United States Milk Production
United States milk production in December totaled 9,695 million pounds, about 1 percent below the output during December 1962 but 2 percent above the 1957-61 average for the month. On a daily basis, December output was up 2 percent from November -- the same change as last year. Relative to population, production was equivalent to 1.64 pounds per person daily compared with 1.68 pounds in December a year ago. Milk production was at a record level for the month in Michigan, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Washington and in 6 other States was exceeded in only one previous year. However, by contrast, milk production was the lowest of record for December in 8 States.
For 1963 as a whole, milk production totaled 124,744 million pounds, based on preliminary monthly production estimates.

February 3, 1964
Q2rgi~: Turkey growers in Georgia expect to . produce 524,000 more turkeys in
.. . .
1964 than in 196J. If early January intentions are carried out, a
or' total of 1,70l,OOO 'birds w~ll be raised in Georgia compared with 1,177,000 head
last. year, ... a:n ipcrease of 45 percent, A breakdown by breeds shows 1,681,000
heavy breeds and 20,000 lightbreedso Tennessee ia J!Jhe only State with a larger
percentage increase than Georgia for 1964.
-
-g_ni~q_St ~~: Turkey growers intend to produce 4 percent more turkeys in 1964 than last year. Present plans are to increase heavy
breeds. 4. percent. with heavy whites up 13 percent and other heavybreeds down 2 per- cent. An increase of 6 percent is planned for light breeds. If growers carry out their intentions, about 97.0 million turkeys will be raised compared with there~ vised estimate of 93.4 millie~ in 1963. Increased production of turkeys is planned in all regio.os. of the country ....... 20 percent in the South Centr'al'States, 7 percent in the South Atlantic States, 2 percent in the North Atlantic and the East North Central St.ates, and 1 percent in the vJest North Central and the Western States.
Growers intend to raise 86. 8 million heavy breeds in 1964 ...... 4 percent more
than last year. They plan to raise 36,3 million heavy white breeds, 13 percent more th~n the 32.2 million raised in 1963. Present plans indicate that heavy white breeds will account for about 42 percent of all Q.eavies raised in 1964, compar~d . ~
with _J8 pe.rcent in 1963 and 37 percent in 1962. The expected nwnber of heavy t<Ihites
to be raised in 1964 is above last year in .all regions of the country -. except in the North Atlantic.
Growers intend to raise 50.5 million bronze and other heavy breed turkeys, com-
pared with 51.5 million in 1963 -- a decrease of 2 percent. Decreases indicated are 4 percent in the West North Central and West and 10 _percent in the East North Central regions. These decreases are partially offset by increases of 9 percent in the North Atlantic and South Atlantic and 3 percent in the Sout~ Central regions.
Light breed ..producers plan to raise 10.2 million light bree.d turkeys in 1964, up 6 percent,\' from last year. Increased production of light breeds is planned in all regions of the country except in the West North Central and the West,
The number of turkeys actually rai'sed in 196l:r may vary somewhat from the
January 1,. 1964 intentio~s of growers. SucQ. changes depend on reactions to this
report, price of feed, supply and prices of hat9hing . eggs and poults, and prices
received for turkeys during the next few-months.
Testings of all heavy breed turkeys during July through December 1963 were down 1 percent from the corresponding period of the previous year. The July December 1963 testings of lights were up 15 percent from the same months last year , Testings of breeder hens indicate that hatching egg supplies will be adequate to permit turkey growers to expand output this year.

SNAP BEANS: Florida's winter snap bean crop is fore'cast at 64o, 000 cwt.; '. 2 -per-
cent below last year but 33 per~ent above averag~. The mid-January
freeze h~ some plantings in Dade County and . ~~ .the:.Ev:erglades. Temperatures in
the Pompano area were not low enough to freeze , vipes...but cold, strong winds . .
burne.d leaves and caused bloom drop. During Jan'-lL'Y, most bush bean production came from the Pompano area and practically .all po~ J:>ean movement was from Dade County~ S~pplies from these areas should conti~~ . moderately. heavy in February.
CABBAGE:' , Production of winter cabbage is e~e.ct~d-to total 6,856,000 cWt., 4
~.
percent above both 1963 and average.. In Florida, the mid-January freeze .'
was preceded and followed by heavy rains - especially in the North and Central
areas. Cabbage in the heavy producing Hastings area shows the effect of the
adverse weather. Quality has been variable and close grading is necessary.
Supplies . f'rom Hastings and Sanford are expected to be lighter than normal during
Februa~:: , Volumlr from the Everglades has been heavy and steady. Some selective
harvest ~ ~s necessary after the freeze in this area but quality was generally
good. In Texas,intermittent cold weather during January slowed growth. However,
cabbage moved in volume from the Rio Grande Valley and is expected to continue
in volume through most ot March. In the Winter Garden area, movement declined
the last half of January. Supplies from this area will be light during February
and increase during March. Harvest of early fields around San Antonio is near-
ing completion. A light acreage will be harvested during March and April.
Volume from Arizona continues light. Supplies are expected to increase during
February but will not be large. Cuttings in California's Imperial Valley were
light during January. Volume will increase rapidly during February and volume
movement will continue into March. Harvest in the central and southern coastal
districts continues although gro~h and maturity was slowed by cool weather
earlier in the season.
SWEET CORN: Winter production of ~weet corn in Florida is forecast at 66o,ooo cvt., 9 percent above last year's crop. Harvest was active in the
Everglades, P(;mpano ~Blld Fort Irtv~rs area by .late January. Earliest fields in the
Dade County area are near maturity. Most January supplies came from the Everglades Movement dropped sharply during the last half of January as a result ot cool temperatures during most of the month and a severe freeze in mid-January.
Loss of acreage occurred in the Everglades, Dade County and th~ Fort Myers area as a result of the freeze. Acreage in the Pompano area was not damaged.
CUCUMBERS: Florida's winter cucumber crop is now forecast at 147,000 cwt., 5 percent below last year but more than twice the five year average. Light
supplies are coming from the Ft. Myers-Immokalee and Pompano-Martin areas. Volume production is expected to be available by late February and i ncrease seasonally into March.
ONIONS: Early spring onions in all South Texas areas made satisfactory progress during January -and were in good condition on February 1. Frosts and a
freeze in mid-January and foggy misty weather in late January did not materially affect the outlook. In the Rio Grande Valley, light movement will start the last half of February, and volume is expected from March 15 to April 15. In the Laredo area transplanting was completed in early January. Freezing temperatures around mid-January caused some tip burn. No movement is expected from this area

United States Milk Production
ijnited States milk production in January was 10,066 million pounds, the same as the revised estimate for January 1963 and 2 percent above the 1958-62 average for the month. January was the first month since November 1962 that milk
production held up to a year earlier. 1be seasonal increase in milk production
from December was about 4 percent, compared.with an increase of 3 percent between
December and January a year ago. Above-normal temperatures in important daicy areas during January favored milk production, in contrast to unusually cold weather t hroughout the country in both the previous month and a year earlier.
January milk production arnounted to 1. 70 pounds per person daily, compared with 1.73 pounds in January 1963.
For the United States, milk output averaged 620 pounds per cow in January -up 3.5 percent from .a year earlier and 13 percent abovs the 5-year average for the month. The average daily rate of 20.0 pounds during January was up 4' 'percent
from December, compared with an increase of 3 percent at this season a year ago. Rates per cow were sharply higher ; than in January last year in several mid~ western States, as a result of unusually mild ~oJeather. New Jersey led all States in milk output per cow in January, followed closely by Arizona and California.

Early Spring Cabbage Acreage DoHn 17 Percent: Georgia growers e xpe ct
to harvest 2,500 acre~~ :
in 1964. This compare s with 3,000 acres last year and a 5-year average (1958-62)
of 3,400 acres. Excessive moisture and cold -v;eather have retarded growth and
caused poor stands. Little or no harvesting is eXpected before mid-April.
UNITED STATES : v.Jatermelons : Based on grm.-vers' intentions, 199,300 acres of
early sl.llnmer watermelons are e:;;timated for harvest
.t .his year. Jf .the.se i .ntentions are. realized, the .'1964 acreage will be 2 percent below l as t year and 10 percent below average. Decreases in Alabama and Texas Here
only partially off set by small incr eas es in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Land prepara:t.i.PP.:.i.n. t~be squ,th central and south east. .States has been at a ctandstill as cold,
wet weather held up fi eld operations. In south Texas , planting began in late January and is near completion. Some e arly acr eage was replanted ~cause of := :
fre ezing' tempera:t-irres. Late February rain was bel1eficial but warm weather is
needed. Seeding :is expected to begin in central 'and east Texas durihg the 'first
half of.-i-farch. Land .preparation has been completed and moisture is adequate . ih the se al'eas. In Arizona, planting is well .along in the Salt F..iver Valley 1~i th
piartt's in . e arlie st fields beginning to emerge.
Cabbage: Production of winter cabbage is forecast at 6, 96r:;ooo
cwt.; 5 percent above both 1963 and average. Florida 1s
movemeri( imd qua.~ity was do-wn .in February because of the mid-January fr~rez e and fre quent rains follm-ved by below normal temp eratures in February. Harvest in the important Hastings area continued active with selective .harvest necessary~ 'fields Jl,r.e .low. The Everglade s furnished steady supplies during the month. .Supplies . were also avail able from the Sanford-Oviedo, Zell wood, ? lant Cit~r , Sarasota, wauchula, and Dade County areJ.s. HarveRt. >vas active in the R'io Grande Valley in Texas during February. This crop is expected to move in fair volume throu.gh !~arch. Freezing temperature on February 8 caused some damage to y0ung plants. Older plants were not damaged. In t he t-:inter Garden and San Antonio areas,harvest is near completion although light supplies will be available during March from scattereQ. plantings in the Winter Garden area. Li ght to moderate supplies will be $.\Tatiable from Laredo and Coastal Bend areas during Harch. I n Arizona, a light volume was harvested in the Salt Piver Valley and Yuma areas during February, with increasing supplies expected in 11arch. Cold vreather during the month retarded growth in s ome fields. J.:n California, movement from Imperial Valley and south coastal areas increased .during February with peak shipments reached during the latter part of the month.
Preliminary estimates of the early spring cabbage acreage for harvest total 11,1.50 acres , 8 pe rcent belm-v la st year and 18 percent below average. Cold, wet weat her in south E::rn States during February resul ted in some poor stands.
Snap Beans: The fin al forecast of Florida's winter snap bean
crop, at 501,000 cwt., is 23 p ercent below last year
but 4 percent above average. Below normal temperatures during the last three
weeks of February held back grm.Jth and maturity of the crop. ~iost bush b ean volume continued to come from the Pompano area. Quality was fair to good. All pole be an supplies are coming from Dade County and quality is mostly good. High -rrinds for several days during the month caused damage to pla.nts in both producing areas.

United States PROSPECTIVE PLANTINGS FOR 1964
Intended Acreage of 17 Spring Plant:eq QI\PP s .j]p.changed: Planting intentions of the Nation's farmers in-
clude a total of 261 million acres for the 17 crops 9overed by the March l planting intentions survey. This acreage is the same as last year but 2 percent more than in 1962. If growers carry out the;ir plans for the 17 crops and allowance is made for other crops not surveyed this March, the 1964 total planted acreage of all crops could total 310 million acres. This would be the largest acreage since
1960 but still the fourth smallest of record. :.Acreage estimates of winter wheat and rye are based on December 1, 1963 figures. '

- for all purposes~
Feed Grain Acreage Shrinks 3.4 ~tillion Acres: If grower plans on March 1 are
realized, the total acreage planted to the four feed grains -- corn, oats, barley and sorghums -- would be 3 percent less than in 1963 and a tenth below the 19.58-62 averag.e. The decline to 127 million acres indicated for 1964 was led by a 7 percent smaller b~ley acreage followed by a 4 percent drop in oats. Corn acreage is expected to be nearly 2 percent smaller while the prospective sorghum acreage is less than a percent be- . low last year. Prospective corn acreage is down sharply in the western Corn Belt
States led by reductions of more than a half million acres each in Iowa and Nebraska.
Soybeans: Grovrers intend to plant a record 31.8 million acres of soybeans
alone for all purposes in 1964, 8 percent above last year's record acreage and 23 percent more than the 5-year average. Acreage increases are expected in all producing areas.
Peanuts: Peanut growers intend to plant 1,526,400 acres of peanuts alone in 1964, slightly below the 1,.533,300 acres planted last year and about
4 percent less than the 19.58-62 average of 1,.582,400 acres. The estimated acreage planted alone includes acreage for picking and threshing, hay, hogging off, and other purposes.
Cotton: Based on growers' plans as reported March 1, the 1964 cotton acreage to be planted is indicated at 14,833,000 acres, slightly less than the
14,836,000 acres planted in 1963. The 5-year average is 15,43.5,000.
Tobacco: If producers' intentions to set 1,07.5,900 acres of all tobaccos .
are follovred, 1964 acreage will be the lowest since 1908.

Georgi a: Spring plapting to Apri
as consid.erably_ behind. the normal .sche..dule
be.cause of continuing cold weather and wet soils. Little planting was
done before the ..second half of l'A.arch and was just under way good in South Georgia
on Ap. .ri.l 1.. .Practically no field work had been done in Central and North .Georgia.
Since April 1, planting has increased but has been interrupted by additional rains. To date, progress is well behind the late start last year and much later thlin normai
. J?e1ow freezing temperatures on March 30 and 31 caused serious damage to the
pea~h .. crop north of .the Fall Line. Reports indicate the crop was almost wiped out in this area. Damage was spotty in the Fort Valley area as some orchards came through with fairly good production prospects. Orchards south of the Fort Valley area received little damage
.Georgia's 1964 wheat crop is estimated at 1,968,000 bushels compared with
1,848~000 bushels last year. The production increase results from an increase in acreage.
Planting of vegetable crops in central and southern areas was delayed by wet, cold soils. Growth of early vegetables was retarded by cold weather and many early plantings were damaged by frost in late March. Harvest of early ~ spring cabbage is expected to begin by mid-April.
AD estimated 83 million pounds of milk was produced in Georgia during March compared with 82 million pounds for the same month last year.
Eggs produced on Georgia farms during March totaled 292 million, well above the 271 million produced a year earlier and establishes an all-time monthly production record. Layers on hand totaled 15,362,000 this March compared with 14,490,dQO in March 1963.
Wi nter pastures are furnishing good grazing and summer grasses are showing considerable growth, especially in South Georgia.
United States: Winter wheat survived the winter months with a minimum of loss
or damage, and entered the spring growing season in good condition. A 12 percent larger crop than last year is forecast as of April 1. Farm
holdings of feed grains were 11 percent larger, wheat stocks were 22 percent less, and soybeans held on farms were 41 percent larger than a year earlier. Nearly
two-thirds more oranges and 1 percent more grapefruit than last year remained to be picked after April 1. Southern peach prospects are down sharply from last year.
E~rly spring v~ge~ables and early and late spring ~otatoes are expected to .be in lighter supply than a year ago. Generally below normal temperatures and frequent
precipitation over much of the Nation in March retarded land preparation and planting of spring crops.
Winter wheat production is forecast at 1,011 million bushels, 12 percent
larger than last year but slightly less than average. The crop, while developing
slowly, survived the winter in good condition and prospects are favorable. The
estimated yield per seeded acre of 23.5 bushels is 2.0 bushels per acre more than
last year but a half bushel below average.
Prospects for the 1964 Southern peach crop are down sharply from last year as a result of the freezes on March 29 and 30. Most of the damage occurred in
the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama with the most severe loss being in North Caro-
lina. Other Southern States report very little damage and expect a good crop.
Very little winter freeze damage is reported outside of the southern states.

March ~ production in the Nation was 5, 170 million eggs, ll' percent above February and 2 percent more than March 1963. An increase in rate of lay and the

United States rulk Production
Yulk production in the United States during ~rch is estL~ated at 11,007
million pounds, 1 percent above a year earlier and a record high for the month.
On a daily average =:,asis, the ,seasonal increase from February to H.:rrch was 5
percent, comp;ired -with .a 4 percant gain last year. Relative to population, Harch milk production was l. 86 pounds per person d:J.ily, the same as a year
earlier. 1\fu:rch milk output averaged 681 pou..11.ds per cow -- a 5 percent gain over the s'@lle month last year and 13 percent above the 1958-62 averaee for the month.
Reported condition of dairy pastures on April l averaged 72 percent of
normal for the United States -- 2 points below a year earlier and 5 points below
the. 1958-62 average for the date. In :many a::-eas, the poor spring prospects were
the result of damage from extended drought last s~rnmer and fall. Unusually cold weather during the last half of Harch delayed spring pasture grow-th. Grain and
concentrates fed to milk cows in reporters' herd s on April l averaged 9.4 pounds
per cow, one-~alf potmd more than a year earlier.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCH.F.;RY REPORT
' Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended April 11 was 8, 161,000 -- 1 percent more than in the previous week but 4 percent less than in the comparable week last year, accor-ding to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 11, 246, 000 broiler type eggs were: se t by Georgi~ hatcheries -- 2 percent more than in the previous week and 6 percent less th~n in the com-
parable ~eek a year earlier.
The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching
eggs were reported within a range of 45 to 65 cents per dozen. The averages
were 56 cents for all hatching eggs and 54 cents for eggs purchased at the farm
from flocks with hat che ry owned cockerels . Most prices received for broiler
, chic~~s by. Georgia hat cherie s were reported within a rap.ge of $6.00 to $9.00 with an average o'f $8. 25 per hundred. Tlle aver.ag~_ pri <;: es_last year were 68 cents for
eggs and $10 ~ 00 for chicks.

FOURTH in egg production
Commercial Broilers: Production of commercial broilers in Georgia for 1963 se t a new record high witb a total of almost 360 million birds according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is the thirteenth consecutive year in which Georgia has led the nation in broiler production. Growth rate of the broiler production enterprise in Georgia has slowed in recent years. In 1958 Georgia grew . 17.6 percent of the nation's broilers, 117% more than North Carolina the second ranking st~te. In 1963, Georgia grew 16.7 percent of the nation's broilers and -58 percent more than the second ranking state, Arkansas.
Egg Production: Expansion of the egg production enterprise continued during 1963. Production of 3, 014 m i llion eggs was 17 percent more than the 1962 production. Georgia's rank in egg production in the nation was fourth behind California, Iowa and Pennsylvania. In value of eggs sold, Georgia was second to California. The total value of eggs in Georgia was influenced considerably by the large production of hatching eggs that sell for premium prices.
The gross income (sales plus value of home consumption) from chickens ~nd eggs of 117 million dollars exceeds the value of any other agricultural enterprise in Georgia except commercial broilers.
Chicken and Eggs: Gross income from all chickens and eggs including commercial broilers was 286 million dollars in 1963. This was the seventh year peorgia has led the nation in gross income from all chickens and eggs. California was the second ranking state with 239 million dollars followed by North Carolina with 184 million dollars and Alabama with 180 million dolla;s,
Cash receipts from all chickens and eggs of 274 million dollars accounted for almost one third of the total from all farm marketings in Georgia in 1963.
Distribution of Egg Production and Income
Commercial Flocks (!'~locks of 400 birds or more not used for hatching) The number of layers durtng 1963 averaged 9, 757, 000 - 32 percent more than in 1962, and accounted for 71 percent o(eggs produced in the state and 63 percent of cash receipts from eggs.
Hatching Egg Flocks averaged 3, 458, 000 layers - 1 percent more than in 1962. Egg production totaled 663 million- 3 percent less than in 1962 but accounted for 22 percent of eggs produced in the state and 33 percent of cash receipts from eggs.
Farm Flocks averaged 1, 294,000 layers during the year - 19 percent less ~han in 1962. Egg production at 218 million was 2.1 percent less than a year earlier.
Farm flocks accounted for 7 percent of eggs produced in state which represents 4
percent of the total cash receipts from all eggs. Ninety-four percent of the eggs --
consumed on farms where produced were from farm flocks.

GEORGIA CASH RECEIPTS FROM LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY
UP 7 Mll..LION DOLLARS. IN 1963
Cash Receipts of Georgia farmers for livestock and poultry in 1963 amounted to $445,141,000, according to the Geargia Crop Reporting Service. This was about 7 million dolla.rs above the revised 1962 total of $1~38,094,000. Receipts were
below the previous year for all livestock items - cattle and hogs Were off rather
sharply while dairy products, sheep and wool registered smaller declines . Poultry
and poultry products receipts were somewhat above 1962 levels, Receipts from Georgia broilers were the highest in the Nation at $168,799,000 - slightly above the $168,031,000 in 1962. other Chickens showed a moderate increase and receipts from eggs were up 18 percent at $105,552,000. The value of turkey sales, although
relatively small, was nearly doubled during the year.
Cash receipts from individual crops will be published in August, 1964.

GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF ~ffiY 1, 1964
Frequent rains and wet soils restricted field work the first half of April. Conditions improved for short periods during the second half of the month and con-
siderable planting progress was made, especially in southern districts. On May 1, tobacco transplanting was complete and the crop was pff to a good start. Seeding
cotton, corn, and peanuts was behind schedule as gnly 70 percent of the corn, 62 percent of t he cotton, and 52 percent of the peanut acreage toms planted. Last year at this time about 85 percent of corn, 83 percent of cotton,and 78 percent of the peanut acrBage hau been seeded.
Early planted crops came up to even stands and were making good growth, but heavy rains in early May caused considerable damage, especially in low-lying areas. Replanting was necessary in many of these areas. Much fertilizer was lost to leach~ ing and erosion.
SHORT PEACH CROf: Georgia's 1964 commercial and farm peach crop is forecast at 1,500,000 bushels, only 28 percent of the 5,400,000 bushels pro-
duced last year. Very fe w peaches will be harvested north of Perry and Fort Valley as a result of the iYlarch freeze. South of these areas, prospects are irregular. Some orchards in the lViarshallville - l'1ontezuma area have good crops. Prospects in the Barney area are good and first movement there was . expected May 11, with volume harvest about mid~onth. First harvest in the Fort Valley area is expected on lviay 18, but will not be in volume until late I"lay.
~T PRODUCTION ~: Production of wheat in Georgia this year is currently forecast at 2,052,000 bushels - 11 percent more than harvested last
year and 8 percent above average. An increase in acreage is responsible for the production increase. Yield per acre is estimated at 27 bushels.
~~PRODUCTION: Milk production during April is estimated at 86 million pounds -
4 percent more than the previous month and 2 percent above last
April's output. Pastures are in good condition as the result of frequent rains
during the month.
EGG PRODUCTION: Hens on Georgia farms laid an estimated 290 million eggs during April, compared with 272 million during the same month last year.
Hens and pullets of laying age totaled 15,412,000, compared with 14, 658,000 on hand during April 1963.

as Winter wheat prospects were about the same on May 1 a month ago and indi-
cations point to a crop 12 percent larger than in 1963. General field wcrk lagged across the country because of wet soils and cool weather. Peach prospects were reduced sharply by late March freezes and the expected 1964 crop is . about onefourth as large as last year. Citrus production from the 1963 bloom is expected to be 3 percent below last year and 20 percent below average. Spring and early summer vegetable and melon crops are expected to be smaller than last year but above average. Hay. f;ltocks on }1ay 1 were .15 percent below a year earlier .and 11 percent below average. Hay and pasture condition for the Nation is about average for May 1 but better than last .year.
1/l!inter Wheat Prospects Little Changed: E~pected production of the 1964 winter wheat crop was about the same on May l _as
a month ago and remains above last yearts crop but slightly below the 1958-62 average. Improved prospects in most of the eastern two..-thirds of the Nation offset
declines in many western States and the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle areas, southwest Kansas, and southeast Colorado, where dry weather continued to prevail through
April. The indicated production of 1,013 million bushels is 12 percent larger than the 1963 crop but a little below average. The expected yield is 26.9 bushels per harvested acre compared with the 1963 and average yield of 26.1 bushels per acre. By the end of April, the crop was starting to head as far north as southern Kansas.
~March Fre~s R~duce Peach Prospects Sharply in Southern Area: Peach produc-
.
tion in the
9 southern peach States was sharply curtailed because of .late March freezes, es-
pecially in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama~ The southern
peach crop is expected to be about one-fourth of last year and only one-third av~
erage. There has been little damage to fruit crops this season other than to the
Southeastern peach crop and to some cherries and peaches in Washington and Oregon
and possibly apricots in Utah. Throughout much of the country tree fruits other
than apples had bloomed before May 1 and _in general prospects are good. In the
northernmost States and at higher elevations, some of the fruits were just coming
into blo_om by early !1ay. Although 'most apples had not come into bloom by May 1,
grot-rers were optimistic since there had :been little freeze damage. California. has
had an above average set of most fruits. Cool weather the last part of April
brought frost and hail damage in many areas. ~here was heavy damage to some grapes
and walnuts in the north central counties and to some pears .in mountain areas, but
the overall effect on the State's total ~ fruit prospects was minor. Plums, peaches,
and apricots have also had scattered hail and frost damage.
The 1963-64 U. s. citrus crop is expected to be 3 percent below last year and
20 percent below average. An estimated 32 million boxes Of oranges and 4.1 million boxes of grapefruit remained for harvest after May 1. A year ago 20 million boxes
of oranges and 3.5 million boxes of grapefruit remained for harve~t. A smaller
quantity of eitrus has been used by processors than last season when freeze damage was a factor.
April Milk Production Record High -- Eggs About Same as Year Earlier: April milk
production
in the United States reached a record high for the month, 1 percent more than in
April 1963. For the first four months, average daily milk production was about
1 percent above the corresponding period last year. April egg production was about
the s_ame as a year earlier. A decline from a year earlter in the North Central
States was offset by increased production in other regions of the country except
in the North Atlantic Region which was about the same. Production in the South
Atlantic and Western regions were at record levels for April. The average numbe'r
of laying hens on farms during April was the same as in April 1963 while the rate
of lay was up slightly.

* * * GEORGIA * * *
On May 1 ~ ve getable crops in Georgia were makin 0 reasonably good proyress i.n spite of cool temperatures and heavy rains that had occurred durin y much of A~ril. Cabba se movement was reaching its peak and harvest of onions was expected to be ~ in the first week in May. Marketin :J of early cucumbers and snap beans was expected to ~egin around mid-May. Watermelons, cantaloups, and tomatoes were slightly later than u~ual, but were makin 0 good growth.
* ***UNITED STATES * *
Sprin y ve yetable output of 38.5 mi~l ion hundredwei sht is 3 percent less than
last year but 2 percent above avera~c.
SNAP BE.\NS: The first forecast of mid-spring snap iJean p roduction is 369,000 hundredwei ght, 5 percent above last year and 4 percent above the
1958- 62 average.
C:\BB '\GE: Estimated production of early spring Ci3bbas e is 1,563,000 hundredweight, 7 percent below last year and 10 percent below avera ~ e.
CANTI\LOUPS: The acreage of early .summer cantaloups for harvest in 1)61+ is placed at 10,950--3 p~rcent below the 11,300 acres harvested in 1963. In
Georgia, excessive moisture and cool weather delayed plantin g and slowed yrowth. Harvest . is expected to be 10. to 15 days later than normal. In South Carol ina, plantin 0s are virtually complete. Vines are only in fair condition due to the cool temperatures prior to mid-April. The central Arizona crop is in good condition, althou gh the cool spring weather retarded plant ~rowth. Harvest is expected to start in late June, a few days later than normal.
S ~JEET CORN: The first forecast for the late spring States is 717,000 hundredwei j ht 4 percent less than last year and 11 percent below avera~e.
ONIONS: The first forecast of the late spriny onion crop places the 1964 production at 1,907,000 hundredwei ght, 2 percent above 1963 but 12 percent
below avera ~e. Larger acreage for 1904 compared with 1963 more than offset the smaller yield expected this year
TOMATOES: The crop of late spring tomatoes, forecast at 972,000 hundredweight, is
5 percent below last year and 4 percent below average. The reduced
production is the result of decreased plantin gs in South Ca rol ina, Georgia~ and
Mississippi. The Georg ia crop is in generally good condition with first pickings
expected in - late May from the Glennvi 1J'e area. Sta nds in South Carol ina are
uneve n. Plants that survived the March freeze are mostly in the bloom sta ge and
are in yood condition. In Mississippi, cold, wet weather delayed transplantin ~
and harvest will be about two weeks late. Louisiana tomatoes are in good condition,
Pickin ~ in the New Orleans area shoulc.i start about May 20. Cool weather has
slowed p lant development in Texas.
CUCUI1BE,{S: The late sprin q cucumber production totals 1,077,000 hundredwei ~ ht, 2 percent below the 1 ~6 3 crop but 5 percent above avera ~ e. Increased
production this year in North Carol ina and Louisiana is more than offset by a decrease in South Carolina. Other States remain unchanged from last year.
WATE~MELONS: The estimated production of late sprin g watermelons is 9,3 51,000 hundredweight, l o percent below the 1963 crop but 3 percent above
the 5-year average. Growers of early summer watermelons have 20),400 acres for harvest - -S percent above the intentions report and 3 percent above 1963. This acrea 9e is G percent below the 1 9~ 8-62 avera ge. In Geor g ia, stands arc in good condition. In 1\labama, Mississippi, and Arkansas, cold, wet weather resulted in a delayed planting. In Louisiana, the majority of the acreage is up and plants are in 900d condition. Growers in most areas of Oklahoma have finished plantin~ but only a small portion of the crop has germinated. In South Texas, vines are in good condition. Li ght harvest is expected to begin about May 20. Arizona watermelons are ~enerally in good condition but plant growth has been retarded by cool weather. Planting continues in many areas of California's San Joaquin Valley. Some northern areas of the Valley have considerable acrea ~e yet to be planted.

.. . ;
Gt01 Glf.\: ~leather conditions duriny April were favorable for the peach crop and the fruit that was not .killed or dama ~Jed by the March 30 and 31
freeze made rapid growth. P"roduction prospects vary from li :;ht to complete failure in most orchards north of Perry and Fort Valley. South of these areas, prospects
are very .irregular. Some orchards in Marshallville and Montezuma area have ~JOOd crops. Prospects are good in the Barney area . The first movement from the Barney section was , expeceted .py May 11, with volume movement by mid-May. First harvest from Fort Valley is expected on May lo , and volume supply will be available by the
last of May. The total crop, commercial and farm, is estimated at 1,500,000
bushels. This is only 2~ percent of the 5, 400,000 bushels produced in 1963.
SoutH Carol ina: The peach crop in South Carolina is extremely short because of the freezes on March 30 and 31. Hail on April 24 caused
further dama !Je in parts of Greenville and Spartanburg counties, For the Sta.te as a whole, prospects vary _by orchards and even within or~hards, There are not= enough peaches left in some areas to \'Jarrant spraying. /\ 11 important areas of th~ .
State will produce some peaches, However, the crop in the Piedmont and Uprer Sandhills will be extremely short. The tot~l production is expected to be
900,000 bushels compared with 7, 800,000 last year,
North Carol ina: The North Carol ina peach crop was reducacf drastically uy the March fre eze. May 1 estimate of .150,000 bushels is only .10
percent of last year s crop,
\ l abama: Losses to Ala bama peaches. as a result of the March .JO "freeze con- . t inued to some extent throughout the month. Sma 11 peaches have .
cent i nued droppin g, even thou gh they appear to be hea 1thy. ;\dd it iona l" damage w<!"S
caused by widespread hail at the end of the month. There was 1ittle freeze dama ge south of Chilton County . The crop will be very short in Chilton, Cullman, and Blount Counties.
Arkansas: Production will be 1i ~ ht in some orchards a~ a tesult of the late
March freezes. However, most trees have a good set of peaches,
and considerable thinnin g will be necessary. Moisture supply is abundant in all
commercial areas. Total production is expected to be 1,300,000 bushels. In 1963,
the crop was 1,470,000 bushels.
Louisiana: There was .little freeze dama ::Je in Louisiana. A good crop is expected In the principal areas. Harvest is expected to start
about May 15 and will be yeneral by May 25. The bulk of the crop will be harvested the first half of June.
Mississippi: Cold dama 9e was li yht in most areas and about an avera ge production is expected.
California: The Clingstone peach crop is developin g normally. Only 1ight dama 9e has occurred from frost and hail. Fruit set was above
average in most areas and thinnin ~ in extra ear!y and early maturin g orchards is under way. Production prospects are good. Prospects for the California Freestone peach crop are also good. Development of the crop is normal,
Colorado: Peach crop prospects in Colorado are good. Effects of the sprin~
freeze in 1963 are still evident on some trees but production shoul d be well above the short 1963 crop. Elsewhere in the Nation, there has been
a minimum of frost and freeze dama ge prior to May 1 and prospects are JOod.
Please turn pa ~e
Nine S6uthern States: Paach production in the 9 southern States is f6recast
at 5,275,000 bushels. This is 72 percent below the large 1~63 crop. harvested in these 9 States and 68 percent below avera ge. Severe freezin g w~ather in late March, when most trees were in bloom, did extensive dama ge in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama. Other States in this regi.on were not materially affected by the March freeze. However, only Louisiana expects a crop as large as in 1963. There will be some production in all areas of those States where the freeze took a heavy toll of the crop.

United States Milk Production
April milk production in the United States is estimated at 11,346 million pounds, 1 percent more than in April 1963 and a record high for the month. On
a daily avera ge basis the increase !n production from March to April was 6 percent, the same seasonal gain as in '1963. Reiative to population, production amounted to 1e97 pounds per person daily, compared with 1.98 pounds in April last year. Milk production per cow avera9ed 704 pounds in April, 5 percent
above a year earlier for the second successive month.
Reported condition of dairy pastures on May I averayed 85 percent of normal for the United States. This is 5 points above this date a year ago;. and equal to . the 1958-62 average for the .date. On May I pastures were in much better condition than a year eariier in most Southern States, as a result of abundant rainfall. In the West, spring pasture growth was slowed by cool
weather during April.

PARITY RATIO 75
ouring tlie -month ended May 15, the Index of Prices Received by Farmers
decl in.ed 1 point (2/.S of I percent) to 235 percent of its 1910-11~ average. Con-
tributing most to the decline were lower pdces for cattle, wholesale milk, and eggs. Partially off~etting were higher prices for potatoes, apples, and hogs. The Index wa~ 2 percent below May 1963 and the lowest for the month .since i-957.
The Index of Prices Paid by Farmers, including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates, receded I P.Oint (1/3 of I p~rcent) during the month from the record high in April. Lower prices for fe~der livestock and 1 ivestock feed were pri-
marily responsible. At 313, the Index was 1 point above a year earlier.
With both farm product prices and prices paid by farmers off 1 point in
May, the Parity Ratio, at 75. was unchanged from April.

June 11, 1964.
.: :
Crop pr~spects on June 1 were generally favorable, although a little later .' - . than normal over much of the State, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Heavy rains fell in most areas the first week in May, but during the rest of t.he month, rainfall wa~ light and soils were becoming dry in many sections. ,.
Since. June 1, rainfall has been scattered. Crops .in the drier areas are sufferirig from the lack of moisture. The dry t.veather, however, has been ideal for =: harvesting grains and curing h~y.
reach -Crop ~ho~~: The ~une 1 forecast of Georgia's 1964 peach crop was
. .
1,500,000 bushels, unchanged from the estimate a month ag_o.
Harvest of early varieties was active sou~h of Fort Valley on June 1. Harvest is
expected to become active in the Fort Valley area by mid-month. Volume from the
northern part of the peach belt will be_quite light.
Wheat Yiel!gg Good: A record wheat yield of 30 bushels per acre was indicated on June 1. Total production was estimated at 2.,280,000
bushels-- 23 percent more than produced last year. The increase in production is the result of an increase in acreage and higher yields.
June Egg Production Sets New Record: Egg production on Georgia farms during
.
. Nay. is estimated at 300 million, 9 per-
cent above the 275 million produced in Nay last year. Layers on hand during .Hay
averaged 15,320,000 compared with 14,496,000 a _..year earlier.
}lilk Production Decline: Milk production in Georgia during May is estimated at 83 million poun~s, 3 percent less th~n produced
the previous month and 2 percent less than the output in May 1963. A reduction in
the number of milk cows. was responsible for the decline from a year ago.
Winter wheat prospects declined 3 percent during May as continued dry weather hurt acreages in parts of the Central and Southern Plains and the Pacific Northwest. Although lower than last month, the expected 1964 crop is sti11 8 percent larger than l'ast year. Spring wheat progress is a litt~e slower th.an in 1963, but prospects are fdr a crop almost equaling last year. Dry May weather enabled farmers to make up for lost time and planting of row crops was about normal by June 1. Hay and pasture conditions declined during 1'1ay, but .are more favorable than . a year ear:lier. Indicated peach production is smaller than last year, but .most other fruit crops are expected to..be larger.
Winter Wheat ..Pros;?etS Decline But Exceed Last Ym:: The expected 1964 pro_duction of winter wheat
declined during Hay as strong uinds and deficient moisture put a heavy strain on maturing wheat,especia~ly in the Southern Plains areas. Damage centered in the previously dry areas of southwestern Kansas, southeastern Colorad~ and the Panhandle areas of Oklahoma and Texas where further loss of acreage occurred as well as reduced prospects in remaining fields. Continued cool and dry weather hampered tvheat development in the Pacific Northwest. Rains around June 1 over most wheat areas enhanced prospects for acreage that was still green and growing, partially offsetting losses in the areas where the crop matured before the rains. Wheat development in the Corn Belt area was generally satisfactory during May. The June 1 indicated production for the 1964 winter wheat crop is 981 million bushels, 3 percent less than last month's forecas t , 8 percent larger than the 1963 crop, but 4 percent smaller than average.

General Crop Report for the United States As of June 1, 1964, continued:
Peaches: The Nation's 1964 peach estimate is 73.3 million bushels, down 1 percent from 1963, 2 percent below average, and the smallest crop since
1958'. Excluding the California Clingstone crop, which is used mostly for cann.tng, the remainder of the U. So crop forecast is 38.1 million bushels, down 12 percent from 1963 and 22 percent from average. Most of the 1964 decline is due to freeze
damage in four Southeastern States - ... the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama.
Production of 5,285,000 bushels is forecast for the 9 southern Stat.es. This
is relatively unchanged from the May 1 forecast and is not much more than one~
fourth the size of the large 1963 Scuthern crop and about oneathird as large as
average. Most of the loss occurred in the Carolinas and Georgia ~ the heavy pro-
ducing States. In Georgia, the harvest of Maygold, Redcap, Dixired, and Cardinal varieties was active south of Fort Valley and will increase in the Fort Valley area during the first two weeks of Junee Volume from north of Fort Valley will be quite light. Some early varieties were moving on June 1 from the Allendale, Hampton, and Barm1ell areas as well as the Ridge section of South Carolina. Volume will be light. .Both here and in Georgia it is often necessary to mix varieties to complete loads. From Mississippi westward into Oklahoma and Texas prospects are better although the crop is expected to be below last year. The Elberta crop was hard hit in Chilton county, Alabama and production will be sharply curtailed. In Arkansas where crop prospects are relatively good, harvest of early varieties is expected to start during the second week of June. However, more moist~e is needed for sizing the late varieties. Harvest of a good crop in Louisiana and Texas started after mid~ay with volume movement expected in early June.
Prospects are good to excellent in the rest of the country - all States ex-
cept Rhode Island expect a crop as large or larger than in 1963.
Milk Producti2n: May milk production for the United States is estimated at
12,330 million pounds. This is slightly higher than the 12,315 million pounds produced in May last year and about equal to the 1958-62 average of 12,331 million poundso In recent years, May has been the peak month in milk flow~ Cumulative production during the first 5 months of 1964 totaled 54,591
million pounds -- 1 percent above the corresponding period last year.
~~ultry and Egg ProductioQ: Egg production during May was 5,765 million eggs, 2 percent more than April 1964, this is 1 percent
more than in May last year, and is the highest for the month since 1959. Layer
numbers during May were down seasonally from the previous month, but the decrease
was less than usual. Rate of lay during May, adjusted for the number of days, is unchanged from April and is up fractionally from May last year. The nwnber of eggs
per layer, January through May, is 2.5 percent above the corresponding period of 1963.
Regions with record low egg production during May were: West North Central
down 6 percent and East North _C~ntral down 5 p13rce.rxt _from last yeBX. Although
down fraciol1ally from a ~~ar earlier in the North Atlantic States, production was not a record low. Increases in May egg production over last year were 6 percent in the South Atlantic, 1 percent in the West .... both record highs .... and 9 percent
in the South Central States.

JUNE 1, 1964
GEORGI ..\ : The need for top-soi 1 moisture around June I in most areas of the State was be g inning to retard s rowth of most early and late-planted sprin g
ve getable and ,melon crops. Early spring cabba ge and onion harvest Is complete. Dry weather in southern areas has caused a very short marke tin g period for snap beans. Harvest of good ~ uality tomatoes be9an in late May and is expected to become general by mid-~une. Only light supplies of cantaloups and watermelons are expected before midJune in southern qreas.
UNITED STATES: Sprinq V~qe tables: Supplies are expected to total 37.7 mill ion
hundredweight (cwt.), 5 percent less than last
year but about the same as the 195L-62 average.
Spring Melons: Volume, at 12.4 mill ion hundredweight, is 22 per-
cent below last year and 5 percent below average.
C :~NTALOUPS: Production of sprin q cantaloups is 3,694,000 hundredweight, 12 percent below last year and about the same as avera ge. The dec) ine from
1963 is principally because of lower yields in Texas and California , The first
estimate of early summer cantaloups places production at 539,000 hundredwei ght, 5
percent below 1963 and 27 percent below average. In South Carolina, vines were ~enerally in the b!'oom stage on June 1. Cool, wet weather during the early growin g season followed by dry weather in May retarded 0rowth. Vine growth has been short but bloom has been good. Movement is expected to start the first week in July. In the southern areas of Georgia, the crop is in yood condition. The ci ry ~eather has caused little damage ~s of June 1 but rains are needed to prevent sheddin g of blooms and small melons. In the central area, where vines are be g innin g to ~ loom, ~oi~ture . is also needed. Harvest was expected to start the first \'.leek in June. In Arizona, vine growth and fruit set are good. Harvest is expected to start about June 25.
~
'SYEET coRN: The late spring sweet corn crop is estimated at 703,000 hundredwei ght, 6 percent less than the 1963 production of 746,000 hundredweight, and
'J2 percent under average. In i\Jabama, the crop was in good condition on June I but moisture is needed for continued growth. In Georgia, prospects have b~en redu.ced by dry weather. Li ght volume was expected in early June with increased supplies by mid~June. Volume movement of the South Carol ina crop is expected to get under way by the first of July.
CUCUMBERS: The late sprtQg production, estimated at 1,069,000 hundredweight, is 3 percent Jess than last year but 4 percent above average. In North
Carol ina, plants were puttin g out runners and blooming heavily by June I. In South Carolina, harvest started the last of May with heavy movement expected ~y mid-June. In Georgia, picking was active in late May with good yields and quality. Increased volume was expected in early June with the peak occurring about midmonth. In Alabama, I i ~ ht harvest had started in southern areas by June I. Rain is needed. In Louisiana, heaviest volume is expected about June 10 with harvest lastin g until about the end of the month
TOM:-\TOES: Late spring production, estimated at 961,000 hundredweight, is 6 percent less than last year and ) percent less than average. The South
Carol ina crop is in good condition. Li8ht picking was expected in early June, increasing to a peak about June 20. In Georgia, all producing areas needed rain. Light harvestin~ began in late May and was expected to peak around mid-June ~ In Texas, light picking was under way in the Upper Coast and central Texas by the en d of May. Supplies will be available from eastern areas early in June with production starting in northeast Texas around mid-June.
::ATERMELONS: Production of Jate sprinq watermelons is 8,406,000 hundredweight, 26 percent below 1963 and 8 percent below average. The decline in
prospects from May I occurred in Florida where dry weather materially affected development of the crop. Dry weather In South Florida has prevailed in most areas since May 2. Harvest in this area was in the clean-up stage on June I. In the northern areas, prospects are below normal as a result of various extremes of weather conditions. Harvest in the Live Oak area was expected to start a bout June 10-12. Harvest in west Florida is expected to start about mid-June.
Production of the early su~mer watermelon crop is forecast at 16,421,000
hun d redwei ght, 3 percent a bove 1963 but 3 percent below average. Vine condition
(Please turn page)
in South Carol ina is good, in spite of the dry weather. Peak movement is expected by mid-July. The heavy rains in early May in Georgia caused damage to planted acreage. Stands are generally good but consideraole replanti.'ng was
necessary. Growth of vines is about one week later than normal. Harvest was ex
pected in southern counties by the second week of June with increasing volume by mid~June. Volume movement was not expected before the second week of July in the
central producing areas. In Alabama, weather conditions during May were favor-
able. Stands are generally goocl but the crop is late. General rains in Mississippi the last of May were beneficial to the melon crop. Light movement
should start about the first of July in the southeastern part of the State. In T:exas, harvest started in late May in the Rio Grande Valley,Falfurrias-HebronVi lle . a.nd Winter Garden areas. Rains about mid-May improved prospects for dryl.a.nd acrea~e in these areas. Movement from these areas is expected t.o continue
in good volume throughout the first half of June. In the upper coast and San /\ntoni.o .areas',, )r'latermelons are making good progress. Harvest should start around mid~June and continue into July. In central and eastern areas of the State, vines are setting. The earlier planted areas in central Texas should be in production the latter half of June with movement continuing through July. Northern acreage will furnish production through August.

United States Milk Production
United States mi~c output in May is estimated at 121 330 million pounds, slightly higher than the 12,315 million pounds produced a year earlier and nearly equal to the 1958-62 average for the month. On a daily basis, the seasonal increase in production from April to tvlay 1rras 5 percent compared with 6 percent in 1963. May milk production was equivalent to 2.07 pounds per person daily compared with 2.10 pounds in May 1963. Milk output averaged 767 pounds per cow in May, 3 percent above a year earlier and 11 percent above the 5-year average for the month.
On June 11 condition of the Nation's dairy pastures was reported at 84 percent of normal for the date. This is 5 points higher than the unusually poor condition a year earlier, but 2 points below the 1958-62 average for the date. Pasture growth was slo-vted by light rainfall during Bay in most of the country but June 1 condition was still better than a year earlier in all regions except the \'Test. Reporters fed an average of 7. 7 pounds of grain and other concentrates per
milk cow. on June 1,. 1 percent m1!9 than on that date last year.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY
An estimated 10, 523, 000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries -- 4 percent less than in the previous week and 1 percent more than in the comparable week a year earlier.
':['he majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching
eggs wer~ reported wichin a range of 40 to 65 cents per dozen. The averages
were 54 cents for all ha tching eggs and 53 cents for eggs purchased at the farm
from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels. Most pr ices received for broiler
chicks by Geor.gia hat cheries were reported within a range of $5. 00 to $9. 00 with
an .average of $7.75 per hundred. The average prices last year were 60 cents for
eggs and $8. 25 for chi cks.
The average price reported for broilers during the week ended June 13 was 13. 25 cents per pound fob plant compared with 13. 85 cent s the previous week and 14.35 cents the comparable week last year according to the Federal-State Market

UNITED STATES:
December 1963 - May 1964 Pig Crop Down 8 Percent
The December 1963-May 1964 pig crop for the United States is estimated at 46,479,000 head. This is a decrease of 8 percent from the 50,340,000 pig crop during the corresponding period of a year earlier. Largest reductions in the December-May pig crop In con~arison with a year earlier were in the North Atlantic and South Central reg!.ons with declines of 16 and 14 percent, respectively. Declines in other regions were 9 percent in the West, 8 percent in the South Atlantic, 7 percent in the West North Central, and 6 percent in the East North Centra 1o
Sows farrowing during the December 1963-t-1ay 1964 period totaled 6,434,000 head, 9 percent less than the 7,045,000 sows farrowed during the same period a year earlier. December-May farrowings were 3 percentage points less than indicated by farmers intentions reported on December 1, 1963. December-Hay farrowings and intentions reported last December as a percentage of a year earlier by regions are as follows: North Atlantic, 85 percent now and 94 percent In December; East North Central, 93 and 94; West North Central, 92 and 95; South Atlantic, 91 and 93; South Central, 85 and 90; and Western 90 and 91 percent.
The number of pigs per litter during the December-May period averaged 7.22 compared with 7o15 during the same period last year. Farrowings were down from a year earlier in each month of the December-May period. December farrowings were down 5 percent; January,9 percent; February,12 percent; March,8 percent; April,ll percent; and May,4 percent.
June-November 1964 Intentions Down 7 Percent
June 1 reports from farmers in the United States on breeding intentions indicate 5,62ti,OOO sows will farrow _duLiog the June-November period of 1964~ down 7 percent from the 6,035,000 sows farrowed during the corresponding period of 1963.
If intentions for the June-November farrowings materialize, and the number of pigs saved per litter equals the average plus an allowance for trend, the pig crop for the period will total 40.5 million head, 7 percent less than a year
earlier. The combined pig crop for 1964 would be 87.0 million head, 7 percent
less than the 1963 pig crop.

Crimson ~loV~t seed production lh the Southern States this yea~ Is foiecaii at 3,376,000 pounds, I pe rcent less than the 1963 crop. Reseedin s varietl ~ s such as Dixie, i\utau ga, and Auburn are expected to total 2,122,000 pounds compared with the 1,674,000 pounds produced from these v~rieties last year.
A dry fall, causin ~ late plantings, combined with heavy winter-kill contributed to a reduction In acres harvested In Tennessee and Arkansas. Alabama also

increases. The five-State total of 23,300 acres is 11 percent be low the 26 ,100 acres harvested last year and 54 percent below the 1958-62 avera ge.
Yield per acre In the five-State area Is forecast at 145 pounds. This Ia an Increase of 7 percent from the 135 pound yield In 1963. Tennessee and Arkansas, however, report yiel ds below those of the 1963 crop.
Harvest of crimson clover seed was about 2 days later than last year, but about 3 days earlier than usual. Average beginning dat es of harvest this year were: May 20 in Mississippi, May 22 In Georgia, May 24 In Alabama and Arkansas, and June 2 in Tennessee.
Carryover of old-crop crimson clover seed by 9rowers In the Southern States is estimated at 96,000 pounds, 47 percent Jess than last year's carryover of 181,000 pounds, A report covering June 30, 1964 stocks of old seed held by dealers will be Issued August 6, 1964.
Imports of crfmson clover seed totaled 41~ ,000 pounds between July 1, 1963 and May 31, 1964, There was no crimson clover seed imported for the comparable period last year.

The number of grain-fed cattle sold for slaughter during the April-through~ . June quarter totaled 40,000. This compared with 27, 000 during the same period last year ...and 36,000_during the Jan ..March, 1964 quarter. There were 13,000 cattle and calves placed on feed April through June. This was down sharply from placements during the previous quarter and 6,000 below placements during the same pe~iod of
1963.
Cattle feeders in Georgia indicate they will market 22,000 head during July, August, and September. The remaining 18,000 head on feed . July 1 will be marketed after September 30.
Of the 40,000 cattle and calves on feed July 1, 37,000 were steers and 3,000 v1ere heifer s. A total of 12,000 head had been on feed less than 3 months, 11,000 had been on feed 3-6 months, and the remaining 17;000 hadbeen on feed .more than 6 months.

On July 1, 1964 there were 6,665,000 cattle and calves on feed for slaughter market in 28 major States. This was 3 percent less than the number on feed a year earlier. The number on feed in these States declined 19 percent from April 1 to July .l this year compared Vlith a 16 percent decline for the same period in 1963.
In 32 States for which estimates are available this year, 6,750,000 cattle and calves were on feed July l , compared with 8,406,000 head April 1, 1964

Shipments of stocker and feeder cattle into the 8 Corn Belt States during April and May were down 23 percent from the same period a year earlier. However, inshipments into these States during January, February, and March were up 33 percent from a year earlier.
Fed cattle marketed during April-June were 4,338,000 head in the 28 States, 11 percent more than for the same period of 1963. Marketings were up 15 percent in the North Central States and 4 percent in Western States.
I~rketing Intentions
Cattle feeders in the 28 States plan to market 3,951,000 head during July, August, and September. If these intentions are carried out, marketings will be 6 percent greater than for this period last year. A breakdown of anticipated marketings of Juiy 1 number on feed show 34 percent to be marketed during July, 33 percent in August, and 33 percent in September. Expected marketings, as published, are based upon the usual relationship between survey data and actual marketings.

tJ1UTED STATES CROP SUNl"iARY AS OF JULY 1, 1964
Crop prospects are generally good in the in~ortant North Central States and in \'liestern areas, but dry soils and high temperatures have reduced crop potentials in many South Central and Atlantic Coast areas. Spring work got off to a flOvJ start in 1964 with wet soils hampering activities in Ivlarch and April. Farmers speeded planti nr durin?. favorable i"iay and June weather and crop proress is about normal on July l.
The acreage of crops planted for harvest in 1964 totals 307 million acres-1.7 million less than the 1963 total, but 2 percent more than the record low 302 million acres planted for 1962 harvest. Major increases occurred for wheat and soybeans, but these expansions were more than offset by declines in feed grain acreages. Planting work was delaye d in early spri ,,_g but more favorable l"iay and June weather permitted farmers to seed n.ost of the intended acreage.
Feed grain acrea[es pl~!ted in 1964 are nearly 7 million acres less than last
year with smaller acreages reported for each of t he f our feed gral ns.
The indicated total acreage for har vest in 1964 is above last year in sp:).te of a decline in planted acrea[ e. A snaller acreage loss after planti ng is expected f or 1964, especially ln winter grains which had unusually heavy abandonment in the 1963 season. The current estir.1ate of total acreage for harvest in 1964 is 291+ million acr es. Ti!is is 1.5 million acres more than last year and 2 percent more than the record low in 1962.
CORN: The 1964 production of corn for grain is expected to total 3,888 million
bushels -- a 5 percent decline from the record large 1963 total. A
crop of this size lvould be 6 percent larger than t he 5-year average and the third largest of record. The e~ected acreage of corn f or grain of 58~4 million acres is 4 percent less than last year and 9 percent. less t han average. Current prospects indicate a 1964 yield of 66.6 bushels per acre compared with t he record high of 67. 3 bushels last year and the average of 57. 3 bushels.
ALL tv1n::1-1.T: Production of all Hheat is i orecast at 1, 27 5 million bushels, 12
percent above last year and 2 percent ab ove the 1958-62 avera~ e. The indicated yield per harvested acre at 26.0 bushels is 0.9 bushel above last year and 1.1 but:hels above average. Both vJinter wheat and spring wheat yields are expected to exceed last year, and average.
SOYBEANS: The estimat,ed acreage of soybeans planted-a-lone- f or all purposes in 1964 is 31.7 million acres, 7 percent above the previous record
acreage planted i n 1;63 and 23 percent above average. Growers are expected to harvest 30.9 million acres for beans , up 8 percent. fror.-1 last year and 24 perce nt above average.

. GEORGlA: Production of most spring and
summe r vegetables in Georgia for fresh market is estimated at sli yh tly less than last year, ac.cording to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. The dry, hot weather during most of June dici considerable dama ge to production and caused a very short harvesting season of spring-planted vegeta bl es. Rains were received over most a rea s or ;:he State in late June, and harvestin g from late plantin9s of 1ima beans, cantaloups, and watermelons is expected to continue well into August from central and northern areas. Light harvest of snap beans and cabbage is get ting under way in mountain counties.
UNITED STATES: Summer Vegetables: Supplies of
summer vegetables for which estimates are available are expected to be 2 percent less than last year but 1 percent above acreage. This comparison usuall y account for about two-thirds of tota l summer production.
Cantaloups: Mid-summer expe ct a-
tions are 7.4 mill ion hundredwei gh t--
2 percent. be 1ow 1ast year but 3 percent above average. California harvest sta r ted in early July~
Wa termelons: Total summer volume of 20.1 million hundredweight is 1 percent above last year~ Harvest in most late summer States expected to be active by late July.
LI W-\ BEANS: The first forec a st of 2..!d!!!mer 1ima bean production
is 283,000 hundredweight, 11 percent less than last year and 9 percent below avera ge. In New York, cool tempera- . tures in early June and below normal rainfall have retarded deve l opment of the crop. Dry weather in New Jersey and Maryland reduced prospects in these States. .In Georgia, late June rains were beneficial. Harvest had started on the small acrea ge in southern areas by July 1 and wa s expected to start in central Georgia by mid-July. Alabama yield prospects are below average as a result of dry weather in June.
SNAP BEANS: Summer snap bean production is forecast at
1,177,000 hundredweight, 1 percent below last season and 14 percent below avera ge. Harvest has started and volume movement is expected by midJuly. The New York crop is on schedule with volume movement expected by midJuly. Ohio growing conditions have been good most of the season. Harvestin g in southeastern Ohio be~an June 20
and in northern areas about July 1. Recent rains in Illinois and Michigan have improved crop prospects. Harvest started in late June in these States. The Virginia c rop is in good condition while the North Carol ina crop has been hurt by dry weather. Harvest started in the Hendersonville area the last week in June. The Georgia crop will be ready for harvest about mid-July. Dry we~ 'ther in Tennessee and Alabama has retarded development. The Colorado harvest is about two \-Jeel<s J ate because of coo I weather.
W ATE ~\ME LONS: Produ_c~io_n of early summer watermelons, at
16,054 ,000 hundredweight, is 1 percent
above last year but 5 percent less than
avera ge. In North Carolina, rain the last half of June improved prospects. In South Carol ina, harvest started in the Allendale-Barnwell-Ha~pton area in late June and a good supply was expected by July L:-. Showers in late J~o~ne \~ere beneficial. In the Pageland area, harvest was expected to start around July 10. In southern areas of Georgia, picking passed peak the last of June while the central areas were expected to peak before mid - July . Melon sizes in all areas have been smaller than usual but quality and yields are good. The first significant marketin g from Alabama occurred about June 20--two weeks later than last year. Movement has been light. Harvest in southeast Mississippi was almost complete by July 1 while :in the east .central area harvest was expected to p~ak the first week of July.
Harvest started in early July in south Arkansas and should start about mid-July in central and northern areas. Dry weather during early June in principal wate rmelon areas of northern Louisiana reduced prospects. Harvest will become general in all areas in early July. In Oklahoma, harvest start~d July I in the Terral (Red River) area and yields were good. Most other areas should start harvest after mid-July. In Texas, harvest was near completion by July 1 in the Rio Grande Valley, t.Jinter Garden and Falfurrias-Hebbronville areas. In the Upper Coast and San Antonio areas, harvest was under way during the last half of Ju~e with peak movement by July 1. Harvest will continue into July but with declining volume. In central and east Texas, mid-June rains improved crop prospects.
In Caiifornia, cool weather delayed maturity as much as 3 weeks.

. Ge~~~a: . Crop ~eporting Service. Weather conditions during the spring were favorable
....for::veg~tative growth and fescue made excellent growth. The dry weather during June
was favorable for harvesting operations and the seed crop was saved in good condi-
-~ion in mo~t are~s. The acreage harvested for seed is estimated at 9, 000 compared
with 8,000 last .season. Yield per acre of 210 pounds is 20 pounds above last year
bu~ 8 po~cis below the 5-year 1958-62 average y~eld of 218 pounds:~

"; .. This year s production of tall fescue seed in nine Southern States is foi;-e&ist
\ at 40,218,000 pounds, according to the Crop Reporting Board. This .is a fourth more "~:than the revised 1963 crop of 31,900,000 pounqs, and 45 percent above the 5-year
:. average. ~_
!-.. . . ' !Toduction was above 1963 levels in all nine producing States. In most areas, ample moisture during the spring months promoted excellent vegetative growth. Harvesting conditions were good, with only minor losses from shattering by winds.
A tot13.l of 195,200 acres was harvested, compared with 166,000 acr~.s last year an~ the average of .l35,?00 acres. Acreage saved for seed was up in all States. :.:.:Part of the acreage increase was attributed to land released from conservation reserve contracts. This year's indicated yield is 206 pounds per acre compared with 192 pounds in 1963, and the average of 204 pounds.
Harvest of this year's tall fescue seed was about a day later than last year, but several days earlier than usual. Average beginning dates of harvest were: June 12 in Mississippi, June 13 in Georgia, June 14 in Alabama, June 15 in South Carolina and Oklahoma, June 18 in Kentucky and Tennessee, June 19 in Arkansas, and June 21 in Missouri.
Carryover of old-crop seed by growers in the 9-State area totaled 1,273,000 pounds compared with last year's holding of 330,000 pounds and the average of
1,095,200 pounds. Dealers carryover for the U. s. will be published in the August
6 report.
The forecast of the late harvest tall fescue seed crop in the Pacific Northwest will be included in a report scheduled for release on August 13.

Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended July 11, 1964 was\ 7, 67 5, 000--1 percent less than in the previous .r1eek but 4 percent more than in the comparable week las t year according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 10, 451, 000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries --3 percent more than in t he previous week and 8 percent more than in the comparable we.ek a year earlier.
The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching eggs were reported within a range of 55 ~o 65 cents per dozen. fhe average price of hatching eggs was 59 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $7.00 to $9.00 with an average of $8. 50 per hundred. The average prices last year were 60 cents for eggs and $8.25 for chicks
. The average price repor t ed for broilers during the week ended July 11 was 15.45 cents per pound fob plant compared with 15.25 cents the previous week and 15.08 cents the comparable week last yea1 according to the Federal- State Market News Service.

United States Milk Production
June milk production in t he United States is esti mated at 11,763 mill ion pounds, about 1 pe rcent below both June 1963 and the 5-year avera ge for the month. For the first half of the year, milk output was i percent above the corre spondin g period of 1963. Dai1y ave ra ge p roduction during June was down 2 percent from May compared with a 1 percent decline in 1963. June milk production amounted to 2o04 pounds per person dail y compared with 2.09 pounds a year earlier. Mil k production per cow avera ged 733 pounds durin g June, 2.5 percent more than in June last year and 9 percent a bove the avera ge for the month.
Condition of dai ry pastu i"es was reported at 78 percent of normal on Ju l y I, down 6 points from June 1. July 1 condition was slightly poo rer than a year ea r lier when the ave rage was 79 percent, and . was 8 points below the 1958-62 ave rage for the date. Reg ional i y, the ~-lest was the on l y a rea whe re dairy pasture cond ition improved during June. Rainfall was below normal during June in much of the count ry and above-normal temperatures contributed to the damage to pas t ures in eastern areas.

July 21, 1964
Indications of the size of the Nation's hatchery supply flocks are po$sible with a relatively small degree of error six months in advance by projecting the pul1et .placement by primary breeders based on the relationship in prior years between the pullet placements and the chickens tested under the PIP. In these i~d ications, it is assumed that chickens are tested at six months of age and that
they then are a component of the supply floc}:s for 8 or 10 months thereafter.
~('hese projections could be upset if there were a sizeable hatch of second gener-
ation chicks or if any other chickens not reported by primary breeders go into supply flocks.
A small portion of the Nation's supply flocks are not under the testing program of the PIP, but these probably remain relatively constant and therefore, would not affect comparison. Chickens tested also include cockerels which also should be a constant percentage and thus not affect comparisons; 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 chicks is low,
the average production life of supply flocks is 8 months or less; but when demand for chicks is good, the average is 10 months or more.

An estimated 10, 32.1, 000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries
-- 1 percent less than in the previous week and 9 percent more than in the co_mpa:l~able week a year earlier.
,
The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching
eggs were reported within a range of 55 to 65 cents per dozen. The average price
of hatching eggs was 59 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with
hatchery owned cockerels generall:i was 2 cents below the average price. Most
prices .received for broiler chicks b)r Georgia hatcheries were reported within a
range of $8. 00 to $9. 00 with an average of $8. 50 per hundred. The average prices
last year were 60 cents for eggs and $8. 25 for chicks.
The average price repor ted for broilers during the week ended July 18 was 15.45 cents per pound fob plant compared with 15. 45 cents the previous week and 14. 78 cents the comparable week last year according to the Federal-State Market News Service,

GEORGlA
July 24, 1964
The number of c ickens raised in Georgia in 1964 is expected t9 total . 20, 428, 000, according to the Georgia Crop R~porting 3ervice. This would be
7 percent more than the 19, 09Z, 000 raised in 1963 and 3l percent more than the
19 58-62 average of 15, 566, OCO.
Commercial brc.iler produc.tion is not included in t hese estimates.
UNITE D STATES
The number of chickens raised in the UnHed States (50 Stales) in 1964 is
expected to
total 31. 9, 367, 00.0,
only 1 percent above the .
1963
record low.
Compared with last year, chickens raised in. 1964 are expected to increaE 6 percent in the South Cen t ral reg ~ on, 4 percent in the South Atlantic, 1 percent
in the West and remai.n unc hanged i;n t he East North Central. On t he o t her hand, numbers raised will decrca~e 6 percen t in the Nor th Atlantic and 4 percent in thE
West North Central regions.
The number of chicke!ls to be raised in 1964 generally follows ear~ier intentions. On February 1 egg producers indicated that they intended to purchase 1 percent more replacement chicks and starte d pulle t s in 1964 than in 1963 ~ Eg~ type chicks hatched January through June 1964 totaled 364, 817, 000, up fractionally from the 363, 587,000 hatched during the same period oi 1963.
Prices received by farmers for eggs:in mid-June nationally were above 1963, but in earlier mon ths of 1964 were generally bt:low a year earlier . ~....eed
prices during this period were generally higher which resulted in monthly egg-
feed price ratios being less favorable than the corresponding per\od a year earlier.
Agg_regate egg production January through June was 2 percent above the
same period last year. Cunent egg prices are slightly above a year earlier.
The number of layers__in flocks on July 1, 1964 totaled 286. a million birds, 1 pe1
cent above July l, 1963.
Chickens raised es timates ar~ based on survey reports as of Jun~ 1 obtained largely through the assistan.ce of t he Post Office De partment p.nd rural mail carriers, supplemented by .later information from commercial hatcheries.

Ll GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE
Georgia Calf Crop 2 Percent Higher
fhe 1964 calf crop in Georgia is expected to total 646, 000 head, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This would be a 2 percent increase over the 1963 calf crop of 633, 000 and 6 percent above the 19 58-62. average of 607, 000 head.
This year's larger calf crop is a ttributed to an increased number of cows and heifers. There were 818,000 head of cows and heifers 2 years old and older on Georgia farms January 1, i 964, c ompared with T/2, OCO head the same time in 1963.
UNITED ST.ATES:
Calf Crop 2. Percent Above 1963
The 1964 calf crop for the United Sta tes is expected to total 42, 633, 000 head --a 2 percent increase from the 1963 crop of 41, 811, 000 head. This continues the i~crease shown each year since 1958.
This increase in calf crop is due to a larger number of cows and heifers on
farms. At 49, 852, 000 head, the m;,mber of cows and heifers 2 years old and older on January 1, 1961, was 2 percent above the 48, 649 , 000 head on January 1, 1~63.
The number of calves born and to be born in 1964 expressed as a percent of cows and heifers 2 years old and older January l, 1964, is 86 percent, the same as for 1963. This percentage is not strictly a calving rate because the January 1 iuventory of cows and heifers 2 years old and older does not include all heifers that give birth to calves during the year and includes some cows that die or are slaughtered before calving.
SOUTHERN STATES:
In the South Atlantic Region, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia
expect a larger calf crop with all other States unchanged or down from 1963.
Delaware, Maryland, and Florida led the States showing a decline.
All States in the South Central Region expect the calf crop to be larger than in 1963.. Tennessee, Kentucky, and Oklahoma show the largest increases.

COLONY NUMBERS Hl~HEST SINCE 1948
There were 5,645,000 co!onies of bees on . hand July l in the United States,
according to the Crop Reporting Board.. This i s 2 percent more than the number of
colonies which produced the t ecorcl large 1963 honey crf,p, Colony numbers were up 7 percent in beth the East and \'lest Nortii Central regions, 3 percent . in the North A~tantic, and ' percent in the West. ln the South Atlantic region the total was abolit the same as in 1963 but nUirrbers were dowu 2 percent in the South Central.
The increase in colony numbers resulted from an increase in replacements and .a smaller death loss . Losses during the winter and the spring averaged 15 ~rc.ent of the colonies entering the winter, Throughout New.. t:.ngland. and -most of -East and \~est North Central States bees wintered much better than usual. This. may ha~e been t ,he result of more favorable winter weather and better honey s.tores due to good late fall flows. Some Southern States had higher losses th.is year because .. of more winter ki 11 and starvation.
in Losses as . a percent of colonies enterin!:i the wi'flter were 18 percent the
West, 17 percent in the South. .Central, 16 percent in the West North Central, 14' percent In the South Atlantic, 12 perce.nt in the North Atlantic, . and ~0 percent in .the Ea5t North Centtal o

in July and the Irish potato price was unchanged at $5 . 00 per hundredweight. As
expected,_ most grain prices Kere slight~ lower due to seasonal. declines.
Th'e upward movement of the Index for Livestock and Livestock Products resulted
from price advances for most of its included items. The hog price 'increased from . $15.30 t o $16 .30 p~r hundredweight. Beef cattle increased by 10 ce.:pts per hundred-,.

During the month ended Ju~ 15~ the Index of Prices Received by Farma~s advanced 2 points (1 percent) to 234 percent of its 1910-14 average.

a year earlier .' This is the first month since April 1956 that the Parity Index has
been belovr the ; corresponding date a year earlier. The July decline in the Index
resulte~ from a reduction in the seasonally adjusted index of farm wage rates.

AUGUST 1 COTTON REPORT
Georgia t s 1964 cotton crop is r orecast at 575,000 bales based on informatj,.~:m reported by crop correspondents as of August 1, the Ge-orgia Crop Reporting. Se:rvice said today. This is 30,000 bales below last yearts production of 605,000 bales but 41,000 bales above the 1962 crop.
Indicated lint yield per acre of h42 .pounds is below the record 1963 yield of 453 pounds, but exceeded the yield per e.cre for all other years since estimates were, started in 1866 except 1958.
Unfavorable weather during the early spring months delayed planting operations,
and -the crop is J:.ater than usua-l-. I.n he norther-n .dist:dc.ts ....stands are generally
poor, and plant growth irregular. Heavy rai.ns in late April and early May damaged .
the crop, especially on low lands.
Dry weather during late May and most of June made it possible for growers to do a good job cultivating the crop and controlling insects. Starting in the latter part of June and continuing through July, frequent rains were received. It was impossible for growers to carry out the usual spray program, and infestation of weevils and boll worms increased. The excessive moisture caused heavy vegetative growth in most areas, and airplanes are being used for poisoning operations. Dry weather is badly needed in most areas of the State.
Final outturn of the crop compared with 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.

GENERAL CROP +illPORT AS OF AUGUST 1, 1964
August 13, 1964
Most growing crops in Georg i a made good progress during July, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. A~ple to ~xcessive rainfall which occurred in most localities enabled crops to make rapid vegetative growth and generally improved yield prospects. However, as a result of extremely wet soils, farming activities. in most areas were almost at a standstill.
42-Bushel Corn Yield Expected: The production of corn for grain in 1964 is esti- mated at 67,116,000 bushels, 10 percent below the
record-setting 74,691,000 bushels harvested last year. The expected average yield of 42 bushels compares with the record-high 1963 yield of 43 bushels -but acreage for harvest is 8 percent below a year ago. Tpe early planted corn acreage was seriously hampered by dry weather in June but in most instances bas recovered to some extent. Later plantings were i n excellent condition on August 1.
Cotton Production Down 30,000 Bale ~: Production of cotton is placed at 575,000
bales compared with 605,000 bales harvested
in l963. The indicated yield of lint per acre at 442 pounds is slightly below the record-set~ing 453 pound average last year.
Tobacco Yields Improved: Georgia's flue cured tobacco crop is currently forecast at 127, 000,000 pounds, 11 percent below last year's . crop
of 142,762,000 pounds. An estimated 63,500 acres will be harvested with an expected yield of 2,000 pounds. This compares with 70,500 acres harvested witha record-high average yield of 2,025 pounds in 1963.
Peanut Production Down: A total of 696,000,000 pounds of peanuts is expected to .be
harvested from 480, 000 acres this year. In 1963 produ.ct i on totaled 745,680,000 pounds from 478,000 acres. Yield per acre is placed at 1,450 pounds compared with last year's yield of 1,560 pounds which was the highest of record.
Pecan Crop Down Sharoly: A Georgia pecan crop of 17, 000,000 pounds is in prospect for 1964. This compares with last year's revised total
producti on of 112,000,000 pounds, an all-time high.
Milk Production ~nchanged: Milk production during July at 88 million pounds was unchanged from a year earlier but 6 million pounds more
than the amount produced during June. Pastures duri ng July were in excellent condition and contributed to the large production per cow.
Egg Product i on 2: Egg producti on on Georgia farms during July is estimated at 277
million, 2 mi llion less than produced during June but well above the 248 million produced a year earlier . The number of layers on farms averaged 15,202, 000 compared with 13,947, 000 in July 1963.

pounds, slightly belOl-7 July 1963 and 1 percent below the 1958-62 average for the month. Production .for June has been revised upward to 11,790 million pounds, now 0.4 percent less than in June last year. July milk production amounted to 1.82 pounds per person daily, compared with 1.85 pounds a year earlier. Milk production per cow averaged 675 pounds during July, 2.6 percent above the average rate in July .l963.
Reported condition of dairy pastures for the Ur~ted States averaged 69 percent of normal on August 1. This is 2 points lower than the relatively poor
condition a year ago and the lowest U. Sa average for August 1 since 1954. Pasture condition dropped 9 points during July this year, compared l-Uth the 5~ear

GENERAL CROP REPORT ,~S. QF SEPTEMBER I, 1964
The September I outlook for most major crops in Geor 0ia was generally good despite excessive rains In most areas. of the Sta.te. The rains, however, were benef 1cial to p as~ures and growing crops but made insect and d isease control very
diffiCult. Het soils and frequent slwfiers also hampered harvest of some .crops
. Hur.ricane Dora has brought torrential ratns to some southern counties during the period of September 9-11 and no doubt has reduced crop prospects In .its path. Any damage occurring as a result of this storm would not be reflected In the September 1 yield and production forecast.
.2!:.!2 Yi~ld Expected to~ Record ;
.
-
-Georgia's 1964 corn yield is foreca.st :at.
43,0 bushels per acre, This would be t~e
same as last year's record-setting yield and considerably above average for the
State~ . Prospectlve .production Is placed at 68,714,000 bushels or 8 percent . below 1963 a~ a result of a similar decrease in acreage~
Cotton Production Down 40,000 ~; The 1964 cotton crop Is estimated at 565.000 bales-10,000 bales below the .'\ugust I : fore~
cast and 40,000 bales below total prodtact ion In 19-63. Indicated lint yield per
acre at 434 pounds Is 19 pounds less than last year but 50 pounds more than the 1958-62 average of 384 pounds,
Tobacco Yields Below~ Year Ago: Production of flue c~red tobacco is placed at
123,825,000 pQunds from 63,500 acres .. The lndicat~d yield per acre of .1,950 pounds is 75 pounds below the all time high of 2,025 pounds recorded last year,
Peanut Produ ction Down: A total of 720,000,000 pounds of peanuts Is expected to be harvested from 480,000 acres In Georgia during 1964.
The prospective average yield per acre of 1,500 pounds is 6G pounds below the . record-high 1963 average of I ,560 pounds,

September 14, 1964 PEC:\N REPORt AS OF SEI:iTEMDE~ 1, 1 9 61~
GEOHGI \ : Ind ica tions on Se ptember I pointed to a pecan crop of 16,000,000 !)OUnds - - 1 mill ion pounds below t h' estimate on ~u g ust 1. Production at this
level woul d only be Jl percent of last year ' s record cr.op of 112,000,000 pounds
and 36 percent of the 5-year avera ge [)reduction of 44,100,000 pounds.
UNITED ST.\TES : The 1964 pecan crop is forecast at 122.4 mill ion pounds, only onethird as large as the recorq large 1963 crop and about three-
fourths of average. Production pros pects declined 2 percent during August, with reduceci p ros pects in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, a nd Alabama more than offset i in g a slight increase in Lo~isiana. Heavy rains during August in most States and some wind and rain from hurricane Cleo late in the month in South Carol ina anci Geor g ia contri buted to a heavy ~rop of nuts and largely accounts for the decline in prospects since \u~ ust 1.
I
fn Geory i a , frequent rains contin.ued throu gh August, causing deteriorption of unsprayed n~ts of the scabbing varieties and shedding ha s been much heavier than usual. . .Heavy rains i.n the easte rn th.i.rd of the State on .C\ur us t . 2ti.. .and 29 .from ... hurricane Cleo contributed to the nut drop but win d d~ma s e was not severe. Scabb in g is also a factor in Alabama and shed din g has continued to reduce crop pros pects. In Texas, rains during the last half of :\u:;ust covered most of the eastern ha l f of the State and will boost nut sizing in f avQred areas. Casebearer, scab, anu other dama ge has been heavy in uns pruyed trees. Pros pects continue good in south-central Texa s and fair to good t hrou gh the central and north-central areas of the State .August rains and cool e r \'leather in Oklahoma are expected to improve nut . s izes. ecan weevil ano casebearers have been troub1esome pests resulting in a substa ntial nut drop. Of the major producing States, Oklahoma is the only one with p rospective production larger than in 19G3. Rains during Augu s t were bene f icial to pecan s in Louisiana, greatly imp rovin ~ e;<pected nut sizes, particularly in dry areas. In Mississippi, nuts are filled be~ter than la-st year, largely as a result of increased soil moisture.

COMMERCIAL VEGETABLES FOR FRESH MARKET September 1, 1964
~CID-GIA: Only a light volume of summer produced vegetables remain for harvest,_
Excessive moisture has caused some 'disease and water damage to late
planted lima beans, but light harvesting is expected to continue into early October.
Land preparation and planting of fall vegetables have been active in southern areas
when weather conditions would permit.

(c"rt.)
is
:E!:al F_!ll yeg~b_~.~ Ou.tput for crops estimated to dat.e, at 30.1 million cwt. is about the same as last year. The September 1 estimate -usually accounts for about four-fifths of total fall production.
~~: Production of summer lima beans is . 293,000 hundredweight, 8 percent
below the 1963 c:cop and 5 percent below the 1958-62 average . .Cool,
dry weather in New York reduced supplies in August but harvest should continue through September. In New Jersey, harvest will continue through mid-6eptember.
Picking of the Maryland crop continues active. Harvest in the major producing area of North Carolina has been about completed. Light supplies are expected to be _available from late plantings through mid-september in both Georgia and Alabama.
~BEANS: Production of summer snap beans is estimated at 1,236,000 cwt., up 4 percent from iast'iear but 10 percent below average. In New England,
harvest will continue until frost. Cool, dry weather during August slowed development of snap beans in central New York but rain late in the month improved yield prospects. Supplies should be available through much of September. Harvest of latE plantings in Pennsylvania was well advanced. In Ohio, weather extremes loweted cro1 prospects. Harvesting continued but heaviest picking has been completed. In Illinois, picking had started on late plantings by September 1. In Michigan, hot,
dry weather in early August lowered crop prospects. Supplies are expected to be available until mid -6eptember. Late August rains were b-eneficial to plants in Virginia and North Carolina. Harvest is underway in both Stat~s. In Georgia, . harvest has passed peak and only light supplies were expected to continue into early September. Picking was in fair volume in Tennessee and is expected to end about October 1. Light supplies are expected to be available from scattered areas in
Alabama until frost. Late plantings made good growth. In Colorado) harvest was practically complete.
CUCU!;m_g: ~21z_lli cucumbers are forecast at 703,000 ct-lt., 2 percent above the 1963 crop and 16 percent above the 1958-62 average. In California,
moderate supplies are available from -most producing districts with the major part . coming from Los Angeles, Oxnard, San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay areas. Volume is expected to continue at a steady rate and decline after mid-November. Supplies will be available in Texas from the San Antonio~inter Garden area the last half of September. Harvest has started on the small High Plains acreage. Harvest in
Louisiana and Georgia m.ll be underway about mid~eptember~ In South Carolina and Virginia, the crop is in good condition and harvest is expe cted to begin after midSeptember.

Itt'0RMATION ON 1965 CROFS
CABBAGE: Based on grower's intentions to plant winter cabbage, 40,600 acres are
expected to be harvested during the 1964-65 winter season. This total is 7 percent less than last year ; and 8 percent less than average. Reductions from last year are indicated in Florida, Texas, and California while acreage is expected to be unchanged in Arizona. In Florida, some cabbage was seeded in the Everglades and Zellwood areas in lataAugust. Planting of seed beds in the Hastings area is active and land is being prepared for late September transplanting. Plants in seed beds in the Sanford area were in good condition. Most of the decrease in Texas is expected in the Rio Grande Valley. Seeding in that area has been most~ limited to sections where irrigation water from wells .was available. : Planting normally continues into December. In other south Texas areas, heavy rains in August washed out some early seeded acreage but this is being replanted. Moisture .is adequate for planting in these areas. In Arizona, planting began in early
August in the Salt -River Valley and in late August in Yuma area. Some seeded acre age was damaged by heavy rains and hail on August 26. In California, cabbage planting was well underway in Imperial and Ventura Counties and in other scattered districts by September 1. Weather conditions have been satisfactory.

HAR1RST HAJO R CROPS FULL S'tJING
Athens, Ga., Sept. 28 -- Harvest of cotton, corn, and peanuts made good
progress as Georgia farmers took advantage of ideal harvest weather. According
to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service, haying was also very active, but land
preparation and fall planting were delqyed in some areas by a lack of soil
moiature.
Cotton harvest adva.11ced very rapidly and at the c:lose of the week was more
than 40 percent completed. Picking in a few southern counties, where m.axirrnun us~
of mechanical pickers has been made, was nearing the final stages. In North
Ge0rgia, harvest was generally less than 25 percent co~)leted.
Peanut digging and threshing was nearing completion in most commercial counties. Corn harvest showed good progress during the week~ With the use of
mechanical harVesters, about 5 percent of the State's acreage was picked, bringing the se.ason' s total to a~TTIOst 15 percent completed, Statewide. According to
County Agricultural Agents' reports, prospective yields are very good.
Harvest of soybeans had barely begun. Condition of the crop is good, and
better than average yields are expected. Pastures were holding up very good tor
this season of the year.
Fall plowing moved ahead in most southern counties, but in other areas, particular~ in Northwest Georgia, soils were too dry. Slightly less than 20 percent of the intended small grain acreage had been seeded.
Final c;uttings of hay were made in most areas during the \-Teek.
WEATHER SUMMruRY -- Georgia enjoyed almost maximum sunshine during the past week, as there was little cloudiness and practically no rain reported in the State. Very little rain has fallen in the State since that associated with Hurricane Dora a little more than two weeks .ago and many areas Here becoming quite dry by the end of the period. Parts of the northwest and extreme north a~e extremely dry
with no appreciable rain in about five weeks. Several weather observers in these areas have measured less than an inch of rain during the last five weeks.
Temperatures were mild to warm most of the week, but a cold front dropped early morning readings to unusually low levels on Friday and Saturday mornings. The coolest weather of the fall included temperaturesin the thirties in the mountains and in the forties and fifties in other areas. Several places reported a drop of more than forty degrees from their high on Thursday to their low on Friday morning. Averages for the week were just about normal over the entire State.

October
5 --Harvesting
operations
continued
as
the
major
farm-
ing activity throughout Georgia as long as weather remained favorable. According
to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service, the harvest of cotton and corn made good
orogress eilrly in the week before rains began to slow operations.
Cotton harvest advanced rapidly during the first ' part of the week. Approximately 50 percent of the crop has been harvested. In South Georgia, aboiJt 75 percent of the crop has been picked cornp<Hed to around 15 percent in North Georgia. A larger percentage of the crop is being harvested by mechanical pickers than' usua 1.
Corn harvest is gaeneng momentum in southern areas where about one-fourth ,of the crop has been picked. Statewide, about 20 percent of the corn crop has been harvested .Virtually aJJ of the peanut crop is dug and threshing is about 90 percent completed.
Soybean harvest is still in the early stages. County - /',gents reported that the crop is in good conditi~n and prospects for good yields continue.
Peca'l prospects continue poor in most. sections. Some damage resulted from
winds and excessive ralns.
.
.
Soil moisture condi'tlons have improved somewhat and land 2reparatioh and fall
seeding continued active. About 25 percent'of the small grains has been planted
. ' Cattle ar~ repbrted to be in good condition . with t~e status of pastur~s . \
ranging from fair to good.
~.JE/\TtiER SUMMARY-- Heavy to excessive rains fell over north Georgia during the week ending Friday, October 2, and over most of the State during the weekend. Heaviest amounts were r_ecorded i.n the extreme north and northeast. The observer at Clayton reported about eight inches Saturday night and Sunday and has measured
near 1y t 4 i nche!:i du r i n.g the past week. The extreme Iy heavy rains and ove rf Iowing
streams have caused extensive damag~ in the mountain counti.es. Many bridges and culverts have been washed out and a number of ~oads have been closed by high water and washouts. Much . bottom farm land has also been flooded. Several weather observers in the northern half of Georgia recorded 24-hour totals of more than
\
four inches during the weekend. .L\mounts were generally smaller in south Georgia
but rain was continuing Monday, October 5, as the remains of hurricane Hilda moved
east northeastward through that area.
Temperatures were unusually warm during most of the week as sever.al southern stat ions reported highs of 90 degrees or above on one or more days-. A cold front moved into north Georgia Sunday night, dropping temperatures to the low fifties by Monday morning. Averages for the week were three to eight degrees above normal.

GE9aGIA COTTON ~PORT" AS OF OCTOBER 1," 1964 .
. Cotton -prospects for Georgia as of O~tober. 1 were tor a production of 615,.000 bales (500 pounds gross weight) according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. The estimate is 50,000 bales above the indicated production a month earlier and 10,000 bales above the 1963 crop.;
Indicated ."yie.ld of lint per acre of 472 .pounds is a record high for the State. The pr~vious high was 453 pounds in 1963. The current estimated yield is 88 pounds
.above the .-1958-62 average of 384 pounds.
~urricane . Dora moved into South Georgia on September -9 and 10. The storm brought high winds and heavy rains over the southern third of . th~ State. The wind ca~~ed _ some damage to the cotton crop especially to fields with large vegetative growth~ Weather the last two weelts of September was very favorabl~ for harvesti-ng
operations and good progress was made by growers. Harvest got off to ~ much later
start this season~han forth~ past two years. On October 1 about 50 percent of th~ State's crop had been harvested. .In th,e southern districts harvest was about .
65 percent complete. Yields are turning out better than expected earlier in the
season. Mechanical pickers -are ~eing used to harvest a higher percentage of the
crop than usual.
The Bureau Qf Census reports a95,000 running bale~ ginned prior to October 1
compared to 436,000 to same d~te in 19.63 and 382,000 in 1962.

INFORMATION ON 1965 CROPS OCTOBER 1, 1964
ONIONS: Texas onion growers intend to plant 23,500 acres of ear1y spring on~<?~~c .,_ J,, _. f .or harvest during 1965, compared with 24, 600 acre's harvested in the 1964
season. Most of the decrease is expected in the Winter Garden acreage, with a slight decrease in the Rio Grande Valley. No significant change is expected in acreage around Laredo and in the Coastal Bend. By October 1, seeding was underway in most areas. Late September rains caused some damge to plant beds in the Winter Garden and around Laredo. Plant beds not damaged are making good progress.
Rains have improved soil moisture and filled the Falcon reservoir.
STRAWBERRIES: Strawberry acreage for all seasonal groups combined is expected to total 85,o40 acres for harvest in 1965. An acreage of this
size would be 2 percent less than the 1964 crop and 2 percent below the 1963 crop.
Winter strawberry acreage in Florida is placed at 3,100 acrea--500 &cres more than last year. In late September, transplanting of stra-wberries began in the Starke and Plant City areas t;md. on the Lower East Coast. Plant supply is adequate. However, land preparation in the Plant City area was delayed due to frequent rainfall
through most of September.

GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF OCTOBER l; 1964
OCT 14'
The October 1 outlook for most major crops in Ge orgia was gener ,..w-..-.:a~~--
despite excessive rains in most areas of the State. The rains, however, were
benefici al to pastures and growing crops. 1tle.t soils and frequent showl:,'lrs also
hampered harvest of some crops and slowed land preparation and planting of -grain:
and pastu.i:'es.
Hurricane Dora brought torrential rlains to some southern counties during the period -of September 9..11 and Hurricane Hilda brought heavy rains to central and North Georgia at the end of the month. Some crop damage resulted from these storms, but qverall, crop ~~sses were not extensive.
2~li '!!b~ EXPECTED !Q ~RECORD : Georgin's 1964 corn yield is forecast at
43.0 bushels per acre. This would be t4e same as last year's record--sE)tting yield and considerably' above average for the "
State. ' Prospective _production 'is placed at 68,714,000 bushels or 8 percent below
1963 as a result of a similar decrease in acreage .
COTTON YIELD TO BE RECORD HIGH: The 1964 cotto.n .crop is e stirri~ted at 615,000
----- -- -~
---- baies--50,000 bales above the September 1 fore-
cast ~nd 10~000 bales above total production in 1963. Indic ated lint yield per
acre o{ 472 _po.unds would. be the highest of record and 19 pounds more than last
year. The 1958-6'2 ~verage ' yield for the .S:t~te is 384. pounds.
- - - - TOBACCO YIELDS BELCW A T.c:A.R AGO: Production of flue cured tobacco is placed at
__...__. _._._
122,555,000 pounds from 63,500 acres. The in-
dicated yield per acre of 1, 930 pounds is 95 pounds below the all :t.ime high of
2,025 P?unds recorded last year . ...

~ ~l gE CO~:
A tot~l of 768,000,000 pounds of peanuts is
expected to be harvestad from 480,000 acres in
Georgia during 1964. The prospective average yield per acre of 1,600 pounds is
40 pounds above the previous record-high of 1,560 pounds in 1963.

HARVEST RESUMES AFTER RAINS
Athens, Ga., Octobe__r_12 --Harvesting activities returned to full swing
throughout the State after being delayed by rain and wet soils early in the week.
According to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service, the harvest of cotton. and corn
regained momentum and made good progress during the latter part of the week.
Co~ picking is now about 60 percent completed statewide. In South Georgia, about 80 percent of the crop has been harvested and about 25 percent of the North Georgia crop has been picked. There are continued reports of increases in mechanical harvesting. Some areas report that rains have damaged fiber quality.
Georgia County Agents reported that corn prospects remain good. About onefourth of the State's crop has already been harvested, and this activity is continuing to move ahead rapidly.
About 5 percent of the Georgia soybean crop has been harvested. Condition of the crop continues good.
Pasture condition is much improved after recent rains. Cattle are also reported to be in good condition.
Soil moisture is reported ample in most areas. Land preparation and fall seeding continued to be an important activity with about one-third of the small qrains a 1ready p1anted. Pecan prospects continue to dec I i ne.
WEATHER SUMMARY - - Georgia experienced unusually cool weather for early October during the past week. Early morning lows were in the thirties and low forties in the north and in the forties over most of . the south during the entire week. The first freezing temperatures of the fall season were reported in the mountains and several weather observers throughout the State recorded new record low temperatures for so early in the fall season. Daily maximum temperatures were mostly in the sixties in n~rth Georgia and in the sixties and seventies in the south. .'\verages were 10 to 13 degrees below normal and 18 to 20 degrees lower than for the previous week.
There was no rain in 'the State after Monday, October 5, when the effects of hurricane Hilda were no longer .felt in the area. The heavy to excessive rains of the previous weekend caused extensive damage to both public and private property in extreme north Georgia. In Rabun County, damage to public roads and bridges was estimated at more than $100,000. The entire State has enjoyed almost maximum sunshine since the rains ended last Monday.
.
Rainfal I totals were below normal over most of Georgia during September.
Only in the south central and west central climatological Divisions were averages
greater than the long period normals for September. Hurricane Dora brought heavy
rainfall to much of south Georgia but, in many cases, this was the only rain that
fell during the entire month. Totals for the year continue well above normal in
all areas. September temperatures averaged below normal over most of the State,
continuing the trend that has persisted throughout the year.

Stocks of honey on hand for sale by producers on September 15 totaled 106,762,000 compared with 104,443,000 pounds a year earlier. This year's stocks on hand were 36 percent of production compared with 35 percent last year. Movement of honey has been somewhat slower this year, resulting in higher producer stocks.

in the comparable week last year according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 9, 345, 000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries--
4 percent more than in the previous week and 8 percent more than in the comparable week a year earlier.
The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching
eggs were reported within a range of 60 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price ofhatching eggs was 64 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with
hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price : Most
pr_ices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a
.. range of $8. 50 to $10.50 with an average oi $9.75 per hundred. The average prices last year were 66 c e nts for eggs and $10.00 for chicks.
The average price reported for broilers during the week ended October 10 was 13.95 cents per pound fob plant compared with 14. 25 cents the previous week

CROP Hi\RVEST DELAYE:D
Athens~;- Ga-;--;- ~october 4 9 - Harvestrngact"I 'Vitles -were disrup-tect about the middle of the week in most areas of the State by rains and wet soils; according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. By the end of the week there was a surplus of soil moisture in almost every county according to reports by Georgia County Agents.
Cotton picking is now about 68 percent completed statewi de. Harvest was being delayed by a shortage of labor as well as the unfavorable weather conditions. Quality of the crop was. dama ged by heavy rain and lack of sunshine, particularly in the northern part of the State where harvest fs about one-third complete.
Corn prospects remain good but there is some storm damage with lodging of stalks and sprouting of grain. About 38 percent of the State's corn has been harvested--ranging from over half completed in some south Georgia counties to just beginning in the northernmost part of the State.
Pasture condition is exceptionally good for the time of year. Fall-planted winter grazing has made excellent growth and is of grazing height in many areas.
Saving late hays continued as weather permitted. Sweetpotato harvest remained active and good yields are reported.
Planting of~~ grains is now about 42 percent complete and was making good progress until halted by the rains in the middle of the week. The soil will be in excellent condition with a few days of sunshine
WE.I\THER SUMMARY -- Excessive rainfall was recorded in the southeast and heavy to modera'te amounts fei I In 1rrl0st other areas durtng the past week. Host of the rain fell on Wednesday and Thursday and was associated with hurricane Isbell as it moved northeastward off the coast after crossing south Florida. Several south Georgia weather observers recorded over three Inches of rain and more ,than five Inches fell over the lower coastal area. Brunswick and St. Simons Island had more th.an four Inches during one 24-hour period. The weather was sunny early in the week and again during the weekend.
Temperature averages ranged from two to five degrees below normal for the week. Mild days and cool nights prevailed most of the week but there was a definite warming trend during the weekend. Temperatures reached the eighties over most of the State on Sunday, making this the wannest ~ay In two weeks. Sub-freezing temperatures were recorded early in the week at the northern mountain stations.

Crops was 270--three points lower than last month. The Index for livestock anq
Li~estock Products fell 5 points during this period to 195.
'
Lower prices for the major crops, cotton and corn, account for the decline
in the All Crops Index. The price per pound for cotton declined from 30.5 to
29.0 cents. The corn price was 4 cents per bushel lower at $1.21. Peanut, rye,
arid grain _sorghum prJ ces remaj ned ~uncha~d from tl'l~ r- September levels~ . Wheat
price increased from $1.43 to $1.46 per bushel while oats were u p 2 cents to8~ . .
cents per bushel. The soybean price rose by 10 cents ,per bushel to $2.55. Barley
. increased 3 cents per bushel to $1.01 and sweetpotatoes were 20 cents per hundred-
.weight higher at $6~20.
'
Prices for beef cattle, calves, hogs, and chickens were all lower than last month. The all beef ca.ttle pric;;e declined from $14.20 to $13.30 per hundredweight whiLe calves were 90 cents per hundredweight lower at $16.50. Hog price dropped SO cents to $15.80 per hundredweight. The price for all chickens was ._6 cent per .pound lower at 13.8 cents. Egg and turkey prices were unchanged from last .month at 42.3 cents per dozen and 21 cents per pound respectively. The price for all milk increased from $6.00 to $6.15 per hundredweight.
PRICES RECEIVED INDEX UNCHANGED PARITY INDEX DOWN 1 POINT, PARITY RATIO 76
The Index of Prices Received by Farmers remained unchanged during the month ended October 15 at 236 percent of Its 1910-14 average. The most important price changes were lower prices for cattle and hogs~ which were offset by price increases , for wholesale milk and oranges.
The Index of Prices Paid, Including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates, declined 1/3 of 1 percent Quring the month ended October 15. This reflected a less than usual upturn in . farm wage rates during the fall harvesting season. Prices paid in October averaged the same as in mid-September, with increases in rural consumer prices offsetting a small decline in average prices of production goods.
With the Parity Index off slightly in October, and the index of prices received for farm products unchanged, the Parity Ratio rose to 76. This was percent higher than a month earlier.

GEORGIA COTTON REroRT AS ~F NOVE1'iBER 1, 1964.
A Georgia cotton crop of 620,000 bales (500 pounds gross weight) was indicated oh November 1 based on information furnished by cotton growers and ginners. The estimate is 5,000 bales above last month and 15,000 bales above the 1963 production of 605,000 bales.
Indicated lint yield per acre of 476 pounds is a record high for the State, exceeding the 1963 yield of 453 'pounds by 23 pounds, Relatively high yields are being harvested in all areas. ~
Production in the northern districts is expected to be about 16 percent above last year. The central area ldll harvest 12 percent more than in 1963,while the crop in the southern districts will be about 9 percent below last season.
The last three weeks of October were ideal for harvesting cotton, Generally, sunny skies prevailed throughout most of the period. Harvest was much later than normal, but good weather and the use of mechanical harvesters contributed to considerable 11 catching up" with the normal harvesting schedule. Very good yields are being picked, but earlier rains damaged quality in several areas. Harvest by November 1 was about 95 percent complete in the southern counties, from 70 to 75 percent complete in the central area, and about 50 percent in the northern third of the State.
Bureau of Census ginnings to November 1 -vrere 507,000 running bales compared with 572,000 to the same date last year and 507,000 in 1962,

PECAN REPORT AS OF. NOVqlBER 1, 1964
GEORGIA: The. 1964 production of pecans . in Georgia is expected to -be ------- 12,000,000 pounds, based on prospects as of November 1~ According to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service, this estimate, unchanged from .a . month ago, compares with the record high 1963 production of 112,000,000 pounds.
Production of improved varieties is forecast at 9,000,000 pounds compared with 95.,000,000 a year ago. Seedling production is placed at 3,000,000 pounds compared With 17;ooo,ooo in 1963.
UNIT17D STAT"HS: . The November 1 estimate of' the pecan crop is 122.5 million pounds, up 1.5 million pounds from last month. This is about
one-third the size of last year's record crop and 26 percent belo1-r average. C'nly Oklahoma and Ne.v1 Nexico expect larger crops than last year.
Harvest is under way in most States but will not become general until after .roid-:~!_ovember. The crop is light because of poor pollinating weathe r and a
wet growing season lvhiclr limited the spray program. There was more disease
and insect damage than usual.
The
i I
U. S.
.
.
pro ducti.on
of
improved
pecans
is
expected
to
total
46.3
million
pounds, less than one-fourth the production of last year and slightly more than
half an average crop. Seedling production is estimated at 76.2 million pounds,
about half of last ;y-ear's production, but only slightly below average.

The 1965 early spring cabbage acreage planted and intended to be planted for
harvest is expected to be slightly above one year ago. \~eather conditions have
been favorable for land preparation and plant growth. /\good supply of plants is reported and transp.lanting began .in lat~ November.
The final summary for the 1964 crops will be maiied ~o you the last of December.
UNITED STATES
Winter Vegetables: Production of w~rter vegetable crops included in the Oecember I estimat~ which usually accounts for more 'han
half the total winter production, is expected to be 2 percent above last year.
Ca bbage: Acreage of winter cabbage for harvest is placed at 42,200 acre.s,
slightly smaller than las,t year. Host producing areas of Florida have started harvest but volume for the State will be light until January, The .... crop is developing well but early adverse weat"her caused some . poor stands in early plantings. More recent plantings are in better condrtion. In Texas, increased plantings in the Rio Grande Valley, the major producing area, more than offset reductions in San Antonio and the ~inter . Garden. Harvest is underway with he~vy
volume expected in January, February, and March from the Valley. The Arizona crop is in good condition. and harvest has started. In California, moderate supplies are now available from coastal counties from :'\lameda County to San Diego. Harvest of desert acreage will start shortly and increase steadily through December.
The early spring group of States are expected to harvest 11,450 acres of cabbage, 2 percent less than last year. Transplanting in Georgia will continue until late December. Host of the Mississippi crop will be planted between midJanuary and mid-February. Some plantings occurred in southern Louisiana but heaviest planting is expected in late December. In Cal 1fornia, planting occurs from November through February,

The value of Georgia's 1964 commercial fresh market and processing vegetable crops amounted to ~18,149,000 " 19 percent above the 1963 value of ~ 15,262,000.
Total production of fresh market and melon crops was 5,629 hundredweight compared
~~th 5,584 hundredweight in 196). Yield per acre of most crops compared favorably
~~ith the previous year. Record yields of onions were produced in 1964. Heavy
rains during early spring were a major contributing factor to a 4 percent reduction in total acreage harvested from last year. (Not all of the co~mercial vegetable crops grown in Georgia are included in this .summary).

UNr.rED STATES: Production of the 27 principal fresh market vegetables and melons in 1964 was 3 percent less than last year and slightly above
average. Production was 213.9 million hundredweight compared with 221.2 million .hundredweight last year and the 5-year average production of 213;4 million hundredweight. Major vegetables and melons contributing most to the decrease
from last year were cantaloups, carrots, celery, sweet corn, lettuce, and watermelons. Record high tonnages of artichokes, cucumbers, and garlic were produced in 1964 and an increase over 1963 was also registered for tomatoes. Lowest production of record was recorded for asparagus, snap beans, and beets. Value of the principal vegetable and melon crops totaled 965.4 million dollars, 5 percent above last year. Tomatoes, at 177 million dollars, and lettuce, at 170 million, accounted for 36 percent of the U. S. total, about the same percentage as last year. These data are based upon information secured by State Agricultural Statisticians from grovrers, shippers, processors, public agencies, and other sources.

GEORGIA ANNUAL CROP REPORT--1964
-~At~ _OF 1~64 _ GEORGIA CROPS DOWN 26 MILLION DOLLARS
Valu~ of the p:rincipal crops produced in Georgta>during 1964 is estimated at
$432;620, 000 compared with $458,826,000 in 1963. The decrease is due largely to
decreases i n the production of pecans, peaches, tobacco, : corn, and a reduction in
the price of cotton.
The . ~964 average cotton yield per acre of 470 pounds of lint is an all-time high f or the State. Peanut yield per acre of 1,680 pounds is also a record, exceeding the 1963 yield by 120 pounds. Other crops with record-high yields were wheat, sugar _cane ~or sirup, soybeans for peans, and lespedeza for seed. The 42 bushel corn y i eld has been exceeded only by the 43 bushels last year.
Pean~t production in 1964 of 8o6,4oo,ooo pounds is the largest crop since
1948 when .818, 300, 000 pounds were harvested. The 1964 production was harvested
. from 480,000 acres compared with 1,169, 000 ac~es in 1948.
The 1964 pecan production of 12,000, 000 pounds is only 11 percent of the _ record 1963 crop of 112,000,000 pounds. Georgia's peach crop was damaged by the March freeze and final production was reduced to one-third of last year's production.

The Nation's. pig crop during June-November 1964 is estimated at 40,456,000 head --down B percent from the: 1963 crop. Each region reporte<ji a decline from a year earlier. The greatest decline, 12 percent, was in the South Central region.
The 5;607,000 sows farrowed during Jun&-Movember 1964 is 8 percent less than .a year earlier, These farrowing; compare \'litfl the 7 percent decline indicated by the June report on breeders' intentions.
Annual Q. :_i. f..l.9. Crop ~ 1 Percent
The total pig crop fqr the Decemb~r 1963-November 1964 period in the u. S. was 88,367,000 head, 7 percent under the preceding annual total.
December 1964-May J..ill Intentions in!! 1 ~ 1 Percent
U.s. swi.ne producers reported intentions to farrow 6,163,000 sows du-ring the December 1964-May 1965 period, 7 percent less than a year earl ter. If thes~ inten~ tions are realized and the number of pigs saved per 1itter equals those of re.cent years, the 1-965 spring pig crop should ap!Jroximate ~-.s mill ion head, 7 p'erce'nt smaller than the 1964 December-May pig crop,

LESPEDEZA SEED PRODUCTION IN GEORGIA UP 46 PERC
The 1564 Georgia lespedeza seed production is forecast at 5,040,000 pounds, according to the Georg ia Crop Reporting Service. This is 46 percent above the 3.450,000 pounds harvested in 1963~ The yield per ~ere of 240 pounds is 10 pounds above last year's yield and exc~eds the 5- yar {1958-62) average yield by 42 pounds. The ' 21,000 acres harvested for seed th is season is 6,000 above the 15,000 acres harvested in 1963 ancl is the largest acreage harvested since 1956.
':leather conditions during the grow'ng season. were favorable an!=~ the crop made
excellent growth in most areas. Dry weather during the harvesting season was favorable and yields were generally good.
S~ricea production of 3,377,000 pounds is 67 percent of the total crop followed by Kobe with 1,260,000 pounds and 25 percent; and Kore.:m with 403,000 pounds and 8 percent.
UNITED STt\TES LESPEDEZA SEED PRODUCTION
of The preliminary estimate lespedeza seed production in 1964 is 55,050,000
pounds. :.'This is 6 percent less than last year's (revised) total of 58 ,370,000
pounds, 4?. percent below average, and . the smallest crop since 1936 .
:\l.thoagh only four of the fifteen States harvested fewer acres than in 1963, the net' e"ffect was to reduce tota 1 acrea ge to the 1ov1es t Ieve I s inee I933. Good moisture cond i tions existed only in South Carol ina and Geor g ia. In most of the remaining . States, dry weather reduced seed yields and caused diversion of acreage to forage ~~es. Frosts in early October reduced yields and increased shattering in Indiana, Illino is, Missouri, Kentucky, and to a I imited extent, in Arkansas.
Korean lespedeza accounted for 52 percent of 1964 production compared with 6J percent in 1963. Striate Kobe was 35 percent of total ~ reduction in 1964, against 29 percent in 1963. Comparative product ion of each spec ies, with estimates for last year in parentheses are: Korean, 2U,500,000 pounds (36, 842,000); Striate Kobe, 19,1 &8,000 (17,037,000); Striate Common and Tennessee 76,371,000 (284,000); and Ser ;cea, 6,991,000 pounds (4,207,000).
The largest producing State in 1964 was Missouri with 10.2 mill ion pounds.
Second ranking State was Tennessee with 7.4 mill ion pounds, followed by Kentucky
and Arkansas.
.
Carryover of lespedeza seed as of June 30, 1964 from 1963 and prev ious year's
crops is estimated at 5,1 97,000 pounds (1,900,000 held by growers and 3,297,000 by
dealers). Hold ings a year earl ier were 7,'11~3.000 pounds (2, 4]2,000 by growers and
5,271,000 by dealers).
Init ial supply of lespedeza seed (1 964 production plus June 30, 1964 carryover) is ind icated at 60,247,000 pounds, 9 percent less than the beginning supply a year earlier.
