eighty-five pounds. News Week

The quintuplets, Emilie, An

MAKES REPORT ON
PROBABLE ACREAGE
Purpose Is to Assist Growers
Generally in Making
Changes in Plans
POTATOES SLIGHTLY UP
The crop reporting board of the
department of agriculture at
Washington made a report recent
ly on the indicated acreage for
harvest in 1937 of certain crops,
based upon reports from farmers
in all parts of the country to the
department on or about March 1
regarding their acreage inten
tions for the 1937 season.
The purpose of this report Ist to
assist growers generally in mak
ing such further changes in their
acreage plans as may appear de
sirable.
Plans with regard to sweet po
tatoes arc not very definite this
early in the season, but they
show a nominal decrease of 2 per
cent. The intended increase In
tobacco acreage Is reported to be
15 per cent, with much larger in
creases in certain types that are
most in demand. With this in
crease the total tobacco acreage
would still be about 10 per cent
below the 1928-32 Average.
Flue cured tobacco growers in
tend to Increase the acreage of
this class of tobacco about 10 per
cent above that harvested in
1936. This increase would result
in an area of 967,800 acres, which
would still be about 2 per cent
less than the five year (1938-32)
average and about 15 per cent
less than the record acerage
grown in 1930.
Burley growers intend to in
crease the acreage of this type
of tobacco about 31 per cent
above the 1936 acreage. Even
with this increase, however, the
1937 burley acreage would be
about 5 per cent below the five
year (1928-32) average, and 19
per cent below the record acreage
grown in 1931.
Reports from growers indicate
a prospective total acreage of
peanuts for all purposes of 2,-
098,000 acres, exclusive of those
grown with com and other crops.
The intended acreage, largest on
record is 2 per cent higher than
the acreage grown alone last year
and compares with a five year
(1928-32) average of 1,702,600
acres.
The indicated increase is 4.5
per cent of the four states, Vir
ginia. North Carolina, Georgia,
and Alabama, which had 75 per
cent of the acreage harvested for
nuts in the United States in 1936.
