Lespedeza seed production in the Nation is estimated at 48,270,000 pounds, 29 percent ~low both l~st year and average. The decrease from 1965 resulted from a 25 percent dec! ine in acres harvested and a 5 percent dec! ine in yield. 
 
All of the 15 producing States harvested the same or less acreage than in 1965, and all but 2 States harvested less acreage than average. Yields were down from 1965 in 10 of the 15 States. The lower yields were because of the hot and dry conditions during 1966. Weather conditions during harvest were good in most States. 
 
Korean lespedeza accounted for 57 percent of 1966 production compared with 63 percent 
 
in 1965. Striate Kobe was 35 percent of total production in 1966, against 30 percent in 
 
1965. Comparative production of each species, with estimates for last year in parenthesis 
 
are: Korean, 27,555,000 pounds (42,562,000); Striate Kobe, 16,69b,OOO (20,456,000);. Striate

 UNITED STATES MILK PRODUCTION 
Production of milk in the United States during December is estimated at 9,552 mill ion pounds. This is about the same as December 1965 and is the third successive month in which production has been close to year earlier levels. A number of States in the West North Central and Western Regions reported increases from a year earlier. Production in most States in the North Atlant ic and East North Central Regions were lower. Mixed changes were shown in other regions. Average daily production increased about I percent from Novem ber to December. Milk production per capita during December was 1.56 pounds compared with 1.58 pounds in December 1965. 
Preliminary estimates of monthly milk production for the year 1966 totaled 121,461 mill ion pounds. This is 3 percent less than the 1965 total and the 1960-64 average. Compared with 1965, production was lower for all months of the year except November. The larger decreases occurred in the earlier months of the year. 
Monthly estimates for 1966 are preliminary and will be reviewed in late January. Revised estimates of the numbe r of milk cows, production per cow and total production months for 1965 and 1966 wil I be published by States in the February 13 issue of this

GEORGIA TURKEY GROWERS INTEND TO RAISE 2 0 PERCENT MORE TURKEYS IN 1967 
Georgia: Turkey growers in Georgia expect to produce 2, 048,000 head in 1967 compared with 1, 7 09, 000 in 1966 or an increase of 2 0 percent. Growers are expected to 
uce 1,928, 000 heavy breeds and 12 0, 000 light breeds compared with 1, 629,000 and 80, 000 spectively last year . The majority of heavy breeds in 1967 will be heavy whites. 
 
UNITED STATES GROWERS I NTEND TO RAISE MORE TURKEYS IN 1967 
United States: Turkey growers intend to raise 8 percent more turkeys in 1967 than last year according to the Crop Reporting Board. Present plans of growers are 
increase heavy breeds 8 percent and light breeds 9 percent . Assuming growers carry out ir intentions, the 1967 turkey crop for the Nation would be about 125.2 million, a new record, pared with the revised estimate of 115.7 million turkeys raised in 1966. Increased productnis planned in all regions except the North Atlantic. Increases are : South Central 15 percent, th Atlantic 12 percent, West 10 percent, West North Central 5 percent, and East North ntral 3 percent. In the North Atlantic region production i~ expected to be down 5 percent. 
 
Growers plan to produce 107.7 million heavy breed turkeys in 1967, an increase of 8 rcent from last year. Present plans indicate that heavy breed turkeys will account for 86 
nt of the total turkeys raised in 1967, the same as in 1966. The total heavy breeds ude both heavy white and other heavy or bronze birds. 
 
Producers intend to raise 17.5 million light breed turkeys in 1967, up 9 percent from last 
ar. The number of lights to be raised in 1967 is up in all regions except the East North 
ntral which is down 10 percent and the North Atlantic which is the same as raised in 1966. ases are 16 percent in the West, 12 percent in the South Atlantic, 10 percent in the West Central, and 6 percent in the South Central. 
 
The number of turkeys actually raised in 1967 may vary somewhat from the January 1, 1967 ntions of growers. Such changes depend on growers reactions to this report, price of , supply and prices of hatching eggs and poults, and prices received for turkeys during next few months  
 
Testings of all heavy breeds July through December were up 12 percent from the spending period in 1965. The July-December testings of light breeds were up 5 percent the same months last year. Testings of breeders indicate that hatching egg supplies be more than adequate to permit growers to increase output this year.

THE POULTRY A ND E GG SITUATICN 
 
Approved by the Outlook and Situation Board, February 10, 1967 SITUATION AND OUTLOOK (BROIL Z RS ) 
 
Broiler p roducers did not make the usual seas onal cut in fourth quarter broiler marketFede rally inspected broiler slaughter during the period ran 12 percent above a 
earlier, while third quarter output rose only 8 percent. Since the turn of the year the upin slaughter has been slackening. Slaughter during the first 6 weeks of 1967 totaled 16 
above a ye ar earlier, Recent broiler chick placement and egg settings in 22 important indicate that expa nsion in broiler production will be cut back sharply over the next 3 , Chick placements in those States in the 9 weeks through F ebruary 4 ran 2 percent a year earlier. Egg settings in the 3 weeks ended February 4 were up 3 percent, Thus, production during the next few months is likely to total only slightly above the 1966 
 
Also, the broiler industry clearly has begun to take steps to moderate growth in its propotential in recent weeks. Pullet chicks placed for broiler hatchery supply flocks were from 32 p ercent above a ye ar earlier in August-Octo be l' t o 8 percent above in NovemDecembe r placements were back down to the 1965 level. This will affect the supply of 
eggs in the second half of 19 6 7. In addition, broiler firms have stepped up the of breeder flocks in recent months. This has been reflected in the increased 
r of hens and cocks of broiler breeds and in sharply falling prices for these heavychickens. In the 5 weeks ended February 1, 2. 7 million broiler breeders were slaughterFederally inspected plants . This was 63 percent more than a year earlier. 
The cutback in the rate of production expansion has been mainly in response to the relow broiler pric es during the fourth quarter of 1966. U.S. live broiler prices averaged cents per pound in October-December 1966--l. 6 cents per pound below a year earlier the lowest price on record for the period. But, higher prices for feed and other producitems also greatly reduced the profitability of broii er product ion. The broiler feed price during the fourth quarter was 2. 5- -down 17 percent from both the preceding quarter and 
) 
au.1c quarter a year earlier. 
Potential Still Lar e 
However, the potential still exists for a substantial expansion in broiler production, -\;u.Lculy during the late spring and early summer because of the large number of layers 
will be entering hatchery sup ply flocks over the next several months. Pullet chick placefor hatchery supply flocks in recent months indicate that the Nation's broiler breeder during the first half of 1967 would be 15 to 20 percent above a year earlier if there was 
...,._T''-year change in the average age of hatchery supply flocks. However, less favorbroiler-feed price relationships in recent months are expected to continue at least midyear, This probably will continue to e ncourage a more rapid sell-off of older r flocks in 1967 than in 1966. This suggests that the actual number of broiler breeders first half of 1967 will be up less than the inflow of new pullets would indicate. But the r breeder flock could easily support a 5 t o 10 percent increase over 1966 levels in r production during late spring and summer . 
Recover 
Broiler prices broke sharply during the fourth quarter of 1966 to the lowest levels on for the period. Average U.S. prices for live birds were 12.9 cents per pound in Octocember compared with 15. 5 cents the preceding quarter and 14. 5 cents in the same 
a year earlier , Prior to the break, prices (in relation to a year earlier) had been 
upward almost uninterruptedly since mid-1964 . The price weakness resulted mostly the sharp upsurg e in production during a p eriod o f seasonally w eak demand and from in- 
competition from pork. An 8 million-pound reduction in exports in October-Decema year earlier was also a fa tor in the weak market. 
After Christmas , however, broiler prices recovered much of the loss as retailers advantage of the low prices to feature broilers more aggressively. Stepped-up USDA 
s of young chickens for the National School Lunch Program also helped to strengthen during this period. U. S . live broiler prices rebounded to 13.9 cents per pound 
y from 11.9 cents in Decembe r but still remained 2. 5 cents below a year earlier. 
the week b eginning February 13, the pri ce for ready-to-cook broile rs in Chicago d Z8. 6 cents p er pound, compared with 25 . 7 cents in mid-January and 28. 3 cents in ruary 1966, 
{ OVER ) 
 
 A s broiler pric e s continued to weaken, U;5 DA purchases were stepped up from a ly average rate of 2. 0 million pounds in Octobe r-November to 3. 0 million pounds in Dzce and 2. 5 million pounds in early January. The purchase program was terminated on Janu 19, 1967. Cummulative purchases from A ugus t 19, 1966 when buying began through Jan 19 totaled 54 million pounds or about 1 percent of total slaughter during the period. Tot cost of the purchases delivered to points of destination was $16.9 million. 
Over the ne x t 4 months broiler prices are expected to fluctuate around current lev This would put them below the relatively high prices of March-June 1966. Although broil supplies during the period may well be only slightly to moderately above a year earlier, c petition will be more intense from larger supplies and lower prices for turkeys, pork and In addition, with over production of poultry in Europe, competition for foreign markets  be more intense and broile r exports may continue to run below a year earlier. 
Volume Reduced in 1966 
The United 3tates exported 163 million pounds of fresh and frozen poultry in 1966down from 182 million pounds in 1965 and the record 263 million pounds in 1962. Larger ports of broiler and turkey parts partially offs et smaller exports of whole broilers, fowl turkeys. 
All poultry export s were up sharply in January-February from those months in 196 
when volume had been reduced sharply by the maritime strike. But, as the year progres 
exports of whole birds--turkeys, broilers and ste wing chickens--fell sharply below the 19 
levels. Total turke y exports, however, finished the year by spurting above November-De ember 1965 leve ls  .E x ports of whole broilers and broiler parts on the other hand, hovere slightly above the 1965 level in March through .S e ptember, but failed to register the usual 
seasonal rise during the fourt h quart er . Fourth quarter broiler exports in 1966 totaled 26 
million pounds, compared with 34 million in that pe riod of 1965. 
West G ermany continued th e largest fo reign market for U.S. poultry in 1966. U,S broiler exports (Fractically all in the form of parts) to West Germany last year totaled 21 lion pounds--slightly above a year earlier. Exports of whole turkeys and turkey parts to Germany were 31 million pounds in 1966--down from 37 million in 1965. West Germany year accounted for 24 percent of our total broiler exports and 66 percent of our turkey ex ports--about the same percentages as in 1965. Other important foreign markets for U.S, fresh and frozen poultry in 1966, with the volume of exports in parentheses, were: Hong Kong ( 12. 8 million pounds), Japan ( 10. 3 million pounds), and the Netherlands (9. 0 million pounds.) 
A number of factors contributed to the decline in U.S. poultry exports in 1966. Ex ports to West Germany were adversely affected by: (1) The continuation of high levies a gainst U.S. exports; (2) uncertainty about the enforcement of new grading regulations that went into effect on July 1;  (3) a tight credit situation in Germany; and (4) the strong U.S. demand and price situation for poultry in 1966 which made it difficult for exporters to obt supplies at prices low enough to compete in world markets. 
The latter factor appears to have been more important for turkeys than for chicke VVest German imports of turkey rose in 1966, but Denmark and the Netherland rather than the United States provided the increase. Finally, broiler production in Europe--especiall in West Germany and the Netherlands--continued to expand rapidly in 1966. This not only duced our access to the West German market, but also intensified competition in internati poultry trade  .f or instance, West Germany began to subsidize broiler exports outside the EEC for the first time in November of 1966. Other European countries--especially theN lands, France, Belgium, and Denmark- -have been subsidizing exports since late 1962.. 
Variable Levies Scheduled to Fall 
On July 1, of this year a system of unified grain prices is scheduled to go into effe in the Common Market. This will result in a substantial reduction in the level of feed gr  prices in West Germany and consequently a substantial reduction--nearly 40 percent--in variable levies against poultry imports from outside countries. The hoped-for favorable pact of this reduction on the total levies against U.S. poultry, however, conceivably could offset by changes in EEC policy on poultry. In addition, the United States still hopes that Kennedy Round of tariff negotiations currently underway in Geneva among members of the General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) also will contribute to mode rating theE protection on poultry.

In the ings area, harvest was well advanced and damage to the remaining acreage by the cold in late February is not expected to be extensive. In the central area, mature heads in them and some young pla nts were flattened, but are expected to recover. The west counties also were adversely affected. The Everglades muckland cabbage and south sandland crops sustained no significant damage. Harvest in Texas was active in all areas during February . Cabbage made good growth alt hough yields on some of the late are expected to be below normal because of freeze damage early in the season. Shipare expected to be moderate in March and April with supplies available into May. 
The~ sprinq crop is est imated at 11,100 acres for harvest compared with 11,750 acres ted in 1966. In South Carol ina the crop was reported in very good condition prior to hard freezes of February 24 and 25 when temperatures dropped to the mid-teens in the ton-Beaufort area. For the most part, freeze damage was confined to outer leaf burn; r, considerable damage may show up later. The full extent of the damage will not be 
until near harvest. Movement is now expected to begin around mid-April. Growth and in Georgia are reported to be good. It is too early to determine damage if any from freeze in late February. Light, local movement has been underway in southern counties Ma~ma since early December. Th e main southern c rop is developing nicely and volume tis expected about Apri I 1. Damage from the late February freeze was I ight. In issippi, the crop is making good growth . In the Breaux Bridge area of Louisiana, the is generally in good cond ition . /arm, dry weather is now needed for normal crop opment. First s h ipments fr om this area are expec..ted about April 1. In California, tin the coastal districts will be underwa y in Apri l and peak in t1ay. 
The early spri nq tomato crop is estimated at 17,000 acres for harvest in 1967 compa red with 23,600 acres harvested in 1966. In Florida, the crop was ly affected by subfreezing temperatures February 25-26. In north central areas most of Kreage planted was frozen. A small amo unt of plants were saved but more will be needed all the lost acreage is to be transplanted. In west central counties (Manatee-Ruskinla), considerable acreage was lost and extensive resetting wi ll be necessary. At Ft. Immokalee, scattered I ight to heavy damage occurred and a few f ields were lost. Light occurred near Naples and plant development was de l ayed . Ft. Pierce had spotty plant reducing stands. Early plants have set fruit while late fields are at thinning stage. ~unty plants are in good condition. The small spring crop of vine ripes sustained ~mage in east Palm Beach County. Seeding in Texas wa s nearly completed by Ma rch I. continued slow dur ing February, but prospect s were improv i ng at the end of the month. 
 
 \.Jatermelons: Growers intend to harvest 179 ,900 acre s of early summer watermelon this ye 
compared wit h 184,900 acres harvested last year and the 1961-65 average o 195,020 acres . In North Carol i na, plants are not expected to be act i ve until the last halfc April. Plantings in South Carol i na are expected to begin around March 10, and become active around April 1. Early indications point to an increase in acreage in the Allendale area of~ s~t by reported acreage decl i nes i n the Barnwell and Chesterfield areas. Land preparation in Georgia is making good progress an d some plant i ng has begun in the extreme southern counties, Charleston Greys are expected to continue to lead in varieties planted. Wet fields in Alabari have prevented seedbed preparat ion i n most areas. General planting is expected to get unde~ around mid-March. Planting in Missi ssipp i should start about March 15. In Arkansas, moistu supply, part i cularly i n the subsoil, is short in most watermelon growing counties, and needs be replenished before the plantin g season gets underway in April. In Oklahoma, it is very d over most of the produc i ng areas. The acreage to be planted will depend considerably upon t~ timing of rains during the next 60 days. Cold, wet weather in Louisiana has delayed land p~ paration somewhat, but growers in the major commercial area are expecting to begin planting~ mid-March. A decline i n acreage i s expected in the important Saline area but an offsetting i crease i s indicated in t he Allen Parish growing area. Other major producing centers indica~ 1ittle change from 1966. South Texas watermelon growers started planting in late December. Freez i ng te~ peratures in Ja nuary and Feb r uary caused widespread replanting to be necessary. other areas, land is be ing prepared for pl9nting. First supplies are expected from the Valle around May 15. In Arizona , planting is near i ng completion, with early planted acreage makin! satisfactory growth. Pla nt i ng should be compl eted by the middle of March. The first of the watermelon harvest shoul d be gin in early J une .

Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the wee k ended March ll was 
9,914, 000 -- 2 p ercent more than in the previous week and 12 p e rcent more than in the 
comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Se rvice. 
 
An estimated 13, 027, 000 broiler type eggs were set by G e orgia hatcheries -- l 
percent less than in the p revious we e k and 3 p e rcent l es s tha n in the comparable week a year earlier. 
 
The m ajo rity of t he prices paid to Georgia produce r s for broiler hatching eggs 
were reported within a r a ng e of 45 to 65 cents per dozen . The average pric e of hatching eggs wa s 57 cents p er dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned 
cockerels gen erally was 2 cents b e low the average price . Most prices received for 
broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $7.00 to $9.25 with an aver ag e of $ 8.00 p e r hundr ed . The average prices last year were 67 cents for 
eggs and $10,25 fo r chicks.

PROSPECTIVE PLANTINGS 1967 
Geor gia 
Based on fa rmers ' p lans as of March 1, the t ot a l a creage planted and t o be planted to in Ge or gia this year will be lar ger than 1966. Sharp increases in soybeans, corn and ~-~'-u and a s l i ght incr ease in sor ghum a creage more than offset the acreage decline in , barley, cot ton and Irish potat oes . The a creage of sweetpotatoes, peanuts and hay are 
at the same level as 1966 . 
 
The purpose of this report i s t o a ssist gr owers generally in making such changes in t heir a creage plans as may appear desir ab le . Acreages a ctua lly planted this year can be more or less than indicated for such r eas ons as weather or economic cond i tions , labor supp l y, farm programs , and how this report affe cts farmers ' actions.

Feed Grain Acreage 3 Percent l ar ger : Producers ' p l a ns on March 1 indicate a t otal feed g acreage of 120 . 3 milli on -- 3 percent mor e than l ast y 
but 2 percent belovl average . Subst ant ial increases i n corn and s orghums more than offset declines in oats and barley . Corn acreage is expect ed t o incre ase 7 percent 1\'i th all r egie of the country shmring a n increa se except the South Centr al. A 12 pe rcent increase is indi cat ed in sorghum acreage . All m~jor producing States expect sorghum plantings to be abo~ last year. A maj or fact or in the increase in corn and sorghum a creage is the elimination fr om t he 1967 Feed Grain Progr am of the provi s i on f or voluntary acr eage diversion f or pa except on small f arms . Als o7 oarley is not included i n the Program. Oat s acr eage is e~ ed t o be 9 percent smalle r , continuing a downward trend . Most Stat es indicat e a de crease fr om last year . Barley a creage is also expected t o be down 9 percent. The decrease is due partly t o increased planting of wheat . 
 
Cotton: Growers p lan t o plant 9,975,000 acres of cotton this year, 4 percent less than year. If these plans mat erialize , the U. S . cot ton acreage vrill 11break be l ow'' the 
10 million level f or the first t i me in nearly a century . The Domestic Allotment program, begun last yea r , is in effect again this year and even heavier a creage diversi on is expec Participation in the progr am was general last ye ar and the acreage dropped t o 10) 353,000 acres , 27 percent les s than the 14,152, 000 planted in 1965. Pri or t o pladng this program operation , the planted acreage ave r aged 15, 342, 000 acres (1961-65) . 
Soybeans : For the seventh consecutive year gr Jwers intend t o plant a record high a creage soybeans. Prospective soybean acreage planted alone f or all purposes t otals 
40 ,602 ,000 acres, almost 9 per cent more than 1966 and 33 percent above ave r age . All regie expe ct a creage increases from a year earlier, largest in South Central St ates at 16 perce 
The other indicated in creases are : South Atlantic , li percent j North Centra l , 6 percent; 
the minor producing North Atlantic , 9 percent . 
 
Tobacco : Grower s intend t o set 985,200 acres of all types of tobacco f or harvest in 1967, 
 
slightly above the 975 , 500 harvested last year. Acres harvested averaged 1, 125, 
 
f or 1961-65 . Flue -cur ed is the only class of t obacc o for which an increase above 1966 is 
 
expected. Burley acreage is expe cted t o show no change . All types of t obacco except 
 
Mary land, Pennsylvania Seedleaf , Shade-grown , and Perique are under quot as thi s year and 
 
bas ic allotments are unchanged fr om 1966 .

SPRING PLANT lNG PROGRESS AHEAD OF LAST YEAR 
 
Athens, Ga., April 10, 1967 -- Open weather for the past several weeks allowed rapid 
 
with spring planting which is well ahead of last year, according to the Georgia Crop 
 
However, lack of soi I moisture has become critical in most areas, and 
 
of the remaining acreage w ill not be seeded until soil moisture is replenished, Rains 
 
needed to germinate seed already planted, 
 
Over 70 percent of the intended tobacco acreage had been transplanted at the end of the 
compared with 29 percent last year. Irrigation was active throughout the week. Some re- 
ing was reported. 
 
Nearly 50 percent of the ..2...!:.!J. acreage has been planted in the southern areas. Statewide, ~~ent of the acreage has been seeded, compared with only 14 percent last year. 
 
~er 16 percent of the cotton acreage has been planted, compared with 8 percent last year. 
rth of the acreage has been planted in southern areas, while seeding in most northern getting under way. 
 
Eighteen percent of the peanut acreage has been seeded. This is well ahead of the less one percent planted during the comparable week last year. Small grains and pastures are need of r a i n. 
 
condition remained mostly fair to good in the southern producing areas and poor to in the northern areas of the State, Weather conditions have allowed for a good spraying 
no insect and disease problems have been encountered. 
' 
The lack of soil moisture is delaying growth and planting of vegetable crops. Irrigation being used where available. The cabbage harvest is well under way. Practically all of the 
~an and melon crops have been planted in the south. 
 
- Little or no rain fell over Georgia during the past week and only very I amounts have been recorded during the last four weeks. Most areas of the State were very and the forest fire haz<3 rd was high at the end of the week. The high percentage of sun- 
and low relative humidities have increased the drying rate. 
 
~orgia temperatures continued unseasonably warm during the week. New records were set on ormore days at several places as highs reached the high eighties and low nineties. 
for the week were 6 to 10 degrees above normal. This was the fifth straight week 
Georgia temperatures have been warmer than normal. 
 
In sharp contrast to 1966, most of Georgia was quite dry at the beginning of the 1967 
January had above normal rainfall in the southern half of the State but was be- 
north Georgia. February was slightly below normal in most areas and was followed 
1nunusually dry March. By climatological divisions, March rainfall ranged from only 16% normal in the southeast to 68% of normal in the east central. There hasn 1 t been a drier 
in north Georgia since 1937 and, for south Georgia, it was the driest March since 1955. 
a temperatures were cooler than normal du ri ng January and February but were much above 
1 in March. For the State as a whole, it was Georgia 1 s warmest March since 1946. It was ~e first month since November 1965 that temperatures have been above normal over the en- 
State, 
 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday, (April 11-15) calls for 
 
ures to average 6 to 12 degrees above normal, Rainfall will be I ittle to none in 
 
ia except widely scattered afternoon showers near the end of the period amounting to 
 
than I /2 inch.

Placement of broiler chicks in Ge orgia during the week ended May 6 was 949,000--2 percent less than i n the pr e vious week and 1 percent less than in comparable w e ek last ye ar, according to the Georgia Crop R eporting Se rvice . 
An estimate d 12, 523, 000 broiler type eggs were set by G e orgi a hatche ries-cent less than in the previous week a nd 12 perc ent l ess tha n in the comp a rable a year earlier. 
The majority of the pri c es p aid to Ge orgia producers fo r broiler hatching were reported within a range of 4 5 to 65 cents pe r dozen. The average price

Athens , Ga . , May 16 --Geo r gia's 1967 peach crop is f o recas t at 2, 700,000 bushels, sharp l y below the 3,800,000 bushe l crop i n 1966. 
 
A good crop was set in the extreme southern producing areas but t he l ac k of rain is ing sizin g. In the central producing areas, some varieties we re damage d by cold r but the crop outlook i s generally favorable. North Georgia peache s s uffered heavy damage and p roduction f rom this area will be 1ight . 
 
The pea ch estimates, 1ike those for practically all other crops , ne ces sa r i ly relate ~tal produ cti on . Therefore, they include not only insp ected rai l a nd t ruck shipments, also local sales, non-inspected truck shipments to points in Geo r gia an d a djoining 
, quan ti tie s used on farms where produced and any quantities not uti l ize d because of ~~c~ic con diti ons. The follow ing table shows the relationship betwee n the Department's 
produ ction es tima tes and the inspected rail and truck shipment s f or the years 1960 h 1966. The pe r centage of the total production moving in i ns pe cted sh i pments during s period has var ied from 41 to 68 percent except in 1965 whe n only 23 perce nt of proion was i ns pec ted .

 SPECIAL PEACH REPORT AS OF MAY 1, 1967 - UNITED STATES 
 
The peach crop in 9 Southern States is forecast at 456.1 mi 11 ion pounds, 39 percent less than last season and 38 percent below average. Only Alabama and Mississippi expect 
larger crops than last year. Most of the decrease is in the Carolinas where mid-March 
freezes seriously damaged the crop. 
 
In the Sandhills area of North Carol ina there is a good set on early var iet ies, mid-season varieties are practically all destroyed, and late season varieties have about one-half of a crop. The crop in South Carol ina is about two-fifths of average. The crop is spotty by locality, Early maturing varieties appear to have escaped with least injury , but the late crop appears to be a complete loss. 
 
In the northern areas of Georgia, the crop was mostly wiped out by mid-March f~ez~ and some varieties in the central area were damaged. Weather conditions during March and April favored an effective spray program. Rainfall has been I ight since early March and May I some areas needed moisture. Movement of early varieties from the southern counti~ was expected active by May 10, In Alabama, the March freeze damaged early varieties but prospects for other varieties are good. Light harvest will start about June I, 
 
Peach prospects in Mississippi are the best in several years. Harvest is expected to get underway in early June. In Louisiana freeze damage was I ight and most varieties re~ heavy thinning. Because of ample moisture, the fruit is sizing well. Harvest is expected to get underway about 2 weeks earlier than normal. Some early varieties should ripen by May 10. 
 
Production in Oklahoma is down slightly from last year due to a freeze in the St~ area. Moisture supplies are ample in the major producing area. In Texas, most producing areas have adequate moisture and peaches are progressing well. Harvest of early varieties is expected to get underway in late May. 
 
Prospects in California for both Clingstones and Freestones are uncertain due to tM cool, wet spring. Conditions did not favor pollinization, however, a reasonably good set prevails in most orchards, Light harvest of the earliest varieties is expected to begin in southern San Joaquin during late May. 
 
Colorado's Western Slope producing area was seriously damaged by subfreezing tempe~ tures in late April. The full extent of the damage still is indefinite but losses appa were heaviest in Mesa and Delta Counties, Spring freezes have caused an undetermined of damage to the crop in Utah. 
 
Late spring freezes have caused a variable amount of damage to the peach crop in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Some buds were also aama~ in New York and the crop is expected to be down sharp 1y in New Eng 1and. It is too early assess the full extent of the damage in these States.

 UNITED STATES GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF NAY 1~ 1967 
Winter whe at prospects i mproved slightly during April and the 1967 crop is expected to larger than last year and average . Spring fi eld work is laggi ng across the Northern and Hestern parts of the country where wet soils and cool temperatures have slowed progress , spread rains April 11-13 over much of the critically dry Central and Southern Great Plains halted deterioration of winter wheat and late April rains r elieve d the i mmed iate threat of s er ious drought over most of the Southeast . Peach prospects are sharply below last year in Southern States. Pasture and hay crop prospects  are slightl y below a year earlier , These improve when warmer weather arrives because tops oil moisture supplies are ge nerally April milk production was about the same as a ye ar earlier, but egg production was 6 percent above April 1966, 
Winter Wheat Prospects Brighten: Prospective production of winter wheat increased during-April-and the-196 7-crop~;-~ow expe cted t o be 13 per cent larger than last ye ar and 23 percent above average . V.Ji despread ra.i ns April 11-13 i n the cr itically dry Central and S Great Plains halted det eriorati on and i mproved prospects i n Kansas, Okl ahoma , and parts of Texas , However, for many fi el ds, the rains came too late . Noisture supplies , especially in the subsoil, are still critically short i n parts of west ern Kansas , tve stern Oklahoma, Colorado, and New Hexico. On April 21 to 24 sub-freez i ng temper atur es in the Central Great Plains caused some damage to Hinter tvheat in parts of Kansas and Colorad o, Prospects in winter t>Jh eat producing areas, exc ept the Southeast, continue good to excellent . The expected yield is 26. 8 bushels per harvested acre, c ompared Hi th 27 . 4 bushel s i n 1966. 
Southern Peach Prospects Down Sharply: Peach production in the 9 Southern States is cast at 4~6:1milli0n-poun&-;-39-pe;::'Ce;t- bel oH last year and 38 bel ot-J average , The reduced duction is mostly due to short cr ops in the Carolinas and north Georgia, from freez i ng temperatures when trees were nearing full bloom, The first 1967 fore cast for California apricots, cherries, and plums, places production belot-J last s eason due to cool, wet vreather critical stages of development . 
l'1ilk Production: April milk production in the United States is esti mated at 10,732 million poundB;-a-bout the same as a year earlier and 5 percent bel ow the 1961-65 average f~ month. On a daily average basis, milk production increas ed 6 percent from .r-Tarch to April, compared uith 5 percent a year earlier , 
foulk.Y_~g3_]g_g_: April egg production is estimated at 5, 999 million eggs , 6 percent above both April 1966 and the 1961-65 average, but 2 percent bel ow March 1967, This is the largest April production since 1950. 'Ihe average number of layers for April 1967 is at 314 million, up 5 percent from a ye ar earlier and up 6 percent from the 5 - year April Egg production per layer averaged 19. 09 dur ing April 1967 compared with 18. 95 eggs in April last year and the 5-year April average of 19. 03 eggs . 
The number of layers on Nay 1, 1967 is esti mated at 311,742,000 - 5 percent above a yert earlier and 6 percent above average , Estimated layer numbers were up 8 per cent in the . and South Ce ntral regions, 4 percent in the East North Central and South Atlantic regions, 2 percent in the Hest North Central, and about the same as a year earlier in the Horth Atlantic region.

SOYBEAN PlANTI NG ACTI VE 
Athens, Ga., June 5, 1967 
 
LIBRARIES 
Georgia farmers were planting soyb eans at a r ap{d pac e dur- 
 
except where we ather and soil conditions interferred, according to the Georgia 
 
Crop Reporting Service. 
County Agents reported about 55 perc ent of the Staters soybean acreage s eeded by the end 
of the week. This equals last year 's progress for the date, but is slightl y behind the normal planting schedule . Soil mois t ure was reported adequate to excessive over much of the State, but a few counties in the south need rain. Heavy we ek-end rains over the northeastern part of the State caused considerabl e crop damage . 
 
The cotton crop remained i n fair to poor condition. Plants conti nued to di e in many sections, andSo;e reseeding ~-.as done. Soybeans have been planted in many f i elds where cotton vJas destroyed. Cotton was squaring mostly in the southern half of the State, and insect c ontrol practices vrere under way. 
 
Corn improved and is generally i n good to fair condition. Cultivati ng and sidedre ssing remainecf"active, and additional acreages uer e laid by in souther n counties . Q_S,lLgh~ planting moved forward and Has ab out 40 :r-::.rc ent cm,plste at t~1.c end of the period . 
 
Cropping tobacco t-;as started in s everal areas, but remains light. Bud1rorms continued to cause trouble, and control measur es were active. The crop was reported in mostl y fair to good condition. Dusting peanuts for thrips control and landplastering remained active . The crop is generally in good condiiTOrl. 
 
~ gr~harvest advanced in central and southern Georgia and was progre ssing upstate . \fueat harvest is more than half finished, and three-fifths of the oats have been combined. Haying, moved for ward during the t-veek, but rain curtailed t his activity in many are as. Picking and packing E~~ became more common during the period. The condition of the crop showed some improvement over the previous week . 
 
According to Market Managers, the additional moisture received during the week has i mproved uowth and quality of vegetable and melon crops in southern areas. Temperatures have bee n too cool for good plant gro~in-Gentral-and northern areas. Light supplies of snap beans, cabbage , and squash are stili available.

THE POULTRY AND EGG SITUATION 
Approved by the Outlook and Situation Board, June 8, 1967 SITUATION AND O~TLOOK, (BROILERS) ' 
 
Uptrend in Broiler Production Arrested 
 
Broiler producers have taken steps to slow production expansion in recent weeks. Broilers slaughtered (liveweight) in Federally inspected plants during January-May were up a tenth from the like period of 1966. But, chick placements or egg settings in 22 states in the 9 weeks ended June 3 ave raged about the same as in corresponding period of 1966, indicating that broiler slaughter will total around year-earlier levels during June-August. 
The cutback is producers 1 response to an extended period of low profitability. Broiler firms have been caught in a severe price-cost squeeze since last fall; broiler prices have fallen sharply, while costs for feed, labor, and other inputs have remained above a year earlier. The price of a pound of live broiler in the 8 months through May was equal in value to only 2. 7 pounds of broiler feed--16 . percent less than a year earlier, and 13 percent below the aver:age for the period during the preceding 5 years. 
 
Because the broiler industry in earlier months had prepared for much larger production, the recent curtailment of broiler chick placements has been extremely costly. It has involved the diversion of a larger proportion of hatching eggs to be lower-valued food use and the disposition of hatchery supply flocks at an earlier age than usual. During the first 5 months of 1967, 11. 5 million heavy type hens and cocks (mostly broiler parent stock) were slaughtered in Federally inspected plants, 3. 0 million above the same period of 1966. 
Broiler firms also have halted the expansion in broile r hatchery supply flocks. Pullet chicks placed for breeder flocks in January-April totaled 12.6 million--0. 7 million, or 5 percent fewer than during the same period last year. However, because pullet chick placements were much larger last fall, the indicated potential size of the Nation 1s broiler breeder flock is still about a fifth above a year earlier. The recent cut in flock replacements indicates that by November the potential number of broiler breeders will be up around 5 percent from November 1966. 
Since the number of broiler breeder hens actually supplying broiler hatchery eggs 
has been limited by increased slaughter of older flocks over the past few months, hatching egg supplies could be increased considerably in coming months simply by an easing in the rate of slaughter and by more fully utilizing eggs from younger flocks. This means that the broi~:; :.:' industry will have the ability to rapidly expand egg settings and chick placements for fall and winter broiler marketings, if such an expansion seems warranted by current or prospective price-cost relationships. 
But, because hatching egg supplies will be tighter beginning late this year, broiler firms will be in a much better position to keep production in line with demand at profitable prices during the early part of 1968. 
 
Broiler Prices to Recover 
 
The U. S. average live broiler price was 13.3 cents per pound in May, compared with 13. 8 cents in April and 16. 7 cents in May 1966. In January-May, prices averaged 14.1 cents per pound--down 2. 4 cents from a year earlier to the lowest prices of record for the period. The second week in June, prices in Chicago for ready-to-cook broilers averaged 23 1/2 cents per pound--down 2 cents from mid-May, and 5 cents below a year earlier. 
The low broiler prices during the first half of 1967 reflect a number of factors. Broiler production during most of the period was up substantially from a year earlier. Supplies of competing products also showed large gains. January-April increases in output over a year earlier were: 34 percent for turkeys; 19 percent for po!"k,. 5 p ..:: rc e nt for beef;' and 7 p ~rc.cnt for e g gs . May 1 cold ~~ o r a e ~ hol C.inG::J wer e up fr om a year .cc: r l L: r by: 89 pe rc e1t for tu rk e ys; 33 percent for red meats; and 70 percent for eggs.

 In recent weeks, the uptrend in red meat production has been losing momentum. During May, Federally inspected slaughter was above a year earlier by only about 3 percent ~ for pork and beef. In coming months, increases over a year earlier for turkey, fowl, and eggs also are expected to shrink. By year 1s end, turkey and red meat production may be about the same as a year earlier. In addition, overall economic activity is expected to pick up during the second half. 
These factors, together with the tapering off in broiler production, are expected to lend strength to the broiler market in coming months. Third quarter live broiler prices likely will climb above those in May. Even if the uptrend in broiler production resumes late in 1967, fourth quarter prices probably would average significantly above the record low lZ. 9 cents per pound received in October-December 1966.

June 8, 1967 
 
Cash receipts ~ to Georgia farmers for livestock and poultry in 1966 reached an all-time Mgh of $631,133,000 - up ~~83,539,000 from the 1965 revised receipts of ~547,594,000, accord- 
~ to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. All species of livestock and poultry were up, 
IICept sheep, lambs, and wool. The total cash receipts from livestock and poultry have in- 
creased each year since 1961. 
 
Eggs had the larg'est increase in 1966 with a gain of 33 million dollars. Commercial l'oilers vrere up 26 million dollars, and cattle and calves advanced 12 million dollars. Turkeys Ml the largest percentage increase tvith a gain of 33 percent above the 1965 receipts. 
 
Cash receipts from individual crops will not be available until August 1967.

oecause or excensive repiarrt:.lng . c oo.L, v-nn y we a er :. e 1rs - part of  ay, retarded growth 
 
and prevented normal fruit set. However, recent warm weather has been ideal for growth . 
 
Ught harvest is expected to get under way around June 20. Harves ; is under way in southern 
 
areas of Georgia--about 15 days earlier than usual. Recent rains are expected to increase 
 
yields and size in central areas. Alabama watermelon prospects are good. Harvest in extreme 
 
southern counties is expected to begin around June 10 with volume supplies after mid-June. In 
 
the central areas, vines are making good growth and fruiting freely. In J.VIississippi, the crop 
u in fair to good condition. Some melons will be ready for harvest the last of June, and 
supplies from the southeastern area is expected to be ready for the July 4 market. In Arkansas, 
 
cool weather since late April caused considerable replanting and has slowed growth. Cool 
 
wather, particularly nights, during May in Louisiana has held bac k growth and development of 
 
the crop. 
 
(Continued on next page) 
 
 In Tex-as, supplies from the Rio Grande Valley and the Falfurrias-Hebbronville ar ea were 
expected to reach peak production about June l. Harvest should start in central and east Texas about mid-June and get under t'lay in north Texas in early July.

mreessive except in a few counties in the southern part of the State. The heavy rains in the 
 
~heastern part of the State the previous week caused much crop damage through erosion and 
 
soil packing. 
 
County Agents reported. little improvement in cotton. Plants continued t o die, and additionuacreages were destroyed and planted to soybeans:-:MUCh of the cotton in southern areas was squaring, and ,older plantings were setting bolls. Cultivating and insect contr ol were active .

Vegetable and melon harvest made very good progress, according to JI'Iarket Nanag ers. Cucumber 
 
~est was nearing completion. Cantaloup, watermelon, and tomato harvest increased. Sweet- 
 
~atoes are in good condition and vine cuttings were being transplanted. 
 
WEATHER S~~J.ffiy ~- Extremely heavy rains occurred in northeast Georgia and parts of the 
 
southwest during the weekend of June 4. Host other sections of the State received light to 
 
a~erate amounts during this period. The heaviest rains in the northeast were apparent ly cen- 
 
Z.ed in the Athens area. Slightly more than 10 inches were measured at the Athens Airp ort and 
 
ID unofficial measurement a few miles northeast of Athens showed 14 inches. r1ost weather re.~ing stations north and east of Athens recorded more than 4 inches from the weekend storm. 
Jhe largest total reported in southv1est Georgia was at Fort Gaines where 7. 90 i nches f ell. Of 
 
Uds total, 7.50 inches occurred in a 24-hour period. Several other observers in the southwest 
 
r~rted over 2 inches. In contrast, several places in northwest and southeast Georgia had 
 
Jess than 1/2 inch of rain during the week. Little or no rain occurred anytvhere in the State ~er Monday, June 5. Parts of south central Georgia were quite dry at t he end of t he period.

SPECIAL PEACH REPORT AS OF JUNE 1, 1967 
 
Georgia's 1967 peach crop was forecast at  3,000,000 bushels, 300,000 bushels above the May 1 estimate but 800,000 bushels below 1966 production. Average production for the 196165 period was 3,958,000 bushels. 
 
Weather during May was favorable for carrying out an effective spray program and no unusual disease or insect problems developed. Sizing was affected by dry weather but most areas received rains the latter part of May. Shipments through June 11 totaled 957 carlot equivalents compared with 929 to the same date last year. Some varieties moving to market  are Coronet, Keystone, Maygold, Redcap, Dixigem and Redhaven. 
 
The peach estimate relates to total production which includes rail and truck shipments, local sales, non-inspected truck shipments to points in the State and adjoining states, quantities used on farms where produced, and in some years quantities not utilized because of economic conditions.

The Nation's 1967 peach crop i s forecast at 2,9 53.1 mi ll ion pounds, 13 percent less than last season and 17 percent below average, Excluding California Clingstone ; mostly a canning crop, a production of 1,353. I mi ll ion pounds i s forecast, 22 percent less than last year and 35 percent below average. 
 
In the 9 Southern States, production i s expected to total 474.6 mill ion pounds, 37 per- 
 
cent less than last season and 35 percent below average. Only two of the 9 States - Alabama 
 
and Mississippi, expect larger crops, Most of the decrease from last season is in the 
 
Care~ inas, where mid-March freezes seriously damaged the crop. In Georg ia, early var ieties 
 
are moving .in volume, In South Carol ina, harvest i s underway but i t wi II be mid-June before 
 
volume increases apprec iably, Harvest i n North Carol ina began on May 25 and was expected to 
 
advance sharply during the week start i ng June 5. In Alabama, harvest of early var ieties began 
 
about May 10. The Arkansas crop is early this year and fruit i s sizing well. In Louisiana, 
 
a week of rainy weather early i n June slowed harvest and caused some loss of . r ipe fruit. In 
 
Texas, I ight harvest of early variet ies began in the Hill country and in northeast Texas about 
 
mid-May. 
 
In New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, cool, rainy weather retarded 
 
 
 
bloom and caused poor poll i nation. Larger crops than a year earlier are forecast for Ohio, 
 
Indiana, Michigan, Mi ssouri, and Kansas. The Illinois crop is expected to be 4 percent smaller than last year. In Ohio, winter i njury, poor pollination, and late sprin g frosts 
 
. 
 
lowered production prospects, In Michigan, winterkill of buds was heavy in the west central 
 
area. In Missouri, fruit prospects vary by areas because of late April freezes. 
 
In Maryland and Delaware, the peach crop was hurt by adverse winter and spring weather. Virginia's crop is expected to be unusually light, In West Virginia, freezes in March and Apr i l caused heavy damage to buds and bloom. 
 
Idaho's crop is forecast about SO percent above average, but prospective production in 
 
Colorado is for a record low because of severe freezes on Apr i l 20 and April 21 over the 
 
entire Western Slope, In Wash i ngton, trees set a good crop of fruit. Bloom of the crop in 
 
Oregon extended over a relat i vely long period of t ime but with generally poor pollinating 
 
weather. 
 
 
 
The Freestone crop in California i s expected to total 500.0 mill ion pounds, 3 percent 
 
less than last year. Harvest of earliest var i eti~s began May 23, about 10 days later than normal. Fruit sizes appear to be quite good,

ATHENS, GEORGIA 
 
GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF JUNE 1, 1967 
 
June 13, 1967 
 
Qeorgia: 1rJeather during ~1ay was not too good for farming in Georgia. At the beginning of the 
month, North Georgia was wet and central and southern areas were dry. Rains on 
, May 21 and 22 relieved the dry conditions in southern areas, but further delayed progr'ess in  
the north. Temperatures duxing the month were unusually cool and advers ely affected seed germination and early plant growth. Much reseeding was necessary and many uneve0 stands gtill exist. 
 
Since June 1, crop conditions have shown considerable improvement, especially in the central and southern portions of the State. The northeastern area suffered further set-back from very heavy rains in early June. 
 
~each~~: Georgia's 1967 peach forecast on June 1 was placed at 3,000,000 bushels. The estimate is up 300,000 bushels from last month, but 800,000 bushels below last 
year ts production. 
 
Wh~: The June 1 forecast placed Georgia's 1967 wheat production at 2,862,000 bushels; compared with 1,950,000 bushels in 1966. Yield per acre is estimated at 27.0 
bushels - 3 bushels below last year Is average. 
) 
Hav Egg_J'r~:12.ion UJ2: Egg production on Georgia farms during Hay t-Jas estimated at 421 million - 13 million above production in May last year. Number of 
. layers on farms during Hay averaged 21,494,000 compared with 20,892,000 a year ago. 
 
k!llk.Productiop Up: Hilk production on Georgia farms during May totaled 91 million pounds - 4 million pounds above production a yea~ ago, but the same 
, as produced the previous month. 
 
1):_git~9 States S~;Y 
\!linter wheat prospects improved 4 percent during liay as timely showers and a lack of high 
 temperatures more than offset early 11ay freeze damage in the Central Great Plains. The current 
estimate for winter wheat is 17 percent above last year and 28 percent above average. Estimated spring wheat production is 23 percent above last year. The all vJheat total for 1967 is 18 percent above last year and 28 percent above average. Corn and soybean planting generally 
lagged behind last year and normal in the eastern Corn Belt and South Central areas, but was about normal in the western Corn Belt. Hay and pasture prospects declined in the North Central , and Northeastern areas but improved in most other sections. Non-citrus fruit prospects are 
not as good as a year earlier. Citrus production for 1966-67 is expected to be 31 percent 
l~ger than a year earlier. Spring vegetables supplies are expected to be 2 percent greater  than last year but total production of winter, spring, and early sUJrl.mer potatoes is forecast 
~percent below last year. May milk production was about the same as last year, but egg pro- 
duction was up 5 percent from May a year ago. 
 
~~~!:_Prospects Impr~~: Indicated 1967 winter tvheat production improved during Hay 
as cool weather and timely moisture in most areas ~ore 
than offset early Hay freeze damage in the Central Great Plains. 1rJheat in IVIontana, the Pacific 
Northwest, and the Corn Belt continued to make excellent progress. Dr y we ather and freeze 
damage reduced yield prospects in Texas, New Mexico, and South Dakota. In the East and South, 
prospects changed only slightly during Hay. The June 1 indicated production of 1,237 million 
bushels of winter wheat is 4 percent above the forecast of a month earlier, 17 percent more 
than the 1966 total, and 28 percent above average. 
 
Spring wheat seeding was practically complete in spite of delays c~used by wet fields and 
cool temperatures. Early growth has bee n .slovr because of generally cold, wet we ather , although 
soils are dry in parts of Hinnesota and South Dakota. The forecast for 1967 production of all spring wheat is 313 million bushels, 23 percent more than last year and 28 percent above

Peacpes: The Nationls 1967 peach crop is forecast at 2,953.1 million pounds, 13 percent 
less than last season and 17 percent below average. Excluding California Clingstone, mostly a canning crop, a production of 1,353.1 million pounds is forecast, 22 percent less than last year and 35 percent below average. 
 
In the 9 Southern States, production is expected to total 474.6 million pounds, 37 percent less than last season and 35 percent below average. Only two of the 9 States - Alabama and Hississippi, expect larger crops. Most of the decrease from last season is in the Carolinas, 
where mid-Harch freezes seriously damaged the crop. In Georgia, early varieties are moving in volume. In South Carolina, harvest is undert-J"ay but it Hill be mid-June before volume increases 
appreciably. Harvest in North Carolina began on riay 25 and t-1as expected to advance sharply 
during the week starting June 5. In Alabama, harvest of early varieties began about May 10. 
'l'he Arkansas crop is early this year and fruit is sizing well. In Louisiana, a week of rainy ~reather early in June slot-Jed harvest and caused some loss of ripe fruit. In Texas, light harvest of early varieties began in the Hill country and in northeast Texas about mid~1ay. 
 
N!!~r~uction: May milk production in the United States is estimated at 11,508 million 
 
_ 
 
pounds, about the same as a year earlier but 7 percent belot-J" the 1961-65 
 
average for the month. On a daily basis, n1ilk production increased 4 percent from April to 
 
lVIay which is the same as a year earlier. Although Hay is usually the peak month for milk pro- 
 
duction, seasonal peaks have become les s pronouncec in recent years. 
 
f2!!1kY and Egg_: Egg production during l-iay totaled 6,125 million eggs, 5 percent above 
May 1966 and 6 perc ent ab ove the 1961-65 l'~a:" average. This is the largest Hay production since 1946. The average nwnber of layers for ~'Iay is estimated at 310. 8 
million, up 5 percent from a year earlier but dot-m seasonally by l percent from a month earlier. 
Production per layer averaged 19.70 eggs during nay 1967 compa.red with 19.65 eggs in Hay last year. Aggregate egg production from January throug:1. :i/iay 1967 totaled 29,583 million eggs com- 
pared with 27, 795 million during 1966, a 6 percent i :1crease. 
 
May egg production was up from a year earlier in all regions reaching a record high in the 
 
South Atlantic and vJestern regions, and the highest since 1944 in the South Centra~ region. 
 
Sharpest regional increases from a year earlier were in the South Central, up 8 percent and in 
 
the \rJest, up 7 percent. 
 
' 
 
The number of layers on June 1, 1967 totaled 309.9 million, 5 percent more than a year 
earlier and 7 percent above average. 3stimated layers uere up 9 percent in the South Central region, 8 percent in the Western region, 6 perc ent in the South Atlantic, 3 percent each in the East North Central and \rJest North Central regions, and slightly above a year earlier in 
the North Atlantic region.

Eay production of milk in the United States is estimated at 11,508 million pounds, about the same as output in r1ay 1966 but 7 percent belou the 1961-65 average for the month. May is usually the peak month in milk production, but the seasonal peak has become less pronounced in recent years . 
 
Total milk production during the January - May period this year is 51,822 million 
 
po~nds -- slightly above the comparable 1966 period. On a daily basis, milk production in- 
 
creased 4 percent from April to May, which is the same seasonal gain as a year earlier.

LIBRAR IES 
 
Athens, Ga., June 19 -- Georgia farmers had a busy week of field work, according to the 
 
Crop Reporting Service. Open skies during most of the period permitted farmers to make big 
 
_gains in a variety of field activities. Soil moisture remained mostly adequate in northern 
 
~eas and short in many southern counties. 
 
~~ton showed a slight improvement over the previous Heek . Several County Agents reported additional acreage of cotton tvith poor stands being ploHed up, hotvever, and replanted to other crops -mostly soybeans. StateHide, about half of the cotton tvas squaring and one-sixth v1as setting bolls. The bulk of the fruiting v.1as in the southernmost third of the State. 
 
The condition of the Staters corn crop continued to show improvement. ' Additional acreage , particularly in central and southern-ireas, received final cultivation and sidedressine as fields tvere laid-by. 
 
Activity in ~eanuts was high wi th weed, insect and disease control receiving much attention. The crop was mostly reported as good. Soybean and sorghum planting had another good v1eek of progress. About eighty percent of the iritend'ed soybean acreage has been planted and sorghum planting was about 70 percent complete . 
 
Tobacco cropping increased during the week. Sucker and insect control and topping were activein-iiio.st fields. The condition of the crop, mostly good, was unchanged from the previous week. 
Harvest of small grains advanced very rapidly, particularly in northern counties. About half of the crop was cora"Sined by the week end in northern areas' about 80 percent in central sections, and about complete in lower State. ?av}ng was very active over most of the State. Pastures remained ih mostly good condition. 
 
About one-third of the expected E~ch volume has been harvested . Brown rot presented problems in several areas, but controls were proving effective. Through June 15, 1,226 carlot equivalents had been Shipped compared vrith 1,205 through the same date last year. 
Harket llianagers reported !-_omat~, ~oups, and li~~~9.~ v;ere marketed in good quality and volume. Lima beans and field peas also moved in volume. Dry, hot weather has shortened the harvest season forearly planted-veget'ables. 
 
'HEATHER SUl1HARY :""- Scattered sho~.vers and thundershov1ers occurred over the southern third of Georgia and in the extreme north during the wee!<: ending Friday, June 16. Amounts were mostly less than one-half inch, but a few south Georgia observers recorded more than an inch. Little or no rainfall was reported in Hiddle Georgia, and northuard to the mountains. Nany areas have had no significant rain in the past two tveeks and some sm-face soils were becoming quite dry by the end of the v1eek. . Practically no rain occurred in the State during the tveek end. 
 
Georgia temperatures continued unseasonably mild for the fifth straight ueek. Averages 
were 3 to 5 degrees higher than for the previous tveek, but tvere still l to 3 degrees beloH nor- 
mal. A warming trend during the last half of the week brought readings up to normal by the end 
of the period . Afternoon highs tvere generally in the low and middle nineties during the week 
end in all areas except the mountains. 
 
. The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday (June 20-24) calls for temperatures to average near to a few degrees below normal. It will be rather warm during the first half of the week, turning cooler the last half. Rainfall is expected to average 1/211 to 111 , or more, and occur as widely scattered afternoon and evening thundershowers during the ueek. The showers should become more numerous about Thursday and Friday.

CROP CONDITION UNCHANGED 
 
Athens, Ga., June 26 -- .General crop conditions were about the same as the previous week, 
agcording to _the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Farmers were very ~ctive cultivating crop's, applying contrql measures for insects and diseases, applying herbicides, harvesting grain, planting soybeans and sorghums, and haymaking. Only four County Agents reported soil moisture as being very short. 
 
Q~ condition deteriorated still further during the week. County Agents estimated the condition as mostly fair. About half of the cotton was setting bolls in southern districts, but practically none was this advanced in northern counties. 
 
Additional soil moisture improved ~ condition slightly. Crop prospects are good in most areas.

Pean~ prospects were better than any other major crop. Farmers were busy with insect and 
 
disease controls, application of land plaster, and cultivation. 
 
Tobacco harvest. continued to increase and cropping was reported as 10 percent complete. The condition of the crop was mostly good with a slight improvement over the previous week. Suckering, insect control, and topping were still ~ctive. 
 
Small ~harvest was virtually complete in southern areas, past the 90 percent mark 
in central counties, and well over two-thirds complete in northern districts. State-wiqe, over 90 percent of the wheat and 94 percent of the ~ have been harvested. 
 
About 90 percent of the intended soybean acreage and 75 percent of the sorghum acreage have been planted. Haymaking has been very active. Pastures were reported _as mostly good. 
 
~~ . harvest was nearing completion in southern counties, about one-half complete in 
 
central counties and just beginning in the northern part of the State. Through June 22,

Market Managers reported most yegetable crops have passed peak harvest, and melons are 
nearing peak in central and southern areas. High temperatures damaged cantaloup and tomato 
vines. Through June 23, 2,439 carlot equivalents of watermelons had been shipped compared with 352 through the same date last year. 
 
WEATHER SUMMARY -- Rainfall over Georgia was highly variable in showers during the week ending Friday, June 23. The showers were generally light to moderate in the north and moderate 
to locally heavy in the south. Several south Georgia weather stations, and Dalton in the extreme nortnwest, had more than 3 inches during the week. The observer at Colquitt measured 
5.74 inches for the largest weekly total. Of this amount, 4.46 inches fell in a 24-hour period. 
In contrast, only a trace of rain was recorded at West Point and several other places had less than one-fourth inch. The showers were more frequent during the last half of the week and con- 
tinued to occur through the weekend. 
 
The past week was the warmest of the summer in Georgia as temperatures averaged near nor- 
 
mal, or slightly above, over most of the State. This was the first week in the last six that 
 
had been as warm as normal. Highs were in the upper 90's in south Georgia and lower 90's over 
 
most of the north on one or more days. However, there was considerable variation from day to 
 
day, depending on whether or not showers occurred in the area. e week was also quite humid due .tb. the flow of moist air from the Gulf and the frequent show~~r~~~,;::~----~........0

Sprinq Piq Crop Up 6 Percent 
Georgia's 1967 spring pig crop (December 1966- May 1967) is estimated at 1,150,000 head, 6 percent above the 1966 spring crop of 1,086,000 head. A total of 162,000 sows farrowed during the period-averaging 7.1 pigs per 1itter. 
1967 Fall Intentions Steady 
Sows farrowing during the fall of 1967 (June-November) on Georgia farms are expected to number 140,000- equal to the 1966 fall 'farrowings~ If these intentions are realized (and assuming an average of 7.1 pigs per 1itter), the fall pig crop would total 994,000 head.

 UNITED STATES: 
DECEMBER 1966-HAY 1967 PIG CROP UP I PERCENT 
The U. S. pig crop for December 1966 - Hay 1967 totaled 45,949,000 head, I percent more than .in the same period a year earl ier. Each region showed an increase except the East North Central which was down 3 percent. Increases were: North Atlantic, 4 percent; \.Jest North Central, I percent; South Atlantic, 7 percent; South Central, 6 percent, and the West, 5 percent. 
The December-Hay farrowings were 2 percentage points less than indicated by farmers' intentions last December. By regions, December-Hay farrowings compared with intentions reported last December as percent of a year earlier are: North Atlantic, 101 percent now and 103 percent in December; East North Central, 97 and 102; West North Central, 101 and 101; South Atlantic, 107 and 107; South Central, 104 and 110; and West, 106 and 103. 
The average number of pigs per I itter was a record high of 7.34 for December-Hay compared with 7.32 a year earlier. 
JUNE-NOVEMBER INTENTIONS 
June I reports from farmers on breeding intentions indicate that 5,452,000 sows will farrow in the United States during June-November 1967. This is a 3-percent decrease from the 5,648,000 sows farrowing during the corresponding period of 1966 and is 4 percent below average. 
If intentions for June-November farrowings materialize and the number of pigs per litter equals the average plus an allowance for trend, the pig crop for the period will total 39,600,000, a decrease 3 percent from a year earlier. The combined 1967 pig crop at 85,549,000, would be I percent below the 1966 pig crop.

Q~ia 
Crimson Clove~d Production Smallest in 26 Years 
Tbe 1967 crimson clover seed production in Georgia is forecast at 595,000 pounds compared 
nth 600,000 pounds in 1966. This is the smallest crop since 1941. The acreage harvested is 7,000 compared with 6,000 last season, but is only 67 percent of the 1961-65 ~yerage of ,10,400 acres. Yield per acre in 1967 of 85 pounds is equal to the record low in 1955. 
 
Little rainfall was received from March to mid-May in the southern half of the State and ~eld prospects were reduced. Some acreage intended for seed was not harvested due to the ' lower yield. In the northern districts, heavy rains during the harvesting season damaged the crop in some areas and reduced yields by heavy shattering. 
 
- - - United S......t..a_t...e....s... 
Crimson clover seed production in the Southern States this year is estimated at 1,912,000 pounds, 19 percent less than the 1966 crop. Reseeding varieties such as Dixie, Autauga, and Auburn are expected to total 1,145,000 pounds compared with the 1,370,000 pounds produced from 
.these varieties last year. 
 
Favorable weather conditions last fall permitted newly planted and volunteer stands of ~r~on clover to become well established. Development during the winter months in southern producing States was generally good. However, very little rainfall from March to mid-Nay in ~orgia and Alabama reduced seed production. In Tennessee, excessive rainfall :during the blooming period resulted in poor seed set and additional rainfall during the harvest period caused shattering and heavy vegetative growth. With a generally favorable season in 
Mssissippi and Arkansas, yields were above average. The five.State total of 17,300 acres is U percent below the 19,900 acres harvested last year, and 46 percent below the 1961-65 average. 
! 
Yield per acre in the five-otate area is estimated at 111 pounds, a decrease of 8 pounds from the 119 pound yield in 1966. Yields were below 1966 in Georgia and Tennessee. Yields 
~ualled or exceeded last year in ~rkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama. 
 
Harvest of crimson clover seed was generally earlier than last year. Average beginning 
 
4ates of harvest this year were: Hay 15 in Georgia and Alabama; Hay 16 in Hississippi, 
 
May 31 in Tennessee; and June 2 in Arkansas. 
 
 
 
Carryover of old-crop crimson clover seed by growers in the five Southern States is es- 
~ted at 55,000 pounds, 30 percent less than last yearts carryover of 79,000 pounds. A 
report covering June 30, 1967 stocks of old-crop seed held by dealers will be issued August 3. 
 
There has been no crimson clover seed imported since September 1963 when 44,000 pounds 
118l'e imported. 
 
An estimate of the late harvested crimson clover seed crop in Oregon is scheduled for release August 9.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT 
 
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended June 24 was 9, 226,000--2 percent less than in the previous week and 7 percent less than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. 
 
An estimated 12, 179, 000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-the same as in the previous week but 12 percent less 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 50 to 65 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 56 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 $5.00 to $8.75 with an average of $7.75 per hundred. The average prices last year were 64 cents for eggs and $9.75 for chicks.

JUL 11 1967 
 
Athens, Ga._, JuLy J -- The condi.tion of crops 
 
-the past lileek, ac- 
 
cording to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Increased soil moisture 
 
gely responsible 
 
for the brighter outlook. Between showers, farmers were very busy with cultivation and fertili- 
 
zation practices. Herbicide treatments, insect and disease controls, soybean and sorghum plant- 
 
ing, haying, and grain harvest also received considerable attention. 
 
Cotton showed the least improvement of all row crops. Frequent thundershowers made insect contror-difficult, and infestations were reported on the increase. Over two-thirds of the crop ~ setting bolls in southern areas, less than half in central sections, but boll setting was just beginning in most northern counties. 
 
Prospects for corn continued to improve with most sections reporting the condition as good. S~eral additional county Agents judged corn in their counties to be excellent. 
A busy schedtiie o~ insect 'aKd. disea~e control, laridpl~stering and cultivation was evident on E!lanuts. Prospec;s for . ~he crop showed a no~able_ improvement. 
 
Tobacco harvest was reported almost one-fifth complete. In a few localities, cropping had t~lowed as the increased moi-sture retarded the ripening process. Sucker and insect control and topping continued active. r 
 
Harvest of ~ grains was about over in the lower two-thirds of the State and about 90 ~rcent complete in northern counties. 
 
Soybean planting pushed ahead and about 95 percent of the intended acreage had been seeded 
 
by week's end. Sorghum planting was almost nine-tenths complete. Haying continued active, but 
 
mmerous showers caught much hay on the ground and delayed cutting of other fields. Pastures 
 
remained in mostly good co, nditJion. 
 
~ "' 
 
-- 
 
Peach harvest had a week of numerous interruptions by frequent rains. Statewide, about 6o percent of the cPop has been ' gathered. Thrbugh June 29, 2,237 carlot equivalents had been shipped compared with 2,195 through the same date' 'last year. ' 
 
Market Managers reported vegetable and melon harvest active with good quality. Shipments of 
watermelons totaled U,363 carlot equivalents~hraugh June 29, compared with 1,473 for the same 
period last year. 
 
Several outbreaks of Japanese beetles were reported in northern counties on a variety of plants. USDA applied controls in some areas. 
 
WEATHER S~~Y -- Almost daily showers and.thundershowers occurred over much of Georgia ~ing the week ending Friday, June 30. Rainfall was recorded in all sections of the State, but there were large variations in the ~ounts.The largest totals were generally in the south where sane places had over six inches for the week. The Columbus Airport had 6.42 inches for the wek ending Friday morning. This statio~ has ~ad ~eas~a~le . rain ~or. the+~~~ 13 day~. Ha~l was reported fn some areas  as a few of 'the thunderstoriris were quite- severe. The showery conditions continued over the State durj ng the week end and most areas had ample moisture by the end of the 
period. 
 
Georgia temperatures were cooler than normal during the week. The cloudy skies and frequent ~ernoon showers kept maximum readings in the mid and high 80is on most days. The temperature tUled to reach 80~ on one or more days in north Georgia, while a few highs in the 901s were re- 
pnted in the south .Averages ranged from slightly below normal in the south to several degrees 
below normal in the north. 
 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Sathrday (July 4-8) calls for tempera- 
 
tures to average 3 to 5 degrees below normal with little day to day changes. The normal maximum 
88-93, normal minimums 66-72. Precipitation will generally be about double the normal amounts 
 
ud will total about 1 to 1 3/4 inch with locally heavy showers producing 2 inches or more. The 
 
precipitation will be mostly associated with thundershower activity and will occur throughout the

Smallest Georgia Co~on Acreage of Record 
 
July 10, 1967 
 
The 1967 acreage of cotton planted in Georgia is estimated- at 350,000, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is 53,000 less than the 403,000 acres planted in 1966 and ' is the smallest acreage planted since estimates were . started in 1866. 
 
The decline in acreage is due to the multiple-choice program in effect this year. Most 
~ewers elected to divert up to 35 percent of their allotment. Some intended acreage was not 
planted due to unfavorable weather during the planting season. There will be a higher percent- 
age of abandoned acreage this year than usual due to poor stands. 
 
Planted acreage for the United States is estimated at 9,724,000 compared with 10,349 ,000" 
last year - or a decrease of 6 percent. 
, . 
The first 1967 production estimate will be made on August 8.

RAINS INTERRUPT FARM WORK 
 
Athens, Ga., July 10 --Frequent showers ~ver mu~b of the State and heavy rains in some 
 
sections during the week interrupted farm work, according to the Georgia Crop Keporting Service. 
 
As conditions permitted, however, farmers were busy harvesting peaches, tobacco, hays, ~getables and melons. Insect and disease control received much attention as these activities ~remade much more difficult by the frequent showers. 
 
County Agents noted 1ittle improvement in cotton. Boll weevil numbers continued to build up in spite of frequent applications of insecticides. Nearly two-thirds of the cotton is setting bolls- mostly in southern and central counties. Most of the cotton in northern districts is below this stage of development and somewhat later than usual. 
 
Corn continued to respond to the good moisture situation. Eighty-five percent of the ~porters judged crop prospects as good to excellent, with 28 percent in the latter category. 
 
Peanut prospects remain good. Insect and disease control measures continued. Soybeans ~de good growth. Some late plantings were made during the period. 
 
Tobacco harvest advanced slowly because of the rains. About 23 percent of the crop had ~en gathered by the end of the week. Topping, suckering, and insect control continued to ~ceive considerable attention. 
 
Hay crops made rapid growth, but cutting and curing was slow. Pastures are generally ,in good condition. 
 
Peach harvesting moved forward and was about 70 percent completed. Through July 6, 2,400 carlot equivalents had been shipped compared with 2,658 last year. 
 
Market Managers reported heavy rains and hot sun caused volume and quality of veqetable and melon crops to drop very fast during the period. ' Growth of sweetpotatoes was good and  ~Nest of early varieties was gE t ting under way. 
 
~lEATHER SUMMARY-- Showers continued to occur at frequent intervals over most of Georgia 
1during the past week. Rainfall amounts were highly variable, ranging from 1 ight at a few

Production of summer vegetables and melons is expected to be about 8 percent above a 
 
year ago, according to the Georg ia Crop Report ing Service. Ample to excessive moisture was 
 
rece ived i n most areas of the St ate during June. The harvesting season for most crops was 
 
2 to 3 weeks earlier than normal in southern areas. Quality and demand have been very good. 
 
Supplies are dec] in ing from central areas, but increas i ng i n mountain counties. Through 
 
1 June 30, shipments of most vegetable and melon crops were running considerably ahead of a 
 
year ago. A total of 4,354 carlot equivalent of watermelons have been shipped, compared with 
 
1,470 for the same period last year. 
 
UNITED STATES 
 
LIMA BEANS: Production of summer 1 ima beans is placed at 257,000 hundredweight, 3 percent more than last year. In New Jersey, rainfall has been adequate, and recent warm 
temperatures have been beneficial. Harvest is expected to begin after mid-July, ten days later thari usual, and extend th rough August. In North Carol ina, harvest started i n early July. Early plantings are maturing about one week later than usual. In southern areas of Georgia, harvest neared completion in early July. In southern and central counties of Alabama, harvest was in full swing on July 1. In northern counties, the crop was making good growth. 
 
SNAP BEANS: A summer snap bean crop of 894,000 hundredweight is forecast, Jown 11 percent from 1966. In New England, active harvest is expected about mid-July. The New 
York harvest is expected to sta r t by mid-July with volume supplies available i n August. In 1 Pennsylvania, development is about 10 days later than normal. In southern Ohio, peak harvest 
is expected about mid-July. Suppl ies from northern Ohio should be available in late July with peak harvest by mid-August. Crop prospects are favorable in Illinois. In Mi chigan, development has been delayed by wet weather. In southwest Virg i nia, harvest is expected to start in late July with peak volume by mid-August. The North Carol ina crop i s in good condition. Peak harvest is expected after mid-July. Light volume is expected from the mountain areas of Georgia by mid-July. Unfavorable weather caused considerable replanting. In Tennessee, recent rains improved crop prospects. In Alabama, harvest was active in most areas on July 1. In Colorado, harvest is expected to start by late July. Cool weather has delayed the crop. Hail damage has been heavy on some acreage in northern areas. 
 
The forecast of early summer cantaloups is for a production of 683,000 hundred 7 
'  weight, up 6 percent from last year. Harvest in South Carol ina began i n late June. The bu 1k of the crop is 1 to 2 weeks 1ate r than norma 1. In centra 1 Georgi a, 1 ight harvest is expected through July. Harvest began in Alabama on July 1. Harvest started in south-central Oklahoma during the first week of July. In Ar izona, harvest began on June 20 1 with peak movement expected a round mid- Ju 1y. 
 
WATERMELONS: Production of~ summer watermelons is placed at 14,487,000 hundredweight, 2 percent above last year. In North Carol ina, the crop developed well during 
June although in the northeast area, 1 imited rainfall has reduced growth, Harvest is expected to start about ten days later than usual. Harvest should be active in the Allendale-Barnwell area of South Carol ina before mid-July, and a few days later in the Pageland-Chesterf ield area. Vines are in good condition and there is a heavy set of late melons. In Georgia, harvest is nearing completion in southern areas, while supplies are increasing daily from central areas. L1ght volume is expected through July in the Cordele area. Harvest was nearing the peak in south Alabama on July 1. Light harvest was beginning in central areas but northern areas were later than usual because of poor weather at planting time. The Mi ss i ssippi early crop is in excellent condition but dry weather is beginning to hurt the late acreage. Harvest is expected to peak about mid-July. 
 
Supplies of late summer watermelons, at 3,009,000 hundredweight, are 5 percent less than in 1966. Indiana watermelons are in good condition, although about a week late in development. In Illinois, late plantings followed by persistent showers have resulted in slow growth. In Missouri, excessive rain delayed development. In Delaware and Maryland, recent rains have improved crop prospects. Harvest is expected to start in early August, about two weeks later than norma 1

GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF JULY 1, 1967 
 
July 12, 1967 
 
QEE ~orgia 
 
~aspects I~~: 
 
General rains on May 21-22, and mostly adequate rainfall since 
 
that time, have resulted in much improvement in the condition 
 
of Georgia crops, according to the Crop Reporting Service. Cotton shows the least improvement 
 
1mile the peanut, corn, soybean, and tobacco crops are very promising. Dry weather in April 
 
and most of May reduced yields of small grains below year-earlier levels. 
 
~ Productio~ Up: Corn production in 1967 is forecast at 69,230,000 bushels, 18 percent more than last year's crop of 58,824,000 bushels. Acreage to be harvested for 
grain is estimated to be 1,5o5,ooo, compared with 1,368,000 in 1966. Yield per acre is indi- 
cated at 46 bushels per acre - 3 bushels above last yearts average. 
Tobacc2 ~duction 2: Georgia's flue-cured tobacco production is estimated at 147,000,000 
pounds, sharply above the short crop of 96,380,000 pounds last year . Acreage for harvest at 73,500 is 12,500 above 1966. Yield per acre is indicated at 2,000 pounds, compared with 1,580 pounds last year. 
 
~-~ ~duction: Sharp increases in acreages of wheat and rye harvested for grain more than offset acreage declines in oats and barley and low yields and resulted in a 
total grain production 9 percent above last year. 
 
The acreage of soybeans to be harvested for beans is indicated 
at 542,000, 80 percent more than the 301,000 harvested last 
year. 
 
~~h Production ~: Production of peaches in Georgia this year is estimated at 3,000,000 bushels compared with 3,800,000 bushels in 1966. Shipments through 
July 6 total 2,400 carlot equivalents compared with 2,658 to the same date last year.

 UNITED STAT~S CROP SU1'll1ARY AS OF JULY 1, 1967. 
 
Crop prospects on July 1 wer e slightly better than a year earlier, although development was behind normal pace . Total crop acreage planted for 1967 harve st increased 7 percent to the highest level since 1960. Feed grain production is expected to be up 8 percent from last year and food grain production 19 perc ent above 1966. Milk production during June was 1 percent less than a year earlier and 6 percent below average. Egg production was up 6 percent from a year ea~lier , and 8 percent above average . 
 
1~1 Crop Acrea~ Incre~~ 
 
Crops planted for 1967 harvest total 318 million acres -- up 7 percent or 19.7 million acres from last year, and the largest total in 7 years . Total acreage of food grains increased 22 percent from last year and both feed grains and oilseeds increased 4 percent. Despite .some delays in planting, farmers were able to s eed most of their intended acreage, except for cotton, Some abandoned cotton acreage in southern areas and wheat in the central and southern Plains were replanted to soybeans and sorghums. 
 
Indicated acreage for harvest increased slightly less than planted acreage. Acreage losses after planting are expected to be above last year -- especially for winter ~lhe at, cotton, and 
corn. The current estimate of 304 million acres for harvest is 5 percent more than last year 
and the largest total since 1960. 
QQB~: Prospective 1967 production of corn for grain, at 4.5 billion bushels, is 10 percent larger than the record 4 . 1 billion bushels produced last ;y-ear ;20 percent above the 1961-65 
average .  This would be the Nation's fourth 4-billion bushel corn crop --the first tvas in 1963, the others, in 1965 and 1966. 
 
~~~AT: Production of All Whe at is for ecast at a record 1,596 million bushels, 139 million bushels above the previous high established in 1958. The yield per harvested acre 
is 26.6 bushels--second highest in history. The acreage of all wheat for harvest as grain is 60.0 million, the largest since 1953. 
 
SOYBEANS : Soybeans planted alone for all purposes in 1967 are estimated at 41. 0 million acres, 
about 10 percent more than last year's record of 37.4 million acres, and 34 percent 
above the average of 30.5 million acres. Growers expect to harvest 40.1 million acres, up 9 percent from last year and 35 percent above average.

ATHENS, GEORGIA 
 
SPECIAL PEACH REPORT AS OF JULY 1, 1967 
 
July 13, 1967 
 
Prospects on July 1 indicated the 1967 Georgia peach crop to be 3,000,000 bushels. The estimate is unchanged from last month, but 21 percent below last yearls crop of 3,800,000 
bushels. 
 
Weather during June was mostly favorable for harvest and good quality fruit was marketed. However, some interruptions were caused by scattered shower activity over the belt. 
 
County Agents report  harvest well advanced on July 7 and some sheds are closing in the 
Fort Valley area. Varieties going to market the first week in July were Blake, Shippers Late, 
Dixieland, Sullivan Elberta, Redskin, Southland and Halehaven. Elberta harvest is expected to 
be active by mid-July. Shipments through July 10 from Georgia total 2,528 carlot equivalents compared with 2,862 for the same date last year. 
 
The peach estimate relates to total production which includes rail and truck shipments, 
 
1 local sales, non-inspected truck sales to points in the State and adjoining states, quantity 
 
~ed on farms where produced, and in some years quantities not utilized because of economic 
 
conditions. Normally, inspected rail and truck shipments account for about half of the produc - 
 
, tion estimate.

 UNITED STATES - SPECIAL PEACH REPORT AS OF JULY 1, 1967 
The Nation's 1967 peach crop is forecast at 3,058 million pounds,lO percent less than last 
season and 14 percent below average. Excluding California Clingstones, mostly a canning crop, a production of 1,382 million pounds is forecast, 20 percent less than last year and 34 percent below average. Smaller crops than last year are indicated for all of the North Atlantic and Middle Atlantic States, some of the Rocky Mountain States and most of the 9 Southern States. For most of the North Central States, production is above the short 1966 crop but below average, 
California's Clingstone peach crop, used primarily for canning, is estimated at 1,676 million pounds, nearly the same as the 1,678 million pounds harvested in 1966 and 12 percent above average. Growing conditions were reasonably good in the Clingstone peach producing districts during June. Some warmer temperatures prevailed toward the end of the period but ample foliage on trees was expected to protect the fruit from damage. The season is later than last year and harvest of the extra early varieties i~ not expected until shortly after mid-July. 
California's Freestone crop of 500 million pounds is 3 percent less than the 1966 crop and 19 
percent below average. Harvest of early Freestone varieties is lagging far behind last year. Start of harvest of most varieties is about 2 weeks late. 
The July 1 forecast for the 9 Southern States--48.2 million pounds--is 36 percent less than 
the 1966 crop and 34 percent below average. Good crops in Alabama and llississippi only partial~ ly offset sharp reductions in the Carolinas and Georgia. 
In Alabama, harvest of early and mid-season varieties was nearing completion by the end of June. Harvest of Elbertas was expected to be active from July 10 to July 25. Harvest of late peaches in Ivlississippi is expected to continue into August.

many field operations during the week, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Serv ice.  
 
Nearly all sections were affected by delays in insect, disease and weed controls. Between 
 
 rains, harvest of peaches, tobacco, vegetables and melons was active. 
 
Condition of the cotton crop showed I ittle change from the previous week. Most of the  County Agents reporting described the crop as fair or poor. About 70 percent of acreage had 
set bolls with the bulk of the fruiting occurring in central and southern counties. 
 
Corn remained in mostly good condition. A number of reporters judged prospects to be excellent. 
 
Both peanuts and soybeans were in good condition with soybeans showing the most  improvement. A variety of insects caused damage to both crops as rains either washed ,off 
or delayed insecticide treatments. 
 
About one-third of the tobacco crop had been gathered by the weekend. This was below expectations due to the rains. 
 
Much hay was caught on the ground during the week. Growth on that still standing was lush but many fields had passed the usual cutting stage. 
 
Peach harvest reached about 80 percent completion. Through July 13, 2,659 carlot equivalents had been shipped, compared with 2,991 last year. 
 
, 
 
Market Managers reported harvest of vegetables and melons nearing completion in 
 
southern areas. Frequent rains reduced both volume and quality in all areas. Shipments of 
 
watermelons totaled 6,340 carlot equivalents through July 14, compared with 5,249 last year. 
 
~/EATHEI{ SUMMARY-- Showers and thundershowers occurred almost daity over most of Georgia during the week ending Friday, July 14. Many of the showers were unusually heavy and excessive rainfall amounts were recorded over much of the State. The weather observer at Monticello " measured slightly more than 7 inches during the week and several other places had over 5 inches. The statewide average for the week was nearly 3 inches. Totals were generally smallest in the extreme west central and southwest sections where several observers reported less than one inch. For many areas, this was the third straight week with heavy to excessive rainfall. The rains ended on Friday and the weekend of sunshine was a welcome change in all 
sect ions. 
 
The frequent showers and cloudiness continued to hold daytime temperatures below normal through Friday. An unusually cool mass of air moved over the State at the beginning of the weekend and brought record low temperatures for this time of year to most areas. Lows dropped to the low 50 1 s as far south as Savannah and to the 40 1 s in the mountains. Averages for the week ranged from 2 to 8 degrees below normal from southeast to northwest  
 
 
 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday {July 18-22) calls for . 
 
temperatures to average 3 to 6 degrees below normal. It will be slightly warmer Tuesday 
 
and Wednesday with 1 ittle day to day change thereafter. Rainfall is expected to be moderate 
 
to heavy in showers mainly the latter half of the period. Totals should range from~ to 
 
li inches.

 UNITED STATES MILK PRODUCTION 
June mil~_putput 1 percent elow 1~66 
June milk productiQn in the Unit~d States is estimated at  ll~l6l  million pounds, l percent less than a year earlier and the smallest output for the month since 1937. The relatively low June production was partly due to a leveling off of the seasonal peak in milk production in recent years. June production was 6 percent less than the 5-year average for the month. On a daily average basis, production increased three-tenths of a percent from May to June this year, compared with an average decrease of eight-tenths of a percent. June output provided 1.87 pounds of milk per person daily, compared with 1.91 pounds a year earlier. For the first half o. the year, milk -production was about the same as for the comparable period a year earlier. 
 
~!!!Lrate per cow up .'3 perent from a year earlier 
 
Milk production per cow during June averaged 821 pounds -- up .3 percent from a year earlier and 13 percent more than average. Production per cow was at a record level for the month in 44 states. On a daily basis , June output per cow averaged 27.4 pounds, which is slightly more than in May and compares with 26.6 pounds in June 1966.

GEORGIA FESCUE SEED PRODUCTION DOWN 19 PERCENT 
 
Qeorgi~: The 1967 production of fescue seed in Georgia is forecast at 2,050,000 pounds, 19 percent below the 1966 crop of 2,520,000 pounds, according to the Georgia Crop Re- 
porting Service. The acreage harvested for seed is estimated at 10,000 compared with 12,000 
last year, and the yield per acre is off 5 pounds. Frequent rains during June delayed harvest-

CALF CROP 
 
Releaseq 7/26/67 by GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE 
 
Georgia Calf Crop Expected to be Down 1 Percent 
 
The 1967 calf crop in Georgia is expected to total 734,000 head, according to the Crop Reporting Service. 'Ihis would be 1 percent below the 1966 calf crop of 734,000, but 7 percent ~ove the 1961-65 average of 686,000 ~ead. 
 
On January 1, 1967, there were 917,000 cows and heifers 2 years old and older (for all p~poses) on Georgia farms compared with 935,000 a year earlier. The ratio of calves born and 
to be born to cows and heifers 2 years old and older is 80 percent compared with 79 percent in 1966. 
 
- - - - UNITED STATES 
 
Calf Crop Declines 1 Percent 
 
The 1967 calf crop for the United States is expected to total 43,056,000 head, 1 percent less than 1966. 
 
Cows and heifers 2 years old and older on January 1, 1967, at 49,793.,000 head, also were 1 percent less than a year earlier. 
 
The number of calves born and to be born in 1967, expressed as a percentage of cows and heifers 2 years old and older the first of the year, is 86 percent, the same as in 1966. This ~rcentage is not strictly a calving rate because the January 1 inventory of cows ahd heifers 2 years old and older does not include all heifers that give birth to calves during the year ~d includes some cows that die or are slaughtered before calving. 
. - - - - - ------- North Central States Down 1 Percent 
...-.... . 
The expected calf crop in the North Central States ranges from 8 percent lower in JI'Iichigan to 2 percent higher in South Dakota. The East North Central States are down 3 percent while the West North Central States are unchanged from last year. 
 
Of the 16 Southern States - 10 show smaller calf crops than last year, but these decreases 
are partially offset by increases in 5 States. One State was unchanged. The calf crop in the 
South Atlantic is slightly smaller than a year earlier. 
Westerp States Unchanged 
Year to year changes in Western States c'alf crops range from an increase of 5 percent 
fwWashington to a decline of 6 percent for Wyoming. Of the eleven States represented in 
the region 5 show an increase in number while 6 indicate a smaller 1967 calf crop.

... 
 
 ....... .l'i";"  
 
The 9 North Atlantic States expect some 88,000 fewer calves born this year than last. 
 
~ery State in the region is estimated below 1966, with the largest decline - 11 percent - 
 
expected for Rhode Island.

Colonies of bees on July 1 totaled 170,000, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is I percent below the 172,000 colonies on hand a year ago. The condition of colonies on July 1 was 81 percent of normal, compared with 85 percent last year. Unfavorable weather damaged the nectar flow in southern areas and low yields are expected this year. 
UNITED STATES 
Colonies of bees on July I in the 48 States totaled 4,H37,000. This is an increase of percent from the 1966 number and reverses the downward trend in number of colonies which has continued since 1958. The largest increases occurred in the East North Central and South Atlantic regions -- both up 3 percent from a year earlier. The South Central region was up 2 percent and the West North Centra 1 increased 1 percent. The North At 1antic and Western regions were practically unchanged from a year earlier. 
Condition of colonies on July 1 for the 48 States was reported at 84 percent of normal -the same as the previous year but below the average condition for recent years. Average 
condition of colonies by reg ions ranged from 88 in the West to 80 in the East North Central. 
Compared with a year earlier, the West was up 5 percentage points, the South Atlantic was up 2, and the North Atlantic was up I point. The East North Central average condition of colonies declined 5 percentage points, the West North Central was down 3 points, and the South Central was 2 points below a year earlier. A relatively mild winter in many areas of the Nation enabled colonies to winter in good condition without excessive losses. Bee activity during spring months was hampered because of cool, wet weather conditions throughout large areas of the country. Th i s unseasonable weather caused bees to get a late start in replenishing depleted food reserves. Condition improved during late June with advent of warmer temperatures, which was favorable for bee flight and nectar flow. 
Condition of nectar plants for the 48 States averaged 79 percent of normal on July 1, , compared with 75 percent a year earlier. The Western region had the most substantial 
improvement from a year earlier -- 88 percent this year compared with 72 in 1966. The South Atlantic, at 72, was 5 percentage points above a year earlier and both the North Atlantic and South Central were up 4 points at bl and 76, respectively. Plant conditions were 6 percentage points below a year earlier in the West North Central and 2 points below in the East North Central. Plants throughout much of the 4~ States suffered from a cold, wet spring. Frost in May and June killed fruit blossoms in many areas. 
In California, the leading honey producing State in 1966, the cool, rainy spr i ng resulted in a late start, but by early summer nectar produc i ng plants were generally much more abundant than a year earlier. This is reflected in the reported condition of 93 percent compared with 70 on July 1, 1966. Florida, the second ranking honey producer in 1966, experienced a spring drought which reducea the nectar flow but June rains helped to alleviate this condition. Although the July 1 general condition of nectar plants across the Nation was 4 points above a year earlier, it varied widely between the States.

SHOWERS INTERRUPT FARM ACTIVITIES 
 
Athens, Ga., July 31 -- All farm activities were limited during the week by frequent show- 
 
" ers, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Most crops, however, benefitted from ample 
 
moisture supplies, but disease and insect controls were hampered by the wet soils and frequent 
 
showers. 
 
Cotton is sett i ng bolls in all areas, according to reports by County Agents. The crop is later than usual, and boll weevil infestation seems somewhat worse than in the past several years. ~reopen weather i s needed for cotton fruiting and insect control. 
 
Corn prospects continue good to excellent. Much of the acreage in central districts is 11made",and ample moisture supplies in northern districts seem to assure a good crop throughout the State. 
 
Peanut prospects were judged better than last year. Disease control is rather difficult, could be overcome with a few days of open weather. 
 
Soybeans continued to make good growth; additional areas are blooming and setting pods. 
 
Tobacco harvest was reported to be almost 60 percent complete. Quality of first marketings was not as good as the previous year. Prices received during the three-day sale averaged about two cents per pound less than last year, according to the Federal-State Market News. 
 
Weather conditions were unfavorable for~ making. Growth is ample, but some hay has become over-mature. Pasture condition is good to excellent in all areas. 
 
Peach harvest is complete except in the northern-most areas. Carlot-equivalent shipments totaled 2,8].3 through July 27, compared to 3,147 for the same period last year. This year's crop was of much better quality than a year ago. 
 
Sweetpotato harvest is well under way in southern areas. Supplies of watermelons and other vegetables have been 1 ight during this period. Southern pea harvest was very active. Planting of fa 11 vegetab 1~s has been de 1ayed by the continued rains. 
 
\4EATHER SUMMARY- Showers continued to occur at frequent intervals over most of Georgia week ending Friday, July 28, 1967. Amounts showed large variations from one observa- 
tion point to anothe\. The observer at Tifton recorded only .11 of an inch for the week while Jesup, 100 miles to the east, received 7.41 inches. Nearly five inches of this total fell in one 24-hour period. The Statewide average was well over an inch. This was the sixth straight ~ek of frequent, and sometimes heavy, showers over most areas of Georgia. Showers continued to occur over much of the State during the week with heavier amounts generally in the south. 
 
Georgia temperatures were slightly warmer than during the last four weeks but still averaged below normal in most areas. Averages for the week ranged from about normal at Savannah and Columbus to three degrees below normal at Macon and Rome. Minimum temperatures were about normal but the cloud i ness and frequent showers kept afternoon maximum temperatures below normal during most of the week. 
 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday (August 1-5) calls for temperatures to average near to slightly below normal with 1 ittle day-to-day change. Rainfall is expected to be moderate to locally heavy and occur as scattered thundershowers throughout the period, mainly in the afternoons and evenings.

GOERGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT 
 
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended July 29 was 8, 840, 000--3 percent less than the previous week and 6 percent less than the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. 
 
An estimated 12,031,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-- 
 
slightly less than the previous week and 8 percent less than 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 55 to 65 cents per dozen. The average price of hatch- 
 
ing eggs was 58 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. 25 per hundred. The average prices last year were 66 cents 
 
for eggs and $10. 25 for chicks.

GEORGIA - AUGUST 1 CGTTON REPORT 
 
..  August 8, 1967 
 
Prospects on August l indicated -- a Georgia cotton crop  of 220,000 bales (500-p~und gross 
 
~ight), according to information reported by crop correspondents to the Georgia Crop Reporting 
 
Service. Production at this l evel would be -96,000 bales below last year and the smallest crop 
 
of record. Acreage for harvest is estimated at 285,000 and the average yield is indicated to 
 
be 371 pounds per acre. 
 
 
 
Adverse weather during the planting season caused poor seed germination and much replanting in some areas. Many farmers failed to get good stands. This, plus heavy plant ~oss f r om cool temperatures and disease, resulted in a considerable acreage of cotton being destroyed and replanted to soybeans or other crops. 
 
Since June 1, frequent and sometimes heavy rains have raade insect control difficult , and boll weevil damage has been heavy.

Ending August 14, 1967 
YIELD PROSPECTS GOOD MOST CROPS 
Athens, Ga., August 14 Georgia's crops remain in generally good condition and yield 
prospects for most are very promising, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Record 
yields are indicated for corn, peanuts, soybeans, sweetpotatoes and hays. Record-tying yields 
are indicated for tobacco and grain sorghum, but cotton and small grain yields are down. 
County Agents repo rte d a slight improvement in the condition of cotton. Pick i ng has started in older plantings in the south. Insect control measures remained active, but weevil infestation continued to increase. 
Most of the State's corn is considered made. An average yield of 55 bushels per acre is 
expected. 
About b5 percent of the respondents judged the soybean crop as good to excellent. Many 
plantings are blooming and setting pods. Rains are needed for best development of this crop in a few areas. An average yield of 24 bushels is indicated for the State. 
Tobacco harvest moved forward ana was b5 percent complete at the end of the period. Curing 
and market i ng remained active. 
Peanut digging increased during the week. Insect and disease control continued to receive attention in several areas. 
Georgia's pecan prospects vary widely by area and variety. The August 1 forecast placed production at 45,000,000 pounds. 
Pastures and hay crops are generally good but army worms were reported to be giving trouble, espec ially in coastal Bermuda. 
Sweetpotato harvest moved forward. Market Managers reported supplies of vegetables and melons declining seasonally. 
WEATHER SUMMAKY- Rainfall amounts showed large variations over Georgia dur i ng the week ending Friday, August 11. Totals were generally smaller in the northeast where some weather observers reported no measurable rain for the week. In contrast, heavy to excessive amounts were measured at several places in the eastcentral and southeast sections. More than five ~ inches fell at both Brunswick and Newington. Divisional averages for the week ranged from four tenths of an inch in the northeast to two and four tenths inches in the southeast. The statewide average was just over one inch. There was I ittle or no rainfall during the weekend, except in the extreme south and southeast where some excessive amounts were reported. 
Temperatures were mild during most of the week, continuing the summer-long trend of un~ seasonably cool weather. Averages for the week ranged from 3 to 6 degrees below early August 
normals. The coolest weather occurred during the weekend after a cold front moved across most of the State on Friday. Early morning temperatures dropped to record, or near record, low levels for the date at several places. 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday, (August 15-19), calls for temperatures to average 4 to 8 degrees below normal with a slow warming trend through the period. Normal highs range from ~8 to 92 degrees and normal lows from 66 to 72 degrees. Rainfall i s expected to be 1 ight to moderate and occur as afternoon showers during the latter half of the period.

CROP CONDITIONS OFF SLIGHTLY 
 
Athens, Ga., August 21 --Most Georgia crops showed slightly weaker conditions during the 
 
past week, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Soil moisture shortages in many 
 
sections and continuing problems from insects were blamed for the decline. Weekend rains 
 
corrected moisture deficiencies, however. Overall prospects for good yields continued except 
 
for cotton. 
 
Infestation levels of cotton insects continued to build despite active control measures, according to County Agents reports. Light harvest continued in more advanced fields in the south and started in a few central counties. 
 
Corn prospects continued very good and earliest harvest for grain began in southernmost oounties. Cuttings for silage continued in other sections. 
 
Soybeans were judged mostly good as fewer excellent" reports were received. Insects recame more of a problem but soil moisture should be up to needs after the weekend rains. 
 
Tobacco harvest neared completion as 93 percent of the crop was judged harvested. Both ~rketing and curing remained very active. 
 
Peanut harvest made very good progress during the week. About one-fifth of the crop has been dug and about 13 percent threshed. 
 
Prospects for pecans remained varied with some sections reporting very good yields expected and others reporting heavy shedding. 
 
An unusually large number of County Agents reported serious outbreaks of army worms. Forage crops and pastures were the primary target but row crops were also being infested. Whole fielqs were reported stripped on some farms and control measures had I imited success. Coastal Bermuda w.as par\icuLarly hard  h. i.t. 
 
tl2Y harvest was reported very active during the week and quality was judged good in 
most cases. Pastures and I ivestock remained in mostly good condition. 
 
v/EATHER SUMMARY- Heavy to excessive rains fell in the southeast and extreme south at the ~ginning of the period but very I ittle rainfall occurred over the remainder of the State during the week ending F.riday, August 18. A large number of weather observers reported no measurable rain during the week. For many north and central areas it was the driest week since mid-June. General showers moved back over the State during the weekend and several areas received moderate to heavy rains on Saturday or Sunday. The weekend total exceeded three inches at Alma and was more than two inches in the Atlanta and Macon areas. 
 
Temperatures were cool at the beginning of the week but a warming trend brought readings up to near normal during the last half of the period. Mild daytime temperatures returned to the State over the weekend under cloudy, showery conditions. Averages for the week ranged from two degrees below normal at Valdosta to five degrees below normal at Macon. 
 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday {August 22-26} calls for temperatures to average 4 to 7 degrees below normal. Normal highs for the period range from 87 to 92 degrees and normal lows from 65 to 72. Rainfall is expected to be moderate to locally 
heavy and occur as mostly afternoon and evening thundershowers throughout the period.

August 25, 1967 
 
Consumption of commercial fertilizers in Georgia during the year ended June 30, 1966, totaled 1,655,471 tons - 6 percent more than a year earlier. Fertilizer mixtures accounted for 73,5 percent of th~ . total consumpt~on. The most popular grade of fertilizer used in Georgia 
.vas 5-10-15, v1ith this grade accounting for 52.7 percent of all mixtures. The second most im- 
portant grade was 4-12-12  
 
Consumption of commercial fertilizer in the United States and Puerto Rico during the year 
ended June 30, 1966, totaled 34.5 million tons -- 8 percent more than a year earlier. 
 
Total fertilizer used by both farm and non-farm interests has increased every year since the 1959-6o fertilizer year. During the 1965-66 year, 38 of the 48 contiguous States used more fertillzer than a year earlier with strong increases r egistered in the Cornbelt and Plains States. 
The remaining 10 States used less fertilizer than during the previous year. 
 
, Fertilizer mixtures accounted for 56.9 .percent of the total consumption. This compares with 
58.3 percent of total a year earlier. Direct application fertilizer materials containing pri- 
m~y plant nutrients accounted for about 38.9 percent of the total. Approximately 4.? percent of total consumption consisted of the direct application of secondary and micronutrient materials. 
 
Fertilizer consumption ihcludes all corrumercial fertilizer mat~rials .or products sold or 
 
shipped for farm and non-farm use as fertilizer. 
 
l1aterials used in manufacture of regis- 
 
'tered mixes or for uses other than as fertilizer are e;~cluded from totals. The most popular grade 
 
of mixed fertilizer vras 5-I0-10; the secono most popular grade mis 6-24-24.

RAINS HINDER FIELD WORK 
 
Released 3 p.m. Monday , 
 
cording to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service . Heavy rains delayed harvest .operations and 
interrupted insect control schedules. In several northern areas, lowland flooding cause'd crop 
losses as cree ks and rivers spilled over their banks. 
County Agents reported very little progress with cptton harvest. Insect infestations' climbed higher as weather conditions prevented insecticide applications. Defoliation began in southernmost areas during the week. 
A good crop of corn is considered 11made 11  Moisture content of the grain remains high in most areas, however, and harvesting activity must await drier t-Jeather . 
Soybeans remained in very good condition. Insect numbers were building very rapidly, how~ ever, and open weather was needed for effective control. 
Peanut digging continued between rains and by the week 's end one-third of the crop was dug. Wet conditions caused limited sprouting in windrows . Insect and disease controls were applied 
weather conditions permitted. 
Considerable pecan shedding apparently occurred during the rains. Most County Agents previously judged the crop to be good, but the majority now considered the crop only fair. Tobacco .harvest moved into the final stages, but marketing remained active. 
The  outbreak of army worms continued serious in many sections. A virus or parasi~e was re ported att.acking the worms in several areas, however , and was slowing the level of infestation. Forage crops, particularly coastal Bermuda, remained the favorite food of the worms . Insecticide treatments had some .success where the weather permitted its use. 
WEATHER S~~1ARY - Heavy to excessive rains fell over most of Georgia during the week ending 
~iday, August 25. Heaviest amounts were in the northeast mountain area where Helen had a total 
 for the week of 18.13 inches. More than 8 inches of this total occurred in less than 24 hours 
and over 13 inches fell in 2 days. Several other observers measured more thari 10 inches of rain during the week. The average rainfall over the northeast and north-central divisions was 
more than 8 1/2 inches and the Statewide average was about 4 1/2 inches, making this one of 
~orgials rainest weeks of record. The rainfall decreased from north to south, but amounts were light only in the lower coastal area and in the extreme south. Brunswick was the only station ~ in the State that reported no rain for the week. The excessive rains in the northeast damaged roads, bridges, crops, farmland, and other property. Rainfall was light during the weekend as a coldfront brought clearing skies to the northern section at the beginning of the new week. 
Georgia temperatures continued to average cooler than normal. It was warm at the beginning of the week, but the frequent rains and cloudy skies held daytime readings dotrm during most of the period . Cooler air moved into north Georgia at the end of the period. Averages for the week ranged from near normal in the southeast to five degrees below normal in the northwest . 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday (August 29 - September 2) calls for temperatures to average 3 to 6 degrees below normal, except in the southeast I..Jhere near normal averages are indicated. It should be mild most of the week and a little cooler at the week end . Rainfall is expected to range from 1/2 to 1 inch, or more, and occur about l'lednesday or Thursday.

An estimated 10,754,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-5 percent less than the previous week and 11 percent less than the comparable week a year earlier. 
 
The majority of the prices pa id to Georgia producers for broiler hatching eggs were r eported within a range of 50 to 65 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 56 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels g~nerally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for boiler chicks hy .Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $6.00 to $9.00 with an average of $7. 75 pe r hundred.

FARII1 ACTIVITY INCREASES 
Athens, Ga., Sept. 5 -- Field work, especially irr southern 
 
I 
throughout 
 
most of the week, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Peanut digging, hay harvest, 
 
cotton defoliation and picking, and insect control were major farm activities. 1rVith the ex- 
 
ception of a f ew counties, soil moistur e was adequate throughout most of the State. 
 
County Agents reported very lit tle change in cotton condition. Open weather in most areas allowed f or mor e effective insect control measures. Harvest continued light in southernmost ~eas, but defoliation in preparation for harvest increased. 
 
Cor harvest progressed slowly as high~oisture grain in most areas will require drier weather conditions. The majority of the crop is considered 11made 11 , and higher than normal yields 
expected. 
 
Sovbeans remained in yery good condition. Corn earworm control on this crop was active in 
 
Peanut digging made good progress during the week. Approximately 55 percent of the State 
acreageb.ad been dug and 38 percent had been threshed. Yields from the acreage harvested so far have averaged above normal. 
Pecan conditions range from poor to good, with most reporters expecting a fair crop. B!l~~~ was active in many areas during the week. Quality was generally low as a result of overmaturity ~nd army worm damage. To~ harvest was virtually completed. weetpotato harvest continued to make good progress from early varieties. 
 
~~ SU}~Y - Rainfall was heavy in the northwest and southeast sections and mostly light to moderate in other areas of Georgia during the week ending Friday, September 1. The observer at Rome measured 4.83 inches while several places in middle and south central Georgia had no measurable rain during the week. Most of the western and southern sections of the State received rain during the week end. Locally excessive ~aounts were reported in the west central area, where Hamilton had 4.08 inches during the 24-hour period ending Honday morning. Saint Simons Island received over 3 inches during the week end. 
Georgia temperatures continued unusually cool during the week. Week-end minimum tempera- 
 tures were in the 5ors in north Georgia after a cold front moved through the area early Friday. 
A reading of 55 at Athens Friday morning was the lowest ever recorded so early in the fall 
season. Several places had new record lows for the date. Averages for the week ranged from 
4 to 8 degrees below normal. 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday, (September 5 - 9) calls for 
continued cool weather with averages expected to be 4 to 8 degrees belot-T normal. Heavy rainfall is forecast for the period with amounts mostly between 1 and 2 inches indicat.ed. 
August rainfall ranged from excessive over the northern third of the State to slightly deficient in parts of southwest Georgia. Divisional averages were more than double the August .normals in the north central and northeast divisions. Central areas received well above normal ~ounts for the month. Averages were near normal over most of south Georgia but some areas, especially in the southwest, received considerably less than normal. August temperatures were much cooler than normal, continuing the summer-long trend of mild weather.

GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE - ATHENS, GEORGIA 
Released September 8, 1967 
-GEORGIA carTON REPORT AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 1967 
Georgiats 1967 cotton crop is forecast at 215,000 bales based on information reported by ~op correspondents and ginners as of September 1, the Georgia Crop Reporting Service said to- 
day. This is 5,000 bales below the indicated production a month ago. The current forecast is 
101,000 bales below the 1966 crop of 316,000 bales and 351,000 less than the 1961-65 average of 5~,000 bales. The current indicated crop is the smallest since estimates were started in 
lMO. Indicated yield per acre of 362 pounds is 36 pounds less than last season and 60 pounds 
below average. 
Frequent showers and cool, damp weather during August made it difficult for growers to con~ol weevils in the northern districts and crop prospects declined in this area. In the southern districts, rainfall was much lighter and the crop showed some improvement. 
The development of the crop is later than usual. According to the Bureau of Census, only 
5,529 bales had been ginned to September 1 compared to 6, 772 to the same date last year and 
36,812 in 1965.

LIMA BEANS: Production of summer 1 ima beans, at 242,000 hundredweight is 3 percent less than 1966. In New Jersey, North Carol ina, South Carol ina, Georgia, and 
Alabama, peak harvest has past but some supplies, mostly for local outlets, will be available unt i 1 frost. 
 
SNAP BEANS: The summer snap bean crop is estimated at 1,021,000 hundredweight, I percent 
 
above 1966. In the New England States, moderate supplies will be available 
 
until about September 15 and then 1ight supplies until frost. Wet fields in New York have 
 
slowed harvest. Supplies are expected to decline after mid-September. In Pennsylvania, late 
 
plantings are supplying markets with good volume. Supplies should continue through September. 
 
In Illinois, good volume is expected during September with I ighter supplies available until 
 
late October. Cool weather in Michigan has been favorable for crop development. August 
 
weather in Virginia was favorable for late planted beans. Heavy rains in southwest North 
 
Carol ina destroyed a large acreage of beans before harvest was completed. Below normal 
 
volume is expected during September. In the northwest area, acreage is in good condition. In 
 
Georgia, excessive rains and flooding in late August caused considerable damage. Rainfall 
 
~ 
 
during should 
 
August in Tennessee was adequate to surplus throughout be available until frost. Light movement continues in 
 
the State. Snap bean supplies Alabama. In Colorado, harvest 
 
is one to two weeks late. 
 
CABBAGE (For fresh market and kraut): Supplies of late summer cabbage are estimated at 3,261,000 hundredweight, 6 perce11t more than 
1966 but 5 percent below average. In Pennsylvania, good volume should continue through Septemr ber, In Illinois, supplies are ample. Harvest is nearly completed in Iowa, In North Carol ina, 
supplies during August were above normal. Large supplies are expected during September and 
most of October. In Georgia, heavy rains caused considerable damage to late plantings. Harvest is nearly completed. Harvest in Colorado is late as a cool growing season has 1 imited normal development. Supplies should be available through September. The crop in Washington remains in good condition in spite of continued hot, dry weather. In California, moderate volume continues from the Salinas Valley and south coastal areas with 1ight supplies also available from the San Francisco Bay district. Movement should continue through the late summer and fall mor.ths.

HARVEST SLOWED BY RAINS 
Athens, Ga., September 11 --Harvest operations, part icularly for peanuts, were delayed 
in some sect ions by rains, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Other field work 
was also hindered by the numerous showers. 
County Agents judged the cot t on crop to be about 10 percent gathered by the weekend. The cond ition of the crop changed ve ry 1 ittle from the previous week but defoliating became more widespre a d. 
Corn harvest made 1 i ttle progress during the week as ear moisture remained high in most 
fields. A bumper crop is expected but only about 7 percent has been harvested. 
Insect control was active in soybean fields over the State. Corn ear worms are causing the greatest damage but a good yield is still expected. 
Farmers pushed peanut harvest as weather permitted but delays were numerous over much of the peanut belt. About 73 percent of the crop has been dug and about 57 percent threshed. Several areas expressed concern about sprouting in the windrow and in the ground. Reports indicated many of those who have already gathered their crop had excellent yields. 
Hay i ng and silage harvests were active in the drier sections of the State. Pecans remained in mostly fair condition. 
Several areas reported army worms were being brought under control while others continued to fight the pest. Forage crops remained the principal food but several reports of soybean  damage were received. 
Considerable land was prepared for fall seedings during the week. About 7 percent of the 
small grain planting has been completed. 
WEATHER SUMMARY- Rainfall was generally 1ight in the northern and east central sections and moderate to locally heavy in remaining areas of Georgia during the week ending Friday, 
September 8. Some excessive amounts were recorded in the lower coastal area where both St. Simons and Sapelo Islands received more than 4 inches. Several weather observers in the 
northeast and east central sections reported no measurable rainfall during the week. For ' some places, this was the second week without rain. Most of the northern and western parts 
of the State received rain during the weekend with several observers reporting over an inch on Saturday. 
Georgia temperatures continued unusually cool for the season. Averages for the week ranged mostly from 3 to 5 degrees below normal. Early morning lows dropped to the 40 1 s in the mounta i ns at midweek and to the sos in middle Georgia. Highs were mostly in the 70 1 s and low sos with the temperature reaching 90 at only a few places. 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday {Sept. 12-16) calls for temperatures to average 3 to 6 degrees below normal, except in the southeast where near normal conditions are indicated. Rainfall is expected to average 1/2 to 1 1/4 inches and occur in showers about Fr i day or Saturday. There is a chance of heavier amounts o~ curring in the coasta I a rea.

Harvest Increasing - Yields ~ Most Crops : 
 
On September 1, harvest of Georgia 's ma jor crops was on the increase, but progress was generally less advanced than normal. Cotton picking was increasing in South Georgia.;peanut picking and threshing were moving forward very rapidly, and early corn harvest was getting under way. Yields for peanuts, corn, and soybeans are estimated at record levels. 
 
~Yield 22_ B'qshels: The estimated 1967 corn yield is placed at 55 bushels--12 bushels ab ove last year . At this l evel, total production would be 
82,775,000 bushels compared with 58,824,000 last y ar. 
 
Cotton E9ucti ~Sharply: Production of cotton is forecast at 215,000 bales compared with 316,000 last year -- down 101,000 bales . A 
.sharp drop in acreage for harvest and lower yields account for the production decline. 
 
Tobacco Production Up: Production of Type 14 tobacco is forecast at 150,675, 000 pounds, 
 
------- 
 
-- compared with 96,380,000 pounds in 1966.

Pee~ QEE ~: 
 
A pecan crop of 47,000,000 pounds is in prospect for 1967. This com- 
 
pares with last year ts crop of 37,000,000 and the all-time high of

GEORGIA CROP RE Athens, 
 
Week Ending September 25, 1967 
 
Released 3 p.m. Monday 
 
FINE HARVEST WEATHER - GRGWING CROPS NEED RAIN 
Athens, Ga., Sept. 25 -- Another week of open weather has been ideal for peanut, corn, 
 
cotton, and hay harvest, but a lack of moisture is hurting soybean and pasture growth, accord- 
 
ing to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Except for a few counties, mostly in the northern 
 
part of the State, soil moisture was reported nshort to very short. 11 
 
County Agents reported a slight decline in cotton condition from the previous week, main. ly due to the effects of dry weather on late plantings. Picking continued to increase and is 
progressing northward. Statewide, nearly one-fourth of the crop has been picked. 
 
Corn harvest was about one-fifth complete at the end of the period. Excellent yields were repor~from acreages already gathered. 
 
Peanut digging is in the final stages. Ninety-seven percent of the crop has been dug and 
92 percent has been threshed. 
 
The condition of sovbea~ declined during the week as soil moisture has become very short aver much of the State. Shedding of pods was noted in several of the drier locations. Rains ~e needed badly for the development of this crop, especially the late-planted acreage. 
 
Hav meking, silage cutting and grain sorghgm harvest moved forward during the week. 
 
Pecans remained in mostly fair condition - about the same as the previous week. SweetEotato condition declined slightly because of dry weather on late plantings. Harvest continued active. 
 
Land preparation for small grains and ~~ Eastures showed good progress, but seeding 
 
was delayed in some areas by dry soils. 
 
,. ~ 
 
. .,... . . ! 
 
v~THER SUM1ARY -- Practically no rainfall occurred in Georgia during the week ending Friday, September 22. The week end was also free of rain and for most areas of the State this was the second completely rainless week. A few places in middle Georgia have had no measurable rain in four weeks and were very dry by the end of the period. The last rain reported by the observer at Milledgeville was on August 24. 
 
Temperatures were near normal during most of the week but cooler weather moved back into the State late in the period. Early morning temperatures dropped to the forties as far south as Savannah during the week end. Several places reported new record low temperatures for one or more dates. Averages for the week ranged from one to four degrees below normal. This was the 13th consecutive week that Georgia temperatures have averaged cooler than normal. Not since June have temperatures been as warm as normal for a full week. 
 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday (September 26 - 30) calls for temperatures to average near to slightly below normal with no significant day to day changes. 
Rainfall is expected to be light, averaging less than 1/4 inch, and occurring about Saturday.

Georgia Weekly Crop and Weather Bulle 
~ GEO RGIA' CROP REPORTIN ~fJ::~~--:::~L 
A t hen s , Georgi 
Week Ending October 2, 1967 
HARVEST CONTINUES ACTIVE 
Athens, Ga., Oct. 2 -- Georg ia farmers had another week of brisk harvest- particularly 
in central and southern -areas - according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Open skies 
in these areas dur i ng most of the week .we re near ideal for harvest, but lowered prospects for 
late crops, as so il mois t ure in man y areas rema ined short. North Georgia had mostly adequate 
moisture. 
County Agents' reports showed I i t tle change in the condition of the State's cotton crop. Harvest gained momentum and became more widespread in Central Georgia. About 35 percent of the crop had been gathered by the end of the week compared with 47 percent at th1s time last year. 
Corn harvest reached one-th i rd completion, and many fields were reported nearing the proper moisture levels for harvest. Impressive yields continue to be reported as the harvest progresses. Peanut harvest has been completed except for a few scattered fields. Yields and harvesting conditions have been very good this year. 
Soybean prospects d~cl ined again last week as low soil moisture in many areas ~aused ' plants to wilt and pods to shed. Worms continued active in many fields, attacking both foliage and pods. A 1 ight frost toward the end of the period burned some fields in central and northern areas, while others escaped damage. 
Late season haymaking was very active dur i ng the week. A considerable acreage of pasture was also clipped for weed control. Pasture conditions declined, but cattle remained in good condition. 
Fall plowing and land preparation were major activities, but seeding of small grains was .delayed in many areas by dry soils. About 26 percent of the expected small-grain acreage has been planted. Sweetpotato harvest continued, Very light pecan harvest began during the period in southernmost counties. 
WEATHER SUMMARY- Heavy rains fell in Northwest Georgia but only I ight to locally moderate amounts were recorded over the remainder of the State during the week ending Friday, September 29. Six inches fell at C~lhoun and several other places i n the northwest had over two inches "on Wednesday and Thursday. In contrast, most reporting stations in the eastern and southern sect ions had less than .one-half inch dur ing the week. No rain was reported in the State during the week end as clear skies prevailed after Thursday. Large areas in the south and east cont inued very dry at the end of the period. 
Temperatures were unusually cool at the beginning and near the end of the period. Aver.ages for the week ranged from 7 to 10 degrees below normal. The first freezing temperatures of the fall occurred on Saturday morning when several places in North Georgia recorded lows of 32. or below. Scatte ~ed I ight frost was reported as far south as middle Georgia. New record .lows for September were recorded at numerous places on the 30th. Among these were Athens, Atlanta, and Augusta, each wiih 36. 
September rainfall  ranged from near normal in the northwest section to much below normal over most central and southern areas. Total rainfall was well below an inch at many places during the month and soils have become very dry. September temperature averages were much below normal over the State, con ti nuing t he cool trend that has persisted since May. 
The f ive-day forecast for the per iod Tue sday t hrough Saturday (October 3-7) calls for temperatures to average 3 to 6 degrees above normal. Little or no rainfall is expected during the period.

GEORGIA PRICES RECEIVED 4 POINTS HIGHER 
 
-.-...... ... ... .... 
 
The Index of Prices Received by Georgia farmers for all commodities increased 4 point s during the month ended September 15, 1967 to 248. This was 3 points below the September 15, 1966 index of 251. 
 
There were declines in the prices of grains, hay, livestock, and broilers. However, a substantial increase in the price of cotton and increases in the prices of milk and eggs wer e sufficient to offset the price declines, and an increase in the All Commodity Index resulted. 
 
UNITED STATES PRICES RECEIVED INDEX DaVN 4 POINTS PARITY INDEX UP 1 POINT, ADJUSTED PARITY RATIO 79 
During the month ended September 15, the Index of Prices Received by Farmers declined 
4 points (1 1/2 percent) to 252 percent of its 1910-14 average. Contributing most to the decline 
were lower prices for hogs, potatoes, and tomatoes. Partially offsetting were seasonally higher  prices for milk and eggs. The index was 7 percent below September 1966. 
The Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates increased 1 point during the month to 344. The index was 7 points (2 percent) above a year earlier. 
With prices of farm products lower and prices paid by farmers higher, the Adjusted Parity Ratio, reflecting Government payments, declined 1 point to 79. 
The Parity Ratio, at 73, was down 2 points from August.

HARVEST CONDITION IDEAL 
 
Athens, Ga., Oct. 9 --The third week of open weather enabled farmers in central and 
 
southern districts to progress rapidly with corn and cotton harvest, according to the 
 
Georgia Crop Reporting Serv i ce. Lack of ma t ur i ty i n northern districts has delayed harvest 
 
in this area. Dry soils have delayed land preparat ion and seed germination of fall planted 
 
crops a l l over the State. 
 
County Agents reported that 45 percent of the State's cotton crop has been gathered compared to almost 60 percent by this date last year. The condition of the crop showed very I ittle change from the prev ious week. 
 
Corn harvest proceeded rapidly and was 46 percent complete by the end of the week. Storage and marketing problems are delaying harvest in some areas. Frost damaged some corn in northern counties. 
 
Soybean condition declined and reports indicate prospects are so poor in some late planted fields that they will not be harvested for beans. Dry soils and insects continue to be a problem but most early beans are expected to yield quite well. 
 
Pasture condition declined seasonally but ample graz i ng is available although it is 
 
not of the best quality. Cattle remained in good condition. Seed germination and growth 
 
of winter grazinq _wa!J imited by dry soils. 
 
'4 
 
~ 
 
Seeding of small grains was slowed considerably as farmers were reluctant to place the seed in the dry soils, which also was a hindrance to land preparation. 
 
Pecan conditions are extremely varied. Harvest is just beginning. Turnip green harvest was active in south central counties. Sweetpotato harvest continued. 
 
WEATHER SUMMARY- No rain was reported in Georgia during the week ending Friday, October 6. An approaching cold front brought I ight to locally moderate rains to northern and western sections during the weekend. Some totals for the 24-hour period ending Monday morning were: Winder 1.60", Experiment 1.30", Blakely 1.12", Juliette .86, and Plains .41''. Large areas in the southern and eastern sections of the State continued very dry at the end of the period. Several places in these areas have had less than one-half inch of rain in the last 5 to 6 weeks. 
 
Temperatures were cool at the beginning of the period but a warming trend brought readings up to normal, or above, by the end of the week. Highs were in the eighties over most of the S.tate on several days and a few 90 readings were observed in south Georgia. This was the first week in the last 15 that Georgia temperatures averaged as warm as norma I. 
 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday (Oct. 10-14) calls for temperatures to average 4 to 7 below normal. It should be cool at the beginning of the 
period and become a I ittle warmer during the week. Rainfall is expected to average less than 1/4 i nch and occur in showers near the end of the week.

GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE - ATHENS, GEORGIA 
 
Released October 9, 1967 GEORGIA COTTON REPORT AS OF CCTOBER 1, 1967 
 
Cotton prospects for Georgia as of October 1 were for a production of 215,000 bales, based 
on information reported by crop correspondents and ginners, as announced by the Georgia Crop  
Reporting Service. The current forecast is the same as a month earlier, but 101,000 bales be- 
low the 1966 crop. Indicated yield per acre of 362 pounds is 36 pounds below the 1966 yield 
and 60 pounds below average. All areas of the State are expected to harvest a smaller crop than last year. 
 
Weather conditions were favorable during the month, and good progress was mad e i n harvesting operations in the central and southern areas. The crop in the northern districts is later 
than usual, and harvest is not as far advanced as normal. A higher percentage of the crop is expected to be harvested by mechanical pickers than usual. 
 
The Bureau of Census reports 80,000 running bales ginned to Cctober 1 compared to 131,000 to the same date last year and 278,000 bales in 1965.

HONEY PRODUCTION 
 
October 10, 1967 
 
GEORGIA HONEY PRODUCTION UP SLIGHTLY FROM 1966 
Georgia's 1967 honey production is estimated at 4,250,000 pounds -- 3 percent above last year's production of 4,128,000 pounds. The number of colonies on hand July 1 totaled 170,000, compared with 172,000 one year ago. Yield per colony of 25 pounds was up one pound from a year ago. This slight increase in yield is due mainly to producer's estimate of honey not harvested. Honey for sale in producer's hand on September 15 is 680,000 pounds, compared with 908,000 pounds in 1966. 
UNITED STATES HONEY PRODUCTION DOWN 11 PERCENT 
The 1967 honey crop for the 48 States is expected to total 219 mill ion pounds. This is II percent below the 1966 production of 247 mill ion pounds and 13 percent below the 1961-65 average. Yield per colony is expected to average 45.4 pounds compared with the 51.9 pound yield last year and the 5-year average of 52.1 pounds. The estimated production is based on 4,837,000 colonies on hand July 1, 1967, an increase of 1 percent from the 1966 number of colonies. 
Although the 48 States ave~age yield was the lowest since 1956, sharp fluctuation occurred between States and reg1ons. The largest declines from a year earlier occurred in the North Central States. The East North Central region averaged 42 pounds compared with 70 pounds in 1966. The West North Central decreased to 75 pounds from 93 a year earlier. Yields declined from 42 to 35 pounds in the North Atlantic and from 34 to 32 pounds in the South Central region. Yields were above 1966 in the South Atlantic region-35 pounds in 1967 compared with 32 pounds a year earlier. Yield in the West also increased slightly--from 50 to 51 pounds, due largely to the increase in California from 3~ to 48 pounds per colony. 
Honey production declined from last year in all North Central States but .the sharpest declines occurred in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Nebraska. The reduced production can be primarily attributed to the cool, wet spring which continued through June in many areas. Reports indicated that excessive swarming, insecticide losses, and early cutting of alfalfa and clover were also factors contributing to the reduced production. Areas of low production were dispersed throughout the Nation with at least one State in each region reporting production below a year earlier. Bees in northern New England and New Jersey were hampered by frequent ra.in showers throughout the season. South Carolina was the only southeastern State with a production below the relatively poor 1966 crop. Areas within reported extremely low production resulting from dry weather and use of insecticides. 
In mid-September, producers reported 79 mill ion pounds of honey on hand for sale compared with 82 mill ion pounds a year earlier. Stocks on hand this September 15 amounted to 36 percent of the 1967 production compared with 33 percent a year earlier.

GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF CCTOBER 1, 1967 
 
October 11; 1967 
 
Crp Harvest Increasing 
 
By October 1, harvest of Georgia's major crops was increasing, but progress generally was later than usual. Peanut picking was virtually complete, but only one-third of the cotton and corn crops had been gathered. Except for cotton, State average yields are very good. 
 
Corn: The estimated 1967 corn crop is placed at 84,280,000 bushels compared with 58,824,000 bushels tne previous year. Yield per acre was placed at 56 bushels . 
 
Cotton: Production of cotton is forecast at 215,000 bales - u?changed from last ~onth. Production in 1966 totaled 316,000 bales. 
 
Tobacco: Type 14 tobacco production of 150,675,000 pounds is sharply above last yearts crop of 96,380,000 pounds. 
 
Peanuts: The 1967 peanut production of 956,000,000 pounds is the largest ever produced 
in Georgia. Yields are estimated to average a ton per acre. 
 
Soybeans: The Staters soybean crop of 13,008,000 bushels is sharply above the 1966 crop of 6,923,000 bushels. 
 
. Pecans: A pecan crop of 48,000,000 pounds was indicated on October 1. The level is 1 
million pounds above the previous month's estimate, even though dry weather 
has adversely affected the crop in some areas. 
 
Milk production on Georgia farms during September totaled 86 million pounds - 3 million above production a year ago, but the same as produced the previous month. 
 
Eggs produced on Georgia farms during September are estimated at 399 milli.on._- 23 million 
 
above~ previous September total of 376 mil+ion.

OPEN WEATHER AIDS HARVEST -HURTS SOYBEANS 
 
Athens, Ga., October 16 -- Harvest opera 
 
d very active in southern and 
 
central areas, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Crops have matured slowly in 
 
northern sections, and harvest there was light. The past several weeks of near-ideal harvest 
 
weather have been too dry for late-planted soybeans, and yield prospects have declined. 
 
Georgia farmers have now gathered about half of their cotton crop, according to County Agents. Several southern counties have completed harvest, WhiiB-many northern counties were in the def oliation stage. 
 
Corn harvest made good progress during the week - particularly in southern areas where most of the cotton had been gathered. Grain storage facilities were rapidly filling in several areas, and harvest was halted in a few localities until buyers could arrange for additional storage. 
 
A few early fields of soybeans were combined during the period. Frost has stopped grovrth in many central and northern areas, and harvest is expected to soon gain speed. Overall condition of soybeans declined again due mainly to the dry weather and early up-Btate frost damage of late fields. Early plantings are expected to have good yields. 
 
Pasture conditions declined again. Cattle continued in good condition, but grazing is short in drier sections. 
 
Seeding of small grains reached 39 percent completion, but many farmers were waiting for more favorable soil moisture before risking their seed. The light rains at the beginning of the period helped some areas, while other sections received insufficient rainfall to help the situation. 
 
Pecan harvest was still slow as the main nut fall has not occurred to date. Earliest reporrs-on pecan prices appeared very favorable for the grower. Turnip ~~harvest and irrigation were very active during the period. SweetEota~~ harvest reached its peak in .several areas. 
 
WEATH~ ~1ARX - Rainfall was recorded in all sections of Georgia during the week ending ~iday, October 13, but amounts were highly variable. Totals ranged from over t wo inches at 
a few places in the extreme north and southwest to less than 1/4 inch over most of the east-

GOOD HARVEST WEATHER CONTINUES 
 
Athens, Ga., Oct. 23 -- Another week of open weather has been ideal for cotton and corn 
 
harvest, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Harvest activity, however, has been 
 
mostly in southern and central areas as crop maturity in northern counties is much later than 
 
usual. 
County Agents reported the cotton crop 58 percent picked. Picking is well along in 
southern districts, but barely started in the northern. The State's crop was three-fourths picked at this time last year. 
 
~ Corn harvest advanced rapidly and was nearly two-thirds complete at the end of the period. 
Last year at this time, 56 percent of the crop had been gathered. 
 
Soybean harvest was increasing, but remained light. Only 3 percent of the crop was gatherect-ar-the end of the week. Good yields are indicated from the older plantings, but many late beans have been hurt by dry tveather. 
 
liavm~king and sil~ cutting continued in a few areas. 
 
More than half of the small grain acreage has been seeded, but progress was slow in most central and southern areas because-a:r-dry soil. Condition of winter 2astures declined during the week, resulting from the moisture shortage. 
 
Pecan harvest gained momentum in southern areas and had reached the active stage in severa:r-counties. Crop prospects vary widely by area and variety. A total crop of 48 million pounds is expected. 
 
WEA'IHER SUHHARY - l'1ost areas of Georgia received some rain near midweek as a cold front moved-ulroughth~ate. Amounts ranged from more than an inch in parts of the extreme north to less than one-tenth inch over large areas of central, south central and southwest Georgia. A few observers in the southeast measured more than one-half inch during the week. Except 'for the southeast, most of the central and southern sections of the State continued quite dry at the end of the period. 
Temperatures were mild early in the period but turned cool again near the end of the week. Most places had their lowest temperatures of the fall season on Friday morning when readings of freezing and below were recorded in the extreme north and frost was observed as far south as Albany. Several places reported new record lows for the date. 
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday (October 24 - 28) calls for temperatures to average near normal. It should be mild the first half of the period and 
cooler thereafter. Rainfall is expected to range from .3 to .8 of an inch and occur in showers 
about Wednesday or Thursday.

S ITUATION AND OUTLOOK (B ROILERS } t..;__...._..;......,...... ~.~.-- 
 
Recent Situation 
For the 21 st cons ec utive year, broiler production incre ased again in 1967. The number produc e d in 1967 is expected to ris e 3 p ercent from the 2. 57 billion birds in 1966 . The incr ease this year is well below the 8 to 10 p ercent increase in the 2 preceding years and about the same as in 1964. Most of the increase in broiler meat production in 1967 came in the first half when production ran 6 p e rc ent above a year earlier . By September, production was cut back to year-earlier l e v el s . Broiler chick placeme nts for marketing the rest of this year indicate production will likely run below the same period in 1966. 
Prices for live broile rs ave r aged 13.8 ce nts per p ound in Janua ry - Septembe r, about 2 cents be low a ye ar earlie r. The larger supply of broilers and increased compe tition of red m eats (principally pork} and turkeys have d pr ess e d broiler prices during most of 1967. With prospe cts of broiler supplies be low a year earlie r and somewhat less competition from red meats, broile r prices are exp ected to improve moderately in coming months. The 9-city average wholesale price for broilers on October 16 was 24. 5 cents per pound. This was slightly above the mid-September price and only about 1/2 cent below a year earlie r. Larger supplies of turke y meat in the last quarter of this year will tend to temper broiler price increases . 
USDA began buying young cut-up chickens for the National School Lunch Program in September. Total purchase s for September and October amounted to 25. 5 million pounds at a cost of $7 . 6 million. Last year's prog ram purchases began in August and ended in January 1967. A total of 54 million pounds were purchased at a cost of $16.9 million. 
The cost of broiler feed in the first half of 1967 averaged almost 4 percent above a year earlier. During the third quarter, however, the cost declined and averaged almost 4 percent below a year earlier. The broiler-feed price ratio averaged 2. 7 for the January-September period, the least favor a ble since 1961. Prices reported for broiler chicks declined about 12 percent from January to 3eptember. Lower prices for feed and broiler chicks are expected to e xte nd into 1968. 
Outlook for 1968 Broiler production is expected to continue increasing in 1968, but not as much 
as in 1967. Broiler chick placements and eggs set in r e cent weeks indica.te I railer production by the end of the year will be running below a year earlie... A reduction in the Nation's broiler hatchery supply flock, which was about 1/5 larger this summer than a year ago, has been underway in recent months. Placements of pullet chicks for broiler supply flocks this year have been below a year earlier . These placements indicate the broiler hatchery supply flock will be reduced and by mid-1968 will run well below a year earlier. A reduction in size of the hatchery supply flock would tend to ease the pressure to expand broiler production. Since production of the hatchery supply flock can be diverted to table eggs or proces sing, the prospective smalle r flock would still provide the capacity for a substantial increase in production. Thus an upturn in production is likely in 1968 if red meat prices hold up in the coming year. 
Broiler prices next year may average a little higher than in 1967 . Prices in the early months of 1968 are expected to be arou;,1.d levels of a year earlier . But prices later in the year are expected to averag e moderately above the r elatively low levels ofl967.

HARVEST ACTIVE SCUTH, SLOW NORTH 
 
Athens, Ga., Oct. 30 -- Weather was mostly favorable for crop harvest during the week, " according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Good prcgress was made in southern secti~ns, 
 
but lack of maturity prevented much progress in the northern part of the State. 
 
County Agents reported cotton harvest 67 percent complete compared to 81 percent a year ago. Use of mechanical pickers is expecte9 to become widespread in northern counties this 
 week. 
 
~harvest is more than three-fourths complete in southern districts and well under : 
 
. way in all sections of the .State. It is now 70 percent complete Statewide. All sectiohs hre 
 
reporting excellent yields. 
 
 
 
J' 
 
' 
Sovbean harvest is gaining momentum and is expected to be in full swing .in about a week. 
 
Haymaking and silage cutting are nearing completion. 
 
Dry soils have limited growth of small grain~ and hampered land preparation in .squthern 
areas. Small grain seeding is about 50 percent complete compared to 74 ;~ercent last year. 
 
Pecan harvest is becoming more active. Prospects vary widely by areas 
 
WEATHER S~wMRY: Light to moderate rain was recorded over the north~estern half of . 1 Georgia during the week en~ing Friday, Cctober 27, while very light amounts fell over most of the southeastern half Several observers in northern counties measured more than an inch during the week. A number of places in the dry east central and south central s~ctions received 1no measurable rain. Except for the lm-1er coast, most areas south of the .t'all line continued extremely dry. 
Days were sunny and mild and nights were cool during most of the week. The lovTest temperatures occurred near midweek and during the weekend following the passage of fast moving cold fronts. Freezing temperatUres and heavy frost were common over north and central sec,tions on Sunday, Cctober 29. Augusta and l1lacon each had a low of 300 on this date. 
Rainfall during the: first :30 ~ays . 0f- October, was near  normal in the northern third of Georgia but was well below normal in central and southern sections. Since September was also dry, many places had accumulated large moisture deficits by the end of Cctober. Average rainfall for the two month period was only about 1 1/2 inches in the east-centl'al section. This 
was about 25 percent qf normal for the period. Most of south Georgia had less than 50 per cent 
of normal rainfall for the two fall months. Cctober temperatures averaged below normal over 
Georgia. This was .,the 9th ~onsecutive cooler than normal month and the 8th month of 1967 that 
was well belcw normal.   
The five-day for~hast for the period Tuesday through Saturday ('Cctober 31-November 4) calls 
for temperatures to average  2~ to 5 degrees above normal. Cool weather at the beginning of the 
period should be follmved by gradual warming the remainder of the week. Rainfall is expected to be light and occur as showers on Tuesday or Wednesday.

 UNITED STATES 
PECANS: The U. S. pecan crop is forecast at 202.4 mill ion pounds, 11 percent below average but one-fourth more than last years small crop. Production is expected to be below average 
in all States except Arkansas and Oklahoma. In six States--North Carol ina, South Carol ina, Georgia, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas--production is expected to be above last year, but~ smaller crop is expected in five others--Flor ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and New Mexico. Light harvest was underway in most areas by November 1 but production generally was running below earlier forecasts. 
The important producing areas of Georgia received I ittle rainfall in September and October. This lack has resulted in smaller sizes and some poorly filled varieties. In Alabama, harvest is advancing as the crop matures, and mechanical harvest is underway in south and central areas. In Mississippi, harvest is well advanced in southern districts with yields varicrle. Very few pecans have been gathered in Louisiana where damage from disease and dry weather has been heavy. In Oklahoma, harvest of a record crop has been underway for 3 weeks but will not be in full swing until the major producing areas receive a hard freeze. In Texas, harvest was active in all areas by November I and was about one-fourth complete. Harvest will pick up momentum in November.

Octobe r milk output l percent less than a year earlier 
 
October milk production in the United States is estimated at 9,209 mill ion pounds, I percent less than a year earlier and 5 percent below the 5-year average. Daily production was down 3 percent from September to October, the same seasonal decline as a year earlier. The average decline in daily production from a month earlier is 2 percent. October output provided 1.49 pounds of milk per person, daily compared with 1.53 pounds a month earlier and 1.52 pounds a year earlier. For the first 10 months of the year, total mi lk production was 
about the same as a year earlier. 
 
October rate per cow up 2 percent from a year earlier 
 
During October, milk production per cow averaged 684 pounds, up 2 percent from a year earlier and 14 percent above the 1961-65 average. Production per cow was at a record level for the month in 43 States. Daily output per cow average d 22.1 pounds in October, 0.6 pound less than in September but 0.5 pound above a year earlier. 
 
The October milk- feed price ratio, at l .73, was 4 percent above both a month earlier and a year earlier, and 15 percent above the 1961-65 average. The October 1967 ratio replaced last year 1 s record h i gh for the month.

 GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE - ATH;;:;s~--. i 
 
Released December 8, 1967 GEORGIA COTTON REPORT AS OF DECE~BER 1, 1967 
 
Cotton production in Georgia in 1967 amounted to 230,000 (500 pounds gross weight) bales, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is 86,000 bales below the 1966 crop and is the smallest production since estimates were started in 1866. The indicated 1int yield per acre of 409 pounds is 11 pounds above last year, but 13 pounds below the 1961-65 average yield of 422 pounds. 
 
The short crop is due largely to the decline in acreage. Growers took advantage of the multiple-choice program and most producers elected to divert up to 35 percent of their allotment, 
Some intended acreage was not planted due to unfavorable weather during the planting season. Only 340,000 acres were planted and 70,000 acres were abandoned, leaving only 270,000 for harvest. Most of the abandoned acres were planted to other crops, The freeze in November damaged the late .crop in the northern districts and reduced yields much below early expectations. Harvesting operations are later than usual. 
 
Bureau of Census ginnings to December 1 were 213,000 running bales compared to 303,000 to the. same date last year and 548,000 in 1965.

Grcwers intend to harvest 2,200 acres of early spring cabbage in 1968, compared with 2,500 
acres harvested in 1967. Little or no rainfall was received during November in the commercial producing areas. Fields are dry and transplanting is being delayed. 
The final summary for the 1967 crops will be mailed to you in late December or early January. 
U--n--it-e-d- S--t--a-t=e-s- 
The 1968 acreage of winter cabbage for harvest is estimated as 35,600 acres, compared 
w~th 41,100 acres harvested-last year. In Florida, harvest of the early acreage at Zellwood is underway. Hastings should get into volume movement in December with heaviest supplies expected early in the season. The Sanford-Oviedo area was starting to cut on December 1. Othe~ south central and southern areas should make light starts before mid-December. In the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, planting was underway when Hurricane Beulah hit on September 20 and only a relatively small acreage survived. The heavy rains of Beulah and heavy showers in October and in November kept many fields mud dy and resulted in a sharp reduction in planted 
r acreage. Acreage for harvest in the Valley is estimated at 5,300--38 percent of 1967 acreage. Although the acreage that survived Beulah will furnish light supplies in December and January, J it is expected that shipments from the Lower Valley will be very light until February. Ship- 
ments fr om the Lower Valley during February, March, and April are expected to be sharply reduced from the previous season. In the Winter Garden, San Antonio, Laredo, and Coastal Bend areas, the acreage for harvest is up slightly from the previous season. Harvest got underway in the San Antonio and ~Jinter Garden areas in early October and shipments should increase in December. Harvest of a small acreage in the Trans-Pecos is also underway. Harvest in Arizona is underway. The crop has made good growth. Harvest in California is now active in desert and south coast areas and should increase, reaching a peak in February. 
For the late spring cabbage crop, grot.Jers intend to harvest 11,350 acres, 4 percent below last year. Planting of South Carolina's crop is expected to begin the second week of December. In Georgia, fields were dry and transplanting has been delayed. The supply of plants was adequate as of December 1. Light movement has started from south Alabama and is expected from DeKalb County shortly. The crop in both areas is in good condition. In Ivlississippi, the crop is usually planted about the first of February. Planting in Louisiana was just getting under way on December 1 in the Breaux Bridge area, and is expected to be in full swing by the holidays. In the New Orleans i'1arket garden area, peak harvest is expected during December. In California, planting progressed normally during the first half of November. However, planting was slowed and interrupted by rains during the latter part of the month, particularly in south coastal areas.

GEORGIA: The 1967 production of pecans in Georgia is estimated at 48 1 000,000 pounds compared with 37 1 000, 000 pounds in 1966 according to the Georgia 
Crop Reporting Service. The current crop is 22 percent below the 1961-65 average production of 61 1 22 0, 000 pounds. Freezing weather during the early spring months caused damage to the bud crop and the nut set was light, especially on the Stuart variety. Soil moisture was very short during August, September, and October in the southern districts and the size of the nuts was reduced for some varieties. The 1967 production from improved varieties is estimated at 38, 000,000 pounds with 10, 000, 000 pounds coming from seedling trees. The value of the 1967 Georgia pecan crop is placed at $18,160,000 compared with $10 1 980 1 000 in 1966. 
UNITED STATES : The 1967 pecan crop is expected to total 2 07,4 00, 000 pounds, up 28 percent from last year but down 9 percent from the 5-year average. 
All states except Arkansas and Oklahoma have smaller crops than average. The wild and seedling crop is expected to account for 57 percent of the '67 production compared with the average of 48 percent. 
Production in states west of the Mississippi River is expected to total 114,000,000 pounds or 55 percent of the Nation's crop compared with the average of 45 percent. The Oklahoma crop is a record high SO million pounds, exceeding the 1947 record crop by 14 percent. 
In Georgia, spring freeze damage and dry weather in the fall months limited production to 78 percent of average. In Texas, 1967 production is 46 percent above last year and almost one percent below average. In Alabama 1 yield and quality are variable with expected production 35 percent less than average.

VALUE OF GEO~GIA C~OPS UP 80 MILLION DOLLARS: The value of the principal crops produced in Georgia during 1967 is $460,767,000- 21 percent 
above the 1966 value of $380,609,000. The increase is due mostly to increased yields per acre, 
resulting from very favorable weather conditions for food and feed crops. Peanuts are Georgia's 
most valuable crop with a value of $112,139,000, followed by tobacco with $99,495,000. Corn 
ranked third in value with $98,630,000. The value of the cotton crop (lint and seed) is 
$33,016,000, the smallest since 1932 when the I int price was 7 per pound. Soybeans made the 
largest gain in value with an increase of 64 percent. 
 
RECORD YIELDS: Corn and . eanuts ha d record hi gh yields. The 5&-bushel corn yield is nine bushels above the previous record. The peanut yield of 2,040 pounds exceeded 
the previous record by 230 pounds. The tobacco yield of 2,031 pounds equals the 1965 record. 
 
The pecan crop of 4&,000,000 pounds is II ,000,000 pounds above the 1966 production, but is below average. The size of the crop varied widely by areas and varieties. Growers received very good prices this year and the value of the crop is placed at $18,160,000. The 1967 peach . crop of 3,000,000 bushels is bOO,OOO bushels Jess than last year.

 GEORGIA - VALUE OF PRODUCTION BY CROPS 
 
UNITED STATES: In 1967, production was 3 percent more than in 1966 for the 27 principal 
fresh market vegetables. The 1967 production of 222 million hundredweight compares with 1966 production of 215 million hundredweight and the average annual production of 216 million. Crops making major contributions to this year's increased production from 1966 were onions, cabbage, sweet corn, and celery. Record high production levels were estimated for artichokes, broccoli, lettuce, and onions. The 27 principal vegetable and melon crops had a total value of 1,122 million dollars, 1 percent less than a year earlier. Leading crops in value were lettuce and tomatoes whose combined total accounted for 36 percent of the U. S. total. 
 
The five leading States in the 1967 production of fresh vegetable and melons were California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and New York. These States accounted for 64 percent of the harvested acreage, 70 percent of the production, and 73 percent of the value ef the vegetables and melons produced in the United States. 
 
This summary provides fresh market estimates for the 27 principal vegetables and melons grown commercially in the more important producing States. These estimates provide basic statistics on over 80 percent of the national output of all vegetables and melons grown for - fresh market sale. It has not been ~ossible to include all vegetables in all States in this program. 
 
These data are based upon informa tion se cured from growers, shippers, processors, public agencies, and other sources.
