at LESP.E. DEZA SEED PRODUCTIO ,
GEORGIA: The i962 Geo~gia lespede~a seed produ~tion is forecast
2,310,000
..
pounds, according to the. Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is 36
percent below the 1961 crop of 3,600,000 pounds and is the smallest produ~tion
sfnce 1954 . The yield ~er- acre- of 2lQ pound~ is -10 POlllldS .~bove la.~t season and
37 pounds above the 1951-60 ten-year average ,yield. . Acre~ge harvested . fo~ seed
this season of .ll,OOO is 7,000below the 1961 acr~age and is the smailest _since
1954. The current harvested acreage .is onl.y 42 percelit of .the 1953.-60 average. .. Sericea produGtion of 1,617,000 pounds is 70 percent of the to~l c~op . followe~ ~y
Kobe With 4161000 pounds and 18 percent, Korean with 231,000 pounds and 10 percent.
Weathe.r conditions during the earl.y sl.lmmer months were favorable, anQ. the
sericea crop .made good growth. The seed yield was good in most areas . Dey
weathe.r during the fall months damaged. the late -zrAturing varieties, and some of
the intended acreage for seed was not harvested.

UNITED STATES LESPEDEZA SEED PRODUCTION
The preliminary estimate of the 1962 lespedeza seed crop . is 8Q,l20,000 .
pounds, 2 percent less than last year's revised total of 81,920,000 polinds, but
nearly one-third less tl:lan the 1951-60 average of. 117; 782,000 ppunds. Iarg~r .. 1
crops in ~ndiana 1 Illinois, Kentucky1 Tennessee, and Arkansas partiali.y offset
smaller crops in"other producing States.
.. .
. Dry summer weather and the resulting short hay crop contributed to fewer
acres of lespedeza being harvested tor seed. The acreage harvested for seed was down from last year .in ENtoch ot the States except Indiana, Illinois and Arkansas.
The 1962 .u. s. -yieid is up trpm a. yea~ earlier because ot higher yields in
Indiana1 Illinois, North Carolina1 Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas
. Production ot the Korean species, With almost two-thirds ot the U. s. total,
was down slightly trcm last year. Striate Kobe was the only species to post a gain over 1961. Comparative production of eaCh species, with estimates for last year in parentheses are: . Korean - 50,841,000 (51,059,000); Striate Kobe 23,902,000 (22,962,000); Striate Common and Tennessee 76 - 459,000 (605,000); Sericea 4,678,000 (7,031,000); other species - 240,000 (263,000).
By increasing production to 14.0 million pounds, Kentucky became the leading
State. Missouri, lAst year's leader, was second with ll.2 million pounds,
followed by North Carolina, Indiana, and Tennessee. Together, these States
produced more than two-thirds ot the rational total.
Throughout the producing area, combining of seed began several days later than last year. This ranged as high as 10 days later in Arkansas and 11 days later in OklahoJrA. Average beginning dates of harvest this year were: October
27 in Illinois, October 29 in Georgia, October 31 in Kentucky, November 1 in
South CaroliDB and Alabama, November 2 in Indiana, l(ansas, and Mississippi,
November 3 in Tennessee, November 5 in Missouri and North Carolina, November ll in Oklahoma, November 12 in Arkansas, November 18 in Virginia, and November ~0 in M:loryland.
Carryover as of June 30, 1962, of lespedeza seed from 1961 and previous years' crops was estimated at 6,674,000 pounds (3,019,000 held by growers and 3,655,000 pounds by dealers). Holdings a year earlier were 6,171,000 pounds (3,828,000 by growers and 2,343,000 by dealers), and the 10-ye.a.r average was 12,181,000 pounds.
Initial supp~ ot lespedeza seed (1962 production plus June 30, 1962 carry-
over) is indicated at 86,794,000 pounds, l percent less than the total of 88,091,000 pounds last year.

January i, 1963
Winter Veget~bles: Production of all winter vegetables estirrated at 33.7 million --- cwt~.~about the same as last year b_~t 2 f.ercent above t~e 5-year, 1957-61,
average .
Cabbage: Production, at 5.9 milliort cv;rt.,"is one percent halow last year. The
-.---December cold wave delayed the Flcr1ca. crop and cauned so~e dareage. Harvest ... is now active in all Florida areas. Supplies are a l so available fr om the other winter producing States of Texas, P.rizona, and Californ:i.a. and from storages in Ne1-1 York.
The first forecast of the winter cabbage crop places production at 5,933,000 cwt., l percent below the 1962 crop and 7 percent below the 1957-61 average. Increased prospects above 1962 in Texas almost offset reduced prospects in the . other
States- Florida, Arizona, and California. In Florida, cold weather during Decetr.ber is expected to result in reduced yields by failure of plants. to make nor mal size. A heavy frost hit central Florida the morning of January 2 but dUmage to cabbage fr om this cold snap is not expected to be severe. Considerable acreage is expected to be planted after January l in central Florida but plantin,g _has been completed in the Hastings and Everglades area. Harvest is active in all areas and is expected to increase as more fields come into producticm. Volume is ex pected tope below normal through January and February. Supplies were available from all areas of south Texa~ during December. Movement from the Rio Grande Valley will increase during January with peak expected fr om mid-January into .. ~~rch. Late acreage will furnish supplies through April. Some supplie s ~ill be available from the Laredo area during January and February. Harvest is active in the Winter Garden and San Antonio area. Late planti ngs are rraking good progress and will furnish supplies into April. Growing conditions in Arizona have been favorable. Harvest is expected to continue into May. Cabbage fields in California are in generally good condition. Frost during the last week of December caused no serious damage to the crop. Cutting began in the Imperial Valley about mid-December and supplies are expected to increase duri ng January and continue through February. Harvest from most of the coastal producing districts started in December and supplies will be available during the next two months.
Onions: The early spring acreage in Texas is placed at 22, OCOacres :for harvest,
com~ared with 22, 300 f.'l,Cres harvested last year. Planting is practically complete. Intenti oni in the late spring States are for 7, 200 acres, 14 per
ce~t less than harvested last year.
Growers reported intentions for late spring onions indicate 7,200 acres will be ava~lable f or harvest in 1963. If these i ntenti ons materialize, the 1963 acreage will be 14 percent less t han last year and 37 percent below the fi ve year average. California growers expect to harvest 400 acres less than last year.
About half of this decline is expected to occur in the Imperial Valley. A reduc tion is also expected in the Coa chella Valley while little change is anticipated
in the 9tockton Delta. In Arizona, the acreage is down 600 acres from last year.
The crop has been planted and is making favorable growth. Weeding and thinning
is underw~y in most fields. Harvest is expected to start in late April. The
Texas acreage is expected to be 200 acres below last year. Soil conditions are
excellent in north Texas. Most growers expect to start transplanting about mid January and continue through February. I:q Georgia, the De cember cold dau:.aged
onions that had been planted. Plants are in sufficient supply and replanting will be necessary to secure good stands. The North Carolina acreage is expected
to be up slightly from last year.

Tomatoes: The Florida crop is forecast at 2.5 million cwt., one --fourth less than
last year. The .freeze of December 11 13 caused considerable damage but weather since has been excellent for recovery and vines have responded rapidly.
Watermelons: The late spring acreage is expected to total 72,000 acres for harvest, down one percent from last year. Early plantings in Florida were damaged by the December freeze.

GEORGIA'S 1963 TURK~Y NATION
Turkey growers in Georgia expect to produ~e 20 percent more turkeys in .1963 than in 1962 according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. If early January ~riten,. :
tions are carded out, a total 796;ooo birds will' be ra .ised in 1963 compared with
663,000 head last year. A breakdown by breeds shol!JS heavy breeds,696,000; and light breeds, 110,000.
UNITED. S-TATES: _-_Turkey growers intend to produce 3 percent more t_urk_eys ' in 1963
: than last ~ear. An increas, of .3 percent is planned for heavy
breeds, _with heavy. whites up 10 percent and othe_r heavy- breeds down I percent.
Present plans are to increase production of . light breeds by 2 percent. : If growers
carry out their intentions, about 94.4million turkeys will be raised, compa-red .
with 91.8 ml-11 ion in 1962. Increases of- 9 percent i"n the West North Central, .
6 percent In the South -Central, 5 percent in the East North Central and 1._ percent
In the South Atlantic regions more than offset the 7 percent decrease in the ~Jest~
Intentions to raise turkeys were about the s.ame as a year earlier in the North ,
Atlantic States.
,.
Growers intend to raise 85,571,000 he4vy breed turkeys in 1963- 3 percent
more than last - year. They plan to rai .se 3 ,430,000 heavy white breed turkeys,
compared with 31,268,000 in 1962, an increase of 10 percent. According to present
plans, heavy white breeds will account for about 40 pe,rcent of all heavies raised In 1963, compared. with 38 percent in 1962, and 34 perce~t in 1961. The expected
number of heavy whi-tes to be raised in 1963 is ' above last year .. ln all regions ex-
cept in -the North Atlantic and in the West. Growers p-lan to raise 51,141,000-
bronze and other heavy -breed turkeys tnis year, compared with 51,876,000 last year.
- a decrease of 1 percent.
Liqht breed g-rowers plan to raise 8,802,000 light breed turkeys in 1963 ":' up
. 2 percent . from Ja.st year.
__ ._
iy The humber of turkeys -actual raised in 1963 may vary somewhat from the
January I, 1963 intentions, the difference depending on growers' reactions to this report, prices of feed, supply and prices of hatching eggs and poults and prices received for turkeys durin g the next few months. Last January 1 growers intended to produce 12 percent fewer turkeys in 1962 than in 1961. The crop turned out to be 15 percent less than in 1961.
Testings of all heavy breed turkeys during the period July through December 1962 were down 3 percent from the correspondiny period of the previous year. Light breeds tested durin g July through December 1962 were up 21 percent from 1961. The 1963 breeder flock which appears to be about the same size as the previous year ' s flock, will permit turkey growers to expand output this year.

'
The Index of Prices Rece~ved by Georgia Farmers during the month ended
. ..l
January 15 r~se 1 point to 251 percent of ita 19:1:-0-14 average. : However, this represents a 3 -point drop from the mid-Jam.:ary index of a year ago. The All Crop Index rose J.- point to ~271 percent, . "bile the Livestock and L:i.vestock Products Index remained tae same at 209 percent.
I , .,
Slight increa.ses in prices received for co:::n, oats, soybeans and peanuts were primarily responsible for the higher crop ind~x. The price of corn advanced 3 cents to $1.31 per bushe'l; oats, 2 cents higher at $.90; soybeans, a nicker hi~er at $2.35; and ~eanuts at 10.9 cents per pound moved up .1 cent. Most of ' the other crops remained at the same level as a month earlier.
Higher p~ices recei ved for beef catt~, commercial broilers, and eggs were offset: by lower p:dces for hogs; calves, and turkeys. The price of all beef cattl~ . advanced 30 cents to $17.70 per cwt., while hogs dropped 70 cents to $15.30 and calves fell 30 cents to $22.70. Commercial broilers averaged 13.8 cents per pound, .2 cent higher, and eggs advanced 2.6 cents to 50.6 cents per
dozen. The price of wholesale milk remained the same as last month at $6.05 per cwt.

~ 'During the month ended January 15, the Index of Prices Received by Farmers rose. Ilearly 1 percent (2 points) to 244 percent of its 1910-14 average.. Generally higher prices for vegetables and oranges, following freeze damage in important producing areas, were primarily responsible. ~. Seasonally lower pri-ces for wholesale milk and cotton were partially offsetting. The January index was nearly l .-:Percent above a year earlier.
The Index of Prices Paid by Farmers for Commodities and Services 'including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates rose nearly 1 percent from the revised . l)ecember index of 309 to 3)..1 on January 15. This was a new hig:q. Most important :. . in the January increases 'ttel-e price advances for commodities, particularly those . of .an agricultural origin. Taxes, farm wage rates, and interest ~rges also were higher. The Inde~ was up 2 percent over January 1962. ~
With both farm product prices and prices paid by farmers higher than in December, the Parity Ratio remained at 78. This was 2 1/2 percent lower than in January last year.

Calf Crop Up Slightly
. The 1962 calf crop for Georgia is estimated at 613,000 head, an increase of 13,000 head above 1961, but 2 percent below the 5-year (1956-60) average of 625,000 head.
. Tbe.' number of cows and heift;!rs 2 years old and older increased 25,000 head
from 741,000 on January 1, 1961 to 766,000 head on January 1, 1962 However, the number of calves born in 1962 ex~ressed as a percent of the co~s and heifers 2 years old and older January 1, 1962 was 80 percent compared with 81 percent~ in ~961.
United States:
Calf Crop Up 3 Percent
' The 1962 calf crop for the United States was 41,026,000 head--3 percent' more than the 1961 calf crop of 40,019,000 head and was the fourth consecutive year of increase.
The increased calf crop in 1962, compared with the previous year, was pri-
marily the result of the larger :o.umber of cows and heifers on farmS. There . were 47,472,000 head of cows and heifers 2 years old and older January 1, 1962, compared with 46,463,000 head the same date for 1961. By January 1, 1963, the number had increase~ to 48,690,000 head.
The .number of calves born in 1962 expressed as a percent of the cows and heifers 2 years old and older January 1, 1962 was 86 percent, the same as a year earlier. This percentage is p.ot strictlY a calving rate because the January 1 i~yentory of cows and heifers 2 years old and over does not include all heifers that S@.V,.e_:QiJ'tb_ t .o calv13s d.ur.ing the_year and includes some- cows- t~t di.ed or were slaughtered before calving. This percentage is calculated to 'show trend in productivity over a period of time and may fluctuate from year to year because of variation in cow slaughter and trends in breeding herd replacement.
Southern States:
In the South Atlantic Region, 6 States had .larger calf crops in 1962 than in l::961. Florida showed the greatest increase in this region, Delaw.re w.s unchanged from a year e~rlier, and th~ ttaryland .calf crop de.clined 3 percent.
The South Central States had larger calf crops than in 1961, except
Mississippi, which was unchanged. Kentucky and ,Oklahoma., .both with a 6 percent
increase, showed the largest gains followed by Texas .and Tennessee, each up 5
percent from the previous year.

Th~ Inde~ ot' Prices Received by Farmers declined l percent (2 points) dur-
ing the month ended February 15 to 242 percent of its .1910-14 average. Lower prices for cattle and hog~ were primarily responsible. Partially offsetting were pr'ice increases for orariges, c::hickens, . eggs, and corn. The February index was slightly below' a year earlier.

Early Spring Cabbage Acreaee Down to harvest 3,000 acres of cabbage
lh
in
Percent - Georgia growers 1963. This compares with
eJ,iSooeoct
acres last year and a 5-year average (1957 - 61) of 3,5L.O acres. The, extremely
cold weather prevailing since December ha~ caused many growers to replant as many
as three times~ Stands and growth are repor~ed to be very irregular. Little or
no harvesting is expected before the second 1:reek in April.
UNITED STATES: Watermelons: Based on grower 1 s .intentions, 204, SGO acres of
watermelons are estimated for early summer harvest this year.
If these intentions are realized, the 1963 acreage will total almost the same as
last year but 13 percent belo~r average. Compared with 1962, a 5,000-acre
increase in Texas and small increases in North Carolina and Arkansas were offset
.
by a 2,500-acre decline in Georgia, 1,400-acre decline _in Alabama, and smaller declines in Mississippi, Arizona, and California. Land preparation .in the south
central and . south east has been at a standstill as cold, wet .weather held up
field operations. Planting is expected to be later than usual in most of these
States. In south Texas, much of the watermelon acreage that had germinateq was
killed by mid-Ii'ebruary freezes and was replanted. Planting and replanting was
almost complete in south Texas by March 1. Soil ~oisture is adequate for germina-
tion. In central and .east Texas, soil moisture supplies are satisfactory and
seeding will begin in early March. In Arizona, planting is virtually complete
and plants in earliest fields are up to good stand. In California planting,
which normally begins about February 20, vdll be later than usual.
Cabbage: Winter cabbage production is now forecast at 6,347,000
cwt., 6 percent above last year but 1 percent below average.
February movement in Florida was approximately 60 percent of last year but from an increased acreage. Harvest continues active in all producing areas. Quality and head size in the Sanford-Hastings area is improving gradually. In the Hastings area, intermittent low temperatures retarded development. In Texas, demand was brisk and harvest active. Early yields were generally good but are expected to be much lighter during 11arch and April because of the unfavorable growing v1eather in late January and February. Volume movement will continue from the Rio Grande Valley throue;h April with light supplies available in early May. The \rJinter Garden area will have moderate to light supplies into early }1ay. In Arizona, weather conditions were favorable and t emperatures generally above normal. Harvest is expected to continue into May. In California., volume is being cut in practically all central and south coastal growing area~ but the bulk of current supplies are _coming from the Imperial Valley where cutting is at peak.
The preliminary estimate of 11,750 acres for early spring harvest is 5 percent less than last year and 19 percent below average. Freeze losses in the southern States were exceptionally heavy. In Georgia, some grmvers have replanted three times because of the prolonged cold weather. In Alabama and Mississippi, growers are setting out late acreage and resetting fields
frozen earlier. In Louisiana, harvest is eXpected to begin about April 1, with the bulk of the crop to be harvested around 1'-'Iay 1.

ONLY BROILER PRODUCTION UP
LITTLE IN. 1962
The growth in broile.r production, which has been continuous since 1946, was almost arrested in 1962 because of extremely depressed prices to producers in 1961, . Liveweight production of t;..roilers grew at an annual average rate of about 23 percent in 1947-51, 12 percent in 1952-56, and 10 percent in 1957-61. In 1957-6.1_, year-to-year increases .varied between 4 and 16 percent.
In ~he !irst 3 quarters of 1962, the totalliveweight of young chic.kens
slaughtered under Federal inspection vias running 1 percent under the correspond-
ing year-earlier figu,re. However, an 11-percent increase in fourth-quarter
slaughter b9osted the 1962 total 2 perc~nt higher than in .l961. The 1962 year-
end spurt in output was triggered by continuatiol;l Q( relatively favorable broiler
prices after May. Broiler prices to U. S .produce.i's in June-September 1962 '.
ave~aged 15.2 cents per pound compared with .the re.cord-low average of 12.4 .
cents for the same months of 1961.
..
Annual broiler production in 22 3tates covered by weekly chick placement
reports showed essentially the same .change between 1961 and 1962 as Federally
inspected slaughter. The number of birds produced in these States last year
totaled 1, 875 million-up 32 million or 2 percent from the 1961 mark. In terms
of liveweight, output was up only 78 million pounds .or 1 percent, because the
average weight per bird was slightly lower-3. 39 pounds in 1962 compared with
3.41 in 1961 .These 2Z States produced about 9-Z percent of the Nation's broiler
meat in 1961.
I
From 1961 to 1962, most changes in liveweight broiler production by States were relatively small. Maryland showed t~e largest' .increase,_ 53 million pounds, and Indiana the largest decreaae, Z4 million pounds. Only 9 of the 22 States produced more broiler meat in 1962 than in 1961. The significant incre.ases were confined to 8 States, all of which were among the 9 top-ranking States . Maryland, North Car9lina, Arkansas, and Alabama recorded the greatest gains.
The. average price received for the 1962 production in the 22 States was
15.1 cents per pound liveweight-1.4 cents above the. l961 average. Gross
income f];"om product~on totaled. $963 million comp~:t~d, with $863 million in 1961.

.
HIGHER BROILER PRICES THAN IN 1962 LIKELY IN SECOND QUARTER
C!.. .:In the 3 m.onths ending this Feb~u.ar,y,. S. far'rri prices for broilers
averaged 1S. 0 .~ents per po~nd compared with 1S. 9 cents in the same months a year. e~rlier or a decline of 6 percent. Considering that Federally inspected slaughter of young chickens (liveweight) .d,uring this period showed a 14-percent incr,ease, broiler prices were well ma:lrii,a.ined.
,
.Because of lower prices and higher production'eXpenses since last fall, the seasonal rise in broiler production has been arrested in recent months~ Federally inspected broiler slaughter in the 4 weeks ending March 6 was above a year earlier by only 8 percent compared with 24 percent in January and 17 percent last December. From December 1962 through February 1963 broiler feed price ratios were at record-low levels for these months. For the 3 months, they averaged 3. 1 compared with 3. 4 for the same period a year earlier. Prices paid for broiler chicks also were higher, averaging 10. 8 cents each or 1 cent higher than in December 1961-February 1962. Recent hatchery activity suggests that the number of broilers going to market in March, April; and Ma.y may closely approximate vol1:1mes in these same months ~ast year. About the same number of b~oiler chicks were hatched in January . ~nd February as a. year earlier, and eggs in incubators on ~arch 1 were down 6 :~ercent. .~
Broiler prices to prod~cers in major southern production areas in mid March were quoted mostly at 14-1/2 cents per pound, about 1/2 cent lower than
both a year earlier and mid-February. However, prices may exceed the 1962 level in che second quarter, because the strong demand for broilers evident in
recent months is likely to continue and production will remain close to year-
earlier levels. Somewhat higher prices appear likely despite the prospect for greater competition than in 1962 f~om larger supplies of pork and beef an~ smaller broiler exports stemming from the Common Market trade regulatlons.
(Over)
-~-
Relatively favorable prices to broiler producers in the second quarter,
however, may encourage an expansion in production above the 1962. level in the
second half of 1963. If the increase is large, prices could ~op below a year
earlier late in 1963. Around mid-year, broiler hatching eggs may be a little
more plentiful than in mid... 19.6Z. Even"though few~r pUllet chicks than a year-
earlier have been placed domestically for broiler hatchery supply flocks in
recent months, the indi:cated size .of tbe Nation.s broiler hatchery flock will be
increasing relative to a year ago through July pecause of increased placements
in the preceding months . :Pullet chicks placed domestic~ly between July 1962.
and February 1963 totaled 17. 3 million compared with 16. 4 million i.n the same
months a year earlier.

S.HARPLY REDUCED BROILER EXPORTS 'rO COMMON MARKET
Total U. S. poultry .exports.. Jteached a new; high in 1962.. This occurred in the fi~st . half of the year, partly in anticipation 0f the imposition of new trade regulations by the Common Mar~e~. After mid-1962., these :regulations
greatly curtailed U. s. broiler sales to Europe. In 1962., exports of fresh and
frozen broil~rs totaled 173 million pounds . compared with 149 million in 1961 . , .
The new EEC trade regulations had a much more severe effect on broiler exports than on turkey expo.rts. Suc;li' a development would be expected, because tur~ey production within the Common Market and in Denmark is negligible. Total broiler exports in the. second half of 1962 dropped to 66 million pounds
compared with 107 million in the first half and 91 million in July-December 1961. Turkey exports were up from a year earlier by 7 million pounds in the first half and by 2. million in the second half of 1962. These changes were brought about almost entirely by developments in the Common Market; exports to other countries showed little year-to-year change in the last 6 months of 1962. In 1962, the EEC accounted for 113 million pounds or 65 percent of total U. S. broiler exports and Z9 million pounds or 78 percent of turkey exports. West Germany alone took 93 million pounds of broilers and 2.5 million pounds of turkeys.
After falling sharply from 25 million pounds ip June 1962 to 10 million
in July, shipments of broilers to the Common Market worked irregularly lower
to 2-1/2 million pounds in December. In January, total exports to all countries
were negligible, the result of the maritime strike which tied up shipping from
Maine to Texas for practically the whole month. The strike was settled by the
end of January, so aome pickup in exports, especially for turkeys, ha-s occur-
red since.
.
.
The situation in West Germany, our principal- foreign poultry market in
1962, illustrates the impact of the new EEC trade regulations. Total levies
against U. s. chicken increased from less than 5 cents per pound in early 1962
to about -IZ-1/2. cents in early 1963. Costs to West Germ~n importers were inflated by;like amounts and were only very slightly offset by a decrease . in the CIF price (landed price prior to payment of duties). Importers' total cost for broilers rose from 37 cents per pound to 44 and for turkeys from 41 cents to 52.. However, because wholescile prices for U. S. broilers in West Germany increased much lessthan costs to importers, or only from 40 cents per pound in early 196Z to 45 .cents in ea:rly .1963, the price margin for importers there was reduced to about 1 .cent per pound in early 19o3 from about 3 cents in early
1962~ U. s. broiler exports to W~st Germany have declineq because it has be-
come less profitable for importera to buy our birds. With. a reduced price in-
centive after mid-1962., these importers tended to buy supplies from other
member countries of the EEC o.r :from Denmark--or draw on the large accum-
ulation of U. s. poultry that had been acquired in anticipation of the new trade
regulations.
r 1 ': . ;
Following the imposition of the new poultry trade regulations, retail
and wholesale prices for U. S. broilers in West Germany did not rise as
rapidly as expected earlier.. Consequently, these regulations :bad a much more
restrictive impact on U. S. exports than anticipated. In !'~cent: months, retail
broiler prices in Wes't Germany have risen further above prices a year
earlier, but a t a rather slow rate.. Retail prices moved above: a year-earlier
level for the first time in October 1962. and in January 1963, at about 58 cents
per pound' were up about 3 cents from January 1962.. The contin1,1ation of
this trend wot;1ld be favorable for U S. broiler expo~ts, but cu~rent prospects
are for the volume of such exports to remain much below a year ago over the
next several months.

Intended Spring Plantings of Major Crops Up 2 Percen:t: Plans of the Nation's farmers, a~ . of March 1,
indicate a total of 263 million acres for the 17 crops covered b.Y the March 1 planting intenticns survey. This acreage. is 2 percent more than last year and 1
percent more than 1961. The acreage' of the crops surveyed in March usually accounts for about 85 percent of .~h.e ~ .crops1 total. If fanners carry out their plans for the 17 crops and all.owance is made for other crops not surveyed this March, the 1963 total planted acre~g.e of all crops would be the second smallest
of record, 2 percent more than last year's record low. Acreage estimates of
winter wheat _and rye are based on D_e.cember l, 1962 figures

percent. Harvest is active in ?'lorida and will begin in Texas by late April.
Lettuce: Early spring lettuce production, at 6. 9 million c~rt., is 2 percent below 1962. Arizona harvest is in full swing. Cutting in California is increasing in the southern producing counties and will move northward to the important ~alinas-Watsonville district about mid-April.
Onions: Texas early spring production, at 2.7 million cwt., is 2 percent above last year. Rio Grande Valley shipment will be past peak by mid-April. Movement from the Coastal Bend, Laredo, and the Winter Garden will increase during April.

was becoming short, especially in centr~l and southern counties. Plahting .Is -~ow
active in centra .l districts and urid~rway in the north.
. As of April 1, condition of this year's peacii crop average.d 79 percent, 3 per-

Early veg!!!~ are in good condition and grQwing well. Early spring cabbage
harvest has been delayed by cold weather, and volume Is not expected before late

Milk production in the State during March was estimated at 86 million pounds, compared with 89 mi 11 ion pounds a year ago and the 1957-61 .average of 90 mi 11 ion
pounds.
Eqgs produced on Georgia farms during March totaled 271 million, nearly 16 percent more than the 233 million laid in March 1962. Layers on hand at 14,490,000 compares with 12,566,000 and accounts for most of production increase.
United State~: The April 1 forecast of winter wheat production is less than the December 1 estimate because I imited winter precipitation left top-
soils too dry in parts of the Southern Plains States to revive acreage weakened by
extreme low temperatures. Farm stocks of feed grains on April 1 were 4 percent
smaller, wheat stocks were 7 percent less, and soybeans held on farms were 17 percent Jess than a year earlier. Southern peach prospects are better ~han last year, early spring vegetable supplies should be about th~ same, but more early potatoes ' are expected than a year earlier. Above normal temperatures over most of the Nation in late March provided an opportunity for farmers to 'bring spring work up to or ahead of the usual pace.
Prospective winter wheat production is less than indicated by the condition of the crop .as it went into the winter. The April 1 forecast of winter wheat production of 927 million bushels Is 14 percent more than last year, but 7 percent less than average. The expected yield per seeded ~ere of 22.0 bushels compares with 21.2 for 1962 and the 1957-61 average of 23.~ bushels per s~eded acre.
March egg production was 1 percent less than a year earlier as smaller production in the North Atlantic and North Central States more than offset increases in the rest of the Nation. The number of layers on farms averaged 1 percent less than during March a year ago, but rate of lay was about the same, Milk production in the United States during March was about I percent less than a year earlier but 1.5 percent, above the 1957-61 average for the month.

Prospects for the 1963 Southern peach crop are better than a year .1go in spite of exceptionally low winter tempera~ures in many areas. The April 1 condition of peaches was below a year earlier in the Carolinas and Alabama but was well above in the other 6 States1 where freezes caused a short 1962 crop~ In many orchards in the North Central end Hi.ddle Atlantic States winter kill of peach buds was heavy.

- CHICKE-N AND -EGG PROB-tf6'I'ION CONTINUES TO INCRE-ASE IN.GEORGIA IN l962
Commercial Broiler: Production of comme'rcial broilers in Georgia for
1962 set a new record high with a total of 353, 600; 000 birds. This was the 12th
consecutive yea~ that Georgia has led the nat ion in broiler production. Arkansas..
was the second r~ing state followed in order by Alabama, Nort h Carolina, .
Mississippi~ - and . Texa~. .
.
Gross income from broilers in Georgia in -1962 amount ed to $168, 031, 0.00. This is an increase of $11, 759, 000 over the 1961 income of $156, 272, 000 and still exceeds t he income from any other agricultural commodit y in the state.
Egg Production: Egg production 'in GeQrgia in 1962 was more than double the production six years earlier in 1956. New records are being set each year in nu~ber of layers and in egg product ion.
. Production of eggs is becoming more specialized, the layer production
units ar~ becoming larger and the smaller units are either discontinuing
operations or are becoming much larger. The number of farm flocks of less
than 400 birds have steadily declined for the past twenty years.
. ..
. The e.stimates for 1962 are an average number of layers during the year
of 1Z, 429, 000 and 208 eggs per layer during the year for a tot al production of .
2, 583,000, 000 eggs. The average price for all eggs in Georgia was 43.8 cents
per dozen.and the Z, 495, 000, 000 .eggs that were sold .resUlted in cash receipts
of $91,068, 000. The value of eggs c;onswned in farm household of $3, 212,00.0
added to' the cash .receipts results in a gross income ef $94, 2 80, 000. The
average price of Georgia eggs is considerably above the average in other states
and the nation since a significant part of Georgia's egg prod~ction is used ~n
producing chicks fo'r the broiler industry and -these eggs sell for a higherprice
than do eggs used for human consurpption.
Ge.orgUi ranked 4th in the nation in gross income from eggs behind
California, Pennsylvania, and Iowa. _ In 1950 th,e gr_oss income from eggs in
Georgia was estimat ed at $25, 645, 000 which was Z6th in the nation. In 1955
gross income had reached $52, 765,000 for 15t-h place in the nat ion and in 1960
$89,089,000 for 4th place. When the value of farm chickens sold and used in
the farm household of $6, 887, 000 is added to the gross income from eggs of
$94,280, 000 the resulting $101, 167,000 for the egg production enterprise will
exceed the 1962 value of any other agricultural enterprise in the stat e except
commercial broiler.
. Chicken and ~ggs: Gross income (cash receipts plus value of home consumption) from a l chickens and eggs including commercial broilers was ~
$269, 198, 000 in Georgia for the =. year 1962. This was the 6th year Georgia has led the natio:p. in gross income from all chickens and eggs. California was the .second ranking state with $219,406, 000 followed by North Carolina with $181, Z13. 000 and Alabama with $163, 913, 000.
For this project State funds were matched with Federal funds received from the Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA, under provisions of t he Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946.

with 11, 766,000 the previous wee-k d is 7 percent more than the 10, 810, 000 for
the corresponding week last year.
' The majority of tpe ,- p~ices paid for Georgia produc~d broiler hatching eggs
vJas reported within a range of 5.5 to 70 cents per .dozen with an average of 62
ceJltsfor all hat ching .eggs and 60 cents ' for eggs purchased at the farm from
.: flocks with hatchery owned cockerels. Most prices charged for broiler chicks
... were report ed within a range of $7.00 to $10.00 with an average of $9.00 per
hundred. The average prices last ye~r were 46 cents for eggs and $7. 00 for
chicks.

. ((:,$'upplement to ~p:rj.l ,Z6, 1963 .Summary) Released 5-13-63
The production of eggs' in Georgia falls into 'three rathe1 distinct .._ - -
r segments. (1). Commercial Flocks: 400 bil-ds or' m<;>re per flock, eggs .. pr~ncipally for human consumptlon. (~) ..Ha\ching' Egg Flocks: Eggs used . principally for hatching broiler' chi.cks, and {3 Farm Flocks: Less than 400 . birds per flock, eggs principally fo.r human COI;lSUmption. These three segments. . are so dissimiliar that estim'ates of their entirety are not very mea~ingfulto . ' the industry. In 1962., a program was instituted in the state whereby separate estimates of each of these segments were prepared so as to provide more. valuable data for those interested in all phases of the .egg production ..enterprise.
Commercial Flocks: It is estimated that the average num,ber of layers
in commercial flocks in 1962 was 7, 425, 000 or about 60% of the total number
of layers in the -state. These flocks averaged 2.18 eggs per layer fo_r _a total.. . . production of ~. 6ZO, 000, 000 eggs which wa~ about. 63% of the state's production., Cash receipts from commercial flock eggs is esti~ated at about SZ million . d9llars. Commercial egg production has increased significantly ~n..the last deca~~ and is becoming an important part of Georgia's agricultural eco~omy.
to : . Hatching Egg Flocks: Hatchi~g egg flocks wer~ developed furnish
hatching eggs to produce chicks for the giant broiler production in~!Jstry in the
state. This development is,of rather recent origin and it is probable that only
within the last 5 years that Georgia became self- sufficient 1n the production
of .hatching eggs. Now a considerable number' of hatching eggs are sent to .'
other states and some are e:::ported overseas .In 1962, the estimates for
hatching egg flocks indicate that there were an average of 3, 409, 000 layers
in these flocks that pX'oduced 686,000,000 eggs of which 615,000, 000 were
used for hatching, 2., 000, 000 consumed on farms when produced, and
69, 000, 000 were sold in commercial channels. Cash receipts from hat~hing
egg. flock eggs ~r.e estimated at about 3Z million dollars.
.
.
~'""arm Flocks: The number of farm flocks and the number of birds 'in
these flocks have declined almost steadily for the p~st .decade or so .and in .
1962 it is estimated that the average number of layers in these flocks is
1, 595, 000. The production from farm flocks was the least of the thre.e segme11.ts
with an average of 174 eggs per layer and a total production of 277, 000, 000
eggs of which 83, 000, 000 were consumed on farms where produced and
194, 000, 000 were sold in commercial channels.
For this project State funds were matched with Federal funds received from the Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA, under provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946.

ONIONS: Prospects for the late spring bnii0ik~ap are for a production of
1,597,000 hundredweight, 14 percent below the 1962 crop and 29 percent
below the 5-year, 1957-61 average. less production than last year is expected in
all States except Georgia, where an increase is indicated. The total late spring
acreage, at 6,400 acres for 1963, is 23 percent below 1962. A higher average
yield per acre is expected this year--250 hundredweight against 221 for 1962. In
North Carolina, fields are in fair to good condition. The cool weather hurt
stands in Georgia. Grower, are irrigating fields to offset the dry weather.
Favorable weather during April in Texas more than offset losses in stands caused
by the cold, dry weather e~lier in the season. Harvest is expected from mid-May
to mid-June.

The condition of the young crop was good. In Georgia, growing conditions have
b-::~n good in all areas. Moat vines were blocming and setting a good crop. Har-
ve:.~-t was expected to become general the last week of May. In Mississippi, trans-
p~mting was canpleted and plants were making good _progress. ~e condition of
tomatoes in Louisiana ranged trcm fair to good. In ~exas, planting was practi-

9,378,000 hundredweight:, practic~ the seme as the 1962 crop of
9,3721000 hundredweight
.. Harvest in south Florida was active with volume shipments occurring in late April and peak movement the first part of May. Harvest in tlle south central
area v.l.ll begin in early May and in north central by late May. Heavy shipll8nts
fran the north central area were expected about the first week ot June. Harvest
in t!t, Gainesville area was expected to start .in late May with lleavy shipments
abo~ mid-June. In the Live Oak and west Florida areas, harvest should start in late _June.
.. Growers of earl.y summer watermelons have 2011 200 acres for harvest--2 percent below both the intentions reported in March and the 1962 acreage. Acreage
is 14. percent below average. Larger acreages than in 1962 are expected in Oklab<D- and Arizona; smaller acre88es in North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas,

The laW1 dry spring has delayed planting in Mississippi. Stands were gener~ goocl. In Arkansas planting hu been ~layed

difficulty. Tbe crop in Louisiana was up and generally was_ in _so~ condition.
Orowen :in Oklallala planted mos""t or -'tlleir acreage ifter rains ot late April. In
south.!exas1 production fran dryland acreage will be small. Melons on irrigated acreage havemade satisfactory progress and light harvest was ex:pectecl about mid-
May. -> Most central areas bave adequate soil moisture. Plante are bloallins and setting fruit. Planting was nearly caaplete in east and north Texu.
ctnJ.fBERSz Late spring production., is forecast at 11 1001 000 b'I.1DClreClwight, l6 - . . percent above last year a:o4 6 ~reent greater than average. A lai'ge
increase ~ in South Carolina production over a year ago, coupled with slight iP.
creasa ' 1D Georgia and Alabama, more than offset decreases in NQrth Carolina; Louisianai and California. Early planted cucumbers in South c.Jooli~ were aett~
bl.ooms and peak movement was expected the second week in June. Light marketing was expected ~!about mid-May in Georgia. Conditions in Alabama were f'avorab,le at __planting time but dey weather in late April slowed developaent. In Louisi$08,
many staods were uneVen because of dry weather when the crop germ:illated. Rain vas needed for favorable development. Picking of ~e" 1a increasing in San Diego County1 California. Heavy vol.lae was expected 'Qy l&te May as. harvest begins in other soutbern coastal. counties and in the southern San Joaquin Valley.

GENERAL CROP. ' REPORT- AS OF .~AY 1, 1963
. . .. . , ,
.. Planting of crops in - Georgia wa~ w~ll aheacl of ~ormal on Hay 1. Lack of
moistloire in April and cool temperature::t lo\'fered se~d germtna_tion, of some plant.ings
and considerable reseeding has been nece,s~ry. 'At the beginning of the month, four-
fifths of the corn and totton acreag' wu seeded. Two-thirds of the ccmnerCI.al
peanuts had been seeded at that da~e -' ~nd spybean p'~ntlng was ; getting underway In
southern counties, . . .
.
PEACH PROSPECTS UP: Georgia's 1993 peach crpp Is forecast at 5,500,000 bushels,
- a mn non 6usffirt~ more ff'an ~rro~ s ye he- e-st--tmate
of production includes both farm and . c~rcJal peaches. rrogr~ss of the crop Is
. generally good . Light harvest has ~~~r~ed from ectrly .varietie$ ln southern areas
Ba'sed on past reiationshlp between tnspecte.d ~nlpments a.nd tot'al production,
ran and truck movement from this year's crop coul,d. vary :from 43 to 67 percent of
total production. Last year 43 percent of product;ton moved by Inspected rail and
truck, compared with th~ 1956-62 average of 48 percent.
~T PRODUCTION UP: Production ,of wheat In Georgia this year is currently fore-
. : cast at 1,265,0QO bushels. This compares with 1,175,000 bushels produced- last year and an averaye ha~ves.t (1957.. 61) of ' 2,059,000 bushels. A larger acreage Is responsible for the production lncreas~ as ~ields, estimated at 23 bushels per -acr.e, we.re J.owered by.. the extrem~ly cold winter.
MILK PRODUCTION: Milk production d~rJng April Is esti~ated at ~7 million pounds,
down 1 ml11ion pounds from April 1962, but I million more than
produced this March,
; .
EGG PRODUCTION: Hens on Georg.fa.farms laid an estimated 272 .mlllion eggs during April, compared with 224 mfll ton du.dng the same month last year.
-The increase fn production results from an increase of approximately 21- million layers over the- number on -hand a year earl.l.er.

GEORGIA CIDCK HATCHERY REl?ORT
Athens, Ga., June 12, 1963--A tot of 8, 102, 000 broiler chickswas
placed with producers in Georgia during the week ending June 8 according.to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This compares with the 8, 243, 000 p1a~ed the previous week and is 3 percent more than the 7, 854, 000 placed the same week last year.
Bro-He r-e-ggs se-t"-b-y Geor gia hat cheries am-ounted -t o 1o-, 732, 000 - compa-red
with 10, 822, 000 t he previous week a~+d is 6 percent more than the 10, 088, .000 for
the corresponding week last year.
The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching
eggs was reported within a range of 50 to 70 cents per dozen with an average of 61 .cents fo~ all hatching eggs and 59 cent s for eggs purchased at the farm from
flocks with hatchery owned cockerels.* Most prices charged for broiler cJ;licks were reported within a range of $7. 00 to $9. 50 with an average of $8. 50 per hundred. The average prices last year were 51 cents fo~ eggs and $7.75 for chicks.
The average price from the F ederal-State Market News Service for br~ilers during the week ending June 8 was 15.25 cents per pound fob plant. This compares with 15.90 cents the previous week and 14. 73 cents the same week last year.

May Egg .ProdU.ctibn Record High: Egg production on Georgia farms during May
is estimated at 275 million, up 3 million from the previous month. Production was up sharply f~om a year earlier as a result of an increase in both the number of layers and rate of lay. Layers on hand during M~y averaged 14,496,000 compared with 11,719, 000 a ye~r. earl~e~;
Mi-lk Pz-ciduction liicreased Seasonally: Milk production in Georgia during May
is estimated at 90 million pounds, up seasonally from the 87 million pounds produced the previous month. Production this May was 3 million pounds more than produced in May 1962.
General Crop Report for the United S~ As of June l, 1963
Prospects for winter wheat declined during May because of continued dry weather in parts of the Central Plains and frosts in the Northern Plains areas. However, the expected output is still 5 per~~nt larger than last year. Spring wheat production is indicated to be less than the large 1962 crop. Seeding of row crops made good progress during May. Hay and pasture crops show below average June l prospects. Frosts reduced prospects for fruit crops in the producing areas from Virginia northward.
Winter Wheat Down 3 Percent From May 1: Expected production of winter wheat for 1963 dropped for the second
month because rainfall came too late in the area centering around southwestern Kansas, southeastern Colorado, northeastern New Mexico and the Panhandle nrea of Oklahoma and Texas. Additional acreage was abandoned during May in this critically dry area. However, rains the latter h&lf of May improved pros~ects on acreage outside of the severe drought area. Frost on May 20-22 caught winter wheat in the blooming stage in South Dakota and Nebraska and sharply reduced yield prospects in many fields. In the central Corn Belt States, winter wheat developed satisfactorily. Indicated production for the 1963 winter wheat crop is 855 million bushels, 3 percent smaller than last month's forecast, 5 percent larger than the 1962 total, but 14 percent less than average.

General Crop Report for the United States As of June l, 1963, continued: '!
Peaches: The Nation's 1963 peach crop is estimated at 73.8 mi~ion bushels, 3 percent be~ow last ye~, ; percent below 1961, but 2 percent
above average. A crop of this size would .be the smallest crop since 1958. Excluding the California Clingstone crop, which is mainly for canning, the remainder of the U. S. crop is forecast at 42.0 million bushels, down 7 percent from last year and 12 percent below average.
or Production in the 9 Southern States is now forecast at 18,170,000 bushels, up
605,000 bushels, more than 3 percent from the May 1 forecast, and 22 percent above 1962. Each of these States expects a crop as large or larger than in 1962. Large increa~es are expected in Arkansas and Texas 'Where the 1962 crop was short.
Georgi_a expects a crop of 5,8oo,ooo busnels, up 29 percent from last year and the
largest crop since 1945. South Carolina's prospects increased during May despite some heavy losses from hail storms.
Milk Production: May milk production in the United States was 12,295 million pounds--1 percent below both a year earlier and the
1957-61 average for the month. Cumulative production January through May of 1963 was 1 percent below the corresponding period last year but 1 percent above the 5-year average for the period.
Poultry and Egg Production: Farm flocks in the United States (50 States) produced 5,727 million eggs during May, c_om-
pared .with 5, 728 million during Mey 1962. Decreases of ll percent in the West North Centxal and- 6 pel:cellt ...i the Eas:LNortb. _Central...of:f'.se.t incr.~es_of..ll per-

Aggregate egg production, January through May, was 1 percent below the same months last year.

GEORGIA: .
.
Vegetable crops in central and southern areas of the State made good progress
in .9.i-owth and maturity during May. Most spring planted vegetables and melons are
a we~~ to ten days earlier than last year. Harvest of good quality tomatoes ' began
in late May and Is expected to become general by June 1. Cantaloups and .water-
melons have made rapid growth and some marketings started around June I~
UNITED STATES: Spring vegetable and ~melon supplies are expec~ed to total 52~5 million hun-
dredweight (cwt.), 5 percent above last ~ear and 4 percent above average.
SNAP BEANS: The mid-spring snap bean production is estimated at 320,000 cwi.,. 11 percent below the May I forecast and 2 percent below .thel962
harvest. Reductions during May were quite general with Alabama the only State showing. the same prospects as a month ago. Yields In the coastal areas of South Carolina have been !:JOOd but dry weather and a hail storm cut prospective yields in 'the Holly Hill area. Dry weather reduced prospects in Georgia, Misslsslppl, and Louisiana. Late May rains are not expected to bring much Improvement. Picking is .nearlng completion In most areas.
CANTALOUPS: The f,irst estimate of early summer cantaloups places production at 463,000 cwt., 26 percent less than 1962 and 36 percent less
than average.. Most of the decline occurred in Arizona where acreage was less :than one-third of last year. Central Arizona cantaloups showed !:JOOd progress to June I. Harv~st is expected to start about June 20-25. Prospects as of June I Indicated
an excellent crop In Georgia. Harvest was expected the first week in June In southern areas. In the important Cordele area vine growth and fruit set are good. Harvest will begin In this area about mid-June. The South Carolina crop is In
good condition but p~ak movement is not expected until July.
SWEET CORN: ..The- fln<fl forecast . of the~ sprln9 sweet corn ctop i s for aproduction of 846,000 cwt., 19 percent greater than in 1962and
5 percent above average . In Cal lfornla, harvest was at a peak on June I on the large Coachella Valley acrea ge while harvest of the Blythe acreage was starting. Harvest will begin In the Arvin-Wheeler Ridge district during the last half 6f ~ June. In Alabama, little sweet corn has been pulled In Baldwin County because of the lack of rain In May. In Georgia, weather conditions have been favorable and record yields are Indicated. Harvest star.ted June I and is expected to reach Its peak In about two weeks. South Carolina's sweet corn prospects were 'boosted by recent showers. Heaviest movement is expected the last week of June.
CUCU.MBERS: The final forecast of the~ spring crop, at 1,094,000 cwt. , is 15 percent more than last year and 6 percent above average. The
North Carolina crop is In good .condition. Har.vest will be a I ittle later than usual. Harvest in the Beaufort area of South Carolina was in ful'l swing the last week of May. Peak ~ovement is expected abQut June 10-15. Late planted cucumbers are in much better condition than the earlier pl~ntlngs. Har~est in ~eorgla has passed the peak. Only I ight movement was. expected In the central areas through June 10. Li ght harvest has started .In Alabama. In Louisiana:, picking started about mid-May and is expected to continue until mid-June. Most of the current California shipments are coming from San Diego County. Picking Is also underway In the southern San Joaquin Valley. Volume from these areas will decline during June and harvest will begin In the coastal areas.
ONIONS: The final forecast of the~ sprln9 crop places production at 1,718,000 cwt., 7 percent below last year and 23 percent below aver-
age. In California, harvest is active In all major districts with most supplies coming from the desert areas. Pull lng in Kern County and in the Stockton district got underway in May and heavy movement Is expected by the end of June, Harvest is complete In the Yuma area of Arizona and Is in full swing In the Salt River Valley. Quality has been good and supplies are expected to be available through mid-June. Rain and scattered hail In the north Texas area the last half of May reduced yield prospects and delayed harvest. Pulling was resumed the firs~ of June and will continue active through mid-month. Harvest in Georgia was completed In late May. \~eather condltlons In North Carolina were favorable during May and good yields are In prospect.

TOMATOES: Late spring production of. I ,241,000 cwt. is 42 percent la.rger than last year's light c r:Qp and 14 percent greater than average.;
Most of the increase is in South Carolina where vine growth is excellent and the set of frult is good.. Harvest was expected to begin the first week In June . -': with peak movement expected in the Coastal area about June 20. In other South Carolina areas, peak movement wi11 be about July.. l. In Geor.gia, harvest was underway June 1 with a record yield indicated. Q.ual ity Is good and crown set is the best in many years. Dry weather in Copiah county, Mississippi reduced yield prospects. Movement there should start the first week in June. In Louisiana, har~estl:

LUPINE SE TJD FORECAST RECORD LOW LUPINE SEED PRODUCTION
GEORGIA: The severe cold weather during the "i'Iinter months killed the majority of the lupine seeded last fall in Georgiaf Most of the acreage seeded
for .the second time' was completely .\tilled :or damaged.
The 1963 GBorgia lupine seed production is forecast at 220,000 pounds com- . pared with 1,600,000 pounds in 1962. The record production tvas in 1950 with 140 .
million pounds. Acreage harvested in 1963 is estimated at 400 compared with 2,000 last year. Yield per acre of 550 pounds was 284 pounds below average.
Blue lupine seed production amounted to 154,000 pounds and sweet lupine accounted for 66,000 pounds.
UNITED STATES: 1963 lupine seed product-ion is forecast at 3,708,000 pounds. This is 3L~ percent less than the 1962 production of 5,635,000 pounds,
and the smallest of record, dating back to 1943. Compared with last year, acreage harvested will be down 28 percent, while yield is eA~ected to be down 8 percent.
Unusually cold weather killed much of the lupine seeded last fall, and caused severe damage in other fields. Some replanting was donel but much of this was also killed. The expected yield of 608 pounds per acre is 8 percent below 1962, and 18 percent below the 1957-61 average.
Production of both blue and sweet lupine will b~ below last year's levels. The prospective crop consists of 2,978,000 pounds of blue lupine and 730,000 pounds of ~1eet lupine. Estimates for 1962 are 3,689,000 pounds of blue and 1,946,000 pounds of sweet lupine.
Carryover of old-crop lupine seed by farmers is estimated at 56,000 pounds, compared with 465,000 pounds carried over a year earlier. A report of June 30, 1963, carryover of old seed by dealers will be ~eleased on August 6, 1963.
No lupine seed was imported between July 1, 1962 - and Nay 31, 1963. Last year, 1,000 pounds of blue lupine were imported during the comparable period.

Smallest Crimson Clover Seed Production in Twenty Years
GEORGIA: The 1963 crimson clover seed production in Georgia is forecast at 100,000 pounds compared with 1,560,000 pounds in 1962. The current
crop is the smallest production since 1942. The 1963 crop consisted of 525,000 pounds of the Dixie Variety and 175,000 pounds of other varieties. The decline in production is due to smaller acreage and lower yield per acre.
Unfavorable weather conditions were largely responsible for the reduction in
the crop. The severe cold weather delayed the growth of winter pastures and many
growers grazed their clover too late for good seed production. Acreage harvested was 7,000 compared with 12,000 last year. Yield per acre of 100 pounds is 30 pounds . below the 1962 yield.
UNITED STATES: Crimson clover seed production in the Southern States this year is forecast at 3,"649,000 pounds, 29 percent less than the 1962 crop.
Reseeding varieties such as Dixie, Autauga, and Auburn are expected to total 1,962,000 pounds, compared with 3,096,000 pounds last year.
Unfavorable weather was a-major factor .inreducing acreage harvested in all five 5tates. Winter pastures were slow developing, and cattle feed was in short supply. Many growers allowed their clover to be grazed so late that the crop did not make enough seed to justify harvesting. The total of 27,900 acres harvested for seed is 25 percent less than last year's 37,000 acres and 52 percent below the 5-year (1957-61) average.
In addition to the severe winter, dry spring weather contributed to reduced yields. Arkansas is the only State 1.vhere the yield per acre is expected to be above the 1962 level. For the five State area, the indicated yield of 131 pounds per acre compares vji th 138 pounds last year and the 5-year average of 138 pounds.
Harvest of crimson clover seed was slightly earlier than last year and about 6 days earlier than usual. Average beginning dates of harvest this year were: Ylay 15 in Nississippi, Nay 18 in Georgia, Hay 22 in Alabama, May 26 in Arkansas, and June 3 in Tennessee.
Carryover of old-crop crimson clover seed by 'growers in the Southern States is estimated at 181,000 pounds, 41 percent less than last year's carryover of 305,000 pounds. A report covering June 30, 1963 stocks of old seed held by dealers will be issued on August 6, 1963.
No crimson clover wa~ , imported bet111een July ' 1, 1962 and May 31, '1963. Last year, 331,200 pounds were imported during a comparable period.
A forecast of the late harvested crimson clover seed crop in Oregon is scheduled for release August 7.

1,620,000 pounds compared with the short 1962 production of 540,000 pounds. Weather conditions were favorable for good growth, and yields were above last season. Frequent rains the last half of June delayed harvest and caused . some shattering. The acreage harvested for seed is estimated at 9,000 compared with 4,500 in 1962. Yield per acre of' 180 pounds is 60 pounds above last year, but 16 pounds below the 1957-61 average'.
This year t:s production of tall fescue seed in nine Southern States is fore.~ast at 27,550,000 pounds, acco~ding to the Crop Reporting Board. This is a . fourth more than the 1962 crop of 21,583,000 pounds, but slight}~ below the 5-year average.
Higher prices and steady demand in late 1962, and a reduced carryover were -factol's. C()J.1trib~~~ 1:t.P'f,.i,:r:~prlased~)?!9d:Uct~o71 _in all States. A severe winter and late grazing tended to limit seed produc:!'i~ion. ~owevel'-i many grQW~:Pi> :~v~..sted seed who had not done so for several years. Heavy winds and rain during the harvest period caused so~e shattering.
A total of 150,000 acres was harvested, compared with 119,100 acres last year and the average of 131,940 acres. Acreage saved for seed was up in each State except Alabama. This year's indicated yield of 184 pounds per acre compares with 181 pounds realized in 1962, and the average of 210 pounds.
Harvest of this year's tall fescue seed was about a day earlier than last year and about a week earli er than usual. Average beginning dates of harvest were: June 10 in Mississippi, June 13 in Georgia and Oklahoma, June 14 in South Carolina and Arkansas, June 16-17 in Alabama and Tennessee, and June 20 in Missouri and Kentucky.
Carryover of old-crop seed by growers in the 9-State area totaled 330,000 pounds, compared with last year's holdings of 1,062,000 pounds and the average of
1,719, 000 pounds. Dealers' carryover for the U. s. will be published in the
August 6 report.
Imports of tall fescue seed between July 1, 1962 and May 31, 1963 totaled 110,600 pounds--43,200 Argentina, 37,700 Netherlands (U. S. seed returned); 2');.700 Canada. No seed '\-Tas imported during the 1962 crop year. Export data are not available.
The fore~ast of the late harve sted tall fescue seed crop in the Pacific Northwest will be included in a report issued on August 12.

Crop prospects on July 1 were varied but generally good. Excessive rains over the State during the second half of June damaged maturing vegetables -and
melons, tobacco plantings in locali zed areas, and unharvested grain. Offsetting these losses, however, were improved conditions of corn, peanuts, and pastures.
Quality of maturing peaches was lo"'I-Tered, but the rains supplied needed moisture for growth and sizing of late maturing variet~es. The prolonged rainy period kept farmers out of their fields and ~llowed grass to get ahead of many young crops, especially those in the northern half of 'the State.
TOBACCO YIELD ESTIMATED AT ,940 POUNDS: An excellent tobacco e:POp was expe.cted
before the rains during the last half of June. The crop is still very good, but exc~ssive rains damaged some plantings in local areas. This year's flue-cured crop is expected to yield 1,940 pounds per acre, 35 pounds less than last year's record. The allotted acreage this year was lowered and resulted in a reduction of 3,500 acres from the 74,000_acres harvested in 1962. Produ~tion from the 70,50c acres for harvest this year is forecast at 136,700, 000 pounds compared with 146,150,000 pounds in 1962 and a 1957-61 average of 108,195,000 pounds.
CORN PROSPECTS UP: An excellent corn crop was indicated on July 1. Production
for grain at 57,528,000 bushels compares with last year's
50,160,000 bushels and the -1957..61 average of 60,697,000 bushels. Acreage to be
harvested for grain at 1,692, 000 is unchanged from last year but yield per acre,
at 34 bushels, is 4 bushels more than. produced in 1962. The June rains greatly
improved older plantings that .were beginping to hurt from lack of moisture.Some
bottom-land plantings, however, were damaged by .the rains and the prolonged wet
period allowed many young plantings in the northern part of the State to become
grassy.
WHEAT YIELDS GOOD: Georgia's 1963 wheat crop is estimated at 1,566,000 bushels, up sharply from last year's production of 1,175,000 bushels,
but below the 1957-61 average of 2,059,000 bushels. ~oth acreage for harvest and yield were up and account for the production increase. In 1962, a total of 47,000 acres were harvested and the crop yielded 25 bushels per acre. This year's production came from 58,000 acres with an average .yield of 27 bushels per acre.
PEACH PRODUCTION FORECAST AT 5, 800,000 BUSHELS: Production of peaches in Georgia
this year i& estimated at
5, 800,000 bushels, the same as estimated a month earli er. Total production is up
sharply from last year's 4,500, 000 bushels. The Federal-State Market News Service
repor ted 3,549 equivalent carlots of peaches shipped from Georgia through July 10 .
Shipments dur~ng. ~he . sameJ p~~ iod l ast ,l ear totaled 3,199 cars.

,UNITED STATES CROP S~-1MARY AS OF JULY 1, 1963
~op acreage tor harvest is expected ..to expand in 1963, but crop production
prospects depend to a great~r exteut than usual on growing conditions through the remainder ot the season. Increased wheat allotments and less acreage diversion under the:' Feed G~in Program are responeible tor much pf the acreage increase over 1962. Feed grain production is expected to be larger than ~st year with -food grains showing a smaller upswing. Soybean acreage expanded to a new record. Spring
work progressed rapidly and crop progress i.~ normal or better on July 1.
Crop acreages planted for harvest in 1963 total 309 million acres--2 percent more than the record low of 302 million pl&ri~ed last year. A 10 -percent increase in wheat allotments and a smaller acreage e!Sned for diversion under the Feed Grain Program were major factors in the acreage ~xpansion; .
The current estimate of total acreage _for harvest in 1963 is 291 million acres - l percent greater than the record low of last year. Changes in harvested acreages from last year follow a pattern similar to that of planted acreages. However, an unusual.l large abandonment of winter wheat and rye acreage held the increase in harvested acreage at a lower level than the planted acreage change.
COFL~: Corn for grain production in 1963 is now expected to total 3.8 billion bushels -- 6 percent more than in each ot the previous two years. A crop
of this size would be 8 percent larger than average, but 2 percent less than the record 196o crop. The expected acreage of corn tor grain ot 60.9 million acres is
7 percent more than last year's acreage. A smaller acreage was signed tor diver-
sion from corn production under the Feed Grain program in 1963 than in 1962. The 1963 crop was planted under generally favorable conditions and farmers in most areas were able to seed all the acreage plapned. Early season prospects indicate a 1963 yield of 63.2 b~els per acre compared with the record ot 64.1 bushels last year.
PEA..llffiTS: The 1963 acreage ot pean~ts planted alone for all purposes is estimated at 1,518,300 acres, 1 percent less than the 1,530,600 acres grown alone
last year and 7 percent below the average ot 1, 625., 000 acres. This estimate includes peanuts grown alone for picki ng and threshing, hogging off, and other purposes.
TOBACCO: Flue-cured tobacco is forecast _at 1,341 miliion pounds, 5 percent be-
low the l,4o8 million pounds produced last year, but 19 percent above the average. The combined average yield:expected for bright leaf types is- 1,933
pounds, slightly above the 1962 crop yield .'of 1,930 pounds per acre, and 16 per-
cent above the average yield. Reflecting the decrease in allotments, the estima-
ted 693,6o0 acres of flue-cured for harvest is 5 percent below 1962 but nearly
2 percent above the 5-year average.

ee.d DoYn 21 Perceut From Last Y. ear
On July. 1 there were 38,000 .cattle and calves on grain feed for slaughter market in Georgia. This was 21 percent below the 48,000 head on feed July 1 1ast year, and 17 ~ercent below th~ 46,000 on feed April 1, 1963.
A total of 27,000 grain-fed cattle and calves was sold for slaughter during the ~eriod April 1 through June 30. This was the same as marketings for the comparable period in 1962.. Cattle and calves placed on feed during the Apri~ June quarter, at 19, 000, was up sharply from the 8, 000 for the- same quarter last
year.
Cattle feeders report that they intend to market a total of 20,000 head during July, August, and September this year. The remaining 18,000 cattle and calves on feed are expected to be marketed after September 30, 1963.
Of the total cattle and calves on feed April 1, 18,000 had been on feed less than 3 months. A total of 13,000 head bad been on feed from 3 to 6 months and the remaining 7,000 head had been on feed more than 6 months. Of the 38,000 head, 34,000 were steers and 4,000 were heifers.
28 MAJOR FEEDmG STATES
Cattle on Feed 11 Percent Higher
There were 6,830,000 cattle and calves on feed for the slaughter market July 1 in the 28 major feeding States. This number was 11 percent more than a year earlier, but down seasonally from the 8,128,000 on feed April 1 of this year. Increases were shown in all weight groups with cattle weighing over 900 pounds up 17 percent from July 1 last year. Steers and steer calves on feed accounted for
most of the increase in cattle on feed over a year earlier.
There were 2,596,000 cattle and calves placed on feed April through June 6 percent more than for this period in 1962. Placements were up 17 percent in the North Central States but down 9 percent in the Western States. Shipments
of stocker and feeder cattle into 8 .Corn Belt States during April and May were 3 percent more than for these two months last year. During the April-June period
3,894,000 fed cattle were marketed for slaughter -- 1 percent more than during this period in 1962. Marketings were up 3 percent in the North Central region and up 13 percent in the \Vestern States.
Cattle feeders in the 28 States intend to market 3,792,000 bead or 56 percent of the July 1 inventory during July, August, and September, 9 percent
above comparable marketings in the same period last year. A breakdown of anti-
cipated July-September marketings shows 28 percent to be marketed in July, 34 percent in August, and 38 percent in September.

miOI-LER HATe,!:WRY SUPPLY FLOCKS ..' .
Indications of the size of the Nation's hatch~ry ~upply flocks ar.e possible
with a relatively small 'degre"e of 'err'cir ''sii' months in advan0e oy projecting the
pullet pl;acement by primary breeders ba~?ed on the. .relationship in prior . ye_ar-s --
between the pullet .placements- and -the chickens t ested under the PIP. In these
indications~ it is assumed that chickens are tested at six months of age and that they then are a component of the supply flocks -for 8 or 10 months th~reafter.
These projections could be upset if there wer'e ;a sizeable hatch of se.cond -gener:-:- .
ation chicks or if any other chickens not reported by primary breeders go intosup.pTy -flocKs.
.. . A small portion of the Nation IS- supply flocks are not under the testing program of the PIP, but these probably remain relatively constant and therefore, would not affect comparisono Chickens tested also include cockerels which also should be a constant percentage and thus no-t affect comparis<;>ns; mortality could _ possibly become a factor if it changed considerably between periods of comparison.
In using these indications, keep . in mind that when demand for chick~ .is low, .
the av.er.age ..production -life of supply flocks is 8 months or less; but when demand for chicks is good, the average is 10 months or more.

GEORGIA: .
Georgia Calf Crop 1 Percent Higher
The 1963 calf crop i n Geor gia is expected to total 618,000 head, according
to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is a 1 percent increase over the -
1962 calf crop of 613, 000 and slightly above the 1957-61 average of 616,000 head.
This year's larger calf crop is attributed to a larger number of cows and
heifers . There were 772,000 head of cows and heifers 2 years old and older ori Georgia farms January 1, l963, compared with 766, 000 head the same tim~ in 1962.
UNITED STATES
Calf Crop Up 2 Percent
A calf crop of 41,819, 000 head is expected for the United States in 1963 -2 percent mor e t han the 1962 calf crop of 41,026,000 head and the largest since 1955, according to the Crop Reporting Board.
The larger calf crop in 1963, compared with the previous year, is the result
of more cows and heifers on farms~ - There were 48,690,000 head- of cows an~
heif ers 2 years old and older January 1, 1963, up 3 percent from the 47,472,000
head January 1, 1962.
The number of calves born and expected to be born in 1963 expressed as a percent of the cows and heifers 2 years old and older January 1, 1963 is 86
percent, the same as a year earli er. This percentage is not 'strictly a calving
rate because the January_l inventory of cows and heifers 2 years and older does
not include all heifers that give birth to calves during the year and includes some cows that di e or are slaughtered before calvi ng.
.. SOUTHERN STATES
In the South Atlantic region, Florida, Georgia, and Vi rginia expect larger
calf crops. No change is indicated in the calf crops for North and South Carolina but West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware are down from a year earlier.
Every State in the South Central region expects a le.rger calf crop in 1963. Texas has the largest increase, up 7 percent , followed by Oklahoma, Kentucky and
Tennessee.

CHICKENS Number Raised-1 PRELIMINA RY ESTI
UNITE,U STATES
July. 24, 1963
Thenumber o( young chickens raised in the United States (50 States) in i963 is expected to total 314, 259, 000--1 percent less than in 1962 and the lowest number since records began in 1909. Indicated decreases are 6 percent in the West North Central, 4 percent in the North .Atlantic, . the Western, and the East North Central States. Increases expected are 9 percent in the South Atlantic, and 3 percent in the South Cent:tal States.
These estimates are based on reports as of June 1 obtained through the coopera ~ion of rural mail carriers covering 158, 000 farms in all parts of the
country and supplemented by later information from crop correspondents and reports from commercial hatcheries.
In January farmers intended to buy 6 percent more chicks, but the monthly patchery report indicates that by March, farmers changed their plans. Egg-type chicks hatched January through June 1963 totaled 361, 824, 000--down 1 percent from the same period in 1962. Output of chicks was below a year earlier in March,
April, and May. These are the months of largest hatch. The 1 percent decrease in January-June hatch and the related de crease in chickens raised indicate that the
numb_er_ QLpulle S___Qll_ h_and Januar l, l'}_g4 will be very close to the ~umb~r _on hand
January 1 of this year.
Prices received by producers for eggs were above the corresponding mont~s a year earlier from November 1962 to date. Feed prices duringthis period were ,. ~lso higher and resulted in monthly egg-feed price ratios about the same as a year earlier.
Aggrega~e egg production, January through June, was down 1 percent from the corresponding period last year. Current egg prices are above a year earlier. The number of layers in flocks on July 1, 1963 totaled 284, 94Z, 000--up 1 percent from Jul y 1 last year. The laying flock on January 1, 1964 is expected to remain above January 1, 1963 by a similar amount or about 1 percent.
Commercial broiler production is not included in these estimates of !=hickens raised.
GEORGIA
"
The number of young chickens raised in Georgia in 1963 is expected to total
16,939, 000--up 16 percent from the estimated 14, 603, 000 in 1962. The hatch of
egg-type chicks in Georgia January through June is up 32 percent over the same
period last year. It is expected that rep:acement of hatchery supply flocks will
~crease bu~ by a much smaller amoUJ.J.~ ~han t he egg-type chicks. It appear.s that
chicks for farm flocks continue to decline .
These estimates are based on indications as of June 1 and could be influenced 'l>y condi tions t hat exist through the remainder of the year:

CORN, SORGHUMz _SOYBEAN Al'ID WHEAT STOCKS LOWER
Corn led the decline in feed gra'in stocks on July l with a 14 ~~cent smaller total tha.q a year ago. Stocks of sorghum grain were 8 percent_._ less, oats totaled about the same , but barley stocks were 18 percent greater. The combfned
total of all feed grains held on July l was ll percent less than last year. All
wheat stocks at tb~ end of the marketing year were 10 percent smaller than on July l , 1962 in spite of a sharp increase in. holdings of durum. Rye stocks were 12 percent less than a year earlier. Stocks of soybeans were 9 percent smaller than the large July 1962 holdings. Flaxseed held in all storage posi-

United percent
more than on July 1 last year and 3 percent above 1957-61 average. Compared wi th
last year, increases were 3 percent in the West No1~h Central, 2 percent in the
South Atlantic and South Central, and 1 percent in the North Atlantic and Western
States. In the East North Central region, numbers of colonies were dm-m 3 percent.
~I'llese estimates are based on reports from about 7, 000 beekeepers, including both
f~rm and non-farm apiaries.
Colony losaea during last winter and this spring averaged 16 percent of the colonies entering the winter, compared with 15 percent a year earlier. Winter and s:,):ring losses were 22 percent in the East North Central, 21 percent in the West Nmt h Central, 19 percent i n the North Atlantic, 15 percent in the West, 11 percr_,_nt in the South Central, and 10 percent in the South Atlantic States. About 4,'(00 reports specified the various causes of their winter and spring losses. Losses Wl3re 28 percent from winter killing, 25 percent from starvation, 19 percent
queenless, 3 percent from foul brood, 3 percent from spray poisoning, 3 percent from insects, 2 percent from dysentery and rodents, and 17 percent from various
other causes.
The condition of colonies on July 1 was 85 percent, compared with 87 last
yo~r. Decreases in reported conditions in the South Central, East North Central, rL.:::t.h .A.t lantie:, and South Atlantic States offset a small increase in the West. C.r.Jndition of colonies was reported the same as a year earlier in the West North
Central States.
The July 1 reported condition of nectar plants was 75 percent, compared with 82 last year. In the E~st North Central States conditi ons dropped from 85 percent on July 1, 1962 t o 72 t:his ~Tuly 1. Many parts of Wisconsin, Michigan, and
Illinois were extreme :~' d.ry ,, r.l.overs and alfalfa were suffering in Michigan and Wisconsin and many fe.:rmers hi.!'V\~ sted these hays before bloom. Although the crop
now looks below average in these States, recent rains have helped some plants.
Plant conditi ons in the West, the West North Central, the South Central, and the South Atlantic States shmred a 7 point drop from last year. In these regions
23 of tLe 34 States had decreases from last year. Lack of moisture was the main
r eason f or the poorer plant conditions. Plants in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska suffered from drought conditions. Late JUI1e and early July rains
have helped in some localities of these States. Plants were generally satisfactory in most of the South Atlantic and South Central States. Exceptions to this
were in Virginia where dry weather c~used serious damage, and in North Carolina
vi.'1er e May frost retarded plant growth. Florida had a fair yi eld from gallberry, p-7.i.'.11etto, and clover. Drought conditions existed in parts of Colorado, Oklahoma,
Lou:Lsiena and Texas. In Oklahoma conditions on July 1, 1963 were 55 percent, coJ:,~p'3.red to 82 a year earlier. In Southern California plant conditions were be-
l ow- last year because of the dry weather. In Northern California adequate rainfall has been favorable for plant growth. The orange flow in Central California has been good.
In the North,test, conditions were good, particularly in Montana, Idaho, and the Western halves of North and South Dakota. lviontana wit h good clover growth has prospects of an excellent crop. Most hays in Idaho reached full bloom before being harvested. Bees took advantage of this. A good mustard flow was reported in North Dakota.
-"
-
.
Reports from the North Atlantic States show an improvement in plant condition
from last year. Frost in May hurt trees and plants i n New York and Pennsylvani a.
Prospects in New York are for a fair crop. A large crop of good quality honey is
expected in Vermont. Co~ditions have been favorable for honey production in
northern New Jersey.

Crop Reporting Service. Haymaking and insect control measures in cotton, pea-
nuts, and pecans were the main activities that were carried out during the past
week.
Corn continued to look good over most of the State. Prospects for high yields are excellent, according to most County Agricultural Agents.
~"' ~dbacco:~_, i'6bacco .:nEiPvEl'St '~nd .marketing reont;tnuedrac:ti-v.E;. f1i~ety.@.rC~.l:l,~r, e ,, of the crop is reported to be harves~ed.
Cotton is in good condition. Younger cotton in the northern half of the State is still setting bolls, while harvesting is under way in older plantings in southern distric~s. Yield prospects remain good; however, bollworm and we~vil infestation is increasing.
Peanuts showed good development throughout most of the peanut belt. A few farmers in southern districts are beginning to harvest Spanish varieties, and yield prospects remain favorable.
Pastures are in exc.ellent condition and are furnishing plenty of grazing. Haymaking was carried out in all districts; however, many farmers were reported to be over a week behind due to earlier rains. Yields were generally high, but hay quality has been lowered by the rains . Soybeans continue to look good to very good, and sweetpotatoes are making rapid growth.
Pecan trees are reported to be holding the crop well, although the wet weather and high humidity have been favorable for the development of pecan diseasesr- andC unsprayeP su.seept.!lb-lect v:e.r"ieties~ have .~ been- d-am~ged !Jlle.; p-each harvest is virtually complete over most of the State.
Light vegetable harvest was continued in northern areas, according to reports from Market Managers.
WEATHER SUMMARY - Rain occurred over most of Georgia early in the week but shower activity decreased sharply. after August 1. Amounts for the week ranged
from light to excessive as rather severe thunderstorms hit some areas during the
last part of July. Athens had wind gusts to 40 miles per hour and about two inches of rain in 45 minutes during the afternoon of July 30. Several weather stations -had one~day totals of more than two inches and the observer -at- .. Milledgeville measured 3.96 inches for the 24-hours ending at 7 a.m. on July 28.
The decrease in shower activity brought an increase in temperatures. There
was a warming trend throughout the week and temperatures were running well above
seasonal levels by the end of the period. Averages for the week ranged from near,
to slightly above,normal over most of the State
1
July rainfall averaged above normal over most of the northwestern half of
the State and slightly below normal of the southeastern half. The largest de-
partures were in the northwest and southeast districts, the former averaging about
two and one-half inches above normal and the latter about one and one-half
inches below. Totals for the year are still running well above normal over most
of the State.

Progress of the cotton crop has been gener~lly g~od. Early fieid.work tor
... spring 'Planting was slow due to cold, wet soils, but after mid-March;temperatures .moderated and the crop advanced quite rapidly. Heavy rains in 'northern
. districts during early May cau.Sed consiC.erable replanting, but the remainder of . the month was quite favorable. Stands are very irregular, especially 'in the nor-
thern districts. The first half of June was generally dry and very suitable for :' cultivation. From mid--June until August 1 rainfall in ~ost areas was UriU&tially : heavy-, . bringing the annual rainfall to date about 10 inches above normal. During '. this .period, cUltivation and poisoning' operations were ~ampered, particu1a.rly in ' .( North Georgia . Boll weevil dam~ge has. been surpr:i.singJ.y, light, but bollworm in:.,.,;restation has been heavy in many areas. Harvest operations were becoming active
in the southern counties by the first week in August
..
:Final outt.urn of the. crop com.jlared .w1th the forecast will depend: upon whether. :the variouS factors affecting the crop during the remainder of the season are more or less favorable than normal.

estima ted at 67,680, 000 bushels, a sha~ increase
over!'the .-5CY, 760,000 bushel outt1.:1.rn last year. If this production is +ea.l .ize<i, . :
a -new -record will be established. T'.ue high previously established was in i96i
when-.65 ,800,DOO bushels were harveeted:o
... ,_-_.Ac;reag~ for harvest this year is estimated at 1,692,000 acres, the same as last yea~. Average yield per acre is estimated at 40 bushels, 10 bushels more
than the : l962 yield. The sharp increase results from the abUndance of moisture
~vailable since mid-June. Some 16w-lying areas have had too much water, anQ. . _ y~elds in these are~s - were lowered. Conditions have been almost ideal on higher .
ground, and the increase in production ' from thi s acreage will more ' than offset
"j;~e loss on low ground.

RECORD TOBACCO YIELD INDICATED: Georgia's flue-cured tobacco crop is cU+rentiy
estimated at 144, 525,000 pounds. The yi'eld . , .
-vi li. forecast of 2,050 pounds per acre is the highest of record arid, if real;i.ze,d, ,ood be the first time the State's average has exceeded 2,000~ourids. Production this
year v",ill be harvested from 70,500 acres, 3, 500 acres less than ~the 74 )1ar ~ .._ vested in 1962. A reduction in acreage allotments is responsible for the smaller acreage for harvest this year. Even with higher yie,l.q:s;.pr.oduction will not reach last year's level of 146, 150, 000 pounds due to the ~ed,uct_~~~. .in acreage.
PEANUT PRODUCTION UP: A total of 637,200,000 pounds of peanuts is expected to be
harvested from 472,000 acres .Qn Georgia farms this year. Ls;st year, production totaled 547,520,000 pounds harvsted from the same tot~l . ..

i .. ~:
UN!-T'EO STATE~ : " Sunimer vegetable .Production.. exduding me.lon's .. is expected to be 2 ' p'ercent less than last year but 2 percent above average. The fore-:
casts of late summer cantaloup and watermelon production are about the same as 1962. However, the estimated production of other summer vegetables including lettuce, celery, onions; cabbage, and tomatoes Is below last year. The two late summer crops show'i.ng the most significant dec) ines are lettuce and celery, both of which are ex~ pect~ to be .5 percent below a year ago.
LIMA. BE.!UiS: . Production of lima beans in summer producing areas, at 316,000 cwt., is 1 ercent less thalL lJLS~ye~r ~ut _9 _ ReL~ent above tbe 1957-61 aver~
age. Limas i n Upstate -New York received much needed rain in most areas. On Long lsla~d, pic~ing is expected to start aft~r August 10--lat~r than usual. New Jersey harvest started around July 20 and is expected to peak about mid-August. Irrigated acreage is yielding well but dryland yields are only fair. In Maryland, dry .
weather during July reduced prospects. Heaviest movement occurred the third week
of J~ly but moderate supplies for local consumption should continue through August. The North Carolina harvest was near completion by August 1 In Chowan County, the . major .. produdng area. Picking was over by August 1 in central areas. Rain during t"he h~avy marketing period cut short the harvest. Light marketings from northern Georgia are expected until late Septemuer.
SNAP BEANS: Summer snap bean production is estimated at 1,26U,OOO cwt., percent
.
bel ow last year and 9 percent below average. In the New_England States
harvesi is past peak but mode~ate volume will be available into September. Harvest
was in full swing in Upstate New York on August 1 but tapering off on Lon g . tsl~nd.
Volume supplies will be available from a11 Upstate bean areas until frost. Li.ght
supplies are expected from Long Island until frost. In Pennsylvania, harvest con-
tinues In all sections. Dry weather reduced prospects in the southeast; however, .
.in other areas beans are in good condition. The Ohio harvest Is about complete in
the southern area and is ~etting a good start in the northern areas. Dry weather
early in July hurt prospects in 111 inois and Michtgan but recent rains are expected
to improve the situation. Harvest started early In July in southwest Virginia and
Is e;;;pected to contlnoe- rh-rough August. \leather during July in North Carol ina was
favorable but development is about a week behind normal. Harvest in Georgia is ac- .
tive on a good quality crop. Tennessee's peak movement occurred in mid-Ju~. y b~t
volume supplies will be available through September.
CABBAGE: Late summer cabbage production, at 3,606,000 cwt., is 2 percent less than 1962 but l percent above average. Harvest is just getting underway in ttie
Schuylkill-Luzerne aTea of Pennsylvania. Dry weaiher slowed growth and those equi~ ped to irrigate are doin g so. In Indiana, quality is excellent. Rain the last half
bf July was too lat'e to benefit early cabbage in 111 inois but condition of later . plantin gs was improved. High yields were obtained . from early set fields in North Carolina where weather conditions were favorable for growth. Cutting is underway In Georgia. In Colorado, harvest in the San Luis Valley started July 22, substan- tlally ahead of last year. In northern Colorado areas, harvest has been in prog~ess ~ince the first of July. In ~/ashington, most of July was cloudy w.ith heavy showers the second week of July. Harvest is underway in early fields. The bulk of Cal ifor-
nia supplies are coming from the Los Angeles district, the San Francisco Bay dis~rlct, Salinas, Santa Maria and Oxnard areas. Shipments are expected to remain ~teady for the next several months.
WATERMELONS: The final forecast of early summer production, at 14,414,000 cwt., is
,
6 percent less than last year and 17 percent below average. Harvest
Qf North Carol ina melons was expected to peak in early AU!]USt. In South Carol ina,
harvest was about complete in the Allendale-Barnwell-Hampton area by August 1.
Picking in the Chesterfield area is expected to be past the peak by August 10. Har-
vest is virtually complete in Arizona, Louisiana, and in southern and central Ala-
bama and Mississippi. In Arkansas, picking started in early July in the southwest
and about mid-month in the northeast. Movement was heavy from all areas August 1.
In Oklahoma quality of melons has been good, but dry, hot weather 1imlted size and
riumber of melons. Supplies were available in good volume in central and east Texas
through July. Harvest in these areas was almost complete August 1. Lack of mois
ture hindered development and sizing. Picking Is active in Fresno, Tulare, Merced,
and Stanislaus Counties and in the Perris-Hemet district of Riverside County. Ship-
ments will remain heavy through August, decreasing in October.

PECAN REPORT AS OF AUGUST 1, 1963
Pecan Prospects at Record Level
Q~QBQ!: The . l963 production of pecans in Georgia, based on August 1 condition,
is forecast at 88,000,000 pounds~ This expected production is 12 per.-
cent above the previous record for the State set in 1961 when 78,600,000 pounds
were produced and compares with the extremely low 1962 crop of 15,200,000 p~und~.
The estimated 88,000,000 pounds again place~ Georgia first in the Nation in pecan
production, accounting for almost one-third of the total national crop. It is
estimated that improved varieties will total 75,000,000 pounds and seedlings will
amount to 13,000,000 pounds in 1963.
Following the very light crop in 1962, pecan trees went into the winter in good condition. Weather during the sprirtg month_s was favorable for pollination and development and all varieties in all areas set good to excellent crops of nuts. Frequent rains that began in mid-June and continued through July, limited spraying operations and scab and powdery mildew have become a threat to suscep- _
tible varieties.
gNITED STATES: The current pecan crop is forecast at a record 278.8 million
-- pounds compared with the 1962 harvest of 70.8 million pounds .(the
shortest crop since 1936) and exceeds the previous record set in 1961 when 246.8
million pounds were harvested. A crop of this size would be 100.0 milliqn pounds
or 56 percent above the five~ear average. Estimated production of improved vari-
eties is 4~ times as large as last year and seedling pecans over 3 times as large.
Only New Mexico, expects a crop below last year and the average. The Oklahoma '
crop, more than double last year's, is 17 percent .oelow average. Favorable weather
for pollination and nut development, and the fact that trees produced a small crop
last year contributed to the record level indicated for 1963.
The Texas crop needs rain for good nut development. Shedding, which occurred earlier than usual, has been heavy in major producing areas of Texas though insect a and disease has been light. The set of nuts over much of the pecan belt is so heavy that extensive limb breakage may be expected.

United States Milk Production
Milk production in the United States duri:cg J~ is estimated at 10,856
million pounds, down 0. 5 percent from a year earlier and about 1 percent below
the 1957-61 average for thE! month. Milk production for June has been revised to
11,842 million pounds, which is 0.7 percent less than June J.962 output. July pro-
duction amounted to 1.85 pounds per person dai~, compared with 2.09 pounds the
previous month and 1.89 pounds in July a year e,go. Milk production per cow was
654 pounds--2 percent above a year earlier. ~e dai~ average of 21.1 pounds per
cow during July was down 11 percent from June, the same seasoml decline as in
1962.
.
Pasture feed condition in the United States on AugUst 1 averaged 71 percent of normal, compared with 79 percent a year earlier 'and the 1957-61 average of 83 percent for the date. The decline of 8 percentase points from J~ 1 canpares with the average decline of 4 points during J~. Pasture growth was slowed by below normal rainfall-in eastern-NO"rth -De.kota, northern portions of the upper Great lake Sta~s, and in the eastern States extending northward from North Carolina to Maine. Milk cows in herds kept by reporters were fed an average of 6. 7 pounds of grain and concentrates ~n August 1, or 2 percent more than a year earlier.

September 9, 1963
Georgia's 1963 cotton crop is for~c~st at 565,000 bales based on information
reported by crop correspondents as of September 1, the Georgia Crop Reporting
Service said today. This is 30,000 bales above the August 1 estimate and 31,000
bales above final production in 1962. The five-year 1957-61 average production is
457,000 bales.
Indicated lint yield per acre of 421 pounds is 52 pounds above last season and is 45 pounds above the five-year 1957-61 av.erage of 376 pounds.
Weather during August was mostly hot and dry, and the crop matured rapidly.
. According to the Weekly Crop-weather correspondents, about one-fifth of the State's crop had been picked by September 1. Harvest operations were active in the southern and central areas of the State and starting in the northern districts. The quality of cotton harvested to date has been very good. Producers have carried out an intensive control program f or weevils and bollworms, and infestation has '1een held to a lmv level i n most are ~ s. Nechanical pickers are being used more extensively than usual.
Final outturn of t he crop compared 1-vith this forecast will depend on whether or not various f actors affecting the cotton crop during the remainder of the season are more or less favorable t han usual.
The Bureau of Census reports 125,000 running bales ginned prior to September 1 compared with 126, 000 to the same date in 1962 and 12, 000 in 1961.

'!.JNITED . S'I'ATEf,:
Total Summer VegetRbles and Melone: Production of 93.1 million cwt. (hundredweight) is 2 percent below last year and 1 percent below average.
Total Fall Vegetables: Output estimated to date, at 29.4 million cwt., is
10 percent belmrJ last year and 4 percent less than average. The
September l estimate usually accounts for about four~fifths of tot::U fall production.
LIMA BEANS: Lima bean production inthe summer producing States is 325',000 cwt., 2 percent more than last year and 12 percent above average. Cool
weather during August in New York slmv-ed development and harvest is expected to continue through most of September. Light to moderate supplies from late fields in New Jersey will be available through September. Harvest of the l-1aryland crop is nearly complete. In North Carolina, late plantings are yielding well and picking will cohtinue until late October. In Georgia, only a small acreage remained to be harvesteq, as hot, dry weather shortened the season. Th~ Alabama crop turned out large.r than expected in spite of the hot, dry weather in northern counties.
SN.Ji.P BEANS: The production for summer snap beans is l, 300,000 c-vrt., up l percent from last year but down 6 percent from average. In New England,
harvest is nearing completion, although light supplies will be available until frost. !Vioisture v1as adequate in New York during August, and good yieids were obtained from fields picked during the month. However, below normal temperatures slowed maturity and harvest moved at a moderate pace. Harvest will continue until frost. Picking is nearly complete in northern Pennsylvania while in the southern section harvest of late plantings is just undervray. Cool, dry weather retarded growth in all areas. August rains improved conditions in Ohio and quality is good. Harvest is active in northern areas but about one week later than normal. Late .plantings in Illinois are yielding well. Beneficial rains vJere received in Wisconsin in August; however, some areas had excessive rain which hindered picking and reduced quality. In Virginia, harvest is virtually complete. The North- Carolina crop is in good condition and harvest 1..rill continue till frost. Harve.st of early plantings is complete in Georgia but late plantings are expected to bear through e~rly October. In Alabama and Tennessee harvest was complete by the .first of September. Wet August weather in Colorado hampered the maturing and harvest of beans.
CUCUfffiERS: The first forecast of early fall cucumbers is for a crop of 6.57,000 cwt., slightly below last year and 10 percent below average. In
Virginia, showers in late August brought some relief from drought conditions. Harvest of earliest fields, mostly irrigated, began in late August and volume movement is expected in early September. Vines in late planted fields are beginning to run. Planting in Louisiana is almost complete. Light picking has started but general harvest was not expected before September 10. Harvest is under1r1ay in the High Plains of Texas and supplies v.rill get underway in the San Antonio area the second lveek in September. Early acreage in the Winter Garden will furnish production the last half of September. Cucumbers around Laredo are making good growth. In the Nio Grande Valley, planting was underway in late August. In California, moderate supplies are moving from Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura and San Diego Counties. Additional light volume is available from central coast districts.

CABBPfl~: Based on growers' intentions to plant winter cabbage, 40,700 acres are expected to be harvested during the 1963-64 winter season. This total
is the srune as a year earlier and is 6 percent above average. A small reduction
in Florida from a year ago is offset by larger plantings planned in Texas. orovTers
in California and Arizona plan no changes from 1963. Seedb~ds in central Florida
and Hastings are in fair to good condition. The early acreage in the Everglades
plus a small acreage in central Florida has been seeded direct. Planting is
underway in all south Texas areas with most of the intended acreage increase in
the San Antonio and Winter Garden areas. Planting in the Phoenix area of Arizona
began in early August but heavy rains caused delay and replanting. In California, the acreage actually planted may depend on availability of labor. Intentions in
the Imperial Valley and Ventura County, where about two-thirds of the crop is
grawn, are for about the same acreage . as in 1963. Central Florida acreage is about the same as in 1963 while growers in the Hastings area will harvest more
acreage a~d the Everglades area substantially less.

The September 1 outlook for most ~ajor crops in Georgia was extremely good. August weather, altho~gh highly variable, was generally favorable for crop maturity and harvesting operations. Tobacco harvest was completed during the month, and cotton and peanut harvest was in full swing in southern counties on September 1.
CORN PRODUCTION HIGHEST EVER: The September 1 forecast of corn production was unchanged from a month ago at 67,680,000 bushels. If
this level is reached a record high yield per acre of 40 bushels will be set and total production will be the greatest ever produced in Georgia. This expected production comes from 1,692,000 acres for grain, which is the same as a year ago and the lowest since es-timates for gra-in -were -begun in -19-19.
TOBACCO YIELD TOPS PREVIOUS RECORD: The 1963 flue-cured tobacco yield per acre is
forecast at 2,025 pounds or 50 pounds more
than the previous record." high .: Qf 1,9-75 pounds realized in 1962. Total pr_o~~ction,
estimated at 142,762,000 pounds, is down. about. 3 percent fr-om the 146,150,000
pounds last year. Acres for harvest in 1963, at 70,500, was 3,500 less than the
74,000 acres in 1962.
..: -:: .
.
COTTON PRODUCTION UP 6 PERCENT: Production of cotton in 1963 is estimated at
565,000 bales. This is 6 peroent above the
534,000.: harvested la,st year and 24 percent above the 1957-61 average production of 457,000 bales. The indicated yield of lint cotton per acre at 421 pounds 18 52
pounds more than the 1962 yield of 369 pounds and 45 pounds above the 195761 average of 376.
~~~_!!~: Georgia's 196} peanut crop is estimated at 660,800,000 pounds,
up 113,280,000 pounds from the 1962 production of 547,520,000
pounds. A record high average yield of 1,400 pounds per acre is expected. Harvest
weather has -been excelle-nt for. peanuts and on September 1 about two-thirds of the
. crop was dug and about half of the acreage had b~en picked
fECAN PRODUCTION 90 H!!.'1];QN POUN!2.: On September ' '].~ indications as reported by
pecan growers pointed toward a crop of 90 mil-
lion pounds. Production at this level is an all-time high.
lviiLK PRODUCTION Uf 2 PERCENT: 1'1ilk production during August is estimated at .
88 million pounds or 2 percent above the same month last year. Production was seasonally down 3 percent from the July -total of 91 million pounds.

would be ' required over the next few montbs to cut the indicated number. o,,f lci.yers
producing hatching eggs back to year-earlier levels. Pullet chicks placed iri
January-August were up 5 percent from the same months of 1962.
If broiler production were to remain only moderately above the 1963 level in early 1964, the usual seasonal increase in the broiler chick hatch from now through next February would have to be sharply curtailed. In October 1962February 1963 the hatch remained practically stationary. But this stability follow-e_d, ~ - sh~r.p e-?Cpal;l:~jon, i~ -~h.e. J?.atc;:h . ~bove a _. yea:r.- .earl.ier jn S~p_t~m~ber-:November 1962. It also occurred during a period when the }~ationis hatching .e.gg s-upply flock was smaller.
The recent cutback in broiler chick placements is an encouraging sign for the broiler industry. If chick production is held to only moderately above the yearearlier level over the. next several mont hs, broiler prices in early 1964 would probably average only a little lower than in early 1963. Larger beef consumption than a year earlier is expected to continue through the first half of 1964, thus exerting a downward pressure on broiler price!?
In January-July, the total liveweight of young chic~ens slaughtered under Federal inspection was up 6 percent from the same period of 1962. The liveweight per bird slaughtered in the firsi: 7 month!? of 1963 was 3. 44 pounds com-
pared with 3. 40 in January-July last year. It now appears that about 4 to 5 percent more broilers will be produced in 1963 than the 2, 026 million in 1962.

GOVERNMENT PURCHASE PROGRAMS BEGIN F.OR POULTRY .
The USDA began to buy turkeys on August 30 three weeks earlier than in 1962.
Beca~se of :i:he large year-to-year increase in the poult hatch in February and
March, ~he main marketing season, (September-De~ember) is opening with
larger supplies than in 1962. Purchases are designed to remove excess supplies
from the market . The program is being financed through funds provided under
Section 32 of Public Law 320. Turke ~rs "will be distributed to schools which
serve lunches to approximately 17. 5 million children including the 16 million
currently taking part in the National School Lunch Program. Purchases to
September. 12 are equivalent to about 3. 1 servings per child.
. ~ In . ~lie 3 weeks ended September 12, the Government contracted for 11.9 ~illion pounds of turkey at a cost of $5.8 million. The top paying price was 33.75
.cents per pound, essentially the same as in the first 3 weeks of last year's program. :..~urchases last year began September 21 and by October 4, 3 weeks later,
totaleq 17.7 million pounds at a cost $5.7 million. In all of 1962, USDA bought 43 ~Ulion pounds of turkey, less than the 60 million pounds of 1961 but more t~an in .any ot her year of the last decade.
A purchase program for cut-up young chickens got under way on August 16.
It i~ designed to help schools participating in the National School Lunch Program
to ~ee t the program 1s protein requirements. Funds for these purchases are .
p~oVide.d under Section 6 of the National School Lunch Act.
:
Ttu-o\igh September 18, the Government had contracted for 14. 5 million . pOunds of young chickens, equivalent t o about 2 percent of Federally-'inspected slaughter in the same period. Top paying prices for the specially-packed cutup young chickens in August 16-September 12 rang~d from 30.69 to 31.09 cents
lnper pound compared with 31.06 to 33. 20 in the same weeks last year. Purc}?.ases August 16-September 20 of '1962 totaled 13.2 million pounds and for 1962 af? : a whol~ totaled 60 million poun~s.
U.S. POULTRY EXPORTS CONTINUE AT RECENT LEVELS
Siriee the imposition of the European Economic Community levies on August
1 last y-e-ar, u.s. exports of-frelfl;land- f-ro-zellb-roiters have remained stable . :..:
though ' a t a much lower level, than in the first 7 months of 1962. Sharply re<;luced
sales to the EEC during this period were partly offset by slightly larger sales .
to the rest of t he world. During this period, monthly broiler exports ranged
between 3 and 12 million pounds, except for January 1963 when foreign sales..
a. dropped to 1 million pounds because of t he dqck strike. In July, the latest mon~h
for which dat a are available, exports tot aled 9 mil~ion pounds compared,with,
:a .: 8 million pounds in JUn.e and 14. 7 million pounds in July 1962. The January-
Jt?ly vtilmne this year was 58 million pounds compared with 122 million in the
: corresponding period of last ye<;L~ .. ?-"he 5~ m\llioJ;l pounds exported were ~qQ.iv._.
. ' ~en~ to 1.6 percent of the concurrent ' Federally,-in.sJ?e~te'd Slaughter of young
ChiCkens. Last year, exports of broj:lers .in t he .f~;rst 7 m.onths represented 3.5
petceht of slaughter. In the last 5 r.qonths of 'tJlis yeaJ;, th:e movement of u.s.
'broilers abroad is not expected to diff~~ . muc~..(r9r:p the year-earlier vo1um~ .of
51 million pounds.

As a result, egg production rose ab.ove the yearearlier level an.d .in June-August averaged 1. 0 percent higher than in the same 3-month perio9- last ' year.

: During ~he last week of August and first 2. weeks of September egg prices to . producers continued to increase seasonally as they did last year. On September 13, prices paid to farmers in impor~ant egg-producing areas were up from mid-
August by mostly 3 to 4 cents per dozen for top quality large eggs and 3 to 6 cents
for medium sized eggs. Compared to a year ago, mid-September egg prices ip
these areas were mixed. Large eggs were 2 to 3 cents lower in all areas except the Pacific Coast where they w..ere highe;r: y_acbo.Y.tJh~Lsarl;e_a..mount. ~:>rices for medium-sized eggs fluctuated Close to year-ago levels.
For the last quarter of this year, egg prices may be near the year-earlier
average of 36. 8 cents per dozen. Egg production in October-December will be
rising seasonally and is expected to be a little larger than a year ago. Reduced
stocks of frozen egg currently available may lead to a greater demand by egg
breakers this fall. Frozen egg stocks on September 1 totaled 105 million pounds
compared with 12.0 million on this date lapt year--the lowest for September 1
since 19.33. However, in .ear1y,. l964, egg prices g1.ay: drop below year-earlier

EGG PRODUCTION LIKELY TO CONTINU:~ A BOVE A YEAR EARL[~ ~
Egg output climbed from 2. to 3 percent below 1962. in January-February to 1
to 2 percent above the year-earlier level in July-August. This rising trend
stemmed both from an expanding National laying flock and from a recovery in the
rate of lay, depressed in. the first quarter compared with 1962. Keeping hens in
production longer than a year earlier seemed to account for the increase in layer
numbers. Hatchings of egg-type chicks late in 1962 and early 1963 suggest that
about the same number of replacements were added to laying flocks in January-
August as in t hese same months last year.

During the next several months egg production may continue a little greater
than a year earlier. In the early months of 1964 the increase may be eve~ greater.
The Nation's laying flock which on July 1 and August 1 had been 1 percent larger
than in 1962. was back down to last year's level on September 1. Part of this
decline appears to be due to the 7. 5 million reduction in the hatch of egg-type
chicks this past March from March 1962, On September 1, the number of potent-
ial layers (layers and pullets not yet of laying age) totaled 385 million compared
with 386 million on September 1, 1962. This suggests that the number of layers
through the first quarter of 1964 will be about the same as a year earlier.
The rate of lay which ran 2 percent over a year earlier on September 1 may continue higher. In the last 5 years, t:1e annual increase in the rate of lay in
October-December has a;ve~ r~g~cf i percent. ' ' Abo\it t:hi:~ ' rate of increase may be
maintained even though the laying flock this year is made up of more hens and iewer pullets. This appears likely because the large regional shift in egg

production this )rear indicates that larger and more productive flocks are replacing
those wit h a lower rate of lay. Early in 1964, eggs per layer are expec~ed to be

U.S. production the first 8 months of 1963 totaled 119 million cases the same
as in the se m onths last year. This stability ma,.EikS.: .ratller large but offsetting
regional cha nges. Compared with a 'year earl~~!:t..~.Sg.:__Q~Jpu~. ~n:)'~uarv-August

.~J?. :.~he..Nq~th At lantic States. Thus, as in .recent .y.ea:~a; .egg production co~tinues
to ._expand in the South and Far West to contract iri theMidwest and Northeast. '
T~is regionaL rel:ocatipn of egg production haS' :been oceurring -rapidly smce the
mid 1950's.
.. ,.;;
.. A number of factors..has. contributed t o the regional changes in egg produc~ion -El,rst, population. bas be.en growing faster in the Western' and Sou~h Atlantic r~gione
.th.an in other parts of the country. Second, reduced -transportation rates have allowed producer.s in .the South Atlantic region-"to purc-txa!:H~ Midwestern feed . ~
i.ng.redient s at reduced costs . 'l'hird, the South Atlantic region until recently was
an egg-defici t area"!' ..producin.g less eggs t han it consumed. Therefore, it could
expand egg production without local prices declining relative to the U.S. average.
Fourth, the declining .profitability of broiler produt:tian:.stimulated the South ~ Atlantic, Eas t South Central and Western State's to 'fake advantage of the 1ower. '
costs inhe~ent in:large-scale egg prodq.ci:ion and marketing. Fifth, the declining
egg output in t he: Midwest repre'sents t he exodus of ill:na.n f~r'm flocks from the
egg business. Because of increasing competition in egg production, these small
flocks have become much less profitable in relation to other enterprise alternative:
in the Midwes t ;; In th~ :.Nortbeast the doWnward adjustment has been more diffi-

Gf:.Of?.GIA: Estimated honey production in Georgia for 1963 is 1, 735,000 pounds. This
is an increase of approximately 9 percent from the 1962 production of
7,095,000 pounds. Total colonies of bees were estimated at 221,000, slightly above t he 1962 number of colonies . Honey production per colony is e stimated at 35 pounds
this year compared with 33 pounds in 1962.
UNITED STATES:
RECORD HONEY CROP
~
The 1963 honey crop is expected to total 291,429,000 pounds, the highest of
record, according to the Crop Reporting Board. This is 6 percent above t he pre-
vious r ecord of 273,792,000 produced in 1961 and 1 percent above t he 1962 pro-
duction of 272,486,000 pounds. Production per colony is expected to average
52.4 pounds, 6 percent above last year and 5 9ercent more than t he previous record
set in 1961. The 5, 559, 000 colonies on hand at the beginning of the 1963 season
were 1 percent more t han latt year.
The late summer improvement of plant conditions in many of the Northern States permitted good late summer f lm.Js. Yields in these St ates were above early expectations. Plant conditions were excellent in the northwe st and good in the North Central and North Atlantic States. Dry weather caused lower yields in many of t he South Atlantic and South Central Etates, particularly Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Louisiana. Southern California had one of its poore st seasons in r ecent years because of drought, but conditions were good in Northern California.
Yields per colony increased from 68.8 pounds laf:t year to 86.1 in the West North Central; 56.2 to 65.1 in the Ea st North Central; 42.6 to 49.5 in the North Atlantic; and 59.1 to 60.4 in t he Western St ates. Yiel ds dropped from 39.9
last year to 33.3 in the South Atlantic and from 29.9 to 26.8 in the South Central
States.
Stocks of honey on hand for sale by producers on September 15 totaled 105,401,000 compar ed with 103,808,000 pounds a year earlier. This year stocks on hand were 36 percent of production compared with 38 percent last year. An increase
in exports and a stronger domestic market t his yea.r have been factors toward a smaller percentage of stocks on hand.

CONCERNING CO~miTION AND
VEGETABLES,OCTOBER 1, 1963
UNITED STATES
CABBAGE (For fresh market and Kraut): Late fall cabbage production is expected
to total 397,000 cwt., 10 percent less than last year and 9 percent below average. Virginia's growing conditions during
September were good and cutting will start around November 1. In the major cabbage producing area of North Carolina, moisture has been short. Stands are good, and disease and insect problems have been minor. Light cutting will start
October 20-25. The season will be a.few days later than usual in South Carolina.
Cutting is expect'ed to start about the first of November with volume movement by
mid-November.
CUCU:MESRS: Early fall cucumber production, at 743,000 cwt., is 13 percent above la~t year and 25 percent above average. Picking is well along in
Virginia. The crop had generally good growing conditions. South Carolina harvest
began the last -vreek in September. The season is a few days later than usual but a normal set of fruit is in prospect. Peak picking will be around mid-October, with heaviest volume expected during the middle of October. Georgia harvest has passed p~al~ and light volume is expected during the first two weeks in October. Extremely dry weai;her during .late August and most of ~eptember caused considerable damage. Rains following hurricane 11 Cindy11 damaged some Louisiana cukes. Light n picking was underway but prices have been low and very few have moved. Picking
is expected to become heavier and should peak around October 10.
Supplies were available from the High Plains of Texas throughout September
with harvest expected to continue fairly active through October. Picking was
underway the last half of September in the San Antonio, Laredo, and Winter Garden
areas, and will continue active into November. Movement from the Rio Grande
Valley will start late in Octob er and continue into December. In California,
cucumbers are moving in volume f rom the southern coastal counties of San Diego,
Orange, Lps Angeles, and Ventura with lighter supplies available 'from other areas
of the State. 1'1ovement will decrease during October bJlt should continue through
the end of the year.

INFOP~ATION ON 1964 CROPS
OCTOBER 1, 1963
KAlE: Virginia has an estimated 1,400 acres of kale for harvest during the 19631964 winter season. This is 12 percent lov1er than t he acreage harvested
last winter and 30 percent below average . Adequate moisture in September aided
progress of crop and volume supplies will be available about mid-October.
ONIONS: South Texas onion grmvers intend to plant 28,000 acres of early spring onions for harvest during 1964, compar ed with 22,600 acres harvested in
the 1963 season. Host of the increase is expected in dryl and plantings in the
Rio Grande Valley and Coastal Bend. Irrigated acreage in the Rio Grande Valley will be moderately above last year. No signtficant change ts expected around
Laredo. In the '\rJinter Garden, plantings for late rfay and early June harvest are expected to increase which will be partially offset by a decrease in acreage for late June production. A limited acreage was direct seeded in all areas the l ast
half of September. Plants in beds in the Laredo and Winter Garden areas are making good grov.rth.
STRAWBERRIES: Strawberry acreage for all seasonal groups combined is expected to
total 89,670 acres for harvest in 1964. An acreage of this size would be 2 percent greater than the 1963 crop but 8 percent below average. Most
of the increase from last year occurred in Louisiana and Florida.

GEORGIA COTTON REPORT AS OF DECEMBER 1
Georgia cotton production for 1963 amounted to 605,000 bales (500 pounds gross weight)which is 71, 000 bales above the 1962 crop and is the largest prod~ction since 1955, when 701, 000 bales were harvested~ The indicated 1963 yield per acre of 454 pounds lint is a record high for the State. The previous record was in 1958 with 443 pounds. The 1963 harvested acreage of 639 , 000 is 53,000 below -last year and is the smallest acreage since 1958. The largest acreage harvested in Georgia was 5, 157, 000 in 1914 with a yield per acre of 252 pounds. Prod}:lctio~ j.n_the _!l.Ortll_ern C!_i ?tr_icts__will:.J?e___l. Jlerc~nt less than in ~962 while the central area will have an increase of 9 percent, and the southern districts will harvest 24 .percent more than last season.
Weather conditions during the growing season were very irregular and final _yields varied widely by areas. Excessive rains during la:te June and July made it difficult to control grass and weeds and damaged the crop, especially in cent~al and northern districts. Little rainfall was received during the fall months, and the shortage of moistur.e reduced production prospects in the central and northern areas. The dry weather was very favorable f or the southern districts, and record yields weYe harvested. Weevil infestation was light in most areas of the State, but damage from bollworms was heavier than usual. The crop was harvest ed under very favorable conditions, and the quality was good to very good.
The Bureau of the Census reported 600,000 running bales ginned to December 1 compared with 529,0~0 ginned to the same date last year.

Winter Vegetables: 'Hinter production is e xpe cted to be slightly less than last
year and 3 percent belmv average. Winter crops included in
the December l estima te usually account for more than half the total winter pro-
duction.
CABBAGE: The acreage of cabbage for 1964 l'linter harvest in Florida, Texas,
Arizona, and California is 43,300 acres, 7 percent above the 40,500
acres harvested in 1963 . In Florida, cutting was heavy around Zellwood and light harvest was under way in Dade County and tbe Everglades on December l. Cutting is expected to get under way in the Sanford area around the middle of December.
Total supplies are expected to be heavy in January. In Texas, an increase in acreage from last year is evenly distributed in the major areas. About 77 percent of the total Texas acreage is located in the Rio Grande Valley, 20 percent in the San Antonio-1Jinter Garden and Coastal Bend areas with the remaining 3 percent in the upper Coast and High Plains. Harvest is under v.ray in all areas. Supplies are available in good volume from the .Winter Garden and San Antonio areas. Movement from the Rio Grande Valley is increasing with heavy volume expected during January, February, and March. In Arizona, the crop is in good condition. Light cutting started in early November .a.-'1d moderate supplies are availaple from central areas. Hoderate supplies are available from centrai and coastal areas o.f California. Volume is about normal for this season of the year. Cutting on the desert
acreage was getting under way on December ."l . and volume should increase during December.
Growers of early spring cabbage are expected to harve st 12,000 acres in 1964 . This compares with 12,100 acres harvested for the early spring season of l96J. In South Carolina, recent rains provided adequate moisture and >veather conditions are favorable for transplanting. In Georgia, transplanting was expected to begin about mid-December . Generally, plants in beds are reported to be in fair to good condition. In Alabama, very little planting has occurred. Cabbage acreage in Mississippi is usually planted between January 10 and February 10. In Louisiana, very little cabbcge has been planted in the major producing ar eas. Heaviest planting is expected to take place the last week of December. Planting for the spring crop in California i s un way.

. . GEORGIA ANNUAL CROP REPORT - 1963
VALUE OF GEORGIA CROPS UP 85 MILLION DOLLARS: The value of the principal crops
produced in Georgia during 1963 is
estimated at $453,854,000 compared with $368,635,000 in 1962. The increase in value ~ wa.s due largely to record-high yields per aore for the major crops.
Cotton, corn, peanuts and tobacco produced record-high yields per acre. _The . ,
43'-bushel corn yield was 8 bushels above the previous record in 1961. Peanut
yieldof 1, 500 pcitmds exceeds the 1961 record by 290 pounds. Cotton was the most--
important crop with a value of $111,222,000, followed by corn with $94,858,000; .~obacco Fanked third with $85, 347, 000 1 and peanuts were a close fourth with .... $82,251,000 . Cotton, corn, tobacco, and peanuts accounted for 82 percent of the .
value ..
of-
a. l l

.c. rops.
. ...,.
RECORD CORN PRODUCTION: The 1963 corn harvest for grain is estimated at
_
..
74,691,000 bushels; this exceeds. the 1962 crop by 24
million bushels and is 9 million above the 1961 record production. Weather con-
ditions were very favorable for the corn ~rop, especially for the southern dis-
tricts, and record yields were harvested.
'
.
LARGEST PEA1~ CROP IN PAST 15 YEARS: The 722 million pounds of peanuts har-
vested in 1963 is the largest production s~nce 1948 when 818 million pounds were picked and threshed and is 174 million
pounds above last year.
PECAN PRODUCTION UP 67 MILLION POUNDS_: The 1963 record-high pecan production of 82 million pounds is 67 million above the
1962 short crop of 15,200,000 pounds. The previous high production was in 1961 with 79 million pounds.

GEORGIA ANNUAL COMMERCIAL .YEGETABLE SUMMARY 1963-1962
The value of Georgia's 1963 commercial fresh market and processing vegetable
crops amounted to $15 1184 1000- two percent above the 1962 value of $14,905,000. Dry weather in May and early June reduced yields in many areas of the State. How-
ever, tomatoes and sweetpotatoes produced' record yields per acre. Total acfeage
harvested is two percent below last year, due .mainly to unfavorable weather
conditions around planting time. (All of the commercial vegetable crops grown in
the Stateare not included in this report.)

Fall Pig Crop Declined Sharply
Georgia's 1963 fall pig crop is estimated at 973,000 head, dmm sharply from the 1962 fall crop of 1,099,000 head; A total of 137, 000 sows farrowed this fall compared with 157,000 last fall and the 5-year average of 166,000. Average number of pigs saved per litter, at 7.1 pigs, was up slightly from the 7.0 average a year ago.
1963 Total Pig Crop Down 6 Percent
Pigs saved in Georgia dt4ring 1963 from both spring and fall farrm-1ings totaled 2,135,000 head and compares with 2,261,000 head saved the previous year. This 6-percent drop from a year earlier is the result of the sharp decline in fall farrowings as the spring pig crop was unchanged from a year earlier.
196!1- Sn:r.ing Intentions Down 9 Percent
Reports from Georgia farmers indicate they expect a further reduction in pigs during the spring of 1964. These reports indicate 151,000 sows to farrow during the December 1963- May 'l964 period. Farrowings during this same period last _year totaled 166,DOO sows.
