yield was above average but below last year's high yeild. The
India~. crop is expe-cted to be the largest of record. Dry weather during'late
July arid early August reduced nectar flow in Minnesota, North Dakota. '!South
Dakota, and northwestern Iowa. Production in North Carolina and Georgia was
above both last year's crop and the average. The orange honey crop in Florida
was of high quality and larger than last year. In Iilouisiana and Oklahoma, the
spring flow was good and the 1960 yield per colony was the largest of record.
The nectar flow from cotton in Texas was reported as fair. Because of hot dry
weather during the summer months production in the Western States was well
below average, although higher than last year. A cool spring, including late
frost, in Idaho, Utah, and Washington retarded growth of flowering plants and
cut production. In California unfavorable weather and limited moisture con-
ditions sharply reduced nectar flow from citrus and sage, however, a fairly
good honey crop was obtained from alfalfa. Production in California, although
below average, was well above last year's crop, the smallest of record.
The 10 leading honey producing States in 1960 (in order of production) were: Minnesota, California, Florida, Wisconsin, New York, Texas, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Iowa. These States accounted for about 59 percent of the Nation's crop.

REACH RECORD LEVELS
Stocks of wheat and old crop corn and sorghum grain in all positions on
Oct,ober 1 move4 to new record high levels for the date. Wheat stocks, of Z, 350 m~llion bushels were a tenth above the previous record, stocks of old corn of 1,199 million Du'shels exceeded the previous record by nearly a fifth and sorghum
grain "increased ,14 percent over the record of a year ago. Barley and oats stocks ~~re _s',~ghtly ~arger t~an a year ago but well below record levels. The moderate incl'eases in oats .and barley combined with the sharp increases in, corn and sorg~~m, grain to push feed gra:in stocks to a' new recol'd high level and 13 percent above a year ago. Stocks of old crop soybeans were reduced sharply below the
level of a year earlier with, rye and flaxseed stock regi,stering gains over a year
ago.. ':':"
Wheat stocks of 2, 350 million bushels stored in all positions were the largest 'of record for. October 1, mQre than one-half la'l':ger than average and a tenth larger than a year earlier. The stocks total was nearly three-fourths larger than the 1960 production, reflecting a continued larger carry-over of old wheat on July 1. Off-farm wheat stocks of 1,795 million bushels were the largest of record. About two-thirds of the total stocks and more than three-fourths of the off-farm stocks were either owned by the Government or were under Government loan.
Old Corn in all storage positions on October 1, 1960, totaled 1, 799 million
bushels, 18 percent above the previous record carryover of a year ago. Hold-
ings on farms of 464 million bushels were 40 percent above last year. However,
nine-tenths of these farm stock were under ece loan including reseal and purchase
agreements. Stocks in all off-farm positions amounted to 1,335 million bushels
of which more than 95 percent were owned by CCC. Off-farm stock were 11 per-
cent higher than a year earlier. Disappearance of corn from all storage positions
dUring the July-September quarter, at 764 million bushels, was 13 percent above
the same quarter last year.

ing the month ended october 15', 1960 to 244 percent of its 1910-14
average. Higher prices for eggs, 'hogs, and II1JJ: were" the most important factors in t};1e 1nc~eased index which was three percent above the OCtober 1959 1Ddex.

ing lower prices from a month ago were corn, aJ.l bay,' cotton lint, beef cattle,

,
During the month ended October 15 the IDdex of Prices Received by Farmers
rose'l percent (3 points) to 240 percen't ot itl 1910-14 average. Most ot'the in-
crease resulted trom higher prices tor hogs" ega, and mill~. Moat important
declines were reported for beef cattle, corn, grapefr\dt, and potatoes. The mid-
October index was 2 percent above' October 1959. !his was the ftrst month in 1960
that the index was above 'the correspondill6 month ot a year earlier.
P'arm wage rates did not ri8~ as 111\.&$ a~ U$ua1 this fall. As a result, the reduction ot 3 'percent in the seasonally ad,JU8ted In4ex of Farm Wage Rates was
n,,' primarily responsible for a 1 point ~cl1ne in the Index ot Prices Paid by
Farmers for COIIIIlodities and Serv! ces ~ incJ ng Interest, Taxes, and Farm \olage
Rates on OC'tober 15. The mid-OCtober Index was 1 poillt higher than a year earli-
er and the highest ot record for t~ month.

'A Georgia cotton' crop of 510,000 bales (500 pounds gross ,.,eight) was indi'ca-
ted on November 1, according to information gathered by the Georgia Crop Report-
ing Service. The prospective production is down 5,000 bales from last month and
is''lL,OOO bales' below last year.
The forecasted-' lint yield 'per acre of 365 pounds has been exceeded only in
1955, 1958, and :'1959 and is 64 pounds above the 1949-58 average of 301 pounds. 1;..
.

Production in the southern districts is expected to be about 14 percent abov~ ;.
last year; the mid-State area ShO\olS a decrease of 4 percent and the northern"~":
districts will ~rvest about 25 percent less than. in 1959.
.
!
Weather conditions were favorable during most of the month for harvesting
operations and good progress was made in most areas. Frequent rains the last'of
September and early October in the northern districts caused some delay and re-' duced the quality to some extent. By November 1 picl~ing was about 'over in '~'.'
southern districts; well advanced in .the mid-State area; and about 80 percent .:1..,
complete in northern districts.

UNITED STATES - -GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF NOVEMBER I, 1960
A record total crop production Is assured, as favorable October weather allowed late-growlng'corn and sorghum crops to reach full maturity and all-time highs. Late season gains for corn, sorghum grain, rice, peanuts, tobacco, and dry beans more than offset slight to moderate reductlon$ In cotton, soybeans, and sugar crops.
:.. ,
ceRN Is estimated at a record 4,379 million bushels, 3 percent more than October-T, slightly higher.than 1959, .nd 34 percent above average.
SOYBEAN production Is estimated at:560 mllllon'bushels, second highest of
record, 4 percent more than 1959, and 55 percent above average.
SORGHUM GRAIN production Is expected to re.ch a record 618 million bushels, up 7 percent from 1959 and,more than 2 1/3 times the average.
PECANS are estimated at 179 million poundS, 4 percent below October 1, but 15 percent above 1959, and 19 percent more than average.
MILK PRODUCTION during October totaled 9,545 million poundS, 1 percent more
than 1959 and 7 percent.above average.
EGGS laid during October at 4,594 million, are 5 percent less than 1959 but
4 perceiit more than average. '

"
~EORGIA: The 1960 Georgia lespedeza seed production is forecast at 3,040;000'
pounds accordj.ng to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is 16'
percent below the 1959 crop of 3,600,000 pounds and is less than one-half of the
10-year 'avera,ge (-1949-58) production. The' yield per acre of 190 pounds is 10
pounds above last 'year and 18 pounds 'above the 10-year average yield. The hal"'vest-
.e~.~creage this season of 16,000 acres is 20 percent below 1959 and,only 45 ,per-
.. ce~t,of' the 1949-58 average of 35,150 acres,.' Sericea production of 2,128,000
pounds is 70 percent of the total crop, fol10't-led by Kobe with 608,000 pounds and
Korean 'with il.52,OOO pounds. '
', .
. Weather conditions varied widely throughout the major producing areas. Dry
we~~~~r in parts ,9f north Georgia reduced yields and in some areas the intended '
acreage was, not harvested. The Conservation Reserve Pro~ram was responsible'~~r
some of the: clecrease in, the harvested acreage.

,~ :The 1960 .crop 'of "le~'pedeza, seed is' forecast at 94,450,000 pounds, one-
fom-th under the relatively sImU.:J. J.959 crop of 125,985,000- pounds and one-third
p~~ow,average, according to theG~Pp Reporting Board. Sharp reductions are~ri~
dica.ted for all states except Maryland, India.na, and Oklahoma. Maryland grow!irs
e~ect a high yield to offset a reduced acreage, whereas a greater acreage' in,"'
Indiana and Oklahoma is largely respOl'isible for the production increases in these
states.
. .. .
. . , .. ::
:: An exceedingly wet planting season in the fall 0:',1959 sharply reduced. . ':' 'se'eding of oats, the main companion crop of annual lespedeza, in South Centra.:1!1 and. Atlantic States. Cold \o1eather in the spring of 1960 also discoUl~aged the' planting of lespedeza. These deterrents to plantings, together with a midsummer need for forage, reduced the acreage of .the annuals. The forecast for Korean, the principal annta1 species, is do\n1 for the second consecutive year, whereas production of sericea, the perennial species, continues to gain. Seed of the latter has been in demand for planting the Conservation Reserve, roadsides and ~nld life refuges. Comparative production of each species with the estimates for last year in parentheses, follow: Korean - 45,809,000 (14,661,000); Kobe 36,591,000 (39,284,000); Tennessee 76 and Comnon - 627,000 (823,000); Sericea 11,209,000 (10,658,000); and Other - 214,000 (559,000).
An indicated 467,000 acres will be harvested for seed this year, 22 percent less than the 596,000 acres harvested in 1959 and 35 percent less than averaGe. The prospective acreage for seed is the smallest in 24 years. Dry summer and early fall weather stunted gro't-~h and some lespedeza v~s too short to combine. This, and damp fall weather at harvest time, are factors which lowered yields in producing areas west of the Appalachians. Above-average yields are expected in most South Atlantic States with the exception of Virginia and North carolina where droughty conditions follo"ing the oat harvest retarded growth. IIowever, a remarkably favorable season for development of lespedeza seed was experienced in some sections of the latter two States. spotty prospects were also reported in South carolina and Georgia.
Frosts on October 20 and 21 brought on an earlier than usual harvest in the northern tier of producing states, but harvest was later than usual in the southern group of States. Generally, harvest was underway earlier than last year. Average beginning dates of harvest were as follm'ls: October 23-25 in Mj.ssouri and Ka.nsas; October 21-29 in Kentucky and Georgia; October 30-31 in Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Illinois; november 1 in Indiana and Virginia; november 4-6 in the carolinas and Tennessee; and November 8-10 in Arl\B.l1sas and Maryland.

carryover at old-crop lespedeza seed on June 30, 1960, is estimated at
11,548,000,pounds (5,235,000 pounds held by growers and 6,313,000 pounds by dealers). This compares with June 30, 1959 carryover ot 14,938,000 pounds (9,086,000 pounds by growers and 5,852,000 pounds by dealers) and average midyear stocks ot 17,804,000 pounds.
Initial supply ot i.espedeza seed (1960 nOduction plus June 30, 1960 carry-
over) is indicated at 105,998,000 poUDds, 24 percent less than the initial supply ot 140,923,000 pounds a year ago, aDd 34 percent below average.

This was one percent below the October 15 index, but represented a six per~ent.increase over the mid-November index of last year. The All Crop in'dex dropped f,"oJ!l.r points du~ng the month to 254 percent and the index of ' Livestock and tiv~stock ~roducts slipped one point to 213 percent.
'Price 'declines i~r cotton lint, :steers and" heifers, hogs, broilers, and mille were 'mostly responsible for the lower index. The price of cotton lint fell off 1.1 cents as tail-end harvest ,scrappings of lower grade cotton accounted for the drop. Broiler prices, averaged :.2 cents per pO'-lI1d lower and the preliminary milk price, estima~e showed a 15 cent seasonal decline from October. Pric~s ,fo! b~rley, rye~ grain s~rghum, apd soybeans were also off from a month ago.

During the month ended November 15, the Index of Prices Received by' U~, S. Farmers rose less than half of one percent (1 point) to 241 percent of its 1910-14 averag~. Primarily re$ponsible for the increase were higher prices for eggs,
beer' cattle, tomatoes, milk, and potatoe-s. A sharp drop in com prices-" tpgether with: ~oderate declines for cotton,_ or.~ge~" ~d ,hogs were partially offset-ting. , The mi~-November index was within one' point of the 1960 high to date, ~stablished in April, and was 4 percent above a year earlier.
The index of Prices Paid by Farmers, for, Commodities and Services; 'Inciuding
Interest, Taxes, and Farm T'Tage Rate.s remained unchanged from October 15, to
November '15' ~t 297. Prices paid for'family living items, notably used automobiles
and, 'food, averaeed a little higher in mid-November, but other elements 'of the -
Index were mostly unchanged. With interest, taxes, and farm wage rates signifi-
cantly highe~ than in 1959, the Index wag 1 point (1/3 of 1 percent) higher than
a year earlier.

J-
Georgia cotton production for 1960 amounted to 505,000 ba1esb(5QO ~PQUl gross weight) which is 16,000 bales below the 1959 crop and 110,000 less than tlle 1949-58 ~verage production of 615,000 bales. The indicated lint yield. per acre 9f 371 pounds has been exceeded only in 1955, 1958 and 1959 end is 70 p~Unds above
~he 10-year (1949-58) average ot 301 pounds. The harvested acreage ot 653,000' is
about the same as last year but only 62 percent of the ten-year average of
~,053,OOO acres. The largest acreage harvested in Georgia was the 5,157,000 in +914. The smallest harvested acreage since estimates were started in 1866 was
381,000 in 1958.
Weather conditions during the planting season were very unfavorable and much
replanting was necessary. Stands were very irregular and some acreage was aOOn-
qoned and planted to other crops. During J'Wle and July the crop made good prog-
~ss in the southern districts but it was difticu1t to control weevil and boll
wQ.rm i~~~.ta:tion . ,Ext.remely d17 weather retarded the crop in the west centru. '"
and northwestern portions ot the State, and yields varied widely by areas.
~eather conditions were generally favorable during the harvesting season and
picIting was about comple~e by December ,1. Production in the ~orthern districts
will be 23.' percent '!ess than in 1959; the mid-state area will harvest 1 jl~<te~t __
less and the' southern districts .will harvest" about 14 percent more ba-les than

ACREAGE AND INDICATED PR~et'ION OF
PRINCIPAL VEGETABLE CROPS
l)ecember 1, 1960
Georgia: Dry weather conditions prevailing around December 1 had became a big factor in transplanting the Early Spring cabbage crop to the fields.
The prospective acreage of Early Spring cabbage tor harvest is placed at 3,500 acres, 17 percent more than last year, but well below average.
By December 1, cold weather had ended the harvest of most tender fall vegetable crops in the State.
United States: ~oduction of Winter vegetables is expected to be less than last Winter) the Crop Reporting Board annoul1ced today. Forecasts for
10 crops, which usually account for more than halt of the Winter production,
indicate a 3 percent decline. Tile largest tonnage decrease from last year is in
celery production. Substantially less production of artichokes and beets is eX\pected. Partially offsetting these decreases are small increases in lettuce,
cauliflower and broccoli. Acreage estimates have also been made for three other
Winter crops. cabbage acreage is up 7 percent but carrots are down 22 percent and escarole 6 percent.
CABBAGE: Acreage of Winter cabbage for harvest this season is estimated at 50,000 acres, 7 percent more than last year and 25 percent above average..
The largest increase in acreage over last year was in Texas where approximately halt of the 1960 acreage is located. Approximately 80 percent of this year's Texas acreage is in the Lower Valley. Early plantings in the Winter Garden and san Antonio areas came into production in late October and will be in volume through December. Light harvest was underway in the Lower Valley in late November and should be heavy by late December. Harm, h\:lJ!lid weather during September and October was not favorable for the best growth of the early planted fields. Intermittent rains hampered cultivation. Stands are uneven and heads small. later plantings are maldng fairly good progress and have even stands. Planting for late season harvest will continue into December. The Florida crop loolts good. Very light harvest is in progress and will become more active by midDecember. ,'Zellwood acreage is about through, but other areas will be increasing in daily sh1pments. california has less acreage than last year with a reduction in Imperial Valley. Cooler weather during November was very beneficial to the crop. I4ght supplies are available in all areas. The Arizona crop is reported to be in good condition. Harvest began in early November and show.d continue through March.
The prospective acreage of ear~ ~~ing cabbage for harvest is placed at 14,700 acres, 11 percent more than last year but 21 percent below average. All sta~ea, except Mississippi and california, expect to have more acreage next spring than last.
LETI'UCE: The f'ir,;t forecast places winter production at 10,270,000 cwt., slightly above last year and 18 percent more than average. The only State
with an appreciable increase in production over last year is Texas where there . 's a significant increase in planted acreage. As a result of intermittent rains 'al-.Tn, d cloudy days, yields of early plantings Will be low. There has been no significant damage fram disease or insects to date; however) many plants have formed loose heads. Warm weather has ca'l:l8ed some bolting late plantings, for harvest after mid-December; are mal.ing good growth. A light harvest began in the Lower Valley and Uvalde areas the last weelt of November and should reach volume by midDecember. Other areas Will come into production in late December. Production will peale in January and February. In Arizona, yields and quality are reported to be good.
~~ IIarvest began in the Yuma area in mid-December and should be in volume until mid-January. There will be a slight lull in late January between harvest of

1960' PIG CROP DO~ 11 PERCENT: The 1960 pig crop to1;.aled'"S8,.7 ml1ion head, a
decrease of 11 percent from last year, ~ccording to the Crop Reporting Board. The spring pig crop totaled 47.1 million head, compared with 56.6 million head in 1959--a decrease of 17 percent. The fall pig crop totaled 41.6 million 'head, compared with 42,.. 8 million a year ago, a decrease of 3 percent. The smaller, spring crop was the result of a 1.5 percent decrease in sows farrowing and ,a 2 percent drop in pigs per litter. The smaller fall crop carne as a result of a 3 percent decrease in 80~ farrowing which more than offset a slight increase iP.:P,igs per litter. ~
1961 SPRING INTENTIONS UP FOUR PERCENTs For the spring of 1961, reports based
,
on farmers' intentions indicate 7.1 mil-
lion sows to farrow, OF 4 percent above the 6~8 mi11ion~ ~ows farrowed in 'the,
spring of 1960. If these inte~tions materialize, and the number of pigs pe~
litter should equal the 10-year average, with an allowance for upward,trend; the
1961 spring pig crop would be 49.5 milLion head--5 percent above the 1960 spring
pig crop.
