SECTION TWO-
State Peanut Crop
Lower Than 1953
Estimate of Yield Per
Acre Second High
est on Record
Based on reports received from
growers as of October 1, the Crop
Reporting Service estimates the 1954
peanut crop in North Carolina at 261,-
950,000 pounds. A crop of this size
would be 3 per cent below the 1953
crop of 270,810,000 pounds.
Current prospects indicate a yield
of 1,550 pounds per acre—this is un
changed from a month earlier. Scat
tered rains fell over much of the com
mercial area during September, al
lowing most of the crop to mature
without being damaged heavily' by dry
weather. If realized, this yield would
be the second highest of record, be
ing exceeded only by 1952 when the
average yield was 1,590 pounds per
acre. - •; , ■ •
N. C. Prices Received
Index Up 10 Points
The “All Farm l'rodiicts" ierie.'- ocj
prices received by North Carolina I
farmers at local markets increased to >
points during the month ended Sen j
tember 15, 1954. The September in
dex of 298 compares with an index of
310 a year earlier atid an index of
.‘IOB on September 15. 1952.
The “AH Crops” index increased 15
noints during the month due to high- j
er tobacco, Cotton, cottonseed and |
fruit prices. The big increase in the
“All Crops” index was off-*- ‘ ?■' soni »
extent by a 2 per cent dree in the
livestock .and livestock products in-j
dex. Lower bog and chicken prices ]
caused this drop in the livestock in- i
dex.
RECORD MILK PRORECTION
Estimated production of milk on
farms in North Carolina during Sep
tember totaled 154 million pounds—
the highest of record for the month,
according to the Crop Reporting Ser-'
vice. The September flow reflected a :
seasonal decline of 11 million pounds j
from the 165 million milked during the [
nrevious month but was 5 million 1
above the 149 million pounds pro
duced during September 1953.
