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.

(OVER) 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. ~ D 9o07 1 v;~:~ LJ '/ 2 SJ 0 CK -~------r#. *IF"~.:'~~~--., r .JAimARY 1_,_1_96_4__ _ __ .c:. r J '<(.\/ J1 I ".~ ~\_1 - J I rJ\./r~.J\.I..-.: . . .1I: . .: ... . . : . .. :__. :_.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. . ' ' ARCHIE LANGLEY Agricultural Statistician in Charge W. A.

Nay 12, 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.

AR.CHIE LANGLEY Agricultural Statistician In Charge C. L. CRENSHAiv Agricultural Statistician (Please turn page for United States Information) UNITED STATES - GENER..I\1 CROP REP.Q!IT_!_Qf HAY 1, 196)J 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. ' a.,f(- D9CJO 7 t1/ GJE0 ~GllA CIf0 JP.> ~ I ;l.fGRICULTURAL.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Please Turn Page 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.

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.

(OVER) 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. (Ia._ HJJ90cJJ %6 3 GIEO~GllA CC~OJF U#P'o! ' A G RICULTURAL EXTENSION S E RV ICE:.

The 13 Western sheep States (11 Western, So11th D!llot a, a:1d Texas) produced 6 percent. fewer lambs than in 1963. In the 35 Native sheep States (excluding the 13 Western Stat es and Alaska) the lamb crop -was 7 percent b e low the 1963 crop. Breeding ewes one year old and older on farms and ranches January 1, 1964, were 4 .pereent below a year earlier, while the number of ere lambs under 1 year were dowzt 5 percent from January 1, 1963. The lamb crop percentage (number ,f .lambs saved per 100 ewes 1 year old or older on January 1) at 92 percent, rras 2 poi nts below 1963.

I i RELEASED 7/24/64 By 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 The cond i'thm of .col-onies on - July 1-- was 87 , ~-.c:ompared with 85 last year.;- Con ditions averaged better than last year in .all but the Weste~ region.

August 10, 1964 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. C. L.

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.

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.

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. lSSUED BY: The Georgia Crop Reporting Service, Athens, Georgia; in cooperation with the Cooperative Extension Service, University of Georgia; Georgi a Department of Ag r i cu 1tu re; and the ~leather Bureau of the U. s.

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. I (Please turn page) ,; U. s. PECAN PRODUCTI0Fr AGRI-CULTURE: .

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.

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.

December 21, 1964 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. Rank - -Cro12 l. .Cotton & Seed 2. Peanuts 3- Corn 4.
