Lag In 23 Crops
May Send Price
Os Food Higher
WASHINGTON. (IP)—Housewives, already aghast at the
highest food prices in history, were forewarned to brace
themselves for worse.
The Agriculture Department re
ported that this year’s production
of 23 popular food crops is lagging
behind 1952 output.
Most of the foods for which re
duced supplies are in prospect are
fruits and vegetables, which are
exempt from price controls. They
rose sharply in price last month,
and officials can find nothing in
j the latest c-op report to indicate
that the trend will be reversed,
j SOME BRIGHT SPOTS
There were some bright spots,
however, to the statistic-laden re
port which the department issued
late yesterday. Despite widespread
drought, farmers are expected to
turn in a bumper wheat crop and
the fourth largest com crop on
record.
That means the livestock feed
situation, while it may be tight, at
least won’t be desperate.
Here are the food crops that
will be In shorter supply this year
than last:
SHORT ITEMS
Apples, peaches, dried beans,
dried peas, grape*, pecans, sweet
potatoes, plums, watermelons, on

Estimates On :
State’s Grops
Given Today
RALEIGH, (IP)—North Car
olina farmers had an official
estimate today on how much
the summer’s searing tem
peratures and drought have
cut into the state’s expected
agricultural output.
The North Carolina flue-cured
tobacco crop, largest item in the
state’s rural economy, was estim
ated off 12 per cent from last
year’s record production of 977,-
640,000 pounds.
In a report based on Aug. 1 con-'
ditions, released yesterday, the
State and U. S. Departments of
Agriculture predicted a 1952 flue
cured production of 853,040,000
pounds.
Most clher crop predictions were
under last year’s figures, although
the report said wool production in
the state is expected to top both
last year’s figure and a 10-year
average.
The report’s predictions of pro-
I duction of corn, fruits and nuts,
1 soybeans, peanuts, small grains,
hay, sweet potatoes and milk all
showed a decline from last year's
figures.
The report added that the effect
of scattered showers over the state
since the first of the month may
have influenced production.
8,000 ACRES MORE
The departments said the drop to
ftoe-cured tobacco would have
been much more pronounced had.
«*tbt growers planted an additional
-|,OOO acres over last year's figures.
It said the extent of the extreme
ly dry weather and high tempera
tures during June and July caused
upper leaves to scald and bottom
leaves to burn. Some of the crop,
. the report said, was harvested
prior to the rains which fell after
the first of the month.
. For other 1952 farm production,
the report predicted:
■ i
Corn—a 55,075,000 bushel crop,
the smallest since 1044, 19 per centj
below last year's production. Aver- j
age yield estimated at 25 bushels
per acre, compared to last year’s
31 bushels and a 10-year average
of 26.5
Eggs—Up over July 1951, but j
seasonally under June, 1952, pro
duction. The, report put last ~
month’s production at 1Q0.000.000 j
eggs, which It said is 2,000,000 over
the figure for the same month last
year.
. . FRUJT AND NUTS
Fruits and Nuts—Generally re- !
duced fruit prospects. The fore- I
cast put apple production up, but |
i peaches, pears and pecans are
alloted to show a drop compared
with last year.
Wool-Estimated 1952 crop, 209,-
000 pounds, compared with 1951
figure of 191,000 pounds.
Soybeans-Prospective yield low-,
est of past six years. The report
estimated the 1952 yield at 12.5
bushels per acre, compared with :
1951 figure of 16.5 .and 10-year -
average of 12.9.
■'*-' . L
Peanuts - Indicated condition |-j
above average, due to favorable ;
weather pattern for peanuts. How-., a
ever, the report put the indicated!);
average, yield at 1,250 pound per ,j
acre, compared with 1,330 for 1951,
and said the 199,000 acres being. ;!
grown for picking and threshing is i
the smallest acreage since 1933.,
